Project History

1995-202 Central British Columbia, Babine porphyry copper district till sampling survey carried out in 1995.
  Regional till geochemical sampling was combined with surficial geology mapping in 1995 to provide complete coverage of the main part of the Babine porphyry district. Till samples were collected for geochemical analysis to identify glacial dispersal of metallic minerals. The data are published in British Columbia Geological Survey Bulletin 110 and Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences v.38.
