Abstract
In the Mt. Cayley area of southwestern British Columbia, the multiple pole-pole resistivity method has yielded data in terrain conditions which precluded continued use of conventional survey arrays. An anomaly of potential geothermal significance has been found, providing an unambiguous explanation for earlier dipole-dipole array data, and outlining a specific target for further evaluation. In the course of achieving measurements in the extreme terrain, a data set of substantial depth and utility was obtained, leading to the development of logical and statistical interpretation tools which stand alone, and enhance existing modeling and interpretation methods.
