From 1982-84, the Ontario Geological Survey conducted an inventory of peatlands in 16 study areas across Ontario. Field investigations were performed by private-sector consulting firms, necessitating precise project specifications and a standardized approach. The first year's investigations were modelled on the New Brunswick and Finnish systems but were later modified. This report describes the 1984 field-work methods, covering field work, mapping and profiling, and report writing. Directions are given for both detailed and reconnaissance evaluations of the peat stratigraphy and peatland vegetation.

The map area is located east of Long Lake and comprises Daley Township and the eastern part of Ginoogaming First Nation Indian Reserve, formerly Long Lake Indian Reserve 77. Field work was carried out in summer 1988 and consisted of mapping the Precambrian bedrock and its mineral deposits. Rock samples were collected in the field, with 50 samples submitted for gold and silver assays, 40 for whole-rock geochemistry, and 88 for thin sectioning. This report describes the general geology, rock geochemistry, structural geology, metamorphism and alteration, geochronology, and economic geology of the area, including descriptions of existing properties, and the possibilities for gold, silver, base metals, iron, corundum, stone, and sand and gravel.
