The Raf 16 showing is located in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic Guichon Creek batholith. Minor disseminated bornite occurs in a chlorite-sericite alteration zone in Chataway variety, Highland Valley phase granodiorite. About 450 metres to the east of the showing, a few malachite-bearing quartz veinlets cut granodiorite. See Mer, 092INW028 for a detailed work history of the area.
