Capsule Geology

The Sunset is located at the head of Scott Creek. An 18-metre shaft and 7.6-metre adit were completed in 1898. Mineralization consisting of galena, sphalerite, and pyrite in a quartz gangue occurs in small cross-fractures. The country rocks are metasediments of the Lardeau Group. A sample from the dumps assayed 1 gram per tonne gold, 1334 grams per tonne silver, 12.2 per cent lead and 21 per cent zinc (Annual Report 1925, page 260).
