Capsule Geology

Irregular shaped pegmatite masses of feldspar and quartz occur in quartz diorite of the Coast Plutonic Complex. Erratically distributed and irregular shaped pods of chalcocite, bornite and covellite with minor chalcopyrite, gold and silver occur mainly with the feldspar near the margins of the pegmatite and locally within the country rock. A large pegmatite mass, measuring at least 100 by 30 by 15 metres, which has been explored by underground workings contains lenses of bornite and chalcocite up to 1.2 metres wide. A 4.5 tonne sample assayed 50.6 per cent copper, 606.9 grams per tonne silver and 57.3 grams per tonne gold (Minister of Mines, Annual Report 1921).

Recorded production for 1918 to 1926 totals 1,773 grams of gold, 49,018 grams of silver and 33,423 kilograms of copper. This showing was not examined in the field.
