Surficial geology, Granite Mountain area, British Columbia, parts of NTS 93-B/8 and NTS 93-B/9 / [authors, A. Plouffe and T. Ferbey].: M183-1/223-2015E-PDF
"The Granite Mountain area, located in south central British Columbia, includes the Gibraltar Mine (porphyry Cu-Mo deposit). Most of the map area is underlain by till of the Late Wisconsinan Fraser Glaciation. During deglaciation, meltwater channels were eroded in the hillsides of Granite Mountain and the mountainous ridge north of the mine indicating that ground at high elevation was deglaciated first. Meltwater was generallyrouted to the north through two dominant corridors: one in the west, in the region trending north from Cuisson Lake and a second one in the east, in the valleys of Ben and Skelton lakes and Arbuthnot Creek. Glaciofluvial sediments deposited during ice retreat represent potential granular resources. A glacial lake and associated delta are mapped north of Ben Lake from aerial photograph interpretation. At the western edge of the map area, large landslides most likely in bedrock and unconsolidated sediments occurred along the bedrock escarpment of the Fraser River valley. Anthropogenic deposits including wet and dry tailings surround Gibraltar Mine"--Abstract.
