A barite-quartz system (eleven veins) is mineralized with galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, within parallel fractures and fault zones. The veins strike 158 to 162 degrees and dip vertically. Host rocks are Cretaceous age, granodiorites and hornblende diorite of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

Vein 1 strikes 160 degrees and dips vertically. It is exposed for 61 metres long, 0.3 to 1.4 metres wide, and over 13.7 metres deep. The vein contains massive sulphide pods (2.5 to 5.0 centi- metres by 5 to 15 centimetres) of galena, sphalerite and minor chal- copyrite, with quartz and barite gangue. A 68 centimetre channel sample assayed 1.93 per cent lead, 1.85 per cent zinc and 4.1 grams per tonne silver (Assessment Report 14322). A 13 centimetre channel sample assayed 3.64 per cent lead, 6.01 per cent zinc, 241.4 grams per tonne silver and 0.41 grams per tonne gold.

The remaining veins, which are smaller, are exposed along a creek for about 450 metres in an east-southeast direction. The average of several grab and channel samples assayed 2.94 per cent lead, 1.94 per cent zinc, 61.7 grams per tonne silver and 0.24 grams per tonne gold. One grab sample assayed 1.15 per cent cadmium (Assessment Report 14322).
