Molybdenite is associated with small, irregular, pegmatite dykes which intrude fine-grained granite of the Cretaceous-Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. The mineralization, which occurs disseminated and in patches over a 30 by 60 metre area, consists of pyrite and molybdenite with associated muscovite, tourmaline and epidote. A selected sample assayed 11.2 per cent molybdenum and trace gold and silver (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1929).
