Geology was compiled by R. C. Boehner and C. M. Kennedy from maps in reference list (mainly those by R. G. Moore, S. A. Ferguson and L. J. Ham). Minor changes were made to geological boundaries and faults.
Additional geological interpretation and revisions were contributed by S. M. Barr ( Wolfville area), and J. W. F. Waldron (Cheverie area). The geological interpretation for the Walton to Cheverie area should be considered as a work in progress and subject to revision due to lack of data and subsurface uncertainty.

Locations of mineral occurrences and diamond-drill holes were taken mainly from the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSDNR) Mineral Occurrence Database and Drillhole Database, respectively. The locations of most, but not all, drillholes wereverified from company assessment information filed with the NSDNR library; in areas of particularly high-density drilling, some ofthe drillhole locations were not verified.

** A new lithostratigraphic scheme for early and middle Paleozoic (Cambrian to Devonian) strata in the Meguma Zone has been recently published by Schenk (1995) in the Society of America, Decade of North American Geology (DNAG) series, Volume F-1 p. 261-277 and 367-383. In summary, two supergroups were identified: (1) Meguma Supergroup as an elevation of consequent elevation of former formations (e.g. Goldenville, Halifax) to group status; and (2) the introduction of the Annapolis Supergroup to
including the White Rock, Kentville, New Canaan and Torbrook to form the constituent groups. strata in the Meguma Zone has been retained for use in this geological map
