Capsule Geology

Volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Hazelton Group are intruded by a diorite stock of the Cretaceous to Tertiary Coast Plutonic Complex. Several narrow quartz veins, mineralized with tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and bornite, occur in the volcanic rocks. A sample from a 15 centimetre wide vein assayed 2091 grams per tonne silver, 1.4 grams per tonne gold, and 3.6 per cent copper (Annual Report 1923).
