Mineral Resources Branch of the Nova Scotia Department of Energy and Mines
maintains an inventory of the mineral occurrences in the province. This
Mineral Occurrence Database (MODB) is a computer-based inventory of
metallic and industrial mineral occurrences. For our purposes, a mineral
occurrence is defined as any location where a naturally-occurring concentration
of a mineral(s), rock or surficial material is found that occurs in a
concentration above the norm such that it may be of interest to the Departments
varied clientele. We realize that what is a "normal concentration" is
a subjective term and prone to individual interpretation. It is our intention
to include as occurrences any location where factors occur that would be of
interest to the mineral exploration industry or our other clients including
geotechnical professionals, mineral and rock collectors, naturalists, the
construction industry and the general public.</span></p><font color='#000000' size='3'>

Mineral Occurrence Database contains information for upwards of 3,000 mineral
occurrences but it must be stressed that this does not represent all of the
known mineral occurrences in the province. The database is continually being
updated with new mineral occurrence entries as well as additional information
added to entries already contained within it.</span></p><font color='#000000' size='3'>

the Mineral Occurrence Database is structured to contain information on
occurrences of coal, at present there are only a few coal occurrences included.</span></p><font color='#000000' size='3'>
