Till British Columbia 1999

Till sampling survey, NTS 104N,O, northwest British Columbia, 1999.  


British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, Energy and Minerals Division, Geological Survey Branch

Survey Description

45 bulk till samples were collected at six sites in 1999 in the Swift River area, northwest British Columbia. Basal till was the preferred media, although colluviated tills and colluvium were sampled where necessary. The data are published in British Columbia Geological Survey Paper 2000-1 (in Geological Field work, 1999).

Data Description: Paper report with data lists.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by ICP-MS after aqua regia digestion, by lithium metaborate fusion-ICP for major oxides, and by INAA for 35 elements.

Project History

1999-2000 Northwest British Columbia till sampling survey, carried out in 1999.
  An integrated surficial mapping and detailed till geochemistry survey was conducted in 1999 in the Swift River area, northwest British Columbia. Characterization of geochemical signatures in the study area will assist in the development of future geochemical exploration projects. The main objectives of the project were to stimulate exploration and economic activity by conducting till geochemical case studies at known prospects to better develop and refine the geochemical response of mineralization; and, to further define areas of high mineral potential through till geochemistry. The data are published in British Columbia Geological Survey Paper 2000-1 (in Geological Fieldwork, 1999).
