Project History

1992-1994 Southwest British Columbia till sampling survey carried out in 1992 and 1993.
  A till sampling project was initiated in the Mount Tatlow and Elkin Creek area, southwest British Columbia in 1992-1993 to test the potential of drift prospecting to detect mineralization and to determine background metal concentrations in surficial sediments. The data are published in GSC Open File 2909.
