| Basis for focus area |
Quetico subprovince known to have significant LCT pegmatite potential, based on what's known from its extent in Ontario (for example, Selway and others, 2005). |
| Identified resources |
None known. |
| Production |
No known production. |
| Status |
Unknown. |
| Estimated resources |
No data. |
| Geologic maps |
Jirsa and others (2012), scale 1:500,000. |
| Geophysical data |
Inadequate aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric coverage. |
| Favorable rocks and structures |
Metasedimentary rocks and granites of the Quetico subprovince. |
| Deposits |
No data. |
| Evidence from mineral occurrences |
No data. |
| Geochemical evidence |
No data. |
| Geophysical evidence |
No data. |
| Evidence from other sources |
Favorable terrane in Ontario. |
| Cover thickness and description |
None to thin glacial cover in eastern part of state, increasing to ~40m +/- 40 m in western part of state. |

| New data needs |
New mapping, high resolution geophysics. |
| Geologic mapping and modeling needs |
More detailed mapping, to the extent allowed by glacial cover. |
| Geophysical survey and modeling needs |
Rank 1 aeromagnetic data, also radiometric data. |
| Digital elevation data needs |
Lidar adequate over eastern half of area; inadequate over western half. |
