Lithium deposits and Potential of Quebec and Atlantic Provinces, Canada

Abstract

Quebec was an important lithium producer from 1955 to 1965 and could regain this status when adequate markets are available. Most of the known lithium deposits are spodumene-bearing pegmatites in the Superior structural province of the Canadian Precambrian Shield. Although very little systematic exploration has been carried out, spodumene dikes have been found in every major greenstone belt between latitudes 47 and 53 °N. They usually occur near the upper contacts between late-stage granitic intrusive masses and metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and appear to represent a normal stage in the metallogenic evolution of this area.
