At the Land showing, several small locally limonitic quartz-calcite veins are mineralized with minor amounts of pyrite, tetrahedrite, chalcocite, galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Malachite and azurite are also evident. The veins are hosted in a sequence comprising andesitic to dacitic tuffs, lithic tuff, porphyritic volcanics and greywacke of the Lower Jurassic Betty Creek Formation (Hazelton Group) and Lower-Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation (Hazelton Group). A 1.2 metre chip sample from a vein yielded 0.6 per cent lead, 25 grams per tonne silver and 0.6 per cent zinc (Assessment Report 19620, page 6).
