About this dataset
Mineral Deposit Profiles provide brief summaries of the types of mineral deposits found in British Columbia. They include descriptions of host rocks, mineralogy, alteration, tectonic setting, associations, genetic models, and exploration guides, and give typical examples with grades and tonnages. Of the 160 profiles for metal, coal deposits and industrial minerals, 120 profile descriptions are in a compiled Geofile 2020-11.
