Mineralogy of the Mount Pleasant Tin Deposit in New Brunswick, by W. (William) Petruk; 1964

A detailed Canadian government publication examining the mineralogy of the Mount Pleasant tin deposit in New Brunswick, one of Canada’s notable tin-bearing systems.

Authored by W. Petruk and issued as Technical Bulletin 56 (1964), the work provides a thorough study of the deposit’s mineral assemblages, including cassiterite, stannite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, and associated sulphides. The report includes both general and detailed mineralogical descriptions, as well as broader geological context for the deposit.

This example is in very good condition for its age, with only minor handling wear. The interior is clean and complete.

Notably, the front cover bears a presentation inscription (“Compliments of the author”), adding a small but desirable element of provenance.

A solid reference for economic geologists, mineral collectors, and those interested in Canadian ore deposits.
