AbstractThe Tachie Pluton, found northwest of Fort St. James, consists of biotite diorite to tonalite. It is equigranular, medium grained, and composed of abundant plagioclase, quartz and biotite. Schlieren textures and enclaves occur with biotite pegmatite and mafic concentrations in discrete bands. Aplite and pegmatite dykes, along with hornblende-rich dykes are late syn- to post-intrusion features found throughout the pluton. The pluton resembles diorite and quartz diorite of the McKnab Pluton south of Stuart Lake.
