Geology and Mineral Potential of the Chilko Lake Area

چکیده
by intermittent land masses on the northeast and southwest. The area has been cut by numerous right-lateral transcurrent faults and the stratified rocks now lie along the northeastern flank of the Coast Plutonic Complex. leletzky and Tipper (1968) described a faunal stratigraphy for the Taseko Lakes map sheet and discussed the role of the Qaughton trough in the geological history of southwestern British Columbia. The rocks in the current study area record a volcanic island arc environment on the southwest flank of the 'Qaughton trough. as opposed to the dominantly clastic sedimentary environments in the axial regions of the trough (McLaren, 1986a).
