Geoscience BC Summary of Activities 2007, Geoscience BC Report 2008-1
January 30, 2008- Geoscience BC is pleased to announce the release of "Geoscience BC Summary of Activities 2007; Geoscience BC, Report 2008-1." This annual technical publication highlights the ongoing work of 14 current Geoscience BC projects, including Geoscience BC's QUEST Project. The entire volume is accessible online at www.geosciencebc.com/s/DataReleases.asp, and limited print and CD versions of the volume are available today and tomorrow at Geoscience BC's booth at AME BC's Mineral Exploration Roundup conference at the Westin Bayshore in Vancouver.

Geoscience BC
Geoscience BC is an industry-led, industry-focused not for profit society that works to attract mineral and oil and gas investment to British Columbia through collection and marketing of geoscience data. Geoscience BC works in partnership with industry, academia, government, First Nations and communities to promote investment in resource exploration and development in B.C.
