Project Concept: Regional Geophysics - Identifying New Opportunities

Strategic Focus Area:  Concept

Summary



Critical minerals and metals are essential to Canada’s economic security and are important to the electrification that a net-zero emissions economy requires. Locating new deposits of minerals and metals within British Columbia can boost both provincial and regional economies, while contributing to the governments’ net-zero emissions goals.

New regional airborne geophysical surveys can provide significant geoscience datasets that can be used to support mineral exploration and investment decisions by industry, community, Indigenous group and government.

Geoscience BC has a strong record of providing high quality geophysical data to attract mineral exploration investment. For example, QUEST project data is still a vital mineral exploration tool after more than 15 years.

How to Contribute

This is a Project Concept being developed by Geoscience BC with input from our project partners, members and advisory committees. We are seeking project sponsors to contribute funding or other support for on-the-ground research. Organizations that contribute funding to Geoscience BC research projects can secure significant tangible benefits, such as early access to valuable data. In addition, industry contributions help to attract further support and investment from others.

Supporting research projects and sponsoring Geoscience BC initiatives demonstrates that your organization understands the value of independent public geoscience, increases your profile and demonstrates leadership.
