8. BIBLIOGRAPHY(*) (C09)
The MINFILE bibliography is intended to identify all significant references for a deposit. References may be
typed or use 'copy and paste' to input text into this field. In general, references are to be quoted in
summary format, identifying publication, year and page. References of particular value in identifying or
describing a deposit should be marked with an asterisk (*).
Standard referencing techniques should be used for publications or references which are not included in the
list of abbreviations below or which do not fit in a summary format. When listing the appropriate references,
the coding geologist should attempt to list them in the same order as outlined in the listing of abbreviated
codes. If more than one line is required for a reference or list of similar references, then indent the second
line and subsequent lines by 3 characters.
Example of a standard reference:
Price, R.A. (1962): Fernie Map-area, East Half, Alberta and British
Columbia, Geological Survey of Canada, Paper 61-24.
The corresponding MINFILE abbreviated reference is:
"GSC P 61-24"
"Property File" alone is not identified as a reference. The specific document used should be identified as the
reference source and should be listed under the heading of "EMPR PF" which indicates that this item is
found within the Ministry's Property File
(http://www.empr.gov.bc.ca/Mining/Geoscience/PropertyFile/Pages/default.aspx)
Each item in the list is separated by a semicolon. For example:
EMPR PF (Total Energold Ltd., Annual Report, 1989; Cassiar
Mining Corp., maps and notes, 1987).
The following formats should be followed in coding references:
