Capsule Geology

The Two Bit Creek showing occurs within the Cariboo Terrane of the Omineca Belt in an area underlain mainly by greywacke and argillite probably of the Slide Mountain Group. These rocks are separated from the Barkerville Terrane by the Pleasant Valley thrust to the southwest. The Pundata thrust separates the area from the Slide Mountain Terrane to the northeast.

A vein of barite about 1 metre wide has been reported on the property.
