Capsule Geology

A pyroxene quartz diorite stock of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex intrudes Jurassic Hazelton Group volcanics. A 2 metre wide shear zone strikes southeast for 200 metres and dips steeply southwest within a porphyritic pyroxene granodiorite phase of the Legate Creek apophysis. The shear contains quartz stringers mineralized with pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, tetrahedrite and chalcocite. A 45 centimetre sample assayed 2434 grams per tonne silver and 6.9 grams per tonne gold and a selected sample assayed 13 per cent copper, 13,234 grams per tonne silver and 2.1 grams per tonne gold (Minister of Mines Annual Report 1917).
