The property covers the northeast part of the La Reine granitic pluton as well as the adjacent volcanic rocks. |
The dip slopes are interpreted as separating individual sills near the base of the pluton. |
Some 600 m below this breccia the pluton is pervaded by a fine-grained granophyre, apparently the product of a sudden and final crystallization. |
A tiny gabbroic pluton sits along the north border just east of Chambers Settlement. |
Water would naturally percolate through the rocks, and this would speed up the cooling of the pluton. |
A violet, coarse-grained, porphyritic quartz syenite, which makes up large parts of the pluton, was collected for dating. |
