Capsule Geology

A 0.9 to 1.4 metre wide quartz vein, mineralized with pyrite and chalcopyrite, occurs in massive grey diorite of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. The vein is on the lower side of a dark, fine-grained diabase dyke, about 1 metre wide, that strikes 150 degrees and dips 60 degrees northeast. A 1.37 metre channel sample assayed 27.6 grams per tonne silver, 2.68 per cent copper and 0.5 grams per tonne gold (Geological Survey of Canada Memoir 205).
