Multicoloured clay and silica minerals are observed in a mineralized dacite breccia pipe. Minerals tentatively identified include malachite, celadonite, pyrolusite and opal.

The receding headwall of the Kingcome Glacier, since the photos and topos of 1979, has newly exposed celadonite, opaline silica and intense blue green colours throughout. Enclaves of dacite pitchstone remain.
