The test sample site from the Stawamus Chief occurrence is located about 3 kilometres east-southeast of the community of Squamish, 1.75 kilometres east of Stawamus Chief Mountain, just off a road.
The area, in the vicinity of Squamish at the head of Howe Sound, is underlain by Cretaceous granite and granodiorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.
The stone from this site is medium to coarse-grained white granite with black biotite specks, similar to "Island White Granite" quarried near Squamish (see 092HNW067). B.C. Rockworks International tested the site in 1991.
A new (1996) plant in Squamish, operated by Garibaldi Granite and Pender Capital Corporation, will process stone from this quarry.
