    Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project

    NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND EXPLORATION GEOSCIENCE PROJECT In July 2012, Geoscience BC, together with the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), committed to spend up to $930,000 on the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. The project area includes the communities of Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice, Sayward, Zeballos and Camp- bell River. The goal of the project is to attract mineral exploration interest and investment to Northern Vancouver Island through a better understanding of the area’s geology and mineral potential. The project is also working with partners to deliver information on geoscience, mineral exploration and mining to local First Nations and communities through interactive workshops and information sessions. To achieve the goals of attracting investment and creating new employment opportunities on the island, the project is generating new geoscience data for the area, including an airborne magnetic geophysical survey and a regional stream sediment geochemical sampling and reanalysis program. The airborne survey was fl own in the summer of 2012, and the data were re- leased in January 2013 at the Mineral Exploration Roundup conference in Van- couver. The data reveal magnetic variations in the earth’s surface and help ge- ologists better understand the geology of the area. The results also help the mineral exploration industry identify targets for further investigation. The regional geochemical program consists of two parts: 1) the reanalysis of over 400 till samples collected by the BC Geological Survey in the early to mid- Stream Sediment Sampling, North Vancou- ver Island. 1990s, and; 2) collection of over 700 new stream sediment and moss mat sam- Photo courtesy of Wayne Jackaman ples in fall 2012.
