Abstract
This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative Project (Phase 1) from 2000-2003. The data was used to create Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Open File Map 2010-6, Bedrock Geology Map of the Port Hawkesbury Area, Part of NTS Sheets 11F/06, 11F/07, 11F/10, 11F/11 and 11F/15, Inverness, Richmond, Guysborough and Antigonish Counties, Nova Scotia, compiled by P. S. Giles, R. D. Naylor, P. J. Ténière, C. E. White, S. M. Barr, G. DeMont and E. R. Force, 2010. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The original digital data was compiled primarily from field work done during the course of the project and then placed on a draft map created by Peter Giles at the GSC. The data contained on this map was used to create the digital product. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: age dates, drillholes, mineral occurrences, outcrops, petroleum wells, quarries, shafts, spore sample locations, and structural data.
