The object of this paper is a study of the geology and the commercial occurrence of gold on the Scotia Gold Property, number two. This study is based in part on field observations which the writer made during the summer 1937 under the auspices of the Canadian Geological Survey, and in part on laboratory investigations which are based on the study of both, the thin sections of rock and the polished opaque sections of the ore. The property or the company described in this report is situated in southeastern Manitoba, in the Rice Lake Mining Area, approximately 150 miles northeast of the city of Winnipeg and within ten miles of the Ontario-Manitoba boundary and in the Long-Lake-Beresford-Lake section. The group of claims comprising this gold prospect is located in Township 22, Range 16. East of the Principal Meridian, as shown in the index map (figure 1). The surrounding formations and including those found on the property are known as the gold-bearing quartz veins of the Beresford-Rice lakes area lying in the basins of the Manigotogan and Wanipigow rivers. This complex belt or sediments and volcanics is Pre-Cambrian in age and varies in width from two to ten miles and about fifty miles long. The rock formations immediately surrounding this greenstone belt are deep seated granite intrusives and in some places, have penetrated the basic complex and are now exposed as large granite bodies. / Master of Science
