Survey Description


Helicopter and truck-supported sample collection was carried out during the summer of 1990 in the Fernie map area.  Stream sediment and water samples were collected from 922 sites from an average density of 1 site per 12.5 km 2 over the 11,500 km 2 survey area.  Provincial parks were excluded from the sampling program.  Field duplicate samples were routinely collected in each analytical block of twenty samples.  The data are published in British Columbia Regional Geochemical Survey RGS 27.

In 2016, the samples were reanlaysed by ICP-MS and the data are published in Geoscience BC Report 2017-4.

This survey was carried out using National Geochemical Reconnaissance (NGR) protocols.
