The final year of the Nechako NATMAP project to study the geology of central British Columbia was used to research information collected in the field & laboratory, and to compile & document the study results. This article includes a review of upcoming publications & other products, by type of product: maps, journal articles, conference presentations, and computer products, as well as ongoing research on petrology, palaeontology, terrane characterization, tectonics & structure, and Quaternary geology.

This report analyzes airborne gamma spectrometric data acquired over the Endako porphyry district in British Columbia in 1995, along with surface & lithogeochemical data, to assess their utility as an aid to geological mapping and mineral exploration. It begins with background on the geological setting, including surficial & bedrock geology. Results of analyses are then presented with regard to correlations between airborne & surficial mapping measurements, and the effects of various surficial features on measured airborne radioelement concentrations.
