Capsule Geology

A vein outcrops on a mountainside, 460 metres above the head- waters of Widgeon Creek. The vein is hosted within Late Jurassic diorite of the Jurassic to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex.

The vein varies from 0.05 to 0.10 metres in width and strikes north with a near vertical dip. Mineralization consist of abundant chalcopyrite and pyrite in a gangue of quartz.

The showing was prospected and trenched by E.F. Holt in 1900.
