This map indexes geographically referenced, regional- and property-scale till geochemical andmineralogical surveys that use subglacial tills to target base and precious metals in BritishColumbia. Regional-scale surveys are listed by NTS; property-scale reports by presumed deposittype. Also included are lists of topical studies relevant to drift prospecting in the province andelsewhere.The index is presented area in square kilometres. In the digital versions of this index advancedsearches can also be conducted on fields such as source author, source type (data available indigital or PDF form), or source series to name a few. Publication page URLs are supplied for eachsurvey where the source files, PDFs or digital data can be downloaded. Also included issupplemental information which, when applicable, states where data are originally from and/or haveelsewhere been used. When this has occurred not only is the publication information provided forthe other surveys but links to their publication pages as well. This enables users to see all sourcesof the same data.Reports and data can be viewed and downloaded from the following websites.British Columbia Geological Survey Publication Catalogue: www.BCGeologicalSurvey.caBritish Columbia Geological Survey Assessment Report Indexing System (ARIS):http://aris.empr.gov.bc.ca/Geological Survey of Canada: http://geoscan.nrcan.gc.ca/geoscan-index.html
