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