The leucodiorite of Buchanan Creek (Kbc) is faulted against a unit of metagabbro (mgb), granodiorite (Kgd), and the
Jarvis Creek Glacier subterrane (jcv) along an unnamed fault. Both units are highly sheared along the fault and a thin
unit of structural melange (too small to denote on the map) of various metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks occurs
