Disseminated grains of uraninite are reported to occur within pegmatoid material associated with the Upper Cretaceous Kinnaird Orthogneiss (Castlegar gneiss). The pegmatitic horizons occur as 1 metre thick sheets within micaceous schists and gneiss. Some drag- folds in the layering have been observed on the northeast side of China Creek. Uraninite occurs within feldspar crystals which commonly have a rusty halo on weathered surfaces; it is associated with smoky quartz. Some pyrite and pyrrhotite is also present. Four drums of sample were analysed and contained an average of 0.0156 per cent uranium (Assessment Report 7609).
