چکیده
The Morehead Lake area is situated northeast of Williams Lake in south-central British Columbia, and is accessible by road from both Williams Lake and McLeest! Lake on Highway 97. The mapped area is in the central part of the Quesnel Trough a t its narrowest part, and is underlain dominantly by Mesozoic volcanic rocks and their epiclastic derivatives. This research wil l be completed as a Ph.D. thesis a t Queen‘s University and has been, in part, supported by the British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. I t s aim is t o define the petrochemical nature and stratigraphic relations of the volcanic and related rocks, and in particular their relationship to copper deposits in the area. This report summarizes the preliminary results of three months fieldwork carried out during the summer of 1975.
