Survey Description


In 1996, till geochemistry case studies were carried out at five porphyry copper prospects in the Babine porphyry belt, central British Columbia.  A total of 321 till samples were collected at these sites: Lennac, Hearne Hill, Trail Peak, Nak and Dorothy.

A summary of the work can be found in British Columbia Geological Fieldwork 1996, Paper 1997-1.
