Capsule Geology

The Indata Lake Manganese occurrence is situated 1.6 kilometres west of the south end of Indata Lake, approximately 49 kilometres southeast of Takla Landing.

The area is underlain by sediments assigned to the Carbonaceous to Jurassic Cache Creek Complex west of the Pinchi fault zone, which traverses the area in a north-northwesterly direction.

A vein of braunite (manganese silicate) and psilomelane (manganese oxide) reportedly occurs in limestone assigned to the Cache Creek Complex. The seam is said to vary from several to 61 centimetres in width and has been traced for over 18 metres (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 252, page 195).
