Survey Description
In 1995 and 1996, a total of 937 till samples were collected at an average density of one sample per 2.5 km2 in the Babine porphyry copper belt, west central part of the Interior Plateau, British Columbia:
| NTS Map Sheet | Number of Samples |
| 93M/1, 8; 93L/16 | 870 |
| 93L/9, 93M/2, 7 | 67 |
Some of these data are published in British Columbia MEMPR Open File 1997-18 (digital release) and all of the data are part of a comprehensive summary of the area published in British Columbia Geological Survey Bulletin 110. The data are also part of a GIS compilation published in GSC OF 4356/ BCGS Open File 2001-9 and as part of a geoscience compilation published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 5623/British Columbia MEMPR Open File 2007-10.
