The geology of Timiskaming County, Quebec is explored through detailed notes on molybdenite-bearing veins and related deposits.

This edition presents observed ore textures, mineral associations, and notable outcrops that accompany early 20th-century mining descriptions.

Readers will encounter descriptions of pegmatite and quartz-vein systems, the minerals found with molybdenite, and early prospecting work. The material includes field observations from the Height of Land Mining Company area near Kewagama lake and nearby claims with cross-cutting relations to granite batholiths and surrounding schists. It also references assay results and historical prospecting methods tied to regional mining activity.

Mineral assemblages associated with molybdenite, including muscovite, bismuthinite, fluorite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, and feldspar.
Vein and pegmatite textures, widths, and the geometric relationship to granitic contacts.
Descriptions of specific mining properties, shafts, drifts, and surface prospecting work from early explorations.
Occasional assay data and notes on ore concentration and mineral content in sampled veins.

Ideal for readers interested in historical mining descriptions, regional geology, and early mineral exploration in northern Quebec.
