Veinlets crosscut green sandstone and lesser dark grey siltstone of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group, northwest of the toe of the glacier at the head of Strata Creek. Approximately twenty discon- tinuous north-northeast striking, steeply-dipping veinlets from one to four centimetres in width occur across about five metres in outcrop. Veinlets contain blebby chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena, and sphalerite(?) in a gangue of quartz and/or carbonate. Centimetre- scale rusty alteration selvages are present but alteration mineralogy was not noted. Two grab samples were taken from the veinlets, the bets assay being 136,390 parts per billion gold, 19.0 parts per million silver, and 0.29 per cent copper.
