Capsule Geology

The Eddy showing is located along a roadcut 100 metres east of Highway 101, 5.8 kilometres north-northeast of the head of Pender Harbour on the Sechelt Peninsula.

At the Eddy showing, pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization is exposed over a 60 by 60 metre area. The mineralization is hosted in a roof pendant of basalts and andesites of the Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation, Vancouver Group. The roof pendant is surrounded by diorite and granodiorite of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex.
