Geoscience BC Releases new Analysis of the QUEST Geochemical Dataset, Z-TEM Data from Mt. Milligan and Preliminary QUEST Project Area Till Geochemistry
"... Geoscience BC is also pleased to announce the release of Geoscience BC Report 2009-7: "Helicopter-Borne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) and Aeromagnetic Geophysical Survey -- Mt. Milligan Test Block." The release includes a final report for the project, databases and grids, and maps in PDF format, all of which will be available from Geoscience BC's website. Z-TEM is a passive airborne electromagnetic system. It uses the natural time varying changes in the earth's magnetic field to detect conductors, map geology and explore for large poorly conductive features such as regional faults and porphyry copper deposits. Geoscience BC and Terrane Metals Corp partnered on the Z-TEM survey of the Mt Milligan property, which was flown at a 250 m line spacing by Geotech Ltd."

BENTON RESOURCES, ROYAL ROADS & GOLDEN DORY APPROVE 2009 PROGRAM FOR LONG RANGE NICKEL JOINT VENTURE, NEWFOUNDLAND – DRILL TARGETS IDENTIFIED
"... Among the targets selected for further work is a 600 metre long VTEM conductive anomaly described by Geotech Ltd. as “a relatively strong conductor consistent with massive sulphides”. This target has been selected for testing by diamond drilling, and it is anticipated that additional targets will be developed from results of the prospecting and ground geophysical surveys."
