Survey Description


Samples of outer bark from lodgepole pine were collected in 1991 in the Mt. Milligan area of central British Columbia.  This survey was done in conjunction with a regional till sampling program in the same area.  Vegetation samples were collected on as even a grid as was practically possible, attaining an average sample density of approximately 1 site per 1 km2.  In zones of known mineralization, samples were more closely spaced.  Data from the 134 sites at which lodgepole pine bark samples were collected are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3290/British Columbia Geological Survey Open File 1996-17.  These data can also be found in Canada Open File 3273/British Columbia Geological Survey Open File 1996-19, a digital suite of geoscience information.

Sampling Procedure

The outer bark was collected by scraping about 50 g of loose scales into a standard ‘kraft’ paper soil bag.  Care was taken not to include the inner bark because its composition is substantially different from that of the outer bark.
