Summary "Preliminary Report on Gowganda Mining Division District of Nipissing Ontario" by W. H. Collins is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This report provides a detailed examination of the geological and economic conditions within the Gowganda region, focusing on the mineral resources found in the area following the discovery of silver-cobalt ores nearby. The text describes the geography, topography, and geology, while also discussing the potential for future mining operations. The opening of the report introduces the preliminary findings of the geological and topographical surveys conducted in the Gowganda Mining Division during the field season of 1908. It details the location, work undertaken, and the historical context of mining developments in the region, particularly in connection with silver discoveries. It outlines the characteristics of the Montreal River area, discussing geological formations like the Keewatin and Huronian and their economic significance, especially regarding the silver deposits interspersed with copper and iron ore. The section sets the stage for a comprehensive understanding of the area’s mineral exploration and its implications for future mining endeavors. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
