At the Evening and White Horse showing a northeast-trending marble unit, overlain and underlain by argillite, is continuous on the north and south sides of an east flowing Schulz Creek tributary. South of the creek it is cut by a granitic porphyry dyke or plug, related to the Oligocene Tkope River Intrusions. Serpentine and garnet skarn is developed along the southeast marble-argillite con- tact and along the granite-marble contact. A test pit adjacent to the dyke exposes disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, and sphalerite in serpentine skarn which assayed 13.71 grams per tonne silver and 0.07 per cent copper. About 275 metres to the northeast a trench along the marble-argillite contact exposes pyrite, arsenopyrite, and born- ite in garnet skarn which ran 8.23 grams per tonne silver and 0.21 per cent copper (Assessment Report 2357).
