GEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF THE YAHK MAP AREA, SOUTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN UPDATE (82Fll)

This article summarizes new findings of the East Kootenay project after completion of 2 months of fieldwork in the Yahk map area (82F/I) in 1994. The project was initiated in 1993 to provide 130 000-scale geological maps with improved stratigraphic correlations, and to stimulate base metal exploration southwest of the Sullivan mine. Work in 1994 focused on fill-in traverses and measured sections to complete mapping of the Yahk sheet. and the Iron Range Mountain study (Stinson and Brown, 1995, this volume). The regional geological setting and 1993 preliminary results were summarized by Brown el a/ . (1994); two 1:50 000-scale maps are now available (Brown_ 1995a, b).
