Capsule Geology

The four claims (Clover 1-3, Blacksmith) are located a few hundred metres from the east shore of the Pitt River. An outcrop of granodiorite rises abruptly above Pitt Meadows. Prospecting in the area revealed sparse, disseminated mineralization consisting of minor chalcopyrite and molybdenite. The mineralization is hosted within granodiorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. Local, small workings exhibit sporadic malachite staining.
