About The Search Project
The Search Project is a $2.4 million multi-year minerals program in British Columbia's west-central region. Phase I kicked off in August 2015 and Phase II was completed in the summer of 2016. The Search Phase II survey bridges a significant distance between Search Phase I, flown in 2015, and the TREK survey, conducted in 2013. Together, these three adjoining surveys will provide continuous high-quality data covering a 55,500 square kilometre area---equivalent to the size of Nova Scotia.
