Abstract: Mainly schitose clastic strata of the northern Selwyn basin underlie Lansing map area. These strata form rounded mountains, although jagged ridgelines occur in the thermal metamorphic aureoles surrounding six Cretaceous granitic plutons. Major faults occupy some broad northwest-trending valleys: two of these extend eastward as the Hess and Macmillan faults (Abbott and Turner, 1990) in the Macmillan Pass area; another appears to contine westward as the Robert Service Thrust Fault. Argentiferous galena veins were intermittently mined from the east edge of the map area from 1976 to 1985; whereas the stratiform base metal and disseminated gold potential of these rocks have been investigated during the 1990s.
