Capsule Geology

The RLA occurrence is located approximately 9 kilometres west- southwest of Germansen Landing, on an east branch of Evans Creek (Bulletin-in preparation).

Regionally, this occurrence lies within the Middle Triassic- Lower Jurassic Takla Group rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. These rocks are intruded to the south by the Cretaceous Germansen batholith.

Little is known of this showing. Chalcopyrite and pyrite occur within argillites and siltstone of the Upper Triassic Slate Creek Formation (Takla Group) near a probable thrust fault placing lowermost Takla argillites atop Takla volcanics.
