The surficial geology, drift thickness and till sampling suitability maps for six new areas, are part of the Central Interior Copper-Gold Research (CICGR) series’ Surficial Exploration Project. The Surficial Exploration Project is generating new maps, reports and data to help trace geochemical anomalies back to their bedrock source between Quesnel and Mackenzie.
The new maps inform the collection and interpretation of new geochemical and mineralogical data from glacial deposits to improve understanding of the rocks below. Initial reanalysis results and map sheets for the northern part of the project were published in 2021, and final research results and reports are expected to be available later in 2022.
“The Central Interior Copper-Gold Research projects play a vital role focusing mineral exploration in BC,” Geoscience BC Vice President, Minerals, Christa Pellett said in a media statement. “The new maps are central to…
