Capsule Geology

The Pipestem group, 3 kilometres southeast of Camborne, is located on the north side of Pool Creek, near the confluence with Mohawk Creek. It is in the area of the Harvey (082KNW180) and Moscow (082KNW042) vein.

Quartz veins, containing galena, sphalerite and pyrite, cut metasediments of the Lower Paleozoic Lardeau Group.

In 1957, Lardeau Mines Exploration Limited conducted trenching and a geophysical survey.
