Capsule Geology

The area is underlain by quartzite and metavolcanic phyllite rocks of the Lardeau Group. Small crosscutting to irregular quartz veins contain pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and possibly molybdenite.

A stratabound zone related to a limestone horizon contains pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. Rock and soil samples from the porperty indicate that gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper are present in anomalous concentrations.
