Geoscience BC is a non-government organization formed in the spring of 2005 and funded by a $25 million start-up grant from the B.C. Provincial Government. The funds are being used to support the collection of new geoscience data in collaboration and partnership with industry, academia, government, First Nations and communities. Geoscience products being delivered include geological mapping, geophysical surveys, geochemical surveys, and remote sensing data. In addition Geoscience BC supports the development of new geoscience techniques and methods that can be used to improve exploration success in B.C. and maintain British Columbia as a premier destination for exploration and mining companies.
