The British Columbia Geological Survey
has published descriptions of many of the
mineral deposit types that can be found in the Cordillera. The descriptions (called
profiles) provide concise overviews of different deposit types. Economic geologists,
prospectors, resource evaluation professionals and students can use the profiles to review
the key characteristics of different deposit types including typical examples, tectonic
setting, mineralogy, alteration, genetic models, associated deposits, typical grades and
tonnages and exploration guides. Over ninety profiles for metal, coal deposits
and industrial minerals have been published in three volumes
(Open Files
1995-20,
1996-13 and
1999-10).
