Capsule Geology

The Zincop (Buster) showing is located just south of Outlet Creek about 80 kilometres northeast of Lumby.

The area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic Nicola Group. These comprise basic lavas and pyroclastics and sedimentary rocks including argillite and some limestones.

A concordant sedimentary-hosted copper occurrence is noted on Geological Survey of Canada Open File 637 (#289). No other information is available.
