| Summary: | The recent development of rich iron ore deposits in the heart of the Labrador-Ungava peninsula, with the subsequent construction of a 350 mi. railway connecting the deposits to the St. Lawrence River, has opened the door to the exploration of a vast region rich in indications of iron and base metal mineralization. Systematic exploration of this hitherto inaccessible territory has revealed that potentially economic concentrations of iron, copper and nickel lie within the “Labrador Trough”, a belt of ancient, more or less deformed sediments, which stretches at least five hundred miles from Menihek Lake in the south, northwestward to Payne Bay.
