Capsule Geology	The Green Star occurrence, described by Bancroff (Geological Survey of Canada Paper 40-12, page 17) lies in brown garnet skarn replacing green calcareous tuff near the west side of the Eocene Zeballos Pluton quartz diorite. The tuff, of the Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group, strikes 335 degrees and dips 60 degrees west. Chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite are reported to occur over a width of 1.5 to 3 metres.
