Mount Meager massif are covered with their eruptive products and serve as the surface expressions of intrusions. As a result, they provide a unique opportunity to study the relationships between magma chambers and their lavas. The mafic (rich in magnesium and iron), intermediate (between mafic and felsic) and felsic (rich in feldspar and quartz) volcanic rocks of the massif were erupted from at least eight volcanic vents. The Bridge River Vent is a relatively young volcanic crater that formed during an eruption about 2,400 years ago. This eruption ranged in character from explosive to effusive and involved lava dome extrusion, pyroclastic flows, lahars
Eastern Pilbara Craton of this region was dominated by volcanic activity, magmatic intrusion and deformation. The Eastern Pilbara Terrane is mostly volcanic in nature, and this volcanic activity occurred in relatively short, and repeated cycles These ultramafic-mafic-felsic cycles which last approximately 10–15 Myr each are accompanied by metamorphism/deformation, and followed by long pauses ( 75 myr) and clastic sediment deposition. Some of the granitic intrusions in the region are subvolcanic, which can be determined through the comparative chemical analysis of the intrusion and associated greenstones. All of these cycles are interpreted to be the result of successive mantle plume events. These events resulted
