Information Circulars
Information Circulars are a special series of publications which provide government, industry and the general public with a wide variety of information relating to the geoscience database. Print runs are limited but many of these circulars are updated annually. Information Circulars distributed by the BC Geological Survey are free as long as supplies last or available on-line.  Some may be available at Crown Publications Inc.
