Once again our annual conference is almost upon us. This year, our 29th Annual Conference has the theme,“Mining Potential Unearthed.” This is so true for BC, we truly are a province with deep roots to mining andwithout it many would not have the comforts they have grown to expect and rely on. Unfortunately, thepast few years have not been very kind to the mining community and many people have moved on to otherbusiness ventures. I wish you all the best of luck. The ones that remain do so for “the love of the job”. Weneed people like these as they are committed to our resource based industry and with them come supportfor organizations such as AME BC and the regional groups. They come from all walks of life and comprise across-section of people from every corner of the province. Thank you for your commitment, and thank youfor your continued support and belief in this province.
Although our conference is the biggest draw of the year for many from other parts of BC, our real focus inKamloops and the surrounding communities is KEG Outreach. To that end, the largest part of outreachcontinues to be our Public Lecture series, now in its fourteenth year. Not surprisingly the series continuesto build and expand yearly and this year started in January with an excellent lecture “High ResolutionImagery and DSM in Mineral Exploration” presented by Dirk Tempelman-Kluit on the use of drones and theirpotential use in industry. All of the lectures are something not to be missed so please check out the websiteand plan to attend one or all. Don’t forget we have our annual KEG Social before the April 7th lecture whichis “Wells Gray World Heritage – Volcanic Gem of the Cariboo Mountains” presented by Catherine Hickson.Lastly, our final lecture by a guest from the T.rex Discovery Centre in Saskatchewan will almost certainly bea draw and will be a fitting end to another great series!
Not to be overshadowed by the lecture series we are also involved with Ask-A-Geologist, Geocaching,School Visits and support for School Trips, Adopt a Geologist, Junior Delegates Program, three Scholarshipsand Grants to other Organizations. As always, we are grateful for the funding we continue to receive fromAME BC.
The KEG is always pleased to be able to award scholarships from three different funds. Locally, the DavidMiller Scholarship is awarded to a deserving Thompson Rivers University student; the Ken DaughtryGeoscience Award is awarded to one or more UBC Okanagan students at the Kelowna campus and theRonald C. Wells Geological Education Fund is awarded to one or more geoscience students at universitiesacross Canada. Congratulations to all the recipients this year!
This past year we lost another giant in the industry. Albert “Ab” Ablett of AMEX Exploration Services Ltd.passed away in late December. As one of the KEG’s founding members Ab helped to shape the future forthe conferences we have come to enjoy and as president of AMEX he trained and mentored many a young“bush rat.” He was always quick with a story or a joke and I for one will always remember him with a chuckle.Rest in peace Ab, you earned it!
Best of luck to all for 2016!

KEG Supports the timeless efforts of prospec-tors. 2015 was the first year that KEG sponsoredprospectors to attend Roundup to showcasetheir discoveries. Chuck Marlow, JeremyMarlow, John Larue, David Piggin and Len Pigginspent two days at the propsector tent talking tointerested geologists, prospectors and mineralexploration companies. This proved to be avaluable experience and KEG is proud to con-tinue this sponsorship in the future and will besponsoring several prospectors to attend in2016.

KEG received letters from many of the students thanking us for bring-ing Dr. Young in to speak to them. Most of the students that expressed thier favourtie partsof the hour long talk had one thing in common... learning about how the saber-toothed tigerkilled their prey.

ALBERT (Ab) ARTHUR ABLETT
On July 28, 1935 a son entered this world in the family home of Arthur and May Ablett, at the FairviewMines near the little town of Oliver, British Columbia. The third of what would eventually be sevenchildren, Albert was almost instantly rechristened “Ab” … Ab Ablett … it was not a stutter, but you’dbe forgiven if upon him telling you his name, you had thought it so.
Eighty years later, on December 28, 2015, Ab left this world, peacefully in his sleep, in the family homenear the not-so-little town of Kamloops, British Columbia. He is survived by his wife, Ella Anna of almost58 years, two sons, David and John (Yvonne), and one daughter, Cathi (Trevor) Marshall: twogranddaughters, Catherine and Sarah Ablett, two grandsons, Tysun and Chayse Marshall, three step-granddaughters, Jess and Alex Green, and Pam (Derek) DeGagne: three brothers, Doug (Marie), Gordon(Val) and Richard (Carole), and two sisters, Sheila (Godfrey) McDonald and Donna Owens (DavidWeddell).
He was predeceased by his older sister, Vivian Harder.
And into those 80 years he crammed a lot of living.
Ab lived in many towns when he was young: the list includes Oliver, Kelowna, Vernon, Salmo, OceanFalls and Vancouver where he graduated from High School, then went to work for Ford, Bacon and
Remembering Ab Ablett Davis as a surveyor in Vernon. But family was still in Vancouver, and while visiting the family he met hissister’s friend, Ella. They were married in 1958. Ella became the love of his life.
They moved to Kamloops, in 1958 and Ab soon went to work for Inland Natural Gas (Fortis) as asurveyor. But his talents for understanding complex systems resulted in him being sent to whereverthere were problems, and in six years he was transferred multiple times, finding new homes inPenticton, Prince George, Summerland, (Vancouver again briefly) and Trail. When another transfer wasapparent, he said “enough” and moved back to Kamloops where he returned to working as a surveyor,this time for McWilliam, White and Goble. And again, his skill in other areas found him in a crampedoffice at a drafting table. Ab was good at drafting, but it was not what he wanted to do.
Then, in 1966 he had an idea that changed everything.
AMEX: In June Ab and Ella started their own business: AMEX Exploration Services Ltd. At the time,Kamloops was hardly the place to set up shop. But Ab had a gift … he knew what Kamloops couldbecome, and he knew it would be the centre of Mining in BC. The mining company offices, however,were all in Vancouver. So he went there, and pounded on every single door. No prospective client wastoo big or too small, and in the five decades that followed, he worked for hundreds of them.
Of course, staking millions of mineral claims and cutting thousands of miles of survey lines is notsomething you do by yourself. Over those years, AMEX employed upwards of 1000 people, many ofthem young, inexperienced and perhaps unprepared for life.
“Ab was a great friend to us all...a mentor...a very special human being! He wasresponsible for bringing so many of us wayward souls together, and we’ve remainedfriends to this day.” – John Watters, former AMEX Bush Rat
When in 1974 the government practically shut down prospecting in BC and rewrote the Mineral Act, noone knew how to stake the new claims. Ab wrote a guide to the new act that explained exactly how itworked and what prospectors had to do to secure their title. It was so accurate, clear and concise thatthe Ministry of Mines published the guide and gave it away free to all Free Miners. Ab also proposedseveral changes to the Mineral Act’s legislation, almost all of which were adopted, to improve the lot ofminers and prospectors in BC.
Then again in 2005, when BC abandoned the requirement to physically stake mineral claims in the bushin favour of an electronic system, Ab was able to help dozens of Mining Companies and prospectors toproperly secure their title under the new system. Sometimes you can teach an old dog a new trick.
But all things come to an end, and in December, 2014 Ab and Ella closed the doors of AMEX. For 48years AMEX had provided services to the mining community and jobs for many young people in theKamloops area. And for almost all of that time, the office was in the family home. In fact, many of theemployees became like family, and Ab was as much their friend and their mentor as he was their boss.
Golf: “… ‘Why are you so late?’ his wife chided. ‘Now wait one minute, woman. I would have you knowthat Charlie passed away on the third hole today.’ ‘Oh my, that’s terrible, but it still does not explainwhy you are so late?’ ‘Well think for a moment what it was like for me: Hit the ball, drag bloody Charlie,hit the ball, drag bloody Charlie….”
It was an attitude like that, that earned Ab a 4 handicap for most of his golfing years, and even a 7handicap as a senior; that saw him score 7 hole-in-ones; and that made him many lifelong friends fromthe links of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club as well as the Rivershore Golf Club.
Mining: “Dad once found a hole in the middle of the title for the Afton Mine. He could have askedmillions for it. Instead, he staked it in their name and only asked that they pay his expenses (probablyunder $50).”

To say Ab had integrity is to grossly understate his true nature. Nothingcould ever be “wrong” … everything was painstakingly worried to theminutest detail. The maps he drew were marvels.
Ab was a member of the Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG), theAssociation for Mineral Exploration, BC (AME BC), the Engineers Club(Vancouver, BC) and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada(PDAC). He attended various industry events every year for decades andnever stopped shaking hands and telling stories.
Art: “I am not an artist … I am just a doodler.” This is true. He was arenowned “doodler” and many placemats and napkins, in restaurants fellvictim to his graphic tags. The instant he sat down in a restaurant,especially one with a paper placemat, out would come the pen. A broadwhite space would soon turn into an elaborate landscape, with mice andbirds, old logs and trees: perhaps an outhouse or a cabin; maybe a lake or abrook. But before the meal came, there would be a new piece of art in theroom.
Ab would always dismiss them, just flipping the placemat over again whenthe food arrived, but more likely than not, with the meal came a newplacemat, this one intended for its common purpose and not the canvass ofan artist, the adorned placemat whisked away and shown around the room.
Ella recalls, “One time we were travelling, and I looked at this art hanging on the wall in the restaurant.It was a drawing of Ab’s that he had drawn on the back of the restaurant’s placemat during someprevious trip and they had framed it. In the corner it said ‘$75’.”
Service: For many years, Ab supported the local community as a member of the Brocklehurst LionsClub, the Gyro Club of Kamloops and the Social Credit Party of BC. He was passionate about politics, butjust as passionate about helping someone in need.
He was never slow to offer someone a helping hand. He once jumped to the aid of a man who wasbeing attacked by another man with a knife, getting wounded in the process, but saving the victim’slife. He fed and provisioned a prospector that just happened upon his camp … the man had not eatenfor days. And one time he stopped his car after noticing some marks in the gravel road. He climbeddown an embankment to find a car, hidden under some trees, the driver pinned and unable to get free.
And every day he showed generosity in every way he could. He made it his business to help the lessfortunate.
If you knew Ab, you loved Ab. If you met him, you probably would not forget him.
A wonderful story teller, Ab had a thousand tales, some true … some not so much … but all were veryentertaining.
I hope he likes this one.
Ab did not want a funeral; a celebration of life will happen in the spring (details TBA). In lieu of flowersplease consider a donation to your local food bank or mission, or just give someone less fortunate a fewdollars and say, ‘This is from Ab.’

Mining Day 2015 was very successful with over 600 people attending the 4th annual miningeducational event. Guests of the day included many families, the media, and two of our Provin-cial Ministers, Minister Terry Lake and Minister Todd Stone. Everyone enjoyed themselves andlearned about our Mining Industry, from exploration to reclamation.
Displays included rocks and minerals, fossils, heavy equipment, and interactive hands-on dis-plays that demonstrated the various aspects of our mining industry. The KEG display continuesto be one of the most fun and interactive displays; from the “how a bike comes from mining”display (and a chance to enter the draw to win the bike), and birdseed mining (a competitive‘mining’ of birdseed looking for valuable beads). Several simulators were enjoyed by all, as theparticipants took a seat in trying to drive heavy equipment. Yukon Dan also participates in theevent, teaching children and adults how to find that elusive and very desirable yellow metal,gold.
A guest appearance by Dylan Armstrong, Olympic Bronze Medalist in shotput, at the TeckHighland Valley Copper display, added to the fun of the day. Dylan had many photo ops withthose attending Mining Day.
The Big Little Science Centre was again a wonderful host for the event, and we appreciate theircontinued support in providing the venue site for this educational event.
The event was co-hosted by KEG and CIM South Central Branch. The event is supported by manylocal mining related companies, volunteer organizations (local rockhounding and paleontologyclubs), the Mining Association of BC, the volunteer committee that organize the event for themonths prior, and the volunteers who help out on the day of the event. The committee cannotthank enough, the support of all these companies and groups, for their continued support ofthis important event.
Mining Day 2016 will be May 7th 2016, again at the Big Little Science Centre, 655 Holt Street,from 10am – 3pm. We hope you will come and be a part of this fun day, as either a guest or as adisplay booth! Contact [email protected] if you would like to volunteer orhave a display!

Throughout the year, KEG sponsors many events for different organizations, groups andclasses. Here are a few of the educational events that took place:
$1000 - Travel to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum – Crystal Growth in Space$500 - Fraser River Gold Panning Championship
$1000 - SFU SEG Student Chapter$1000 - BC Heritage Fairs Society
Students design an experiment to explore the effects of microgravity. The Student SpaceflightExperiments Program (SSEP) launched the student project from McGowan Park Elementary inKamloops, BC created by Jordan Brown, Hunter Galbraith, Kieren O'Neil and Ryan Watson intospace on January 10th, 2015 after one dramatic explosion in an earlier launch in October. Thepurpose of the experiment was to observe the effect of microgravity on crystal growth. Thecrystals grown were barium thiosulfate formed by a precipitation reaction. Upon return of theexperiment to Earth, the boys confirmed their hypothesis that microgravity does affect crystalgrowth. The next step was the trip of a lifetime; presenting their findings at the SmithsonianAir and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. on July 2nd, 2015. It has been an incredible journey!

To date, nearly $30,000 has been donated to the Ronald C. Wells Geological Education Fund. Thefund is set up as a permanent endowment with the Kamloops Foundation, a public charitablefoundation. Investments will be managed by the foundation and income from the endowmentwill support annual scholarships or other educational awards. The awards will be chosen by athree-person committee consisting of two KEG members and one person appointed by Ron’sfamily.
The primary purpose of the fund will be to provide one or more scholarships for Canadianstudents attending 3rd or 4th year university geology classes in Canada. In the event there areno suitable candidates, the awards committee could also choose to provide funds to auniversity or college geology department(s) to support field trips, purchase equipment orteaching materials.
Scholarships Ken Daughtry Geoscience AwardThe sudden passing of geologist Ken Daughtry was a great loss toall his friends and colleagues at KEG. He was a loyal and enthusias-tic supporter of the organization and always had somethingvaluable to contribute. Ken, during his retirement, was still highlyactive in the geological community, research and a firm believer inpassing on knowledge to the new generation of geologists. It wasalways an easy task to get Ken to volunteer a talk or presentation,harder to get him to stop.

Recommended citation: Clarke, G., 2016. Exploration and Mining in British Columbia, 2015: A summary. In: Provincial Overview of Exploration and Mining in British Columbia, 2015. British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines, British Columbia Geological Survey, Information Circular 2016-1, pp. 1-26.
1. IntroductionRe ecting its complex geological history, British Columbia
is endowed with diverse minerals and deposit types. British Columbia is Canada’s largest exporter of coal, leading producer of copper, and only producer of molybdenum. Also produced are signi cant amounts of gold, silver, lead, and zinc, and over 30 industrial minerals including gypsum, magnesite, limestone, and dimension stone. Numerous quarries produce sand and gravel or crushed aggregate.
Despite decreased commodity prices and continued dif culties securing venture capital, mine development projects and numerous mineral exploration projects remained active in 2015 (Fig. 1).
Flanked by the Paci c Ocean, British Columbia offers easy access to global markets. Mine operations bene t from tax incentives and a well-developed infrastructure, including low-cost electricity, an integrated road and rail network, and large deep-water ports. Exploration bene ts from an extensive geoscience database, a web-based mineral tenure system, and investment incentives such as the British Columbia Mining Exploration Tax Credit and the British Columbia Mining Flow-Through Share Tax Credit.
This summary uses information from the British Columbia Coal Industry Overview (British Columbia Geological Survey Information Circular 2016-2) and incorporates reports, presented in this volume, from ve Regional Geologists. The Regional Geologists (Fig. 2; Table 1) represent the provincial government on geological matters at a regional level. Within their communities, they provide information on exploration trends, possible investment opportunities, land use processes, First Nation capacity building, and public outreach.
2. Mine productionThe Ministry of Energy and Mines estimates total value of
mine production for 2015 at $6.9 billion (Fig. 3), including coal, copper, industrial minerals, aggregate, gold, molybdenum, silver, zinc, and lead. This is close to the 2014 preliminary value reported by NRCAN of $7.0 billion (Fig. 4). For 2015, coal remained the highest value mine product from British Columbia, comprising about 44% of the total output, followed
by copper (about 35%). In 2015, 11 metal mines operated during at least part of the
year (Table 2) and coal was produced at ve large open pit operations in the southeastern part of the province and one underground mine on Vancouver Island (Table 3). About 30 industrial mineral mines and more than 1,000 aggregate mines/quarries were in operation. At the start of 2016, mine closures reduced the number of operating metal mines to seven and operating coal mines to ve.
3. Mining highlights3.1. Metal mines
Metal mines accounted for an estimated $3.02 billion of all mine production in 2015, representing about 44% of all mine production in the province (Table 2). Nine metal mines were in production at the start of 2015. This number dropped to eight by the end of the year, and to seven as of January 2016.
Imperial Metals Corporation’s Mount Polley mine resumed operations in August after a one-year shutdown due to a tailings pond dam breach in 2014. In June, Nystar N.V.’s Myra Falls base metal mine suspended operations, primarily due to low base-metal prices. Also in June, Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd.’s Bonanza Ledge mine operation went on care and maintenance as new management decided to assess the operation and carry out an exploration program to identify multiple high-grade gold deposits. In July, Banks Island Gold Ltd.’s, Yellow Giant gold was mine shut down due to regulatory compliance issues. Although Huckleberry Mines Ltd.’s Huckleberry Mine produced throughout 2015, in January 2016 it was announced that pit operations were to be shut down.
In the Skeena Region, Imperial Metals Corporation’s Red Chris copper-gold mine shipped their rst load of concentrate to Asia in April and commercial production was declared on July 1st. In the Omineca Region, ramp-up activities continued at Thomson Creek Metals Company Inc.’s Mt. Milligan mine (Fig. 5) as it completed its second full year of operations. By the end of November, average daily mill throughput reached 59,066 tonnes, essentially reaching a year-end target processing rate of 60,000 tonnes per day.

including rotating 3-week shutdowns during the summer. Hillsborough Resources Ltd.’s underground operation shut down for several weeks over the summer. Although production resumed in August, operations were suspended inde nitely in early January 2016. Shutdowns were due to an oversupply in coal and steel markets that caused global prices to fall for the third straight year. Premium hard coking coal dropped to $89 from $121 in 2014, pulverized coal injection coal to $73 from $107, and thermal coal to $64 from $82 (all prices are per tonne, in $US, estimated, West Coast port price).
3.3. Industrial minerals, aggregates, and jadeAbout 30 industrial mineral mines and over 1000 aggregate
operations are active in British Columbia. Selected operations are listed in Table 4. With estimated production gures for industrial minerals of $435 million (6% of total mineral production) and for aggregates of $364 million (5% of total mineral production), these operations are important to the economy of the province. British Columbia produces the world’s best quality nephrite jade, with demand close to a few hundred tonnes per year.
In the Skeena Region, Highbank Resources Ltd. began operations at their new Swamp Point North aggregate mine, 51 km south of Stewart. In the Northeast Region, Fireside Minerals Ltd. nished mining of its Bear pit. Overburden pre-stripping prepared the Moose Pit at the Fireside barite mine for mining in 2016. In the Kootenay-Boundary Region, Heemskirk Canada Limited continued with redeveloping their Moberly Silica operation. In addition to producing high quality silica sand for industrial applications they plan to produce frac sand. Commissioning of a new plant capable of processing up to
300,000 tonnes per year is expected by late 2016 or early 2017. Frac sand will comprise 64% of production.
In the South and West Coast regions, a number of operations remained in steady production and continue to be a major employer.
4. Mine development projectsAs used herein, the term ‘mine development projects’ refers to
those where the decision to produce has been made, necessary permits have been acquired, nancing has been secured, and on-site construction has started. Both 2015 mine development projects are in the Skeena Region (Table 5).
Pretium Resources Inc.’s Brucejack high-grade gold project was permitted, and an initial $540 M (US) tranche of construction nancing was secured. Mine site construction is underway and operations are scheduled to start up in 2017. In June, JDS Silver received their Mines Act Permit to mill up to 75,000 tonnes per year from their underground Silvertip, silver-lead-zinc deposit. In 2015, the company refurbished access to the site. Mill and camp facility construction is planned for 2016; operations are projected to start up in the fall of 2016.
5. Selected proposed mine projectsProjects at the proposed mine (or mine evaluation) stage have
a resource de ned or largely de ned and are at least preparing to submit a project description to initiate the environmental assessment process, or are waiting on permit amendments. Projects that have permits in place but have yet to obtain nancing to begin site construction are also considered to be at the proposed stage. Selected projects (Table 6) discussed below are grouped by region.
5.1. Skeena Region 5.1.1. Proposed metal mines
The Skeena Region was the most active in the province, with a number of high-pro le projects.
Metal Mountain Resources Inc. and subsidiary Gavin Mines Inc. partnered with Grace Mining Inc. to work towards restarting the historic Dome Mountain gold and silver mine. An amended mines act permit is required to allow on site milling and tailings disposal. The Galore Creek copper-gold-silver project is owned by the Galore Creek Partnership, in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Novagold Resources Inc. and Teck Resources Ltd. are equal partners. In 2015, work was limited to baseline monitoring and targeted engineering studies.
Alloycorp Mining Inc.’s past producing Kitsault molybdenum-silver mine is fully permitted but requires project nancing. In 2015, Alloycorp completed pre construction earthworks for a new mill site, upgraded a critical bridge access, and increased camp capacity to house several hundred construction workers.
Seabridge Gold Inc. continued work on their fully permitted KSM copper-gold porphyry deposit. Drilling at depth intersected higher average grades than the presently de ned 2.16 billion tonnes of Reserves. Highlights include 483 m

including rotating 3-week shutdowns during the summer. Hillsborough Resources Ltd.’s underground operation shut down for several weeks over the summer. Although production resumed in August, operations were suspended inde nitely in early January 2016. Shutdowns were due to an oversupply in coal and steel markets that caused global prices to fall for the third straight year. Premium hard coking coal dropped to $89 from $121 in 2014, pulverized coal injection coal to $73 from $107, and thermal coal to $64 from $82 (all prices are per tonne, in $US, estimated, West Coast port price).
3.3. Industrial minerals, aggregates, and jadeAbout 30 industrial mineral mines and over 1000 aggregate
operations are active in British Columbia. Selected operations are listed in Table 4. With estimated production gures for industrial minerals of $435 million (6% of total mineral production) and for aggregates of $364 million (5% of total mineral production), these operations are important to the economy of the province. British Columbia produces the world’s best quality nephrite jade, with demand close to a few hundred tonnes per year.
In the Skeena Region, Highbank Resources Ltd. began operations at their new Swamp Point North aggregate mine, 51 km south of Stewart. In the Northeast Region, Fireside Minerals Ltd. nished mining of its Bear pit. Overburden pre-stripping prepared the Moose Pit at the Fireside barite mine for mining in 2016. In the Kootenay-Boundary Region, Heemskirk Canada Limited continued with redeveloping their Moberly Silica operation. In addition to producing high quality silica sand for industrial applications they plan to produce frac sand. Commissioning of a new plant capable of processing up to
300,000 tonnes per year is expected by late 2016 or early 2017. Frac sand will comprise 64% of production.
In the South and West Coast regions, a number of operations remained in steady production and continue to be a major employer.
4. Mine development projectsAs used herein, the term ‘mine development projects’ refers to
those where the decision to produce has been made, necessary permits have been acquired, nancing has been secured, and on-site construction has started. Both 2015 mine development projects are in the Skeena Region (Table 5).
Pretium Resources Inc.’s Brucejack high-grade gold project was permitted, and an initial $540 M (US) tranche of construction nancing was secured. Mine site construction is underway and operations are scheduled to start up in 2017. In June, JDS Silver received their Mines Act Permit to mill up to 75,000 tonnes per year from their underground Silvertip, silver-lead-zinc deposit. In 2015, the company refurbished access to the site. Mill and camp facility construction is planned for 2016; operations are projected to start up in the fall of 2016.
5. Selected proposed mine projectsProjects at the proposed mine (or mine evaluation) stage have
a resource de ned or largely de ned and are at least preparing to submit a project description to initiate the environmental assessment process, or are waiting on permit amendments. Projects that have permits in place but have yet to obtain nancing to begin site construction are also considered to be at the proposed stage. Selected projects (Table 6) discussed below are grouped by region.
5.1. Skeena Region 5.1.1. Proposed metal mines
The Skeena Region was the most active in the province, with a number of high-pro le projects.
Metal Mountain Resources Inc. and subsidiary Gavin Mines Inc. partnered with Grace Mining Inc. to work towards restarting the historic Dome Mountain gold and silver mine. An amended mines act permit is required to allow on site milling and tailings disposal. The Galore Creek copper-gold-silver project is owned by the Galore Creek Partnership, in which a wholly owned subsidiary of Novagold Resources Inc. and Teck Resources Ltd. are equal partners. In 2015, work was limited to baseline monitoring and targeted engineering studies.
Alloycorp Mining Inc.’s past producing Kitsault molybdenum-silver mine is fully permitted but requires project nancing. In 2015, Alloycorp completed pre construction earthworks for a new mill site, upgraded a critical bridge access, and increased camp capacity to house several hundred construction workers.
Seabridge Gold Inc. continued work on their fully permitted KSM copper-gold porphyry deposit. Drilling at depth intersected higher average grades than the presently de ned 2.16 billion tonnes of Reserves. Highlights include 483 m

In 2015, the British Columbia Environment Minister announced that the environmental assessment certi cate for Chieftain Metals Corp.’s Tulsequah Chief zinc-copper-gold massive sulphide project would remain in effect for the life of the project. A pre-production expenditure of $198 million was announced by Chieftain, and the company is seeking nancing.
5.2. Omineca Region5.2.1. Proposed metal mines
Taseko Mines Limited and subsidiary Aley Corporation Limited continued to gather environmental baseline data at
their Aley niobium project, and carried out engineering and metallurgical test work to verify and improve results of a 2014 feasibility study. An open-pit mine with a 10,000 tonnes per day processing plant and ferroniobium convertor is proposed. Average annual production over the 24 year mine life would be about 9,000 tonnes niobium in the form of ferroniobium (annual production of about 14,000 tonnes FeNb).
At New Gold Inc.’s Blackwater gold and silver project, engineering and environmental studies continued, including a tailings alternatives assessment, in support of their Environmental Assessment which remained in the screening stage at the end of the pre-application phase. The project is proposed as an open-pit mining operation with a 60,000 tonnes

per day processing plant and a mine life of 17 years. AuRico Metals Inc. continued to advance its proposed
Kemess Underground (KUG) block cave mine through a Substituted (federally and provincially harmonized) Environmental Assessment and worked on an updated feasibility study. Geotechnical diamond and auger drilling was undertaken on key infrastructure areas, including the proposed triple decline portal, short tunnel portal and conveyor areas. Test pitting was completed to determine geotechnical and substrate characteristics. The underground block cave operation would use processing facilities and infrastructure at the former Kemess South mine. A proposed average milling rate of 24,650 tonnes per day would have an annual production of 3,266 kg (105,000 ounces) of Au and 19,958 t (44 million pounds) of Cu, over a mine life of 12 years.
5.2.2. Proposed industrial mineral minesAt their Giscome limestone property, Graymont Western
Canada Inc. continued engineering and environmental studies in support of an Environmental Assessment draft application and nal lime plant and quarry designs. A 1,000 tonne bulk limestone sample was collected for crushing and kilning tests. Graymont proposes a 600,000 tonnes per year limestone quarry that would feed a vertical lime kiln 198,000 tonnes annually over a minimum 50 year mine life.
5.3. Northeast Region5.3.1. Proposed coal mines
In 2015, HD Mining continued work on their Murray River project. Engineering and environmental studies in support of their Environmental Assessment continued, and work progressed on a decline to collect an underground bulk coal sample. Exploration drilling from the face of the decline was undertaken to further delineate seam geometry and establish coal characteristics. An 11-hole surface drilling program
was also completed for additional coal resource data and to characterize deep-level groundwater. Coal quality results of the bulk sample will determine if the project is viable. The proposed underground longwall mining operation would have a production rate of 4.8 Mt of saleable coal per year over a 25 year mine life. In October, an Environmental Assessment certi cate for the project was issued.
Engineering and environmental studies continued for the Sukunka project of Glencore plc (75% interest) and JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation (25% interest). An open-pit mining operation with initial production of 1.5-2.5 Mt of saleable metallurgical coal per year is proposed. Addition of a room-and-pillar underground mining component in a future mine plan would increase production to 6 Mt per year. Mine life is expected to exceed 20 years. A substituted Environmental Assessment application for the project was accepted for review in August.
5.3.2. Proposed industrial mineral mines
At the Wapiti East phosphate project, Fertoz International Inc. upgraded their JORC resource estimate and completed a scoping study for mining of a surface resource. A seasonal (May-October) shallow open-pit mine with a mine life of greater than 20 years, is proposed. Planned production is up to 75,000 tonnes per year of phosphate-bearing rock. A Mines Act permit application for the project was submitted in late 2014.
5.4. Kootenay-Boundary Region5.4.1. Proposed metal mines
Purcell Basin Minerals Inc. is working to restart the Gallowai Bul River base and precious metal mine, which has been on care and maintenance since 2009. The property has existing infrastructure, including a 750 tonnes per day conventional mill, assay and metallurgical laboratories, tailings impoundment, waste dumps, and two open pits. Completing environmental baseline work and updating mine plans, the company is working towards ful lling requirements for permit application.
Klondike Silver Corp’s Slocan Silver, silver-lead, zinc project consists of several past-producing deposits. In 2015, the company focused on environmental work, and engineering upgrades to the tailings facility and underground structures.
5.4.2. Proposed coal minesCentermount Coal Ltd. proposes an open pit and underground
coal mine for its Bingay Creek property. Work in 2015 consisted of engineering, a geological review, and environmental baseline studies. Exploration drilling is planned for 2016. The project is in the pre-application stage of Environmental Assessment. If the proposed mine goes into production it would produce 2 Mt of coal annually, and have a mine life of 20 years, with a total resource of about 39 Mt of clean coal.
CrowsNest Pass Coal Mining Ltd. continued environmental baseline studies, geological modeling, engineering review, resource, and pre-feasibility work on their Coal Creek property.

Due to low coal prices, Teck Coal Limited. withdrew from the pre-application phase of Environmental Assessment for their Coal Mountain Phase II (Marten Wheeler) project. The project was designed to replace production at the Coal Mountain mine, which is now scheduled to shut down in 2017.
At the Crown Mountain property of NWP Coal Canada Ltd., (a wholly owned subsidiary of Jameson Resources Ltd.) baseline environmental studies were carried out. The project is in the pre-application stage of Environmental Assessment, and the proposed project would have a production capacity of 1.7 Mt per year of clean coal and a 16-year mine life.
CanAus Coal Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of CoalMont Pty Ltd., carried out drilling and collected a bulk sample for carbonization test work on their Michel Creek project. The project consists of the Loop Ridge, Tent Mountain and Michel Head deposits; work was concentrated at Loop Ridge. In October, the company entered the pre-application phase of Environmental Assessment, proposing to mine the Loop Ridge deposit. The project has a proposed production rate of 3.5 Mt per year (2.1 Mt per year clean coal), over a 10 year mine life. Future potential mine expansion to their other areas (Tent Mountain and Michel Head) could extend the project by 10 years.
5.4.3. Proposed industrial mineral minesAt the Driftwood Magnesite property, MGX Minerals
Inc. drilled (West zone) and bulk sampled (East zone) in 2015. The bulk sample will be used for further metallurgical testing and to evaluate processing options. The company is completing a NI 43-101 compliant resource. Test work was conducted to develop an optimized process design to remove silica and improve economic cut-off grades. They have applied for a mining lease for quarry operations, are conducting environmental baseline studies, and are evaluating mine designs.
CertainTeed Gypsum Canada Inc. continued to advance the proposed Kootenay West Mine, which entered the pre-application stages of Environmental Assessment in 2014. In 2015, the company focused on environmental work and mine design. They hope to begin site preparation in 2016, with a projected start-up in 2018. The proposed mine would have an average production rate of 400,000 tonnes per year, over a 42-year mine life, producing a blended product of 83-85% gypsum.
5.5. Thompson-Okanagan-Cariboo Region5.5.1. Proposed metal mines
KGHM Ajax Mining Inc. continued engineering and baseline studies to advance their Ajax porphyry copper-gold project, a proposed 60,000 tonne-per-day open-pit operation with a projected 20 year life. In September 2015, the company submitted their application to the Environmental Assessment Of ce and Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. Although the application was accepted, the company announced that it would suspend the process to allow First Nation partners
more time to study the submission. The Harper Creek copper-gold-silver project is owned by
Yellowhead Mining Inc. In June 2015, the company requested an extension to their previously submitted application for an Environmental Assessment certi cate to incorporate recommendations arising from the Mount Polley tailings spill in 2014. In October 2015, the company suspended work on the project due to a lack of funds. At year end, the company announced it is seeking nancing to complete the environmental review. The project has Proven and Probable mineral reserves of 716 Mt grading 0.26% Cu; 0.029 g/t Au and 1.2 g/t Ag. The proposed mine would be a 70,000 tonnes per day operation, with a mine life of 28 years. Initial capital costs would exceed $1 billion.
The New Prosperity gold-copper porphyry project of Taseko Mines Limited has de ned Proven and Probable reserves of 830 Mt grading 0.42 g/t Au and 0.23% Cu. Taseko continues to seek a judicial review of the February 2014 Federal decision to reject the project. British Columbia granted Taseko a project certi cate in November 2013, and has extended the expiry date of the certi cate by ve years.
Ruddock Creek Mining Corporation (Imperial Metals Corporation (50%) and joint venture partners Mitsui Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd. (30%) and Itochu Corporation (20%), carried out environmental baseline studies at its Ruddock Creek zinc-lead project. A mineral resource estimate reports 4.65 Mt grading 6.77% Zn and 1.38% Pb (Indicated) and 5.38 Mt grading 6.69% Zn and 1.31% Pb (Inferred), using a 4.0% combined Pb+Zn cut-off.
Spanish Mountain Gold Ltd. continued to carry out baseline environmental studies at its Spanish Mountain gold project as the company prepares for formal environmental review. As of April 2014, Measured and Indicated resources (using a cut-off grade of 2 g/t Au) are 237.8 Mt grading 0.46 g/t Au and 0.69 g/t Ag.
5.6. South Coast Region5.6.1. Proposed industrial mineral mines
BURNCO Rock Products Ltd. submitted its application for Environmental Assessment with both provincial and federal agencies for the BURNCO Aggregate project. The proposed sand and gravel mine would ramp up to a 1.5 Mt per year operation, initially barging product to BURNCO Rock Products Ltd.’s ready-mix concrete plants in South Burnaby and Port Kells.
5.7. West Coast Region5.7.1. Proposed coal mines
Compliance Energy Corporation withdrew the Raven Underground Coal Project’s application from the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Of ce screening process in March. Raven is a proposed mine south of Comox on Vancouver Island. As contemplated in a 2011 feasibility study, the main product would be a semi soft coking coal with a thermal by-product. Production would be approximately

830,000 tonnes of clean coal per year, over 16 years. Compliance’s original partners, LG International Investments (Canada) Ltd. and Itochu Corporation, have withdrawn from the project. Compliance has not indicated plans for Raven but has expressed doubt that the Environmental Assessment Of ce would certify the project. It remains in pre-application status.
6. Exploration expendituresTotal metal, aggregate, industrial mineral and coal exploration
expenditures are estimated at $272 million for 2015, down $66 million from the 2014 total of $338 million. Of this, $69 million was contributed by coal projects and $203 million by metal, aggregate, and industrial mineral projects (Fig. 8). For many companies, lower commodity prices and a depressed equity market led to reduced exploration. Exploration expenditures can be further divided into ve categories: grassroots, early stage, advanced stage, mine evaluation, and mine lease (Fig. 9). Along with reduced total expenditures, dif culty in raising venture capital for new projects resulted in grassroots and early stage exploration only representing 15% of total expenditures.
7. Exploration land tenureAcquisition of new mineral claims in 2015 was comparable
to 2014 (Fig. 10). The total for 2015 was 930,981 hectares vs. 942,181 hectares for the previous year. New coal license applications in 2015 totalled 70,806 hectares, down slightly from the 2014 total of 75,972 hectares. This continues a downward
trend. In 2013, applications totalled 197,681 hectares, and in 2012 lease applications totaled a record 710,368 hectares (Fig. 11).
8. Selected exploration project highlightsAlthough exploration slowed in 2015, explorationists
continued to discover, de ne, and expand porphyry and porphyry-related copper-gold and copper-molybdenum deposits, gold deposits of various types, and stratiform base-metal, specialty metals, industrial minerals, and coal deposits. Below, selected exploration projects are grouped by project type and region (Table 7). A more comprehensive list of selected exploration projects active in 2015 are described in the individual Regional Geologist sections of this volume.
8.1. Precious metal projects8.1.1. Skeena Region
Pretium Resources Inc. carried out a 20,000 m drilling program on exploration targets that form their Brucejack Regional project. The targets are separate from their de ned Valley of the Kings deposit, which is scheduled to go into mine production in 2017. Targets tested within two km from the deposit are collectively referred to as the Brucejack Area targets, and the most signi cant results were returned from the Flow Dome prospect. The Flow Dome zone returned intersections including 2,100 g/t Au uncut over 2.05 m, including 8,600 g/t Au uncut over 0.50 m; and 137 g/t Au over 0.50 m.

on their Col-Later project with 2,000 m of drilling. Assay results have not been made public.
In 2015, AuRico Metals Inc. carried out a 15 hole, 27,000 m diamond drill program on their Kemess East project. The project includes the de ned Kemess East deposit, which consists of two structurally offset zones, the Kemess Offset Zone and the Kemess East Zone. The program further delineated and expanded the known mineralization of the Kemess East deposit. Mineralization remains open in three directions in both zones. The Orion and South Dam targets were tested in a nine-hole y drill program, but no signi cant values were returned. Grassroots work included rock sampling, mapping, and prospecting over these target areas.
Kiska Metal Corporation’s Kliyul property (Fig. 12) is under option to Teck Resources Ltd. In 2015, a four-hole drilling program extended known mineralization. Drilling highlight results include 245.0 m of 0.18% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au and162.4 m of 0.20% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au.
In 2015, Thompson Creek Metals Company Ltd. began a multi-year drilling program on their North Grid target area about 5 km northwest of the Mt. Milligan mine lease. Geophysical and geochemical targets were tested by ve drillholes. Results are pending.
5,028 m drill program in the fall of 2015. Highlights include 592 m of 0.44% CuEQ of 0.30% Cu, 0.032% Mo and 2.1 g/t Ag. Copper equivalent (CuEQ) calculations used metal prices of Cu US$2.25/lb, Mo US$8.00/lb and Ag US$17.00/oz. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%.
GWR Resources Inc. carried out a prospecting and diamond drill program on its Lac La Hache copper-gold-silver project. Drilling targeted the Aurizon-South breccia zone and was designed to test continuity of known mineralization and assess the potential for underground mining. Drilling highlights include 12.40 g/t Au over two m and 11.67 g/t Au over 5 m. The prospecting program resulted in the discovery of the Berkey prospect, where chip sampling returned 0.45% Cu over 2.4 m.
8.2.6. South Coast RegionCarube Copper Corp. carried out an IP survey at its Rogers
Creek porphyry copper project north of Harrison Lake. Survey results include a chargeability anomaly that may represent a new target, as previous drilling intersected anomalous Cu-Mo-Ag mineralization at the edge of the anomaly.

9. Publically funded geoscience9.1.The British Columbia Geological Survey
Established in 1895, the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) links government, the minerals industry, and British Columbians to the province’s geology and mineral resources. The key roles of the Survey are to: 1) create, maintain, and deliver geoscience knowledge to lead informed decision making; 2) attract exploration for new mineral and coal resources; 3) act as the public steward of mineral and coal resources; and 4) guide public policy by providing assessments on mineral exploration and mining activities. The activities of the Survey and its geoscience products are pro led annually at the AMEBC’s Mineral Exploration Roundup in Vancouver, and at regional, national, and international geoscience conferences.
Headquartered in Victoria, the BCGS is a branch in the Mines and Mineral Resources Division of the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The Cordilleran Geoscience Section is responsible for generating new geoscience knowledge, largely through eld-based studies and surveys. The Resource Information Section maintains and develops the provincial geoscience databases and disseminates geoscience data online. The Section is also responsible for evaluating, approving, and archiving mineral and coal exploration assessment reports led by the exploration and mining industry. From a satellite of ce in Vancouver, the Mineral Development Of ce links the province’s mineral and coal resources to the investment community, distributes and promotes BCGS technical data, and coordinates the technical outputs of the Regional Geologists Program.
The BCGS remains committed to producing geoscience data and knowledge that stimulate exploration activity and attract investment. The Survey strives to be a leader in public government geoscience, providing information to all stakeholders and communities through reports, maps, and databases, which can be freely accessed online.
The Survey supports the minerals industry through the projects that it undertakes. Projects in 2015 focused on porphyry initiatives, deposit studies, exploration methods development, and regional synthesis and map compilation. Projects in the Nicola arc (Quesnel terrane) focused on mapping and establishing a stratigraphic and geochronologic framework

between Merritt and Likely to better understand the proli c porphyry deposits in the region. In northwest British Columbia, mapping in Stikine terrane, also with an exceptional porphyry mineral endowment, was in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) through the second iteration of Geo-mapping for Energy and Mineral program (GEM 2). In recent years the BCGS has expanded and developed new mineral exploration methods. An important theme in 2015 studies was porphyry indicator minerals (PIMs) as an exploration tool. A new BCGS partnership with the Canadian Mining Innovation Council (CMIC), investigated PIMs in till from Highland Valley, continuing the work that was completed at Gibraltar, Mount Polly, and Woodjam by the BCGS and the GSC under the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-4) program. Another exploration method project, completed in partnership with the University of Victoria, used trace elements in apatite to discriminate major mineral deposit types. This method was eld tested on detrital apatite in till from the Woodjam project. The results of these projects and others were presented at the fall BCGS Open House held jointly with a two-day strategic and critical materials symposium that delivered the nal results of the TGI-4 Specialty Metals project and served as the launch point for further studies. Survey projects are published annually in Geological Fieldwork (Fig. 14) and in publications by partners including Current Research (GSC), and Summary of Field Activities (Geoscience BC).
The BCGS continues to update its databases, including MINFILE, COALFILE, Property File, the Assessment Reports Indexing System (ARIS), and regional geochemical surveys through MapPlace. Since 1995, MapPlace, has provided open geoscience data and custom map-making tools to help assess the mineral potential of British Columbia, assist exploration, and guide investment decisions. Through MapPlace, BCGS databases talk to each other. The next generation of MapPlace, (MapPlace 2), scheduled for release in 2016, is capable of accessing queried BCGS databases to display province-wide maps within seconds. The BC Digital Geology map, using a unique geospatial data model, remains a Survey priority with frequent updates. The Survey has updated the Regional Geochemical Survey (RGS) database and is modernizing the provincial lithogeochemical database. The BCGS’s provincial rock and pulp archive, which hosts over 600,000 samples and is valued at more than $20 million, was relocated to a new storage facility on Belleville Street in Victoria.
9.2. The Geological Survey of CanadaThe BCGS and the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC)
continue to collaborate on large and small geoscience projects. In the Kootenays, the Geological Survey of Canada is conducting a multi-year project for SEDEX-style and related base metal mineralization, as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-4). The focus of the project is to generate a regional 3D geoscience model of the Purcell Anticlinorium and the Belt-Purcell Supergroup, which hosts the historic Sullivan Mine. Geological, geophysical, and geochemical data are being
compiled to generate new perspectives on ore controls for SEDEX targeting.
In 2013, the second phase of the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program (GEM-2) was announced. The program will run until 2020 and the BCGS is participating in the Cordilleran Regional project that is a collaborative effort between the geological surveys of Yukon, Alaska, British Columbia and the Canadian government. Multidisciplinary eld-based studies in poorly understood areas will focus on bedrock geology, crustal architecture, Cordilleran tectonics, and metallogeny to help drive the discovery of new mineral deposits and increase known resources. In addition, sur cial geology and glacial history studies will provide vital knowledge for mineral exploration in covered regions.
9.3. Geoscience BC Geoscience BC is a not-for pro t, non-governmental,
geoscience organization established in 2005 with grants from the provincial government. Geoscience BC is industry-focused, with a board of directors and technical advisors largely drawn from industry. It is mandated to promote mineral, oil and gas, and geothermal exploration in British Columbia by generating and distributing geoscience data. Open and targeted requests for proposals generate many of the large geoscience projects and
