Survey Description


In the winter of 2012-2013, 5 boreholes were drilled by Mud Bay Drilling near Nanaimo, British Columbia.  Geochemial analyses by pXRF spectrometry were completed on sediments collected from 2 of the holes: Cochrane (130 m deep) and Spider (117 m deep).

The data are published in Geological Survey of Canda Open File 7651.
