INTRODUCTION The Barketille subterrane is part of the peri-cratonic Kootenay termne, deposited along the western edge of ancestral North America. The Kooteoay temme, and possible correlative rocks of northern British Columbia and Yukon, contain numc~ous volcanogenic massive solphide deposits, concentrated largely in EoCambrian to Early Cambrian and Middle Devonian to Early Mississippian times. ...

The Eagle Bay assemblage in south central British Columbia contains numerous polymetallic massive sulphide deposits, mainly within highly deformed and metamorphosed Devonian felsic volcanic rocks. A number of these, including Rea and Homestake, have had limited past production, and others have undergone extensive exploration and development. Less known and understood are the sediment-hosted mas...
