New Geology Maps in Whitesail Lake Map Area, British Columbia

December 5, 2007 - Geoscience BC is pleased to announce the release of four new geology maps in the Whitesail Lake map area, British Columbia. These maps are final deliverables for the project "Distribution and Controls of Economic Mineralization along Intermontane/Coast Belt Boundary, Whitesail Lake map area, British Columbia", which was co-funded by Geoscience BC, the Geological Survey of Canada, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the University of British Columbia. The principle investigator on this project is Dr. J. Brian Mahoney, from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

The project focuses on detailed bedrock mapping and evaluation of economic mineralization potential in the southern and western Whitesail Lake map area.

The following maps are now available from the Geological Survey of Canada:
