Open File 2009-05 presents a 1:50 000-scale surficial geology map of the Redstone area, located approximately 150 km east of Williams Lake, British Columbia.  This map characterizes the surficial materials and glacial features that occur within the map area and shows their areal distribution.  This mapping was conducted as part of a mineral potential assessment of the Redstone and Loomis Lake areas (NTS 093B/04, 05).  Till samples were collected for trace element analyses, heavy mineral separations, and gold grain counts to assess the base and precious metal potential of the area.  Till sample locations are included in this map.  The analytical portion of this assessment was supported by the Geological Survey of Canada (Natural Resources Canada) through the Mountain Pine Beetle Program.

Areas of unstable ground, and areas that contain deposits of sand and gravel, have been identified in this map.  This information may be useful for future development in the map area.
