Description

Cambrian to Mississippian metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Eagle Bay Assemblage in the Adams Lake area of south central interior British Columbia host numerous polymetallic sulphide deposits. This paper describes the Samatosum and Rea massive sulphide deposits located in that area, their geological settings, structure, metamorphism, and mineralization. Some fundamental structural & stratigraphic problems in the region are addressed, and implications for understanding the genesis of the sulphide mineralization are discussed.
