2020 Geoscience BC Minerals and Energy & Water Research Summaries Out Now
Vancouver, BC – January 18, 2021 – Papers summarizing 31 Geoscience BC minerals, energy and water research projects and scholarships in 2020 are now available in Geoscience BC’s Minerals and Energy & Water Summary of Activities 2020 volumes.
Summary of Activities 2020: Minerals (Geoscience BC Report 2021-01) contains 15 technical papers that introduce or report on progress from ongoing Geoscience BC minerals research projects. The papers contribute to meeting two strategic objectives: identifying new natural resource opportunities; and advancing science and innovative geoscience technologies. They describe minerals research from across the province, including innovative exploration sampling strategies, advanced data analysis, and smart mine reclamation approaches.
Geoscience BC generates independent, public geoscience research and data about British Columbia’s minerals, energy and water resources. This advances knowledge, informs responsible development, encourages investment and stimulates innovation.
Our collaboration with the resource sectors, academia, communities, Indigenous groups and government develops and shares unbiased and credible earth science research and data.
