New frontiers for exploration in glaciated terrain / R.C. Paulen and M.B. McClenaghan (editors).: M183-2/7374E-PDF

"This publication is a compilation of short papers that describe relatively new drift prospecting methods and concepts for mineral exploration for a broad range of commodities in glaciated terrain. These extended abstracts were originally prepared to accompany the “New Frontiers for Exploration in Glaciated Terrain” workshop that was held March 1st, 2013 for the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) in conjunction with the PDAC 2013 International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange – Mining Investment Show (March 3-6, 2013). This workshop was organized by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and funded by the GSC’s Geomappingfor Energy and Minerals Program (GEM 2008-2013) through the Tri-Territorial Indicator Mineral Project. The authors represent a wide range of specialties and are some of the most experienced researchers or practitioners in the field of drift prospecting and surficial geochemistry in glaciated terrain. They come from government, academia, and industry. The original extended abstracts have undergone review and editing by the Geological Survey of Canada”--Foreward, p. ii.
