Survey Description


During the summer of 1978, helicopter and truck-supported stream sediment and water sampling was carried out in the Nass River area of west central British Columbia.  Samples were collected at an average density of 1 sample per 6 km 2.  One field duplicate sample was routinely collected in each analytical block of twenty samples.  The data were published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 773 and in British Columbia Regional Geochemical Survey RGS-2 in 1980.  The samples were reanalysed by INAA and republished in BC RGS 43 in 1995.

In 2016, the samples were reanalysed by ICP-MS and the data are published in Geoscience BC Report 2017-04.

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