Why: Results from the Search II Project -- the largest airborne geophysical survey conducted in Canada in 2016 -- indicates the potential for new copper, silver and molybdenum deposits in west-central British Columbia. This data will help explorers decide where to focus their efforts which will lead to on-the-ground exploration activities that will create jobs and stimulate the regional economy.
About The Search Project
The Search Project is a $2.4 million multi-year minerals program in British Columbia's west-central region. Phase I kicked off in August 2015 and Phase II was completed in the summer of 2016. The Search Phase II survey bridges a significant distance between Search Phase I, flown in 2015, and the TREK survey, conducted in 2013. Together, these three adjoining surveys will provide continuous high-quality data covering a 55,500 square kilometre area -- equivalent to the size of Nova Scotia.
