Geology and Mineral Potential of the Warner Pass Map Sheet*
نویسنده
چکیده
The Warner Pass map area is located 185 kilometres north of Vancouver on the northeastern margin of the Coast Mountains. It covers an area of 980 square kilometres within the Chilcotin Range, and is characterized by rugged mountains and glaciated U-shaped valleys; elevations vary from IS00 metres to over 3000 mctres, with a treeline at about 1800 metres. The sheet was mapped at a scale of 1:20 MU by a four-person fieldcrew during the 1986field season. Particularattention was paid to zones of alteration and mineralization; approximately 120 rock samples were collected For trace element analysis. This report covers the first phase of a regional mapping program designed to he completed in four years and to provide 150 MUscale geological maps and mineral potentkal overlays to aid exploration in the Taseko-Bridge River area.

Separation of geochemical anomalies by Concentration-Area and Concentration-Number methods In the Saqez 1:100,000 Sheet, Kurdistan
Regional exploration and identification of anomalies can be done by geochemical data resulted from stream sediments. In this paper, fractal methods of concentration-number and concentration-area were used for regional studies, and abnormalities of elements including gold, arsenic, bismuth and mercury were studied. Statistical processing of these elements took place with the help of 1063 samples...
متن کاملA clustering approach for mineral potential mapping: A deposit-scale porphyry copper exploration targeting
This work describes a knowledge-guided clustering approach for mineral potential mapping (MPM), by which the optimum number of clusters is derived form a knowledge-driven methodology through a concentration-area (C-A) multifractal analysis. To implement the proposed approach, a case study at the North Narbaghi region in the Saveh, Markazi province of Iran, was investigated to discover porphyry ...

The Johanson Lake project is a two-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the Geological Survey and Development Branch in 2003 as part of the Toodoggone Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI). The project is focused on a belt of Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the eastern part of the McConnell Creek (94D) map sheet. This area contains a number of MINFILE occu...
