New Bedrock Geology Maps for Explorers in British Columbia
September 21, 2016 - Geoscience BC is pleased to announce the release of two new bedrock geology maps, which consist of integrated geological maps supporting mineral exploration in southern and central British Columbia:
New understandings of gold and base-metal mineralizing systems, Tertiary extension, and magmatism north of the Greenwood district
The Almond Mountain map sheet is located north of the community of Greenwood in southern BC, situated between the base- and precious-metal deposits of the Franklin, Greenwood and Beaverdell camps. In Geoscience BC Report 2016-08 Trygve Höy presents a new 1:50,000 scale geology map for the Almond Mountain map sheet, derived from 1:20,000 scale mapping of select areas and compilation of existing regional geological, geophysical and geochemical information. The map is accompanied by shapefiles, and geochemical and Minfile compilations.

Improving our understanding of the Chilcotin Plateau: Updated geological information near Nazko, BC
Geoscience BC Report 2016-12 presents an update on a previous report aimed at understanding the lithological and structural framework of Eocene rocks in the Nechako region (Geoscience BC Report 2011-13). Both reports present the work undertaken by Esther Bordet as part of her PhD research undertaken through the Mineral Deposit Research Unit at UBC. The highlight of this new report is an updated bedrock geology map in the Nazko area, which is supported by a field and analytical database, GIS files and a compilation of all publication produced as part of this project.
