Project Metadata

As part of the British Columbia Geological Survey Drift Prospecting Program, a geochemical orientation survey was conducted in 1991 at the Kemess South porphyry copper-gold deposit, north central British Columbia.  The goal of the drift prospecting program is to establish drift exploration methodologies appropriate for the province through the examination of glacial and postglacial processes which influence geochemical dispersion.  The relationship between the Kemess South deposit and the overlying soils was studied to determine if the geochemical anomalies overlying it are a result of physical or hydromorphic (chemical) transport.  The data are published in British Columbia Ministry of  Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Paper 1992-1, Geological Fieldwork 1991.
