The McLeod Lake map area (just north of Prince George) has the potential to host many different types of economic mineral deposits. Geochemical sampling in the area was first carried out in 1986, and these samples were reanalyzed in 2006 using ICP-MS techniques. However, the samples were not included in recent INAA (instrumental neutron activation […]
Located in northeastern BC and extending into the Northwest Territories and Yukon, the Liard Basin is an exciting prospect for unconventional gas and oil development. It is a part of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and is flanked by faults, one of which separates it from the Horn River Basin. In 2012 both Apache Corporation […]
Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) partnered in 2012 to fund the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. Geoscience BC’s Board approved $530,000 for project activities, which was matched by $400,000 from ICET for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation provided generous […]

The BC Oil and Gas Commission (Commission) and Geoscience BC partnered on a hydrologic modelling project that provides water allocation decision support for oil and gas activities in B.C. The Commission completed a pilot study using this type of hydrology modelling in the Horn River Basin in March 2011. Following the release of the pilot […]
Adherence to standards by disparate groups compiling information for a common good has been a controversial subject for centuries. However, in the computer age, it has assumed greater importance, and it is easier to demonstrate the high cost of ignoring available standards. The computer age also makes it easier for us to work with multiple […]
This project saw Geoscience BC trying to track how successful it has been in positively impacting its target zones in early projects. The QUEST Project with its years of data is felt to be mature enough that it can now serve as the focus of an effective study of Geoscience BC’s impacts in that region […]
