Narrow zones of Paleozoic to Mesozoic metasediments comprised of limestone, quartzite and argillite occur in a wide belt of meta- volcanics comprising tuff and greenstone. The rocks are intruded by diorite stocks and dykes of the Coast Plutonic Complex.

Chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and minor sphalerite occur in a narrow north trending shear zone within altered andesite or green- stone. A selected sample from an ore dump assayed 12.5 per cent copper, 0.4 per cent zinc, 85 grams per tonne silver and 0.7 grams per tonne gold. A 2 metre sample of a shear zone, 120 metres to the east, assayed 0.45 per cent copper, 0.84 per cent zinc and trace gold and silver (Property File: Mitchell, 1969).
