Re-Release of the Mineral Deposit Research Unit's Iskut River Area Maps (1989-1993), Northwestern British Columbia (NTS 104B/08, /09, /10, Parts of 104B/01, /07, /11)

Between 1989 and 1993, the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) at the University of British Columbia conducted the study Metallogenesis of the Iskut River Area, Northwestern British Columbia (the Iskut River Area Project). This project was undertaken in response to intense interest by the mineral exploration and mining industry and the need for an integrated approach to metallogenesis and discovery in the region. The original maps associated with this project were released in Lewis et al. (2001) as Adobe Acrobat PDF files of AutoCAD line drawings. Geoscience BC and MDRU are re-releasing these highly detailed maps to the public in a modern GIS format, which will be a valuable contribution to the BC exploration industry.
