Prospecting in Canada, by A. H. Lang; 1966

A classic Geological Survey of Canada publication, Prospecting in Canada by A. H. Lang is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of mineral exploration across the country.

Originally issued as part of the Economic Geology Series, this work was designed as a practical manual for prospectors and geologists, covering topics such as geological fundamentals, identification of minerals and rocks, prospecting methods, and the evaluation of mineral deposits. The book is well illustrated with maps, diagrams, and photographs, making it both an informative reference and a useful field-oriented guide.

This 1966 reprint of the third edition reflects mid-20th century Canadian exploration practices during an important period of mineral development. It remains of interest to collectors, students, and anyone involved in prospecting or the history of Canadian mining.

This example shows light to moderate wear to the covers from use, with some staining visible, while the interior remains clean and well-preserved.
