In 2004 the Geological Survey of Canada conducted a multisensor (gamma-ray spectrometric, magnetic total field) helicopter-borne geophysical survey in the Tisdall Lake Area, southeast of Mount Polley, British Columbia, Canada. Flight lines were oriented NE-SW, spaced at 250 m intervals. The survey was flown under contract by Fugro Airborne Surveys. Funding was provided by Amarc Resources Ltd.  Support for the Geological Survey of Canada’s Radiation Geophysics Section, acting as the Scientific Authority for the survey, was provided under Natural Resources Canada – Earth Sciences Sector’s Northern Resources Development Program.

This survey was published with the Quesnel Geophysics Map to MapPlace on April 8, 2005.  The MapPlace data includes digital gridded images for 2 magnetic and 7 radiometric parameters for each survey area. The downloadable files from this website are in georeferenced TIF – tagged image and PNG formats (UTM NAD 83 and Albers projections) and GRD - Geosoft gridded data format (UTM NAD 83 only). PDF theme files are also available. 

A full product release of the Tisdall Lake survey and the 2005 Eagle (Murphy) Lake-McKinley Creek surveys were made July 2006 by the Geological Survey of Canada as Open File 5292, with free download, and  Open File 5293, with free download from GEOSCAN.  This compilation is displayed on MapPlace as the 2005 Geophysical Surveys Map.  The original GSC Geosoft gridded data format (.grd) is available for download.
