Interactive Aggregate Occurrence Map

The Interactive Aggregate Occurrence Map displays all aggregate showings, prospects and deposits identified by the Northeast British Columbia Aggregate Mapping Program.

Each location on the map contains field data and site descriptions including such information as location, primary sediment texture, surficial material, surface expression and comments or observations made at that site. Based on primary sediment texture, these sites are classified as being granular (an aggregate occurrence) or non-granular. Aggregate occurrences are presented in three categories:

Showing: An occurrence that contains sand or gravel and has had insufficient work done to establish volume and quality.

Prospect: An occurrence within a mapped geomorphic or geophysical feature known to contain sand or gravel. Assessment indicates potential to host an aggregate deposit.

Deposit:  An occurrence that can be mined economically (typically assessed by detailed testing) or is a current or past producer of aggregate.
