Geological Reconnaissance in the Bridge River Mining Camp

The Bridge River mining camp comprises five former producing mines and numerous currently active mining prospects. The camp may be roughly defined as those properties lying within the Bridge River drainage basin bounded by the Coast plutonic complex on the southwest and the Shulaps ultrabasic complex on the northeast. Reconnaissance work by ministry field parties in 1986 and 1987 covers approximately 1500 square kilometres of mapping. This includes all of the Bralome map sheet (921115) and pans of the Bridge River (92J116). Birkenhead (92JilO) and Noaxe (920102) sheets (Figure 1-7-1).
