A quartz vein, up to 3.6 metres in width, lies conformably between Mississippian to Jurassic Bridge River Complex (Group) argillite and a fine-grained diorite sill. The argillites are locally folded and contorted. The quartz vein, along with stringers and lenses, contain pyrrhotite and pyrite with reported assays of 0.34 gram gold per tonne (Property File - McLeod, 1934).
