The deposit occurs in the Potsdam Sandstone, which at this place forms the summit of a low ridge of crystalline limestone. The top of the hill is about 100 feet above the lake which is connected with the Rideau Canal, and the iron deposit is in a favorable situation for easy mining and transportation.

The principal locality at which ore has been mined is Jacksontown, situated about three and a half miles from Woodstock and about two miles from the west bank of the River St. John. As seen at this point, the ore beds (portions of which are true hæmatites, whilst others are limonites) are somewhat irregularly interstratified with a series of clay-slates, usually bright-red or brownish-red in immediate proximity to the ore, but elsewhere of a pale-grey colour, and highly inclined. The orebeds vary in number, and are from six inches to eight feet thick, the average being about three and a half feet. Iron smelting was at one time carried on here.

In the seigniory of Vaudreuil, at the confluence of the rivers St. Lawrence and Ottawa, bog-iron ore is found in many places, but appears to be most abundant in Côte St. Charles, where in one place a bed is said to attain a thickness of eight feet. In Ste. Angélique, on what is known as the McGillis property, and also in Ste. Elizabeth, the ore occurs in the form of brownish-black concretions, averaging about three-quarters of an inch in diameter, and containing a large proportion of oxide of manganese. Occurs in the slates and quartzites of Cambro-Silurian age, at Londonderry, on the southern slope of the Cobequid Hills. The deposit has an approximately east-and-west course, and has been traced for a distance of more than twelve miles. It is composed of carbonates and oxides of iron. Its width is sometimes two hundred feet, and ore-bodies of fifty feet have been found. The deposit has in places been worked on a large scale.
