Parksville AreaKey Points• Diverse Geology

• 3 Sedimentary• 1 Volcanic • 3 Intrusive

• Varied & Early Stage Mineral Occurrences• 2 Syngenetic – 2 Types• 11 Epigenetic – 3 Types

Key Points in General1. Geology generalized but very useful2. Aeromagnetics suggests underlying geology3. BC MINFILE occurrence location data generally poor4. BC Mineral Deposit Profile assignments may be incorrect5. BC ARIS data must be reviewed for each MINFILE
