Geology and Geochronology of the Hellroaring Creek Stock, British Columbia

Abstract
Hellroaring Creek Stock intrudes rocks of the Precambrian Purcell Supergroup which crop out in southeastern British Columbia. Previous K–Ar measurements (Lowdon 1961) indicated a minimum age of 700 m.y. for this stock. Present Rb–Sr isotope measurements indicate an approximate age of 1260 m.y. Cleavage in the contact aureole of the stock indicates a structural event prior to intrusion.
