Abstract
This aggregate potential map is based on a compilation of published
bedrock geology maps and the technical data collected for Economic Geology
Series ME 2001-1, Overview of Bedrock Aggregate Potential in the
Halifax-Dartmouth Metropolitan Area, Nova Scotia, by G. Prime. Only those
rock types capable of producing high quality stone products are identified
as having resource potential.
The bedrock aggregate resource potential for the Metro area consists of
quartzite and granitic rocks which have been divided into three generalized
lithological/textural categories. They are not ranked in terms of aggregate
quality on the map because of the geological complexity of the region and
the variability in characteristics that can be expected within any grouping.
The findings of this study indicate that the bedrock aggregate potential
within a category can vary from good to unacceptable for construction aggregate,
depending on the geotechnical properties of the stone at any given location.
