Geological Summary
Interbedded argillite and tuff, with minor chert and limestone, of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group, underlies the claims. These rocks are intruded by diorite and andesite as narrow dykes and sills, and as small stocks. Within the sediments are one or more calcite breccia zones, well pyritized and one large zone of "slump breccia" (Copperfield conglomerate). Minor disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite occur throughout. Calcite breccia zones are heavily mineralized with pyrite, locally with significant gold values. One significant gold bearing quartz carbonate fault structure is known on the property.
