Geoscience BC to Release Report 2010-14 on September 21 at 10 am (Pacific)
September 16, 2010 -Geoscience BC will be releasing Geoscience BC Report 2010-14 "Relative Drift Thickness Map, North-Central BC (93G, 93H/w, & 93J/s)" on September 21st at 10 am Pacific Time.
The map shows relative drift thickness in north-central BC, covering NTS mapsheets 93G, 93H/w and 93J/s. Constructed from previous mapping and recent field-checking, the map is intended as an aid to mineral exploration, providing information on the distribution and relative thickness of surficial sediments and generalized ice flow history. This will help to determine areas that are more suited for drift prospecting and bedrock prospecting, as well as provide guidance as to the dominant transport direction when interpreting the results of geochemical surveys.
The map in PDF format, the ESRI ArcGIS map document and data used to produce the map will be included in this release. The datasets include ice flow indicators, drift thickness and outcrop locations, along with base map features providing background context. The report is by D.M. Maynard, B.C. Ward, M. Geertsema, N. Roberts and D. Sacco, and is an interim project deliverable for GBC Project 2007-026 (www.geosciencebc.com/s/2007-026.asp).
Geoscience BC Report 2010-14 will be available from Geoscience BC's website at www.geosciencebc.com/s/DataReleases.asp
