The Ecstall Greenstone Belt is a north-northwest trending

Kitimat, in the vicinity of the Ecstall River. This 80 km (50 mi) long and 3 to 20 km (1.9 to 12.4 mi) wide geologic feature forms a small portion of the 2,000 km (1,200 mi) long Central Gneiss Complex, which ranges from Proterozoic-to-Paleozoic age. Metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks as well as quartzite and layered gneiss comprise the Ecstall Greenstone Belt.[1]
