There are four distinct agencies in B.C. where geoscience information
pertaining to our province can be found:
|
 | BC Geological Survey (BCGS) is
part of the Provincial Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources which manages the development of British
Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs to encourage
their mineral resource development while maintaining environmental
integrity. In addition, the Ministry regulates and inspects the exploration and mining mineral production industries
in B.C. to protect the workers, the public and the environment.
|
| Geological Survey of Canada
(GSC) is Canada's Federal agency for geoscientific information and research, with world-class expertise focusing on
geoscience surveys, sustainable development of Canada's resources, environmental protection, and technology
innovation. Click here for further information on the
geology of the Cordillera.
|
| Geoscience BC (GBC) is a non-governmental
geoscience research centre initiated by the Association for Mineral Exploration British Columbia announced in January
2005 by Premier Gordon Campbell as part of a $25 million commitment to geoscience research in BC. Geoscience publications can obtained from the Geoscience BC website
or :

| Resource Development & Geoscience Branch,
of the Oil & Gas Division, is part of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and is leading the way,
towards stimulating investment in the province's traditional oil and gas resources.
