Sphalerite and tetrahedrite occur with arsenopyrite and minor chalcopyrite and galena in a tabular, fault-bounded body which cuts granitic rocks of the Cassiar batholith. Diamond drilling between 1986 and 1988 outlined a deposit 1100 m long and 50-100 m wide containing geological reserves of 12.3 million tonnes grading 6.17% Zn and 26 g/t Ag. These reserves are amenable to open pit mining and the deposit is open to depth.
