 Well - We've submitted our First Earth Cache ever - so let's keep our fingers crossed that they accept it.. lol
A lot of the Princeton Area (Nicola Group) was developed during the Upper Triassic Period. This occured between the Palaeozoic & Mesozoic Periods.
This resulted in quite a varicoloured lava; consisting of argillite, tuff, limestone, chlorite, sericite schist.
The area we've brought you to was developed primarily at that time. Nearby at the Belfort Caches and the City of Princeton itself was developed during the Miocene or earlier area - (Cenozoic Period) in that area you will find mainly shale, sandstone and conglomerate, coal along with Varicoloured andesite and basalt.

I nformation & Photos from Similkameen Spotlight & Princeton Museum: Part 1
In the 1910 report of the Minister of Mines for BC it was reported “Copper Mountain has been extensively prospected by the BC Copper Company and that the camp has progressed little since it was reported by Mr. Robertson in 1901. At the Mountain and at Voights Camp work continues by means of diamond drilling, open cuts, trenching, tunnelling and shallow shafts”.
