Slate Resources In Graham Island Area Attract Attention
A field report notes sandstone and slate deposits along Slate Chuck Creek with lenticular shale patches and abundant fossilized plant remains. Haidas carve totems from the slate which polishes richly when handled, and analysts provide a mineral composition. Prospects for quarrying and potential rail links to ship coal across Yakoun valley are discussed, with optimism for future mining communities on Graham Island.
