Ruby Creek is a porphyry molybdenum deposit hosted by multiple phases of felsic
intrusives belonging to the Cretaceous aged Surprise Lake batholith at the junction of two
large fault systems. Molybdenum occurs as molybdenite with only minor amounts of other
sulphide minerals such as pyrite and chalcopyrite.
