data and in-depth analysis of rock property relationships. During the term of this project, publicaccess to RPDS data through Mira Geoscience's website was considerably improved through aseparate contract with the GSC.Approximately 881,064 physical property measurements from borehole wireline, borecore, andsurface sample data from across BC have been procured from both government and industrysources. This data has been entered into RPDS at Mira Geoscience, adding to the existingarchive of greater than 5 million rock property measurements. In addition to data archiving andmanagement capabilities, RPDS also provides value-added summary tables of populationstatistics for various rock types across geographic areas. The summary tables for BC are includedon the DVD provided with this report. In addition, all data in RPDS are currently publiclyavailable through an online web interface at: www.mirageoscience.com/rpds.A significant amount of work was required to bring all data to RPDS standards. The result was asignificant “in-kind” effort by Mira Geoscience and GSC staff that exceeded the budget of theproject. The project would not have been possible without combined funding from GeoscienceBC, Mira Geoscience, the Geological Survey of Canada, BHP Billiton, Terrane Metals and TeckCominco.The remainder of this document describes the specific project deliverables, a description of theproject datasets, a summary of the RPDS application including the generation of the statisticalsummary output tables, as well as a description of the digital files included on the DVD with thisreport.2
2. Project DeliverablesDeliverables provided throughout the duration of the project timeframe:1. Abstract and location map at project start (Oct. 2006)2. Progress report (Nov. 2006)3. Poster presentation at Roundup 2007 (Jan. 2007)4. Entry of all available data for BC into RPDS (Oct. 2006-Jan.2008) and availability of datathrough the web interface on the Mira Geoscience web server.Final deliverables are:5. A workshop during Roundup 2008 for geoscience and industry users on how to access, useand apply the database (Jan. 2008). The workshop outline (Appendix 1) and workshopproceedings are included on the DVD with this data release (Appendix 2).a. Demonstration of the database system (presented by Sharon Parsons).b. An application study on how to analyze the data and to apply it to a field problemin the Mt. Milligan area (UBC study - presented by Nigel Phillips and DianneMitchinson).6. A summary report formatted to Geoscience BC standards to be submitted as a report on fieldactivities (Nov. 2008).7. A final report in digital format including: original input data from all sources for BritishColumbia with ready access to metadata, and physical rock property data and its correlativegeology (this document and accompanying files).a. A copy of the original input data from all parties re-formatted and organized intoa manageable folder structure.b. Copies of various summary tables generated by RPDS in Microsoft Excel andAccess format. The summary tables include: (a) general information metadatatables describing the characteristics of the BC data and (b) statistical summarycompilations of the physical rock properties of all boreholes/samples.3
