From: Delineating Areas of Past Environmental Degradation near Smelters using Rock Coatings: A Case Study at Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec

Figure 1

Rouyn-Noranda is located in western Quebec, Canada, between the cities of Val-d’Or, Quebec, and Timmins, Ontario. These three cities all fall within the Abitibi gold belt, a major mining district within the Abitibi greenstone belt.
