Operation Treasure Hunt, 1999-2002
Project Description
Operation Treasure Hunt (OTH) is a 3 year $29M Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines initiative. In this program, geological, geochemical and geophysical investigations of Ontario covering areas of high mineral potential as well as areas traditionally considered to have little or unknown mineral potential were carried out. The type of geoscientific survey, the locations and areal extent, came largely from recommendations from the technical sub-committee of the Ontario Geological Survey Advisory Board. The two largest components of this program are surficial geochemical/indicator mineral surveys and airborne geophysical surveys.
