Capsule Geology

A shear zone within granodiorite of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex contains a quartz vein mineralized with pyrite, arsenopyrite, and minor azurite and malachite. The main vein strikes 140 degrees and dips 40 degrees northeast. It is about 45 centimetres wide and 60 metres long. A typical sample assayed 8.9 grams per tonne gold and 48 grams per tonne silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1914).
