Capsule Geology

The Tip Top showing is located 1.0 kilometre southwest of Homestake Creek, 31 kilometres north-northwest of Alice Arm.

The showing occurs at the eastern margin of a 10 kilometre long, northwest trending body of plagioclase-hornblende porphyritic andesite of the Lower Jurassic Hazelton Group. The andesite, informally called the "Copper Belt", has been extensively pyritized and variably silicified and sericitized.

Disseminated pyrite and minor chalcopyrite occur in andesite cut by numerous quartz veins.
