Shadow Gully is an eroded fault-line high on the south flank of Mt. Snowdon. The gully is floored with mineralised breccia cemented by hematite and magnetite in which microscopic grains of cassiterite and scheelite are present.
The mineralisation is fine-grained and its study involves the use of the petrological microscope.
