Capsule Geology

The Silver Queen showing comprises a quartz-carbonate vein system about 30 metres wide striking northwest and dipping gently southwest, hosted in greenschist and marble. Mineralization in the veins consists of argentiferous galena and sphalerite. The veins extend north across Scotch Creek at low water.

The showing area is underlain by the Lower Cambrian Johnson Lake unit and the Devonian and/or older? Woolford Creek unit, both of the Eagle Bay assemblage.
