This report is based on the Field Work carried out by the writer during the summer of 1957, and on subsequent laboratory investigations at McGill University during the ensuing winter. The map-area forms part of the concessions in Labrador held by the Iron Ore Company of Canada. The area mapped lies within the "Labrador Trough” which oonta1ns a folded and faulted assemblage of Precambrian sedimentary series intruded by volcanic and plutonic igneous rocks. The first part of this report deals with the general character of the country and the Regional Geology. The second part is a detailed study of the Kaniapiskan (Huronian System) of upper Precambrian, west of Wabush Lake, with emphasis on the iron formation and the iron ore deposits in it.
