Capsule Geology	The Vicars Pass showing area is underlain by granitic rocks of the Triassic-Jurassic Wild Horse batholith. A 0.3 hectare area of surface sediments is enriched in uranium. The 3.0 metre layer averages 0.0132 per cent uranium, with a 0.5 metre thickness assaying 0.0215 per cent uranium (Culbert, R.R., 1979).
