Geological Summary
Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation basalt and andesite flows, massive Quatsino Formation limestone, Parsons Bay Formation argillaceous and carbonaceous sedimentary rocks, and Lower Jurassic Bonanza Group andesitic flows and breccias are intruded by Jurassic- Tertiary granodiorite, diorite and andesite. Skarn mineralization containing chalcopyrite, bornite, sphalerite, galena, pyrite, magnetite and specularite occurs along limestone contacts for over 2 kilometres. The mineralization strikes northeasterly, usually has a shallow dip to the southeast and has been block faulted. Some faults may have served as channelways for mineralizing solutions.
