Capsule Geology

Quartzite beds of the Middle and/or Upper Ordovician Mount Wilson Formation strike 120 to 140 degrees and dip 60 to 75 degrees northeast. On the HCJ property the quartzite forms a continuous northwesterly trending cliff. Thicknesses up to 30 metres may be sufficiently free of impurities to constitute high-grade silica. The unit varies from a quartzite with well-cemented glassy quartz grains to a less well-cemented white sandstone.
