Capsule Geology

This is a poorly documented occurrence of copper-lead mineralization, very roughly located 11.25 kilometres southwest of the mouth of Denetiah Creek (at Gataga River), 10 kilometres south-southeast of Mount Winston in the Kechika Ranges of the Cassiar Mountains (Bulletin 12, page 51).

The area, just southwest of the Northern Rocky Mountain Trench, is underlain by a variety of sedimentary rocks of Cambrian to Devonian age belonging to the Cassiar terrane of the Omineca Belt (Geological Survey of Canada Maps 42-1962, 1712A, 1713A). No detailed mapping has been done in this area to delineate these rocks further.

Virtually no geological description of the occurrence is available, only that quartz veins contain pyrite, chalcopyrite and galena (Bulletin 12, page 51).
