Capsule Geology

The showing is located at an elevation of 305 metres on Baddeck Creek, 4 kilometres east of Yakoun Lake. An adit was driven south 60 degrees east for 15 metres across the measures.

Several thin seams of coaly material, less than 7.6 centimetres thick, occur interbedded with shale and shaly sandstone of the Cretaceous Queen Charlotte Group, Haida or Skidegate formations. The coal is an impure coked anthracitic material. The basin in which the coal occurs is a narrow north northwest trending syncline, with coal exposures on both the southwest and northeast (Camp Trilby) limbs. The dips of the coal seams are steep. The syncline is partially covered by Tertiary volcanic flows.
