Capsule Geology

The Belle Vue showing is located on the west side of the Skeena River, approximately 4.8 kilometres northwest of Cedarvale.

The area is underlain by sediments of the Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group which are intruded by Tertiary (and possibly younger) granitic Coast Plutonic Complex rocks.

A number of quartz veins, 0.3 to 1.2 metres in width, occur in quartzite. The veins strike 345 degrees and dip steeply west. A quartz vein is reported to exhibit copper staining (malachite?) over 1.2 metres. Assay results from a sample of this vein were negative.
