Abstract
This digital product is a compilation of geological data which
was collected as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative Project
(Phase 2) from 2003-2005. The data was used to create Nova Scotia
Department of Natural Resources (NSDNR) Open File Maps OFM ME 2005-118
and OFM ME 2005-119, compiled by R. D. Naylor, P. S. Giles and D.
C. Brisco, 2005. The digital product was created by the NSDNR, Mineral
Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The original digital data was compiled
in fieldlog databases during the project and was later converted
by MRB staff into ArcView format. The digital product contains layers
for geological features such as: anticlines/synclines, drillholes,
faults, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, mineral occurrences,
neatline, outcrops, reference outlines, aggregate samples, spore
samples and structural data.
This digital product was generated using funds provided under
the Natural Resources Canada and Nova Scotia Department of Natural
Resources joint project 'Mapping, Mineral and Energy Resource
Evaluation, Central Nova Scotia', part of Natural Resources Canada's
Targeted Geoscience Initiative (TGI-2) 2003-2005.
