Till British Columbia 1996

Till sampling survey, NTS 82M/4,5 southeastern British Columbia, 1996.  


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

Survey Description

Approximately 500 till samples were collected in 1996 in the Adams Plateau-North Barriere Lake area, southeastern British Columbia. The data are published in British Columbia Geological Survey Open File 1997-9.

Data Description: Paper report and data lists. Digital data on diskette.

Quantities Analysed: <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 35 elements; by ICP-AES after aqua regia digestion for 30 elements; by lithium borate (LiBO2) fusion-ICP for 11 oxides, LOI and 7 minor elements.

Geochem Plots Available: Proportional dot maps show dispersal of selected elements.

Project History

1996-2000 Eagle Bay drift exploration project, 1996-2000.
  In southern British Columbia, till sampling was carried out in the Adams Plateau-North Barriere Lake area (NTS 82M/4,5) in 1996, in the Louis Creek-Chu Chua Creek area (NTS 92P/1,8) in 1997 and in the Chu Chua-Clearwater (NTS 92P/8,9) and Shuswap Highlands areas (NTS 83M/3, 82L/13,14) in 1998. The surveys are part of a larger multidisciplinary integrated resource assessment program aimed at defining the mineral potential of south-central British Columbia. The till geochemistry surveys demonstrate the utility of integrating surficial geology mapping and exploration geochemical methods to located buried mineral deposits in areas of drift-covered terrain. The data are published in British Columbia Geological Survey Open Files 1997-9 (Adams Plateau-North Barriere Lake), 1998-6 (Louis Creek-Chu Chua), 2000-17 (Chu Chua-Clearwater) and 2000-18 (Shuswap).
