Capsule Geology

The Ho showing is located within the central Quesnel Belt, underlain by Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola Group. Intruding these rocks are Early to Middle Jurassic felsic alkalic plutons which commonly host pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization.

The showing is underlain by Nicola Group basalt, tuff and breccia, a syenite-diorite intrusion and a small area of Tertiary sediments. Mineralization consists of disseminated chalcopyrite, pyrite and malachite within stringers cutting the felsic intrusion.
