Data Description
  Abstract: This digital product is a digital version of Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Published Open File Map ME 2001-1, Map of Bedrock Aggregate Potential in the Halifax-Dartmouth Metropolitan Area, Nova Scotia, compiled by G. Prime of the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R), Mineral Resources Branch (MRB). The digital product consists of a .pdf file of the map containing information such as: bedrock aggregate potential, geological contacts, faults, drumlins, pits and quarries, gold districts, outcrops, abandoned mine working / shafts and other geological information.
  Purpose: The purpose of this data set is to create a digital version of Open File Map ME 2001-1. 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 purpose of this map is to help narrow the search when looking for a quarry site.
