Capsule Geology

The Cop showing is located about 27 kilometres north-northeast of Dease Lake.

Minor chalcopyrite in quartz veins occurs in an area mainly underlain by metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Mississippian to Triassic Kedahda Formation (Cache Creek Complex). Some of the rocks are reported to be graphitic shales and greenstones.

In 1972, Union Miniere Mining and Exploration Corp. Ltd. conducted geological mapping and geophysical and geochemical surveys.
