Gold follows geology
BC's gold sits in particular belts, faults and intrusive contacts — and is then reworked by glaciation. Read the bedrock and the surficial cover together and you read where the gold came from and where it ended up.
Four ways prospectors put it to work
Host rocks at a glance
See the belts, intrusions and units that carry gold.
Faults & contacts
Structures where gold concentrates.
Surficial cover
Quaternary geology shows what's hiding the bedrock.
Tie it to the surface
Overlay geochem and occurrences to see why an anomaly sits where it does.
Bedrock and the glacial cover
Bedrock geology
Seamless BCGS bedrock.
Surficial geology
Quaternary glacial cover.
Geology questions, straight answers.
The BC Geological Survey (BCGS) seamless bedrock geology, plus Quaternary surficial mapping.
BC is heavily glaciated — the surficial layer shows till, glaciofluvial and alluvial cover, which controls placer ground and how geochem signals move.
Survey-scale bedrock units, contacts and structures — enough to read the host rocks and the cover over them.
