This volume largely contains papers and abstracts presented during the "Focus on Industrial Minerals" meeting held in Vancouver in 1998 at the Sheraton Wall Centre. The meeting was organized by a consortium of the Industrial Minerals Division of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, the British Columbia Geological Survey, the Centre for Earth and Ocean Research at the University of Victoria and British Columbia Trade and Investment, and was co-sponsored by the Northern Miner. The core of the book consists of a number of papers and abstracts covering Canadian industrial minerals from coast to coast, province by province. The papers presented during the meeting have been supplemented by a large number of contributions covering the geology of specific deposits, and describing industrial mineral projects and development opportunities across Canada. Where final papers were not received, extended abstracts are published instead.

This report provides a tectonic and mineral deposit overview, then discusses deposits in North American rocks, followed by deposits formed in accreted and suspect' terrains; deposits formed at or near the sea floor or from hot springs; and those formed in successively deeper zones as magmatic deposits, vein to replacement deposits, skarns, and porphyries. Deposits within and directly linked to intrusive rocks (magmatic, porphyries, skarns), replacement deposits, possible manto deposits, deep to shallow veins and related deposits formed at the surface, volcanogenic massive sulphides and sedex deposits are then discussed. Sedimentary-hosted deposits of gypsum, barite, phosphate and other industrial minerals are not covered, nor are coal, uranium, pegmatite-hosted deposits, molybdenum prophyries or some of the less common deposit types such as carbonatites, tin greisens, and placers.
