Work History
Discovered in 2009 by C. Roots of the Geological Survey of Canada during a regional geological mapping program.
Capsule Geology
C. Roots noted a small outcrop on the banks of the West Coal River consisting of fine grained, altered biotite granodiorite (Cretaceous?) intruding rusty-weathering pyritic, cherty hornfelsed sediments assigned to the undifferentiated Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Vampire – Narchilla Formations. Skarn and granodiorite coincide with a regional magnetic high.
