50 Years Ago DECEMBER, 1937 BIG TONNAGE IRON DEPOSITS INDICATED IN

During the past season, exploration of the large mining concession in Labrador, held by Labrador Mining and Exploration Co., has resulted in the discovery of two iron ore deposits believed to have possibilities of major importance. Due to the shortness of the season for work to be carried on in this area, only preliminary investigation was possible. But if further work next year substantiates present indications, there is an excellent chance that the next few years will see the opening up of another vast and virtually unexplored section of the British Empire. Already, the British government has indicated interest in the project and negotiations are proceeding. The situation in Spain has forced Great Britain to be on the lookout for other sources of iron ore. Reprinted from The Northern Miner, December, 1937.
