Abstract
Abstracts of Theses: Sedimentary Iron in the Cretaceous of the Clear Hills Area, Alberta
The wealth of oil and gas found in Alberta since 1947 has resulted in a greatly expanded economy. This has produced a growing market for iron and its alloys in the western provinces, and has aroused the interest of several large international steel producers. Consequently all known occurrences of iron in Alberta have undergone investigation of varying intensity during the past few years.
This thesis sets forth the results of a study, from many approaches, of one of the more promising possible commercial deposits, located in the Clear Hills area of northwestern Alberta. This is a fine example of an oolitic iron deposit comparable, mineralogically, to many of the well known sedimentary deposits of iron throughout Europe and the United States of America.
The field and laboratory evidence appears to substantiate the assumption that the oolitic iron in the Clear Hills has definite commercial possibilities as a low grade iron ore. The prospective (but not proven) tonnage appears to be capable of supporting a large economical open pit operation.
