Central Interior copper-gold study focused on vast Quesnel Terraine.
But when it comes to determining where those deposits lie, it can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
All the findings of the Central Interior Copper-Gold Research program are publicly available and they provide geological evidence to help inform land-use decisions of mining companies, government organizations, Indigenous groups and communities and help create economic development opportunities. The 9,00 square-kilometre Quesnelia deposit belt covers the area on which Prince George sits. It stretches 1,500 kilometres from the U.S. border almost as far as Dease Lake in northwestern B.C. and is between 30 and 100 km wide. Samples taken from glacial till sediments left behind from the erosion of retreating glacial ice range from a few centimetres to hundreds of metres thick.
“But the theory is that beneath that till left behind by the last ice age, which is very hard to see through, there may be other copper and gold deposits. The purpose of the program is to get an understanding of what might be in that area below the till.”
