“…The main objective of developing the regional-scale Purcell 3D model was to provide a wider spatial perspective of the structural and stratigraphic geology of the subsurface focusing on the SEDEX hosting horizon in the East Kootney region. Building on a major synthesis volume of the Sullivan Mine (Lydon et al, 2000a) and regional geologic compilations including a 1:250,000 scale effort (Höy et al, 1995), a 2D GIS geoscience data compilation (nine Open File 1:50,000 scale geology maps covering NTS 82F01 , 02, 07, 08, 09, 10, 15, 16, 82G04, 05, 12, 13), (Brown et al, 2011;Joseph et al, 2011aJoseph et al, , 2011b, a reprocessed seismic compilation (Cook and Van der Velden, 1995), and using British Columbia TRIM Digital Elevation Model for vertical control, an initial 3D data set was developed for the Purcell Anticlinorium. This was supplemented with inclusion of identified markers and 3D path calculation from information contained in regional legacy drillhole logs (for details, see Schetselaar et al, 2015).…”
