- Abstract
- Pertains to the geology and mineral deposits of Northern British Columbia and West of the Rocky Mountains. Through the practice of mining, prospecting and geological exploration, we have been able to vastly increase our understanding of geological material. The publication focuses on both general geology and economic geology. Additionally, the publication offers information pertaining to the history of mining, and the ways in which it has transformed our understanding of geological material.
