Digital Geology and Mineral Resource Assessment

 

Projection note: Most of the information presented here has been made available in two projections. The BC Albers Standard Projection has been shown to be the best for displaying all of British Columbia. This projection reduces errors associated with GIS calculations of errors and lengths over other standard projections. Some files are available in geographic projection (decimal degrees) which is a very generic projection used in most systems.

 

All files listed here are also integrated into the MapPlace
