Description
The Mississippian volcanic rocks and associated mineralization in the Pelly Mountains were studied by J. Morin during 1979 and 1980. Alkaline and calc-alkaline Mississippian volcanic rocks lie above Paleozoic platform strata of carbonate, volcanic and minor fine-grained clastic rocks. The volcanic belt can be divided into four facies designated by lithology. A model is proposed here that relates cauldron facies geology to the associated mineralization.
