Review of till geochemistry and indicator mineral methods for mineral exploration in glaciated terrain
Appendix 5-Photo 1. Photograph of mountainous terrain in Fraser Plateau of south-central British Columbia, in western Canada. In this type of terrain, till can be sampled at higher elevations from thin till veneers (Tv) and thicker till blankets (Tb) on valley walls and from thick sediment sequences...
