Widespread low grade copper-molybdenum mineralization is exposed just east of Lyon Lake, 14.5 kilometres north of Halfmonn Bay on the Sechelt Peninsula.

The War showing is hosted in a roof pendant of carbonates, amphibolite and related metavolcanics of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation(?), engulfed in diorite and quartz diorite of Upper Jurassic age, within the southwestern margin of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. The roof pendant trends north- northwest along the east side of the Sechelt Peninsula for 12 kilometres.

A zone of sulphide mineralization is developed over a 1700 by 850 metre area in the north end of the pendant, within north striking, steeply dipping volcanic flows and tuffs altered to meta- diorite, and greenstone accompanied by minor argillite, quartzite, chert and limestone. These units exhibit extensive chlorite and sericite alteration. Pyrite occurs with minor molybdenite and chalcopyrite as fracture-fillings, disseminations and blebs in the volcanics and sediments, and in a stockwork of quartz veinlets. This sulphide mineralization is accompanied by intense silicifica- tion. A hole drilled in an area of greater sulphide mineralization assayed 0.049 per cent copper and 0.0024 per cent molybdenum over a core length of 66.2 metres (Assessment Report 10352, page 38).
