Capsule Geology

The area is underlain by Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation andesitic volcanic rocks of the Vancouver Group. These are interbedded with, and overlain to the northeast by a northwest trending belt of Quatsino Formation limestone (Vancouver Group) known historically as the "lime-belt". The Vancouver Group rocks are in fault and/or intrusive contact to the northeast with intrusive rocks of the Juro-Cretaceous Coast Plutonic Complex.

A "dyke" carrying some copper was reported (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1911).
