Capsule Geology

The region is underlain to the west by the Coast Crystalline belt and to the east by Mesozoic and Tertiary volcanic and sediment- ary rocks. A hybrid zone along the eastern margin of the Coast Crystalline Belt contains elements of both terranes. In this zone Mesozoic rocks have been incorporated into the plutons and are overlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks. The degree of metamorphism and deformation of the Intermontane Belt supracrustal rocks increases towards the Coast Crystalline Belt.

The Panorama Ridge East showing consists of copper and silver mineralization within a foliated complex of granitic gneiss, amphibolites, schists and migmatites incorporated in the Coast Crystalline Belt. Other than its location shown on Geological Survey of Canada Map 1202A, nothing is known of this occurrence.
