Geological Report 80: Radioactive Mineral Occurrences of the Province of Quebec, by D. M. Shaw; 1958

A mid-20th century provincial geological publication, Geological Report 80: Radioactive Mineral Occurrences of the Province of Quebec (1958) by D. M. Shaw documents uranium- and thorium-bearing mineral occurrences across Quebec during the height of early nuclear-era exploration.

Issued by the Mineral Deposits Branch of the Quebec Department of Mines, the report provides detailed descriptions of radioactive minerals, their composition, and geological settings, along with prospecting methods and instrumentation such as Geiger and scintillation counters. Numerous localities are covered, including occurrences within the Grenville Province.

The work includes original maps and geological data, making it both a useful reference and an interesting historical document from a period of intense uranium exploration in Canada.

This example shows light wear to the covers from age and handling, with a clean and well-preserved interior.
