The geology of the Nipissis River and Nipisso Lake map-areas.

The rocks of the two map-areas include paragneisses and acidic and basic intrusives. More than three-quarters of the rocks are of igneous origin; granitic types predominate. In the Nipissis River area granitic rocks are found west and north of the Nipissis and Nipisso Rivers, whereas basic intrusives are found east and south of the two rivers. A narrow band of paragneisses and migmatites separates the two main rock groups. Granitic rocks occupy the southern third, except for the southeast corner, and most of the northern quarter of the Nipisso Lake area.
