Capsule Geology

The Kitseguecla coal occurrence is located 18 kilometres southwest of Hazelton, south of Highway 16.

The area is underlain by Lower Cretaceous Kitsuns Creek Formation (Skeena Group) feldspathic and volcanic sandstone, siltstone, shale, polymictic volcaniclastic conglomerate and carbonaceous sediments (Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2322).

Narrow carbonaceous seams occur in sandstone which contain impure ashy coal (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 69, page 159).
