Mineral Resources Maps -

Limestone Resources Map: Island of Newfoundland. Note that the St. George's Bay-Codroy occurrences [Codroy Group] are largely gypsum - rather than limestone and dolomite - and that the area lacks a noteworthy limestone flora. Therefore, the area is not directly considered in this website.
