British Columbia has seen a significant increase in exploration spending over the last few years with over $415 million spent on exploration in 2007 (up from a mere $25 million in 1999). BC’s share of exploration spending in Canada has increased from 5.7% in 2001 to over 16% in 2007. This increased exploration investment has resulted in new discoveries, and renewed exploration and development activity on a number of known occurrences and deposits. Overviews of a number of BC exploration programs and advanced development projects will be profiled in this session. A particular focus will be placed on the exploration and development of copper, gold, and molybdenum porphyry deposits.
