This report summarizes the methodology and results of a Level 2 Mineral Resource Assessment of the Coast Information Team's (CIT) project area which encompasses approximately 11 million hectares.  A review of the original Level 1 MRA is also included because the Level 2 MRA is built on the results of the original assessment.  The primary purpose of this assessment was to provide more detailed information on metallic and industrial mineral resource potential in support of a multi_disciplinary economic gain spatial analysis being done on contract to the CIT.  The resource assessment was carried out in early October 2002 and final results delivered to the Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management and the CIT at the end of December 2002.
