Details: Archived airborne geophysical surveys are in the process of being published to the web. Online maps and data are available for the Clisbako, East Kootenay (Southeast BC), Endako, Fish Lake, Horsefly, Iron Mask, Interior Plateau (Williams Lake), Mount Milligan, Quesnel, and Toodoggone surveys. Links to related publications for recent and archived surveys are posted in the table below.

Additional surveys conducted in 2004-2005 resulted in new compilations shown on the 2005 Geophysical Surveys Map.

Geophysical data on this site is sourced from Natural Resources Canada. Geological Survey of Canada publication information and downloads can be located at GEOSCAN or MIRAGE, a digital image library of GSC maps.  Visit Geoscience Data Repository to download aeromagnetic, geochemical, gravity and radioactivity data.
