Zusammenfassung:Horton Group clastic rocks in the St. Mary's Basin are predominantly derived from auriferous Meguma terrane lithologies to the south. Lithological and sedimentological criteria indicate the contact between the lacustrine Little Stewiacke River Formation and the fluviatile Barrens Hills Formation represents a shoreline facies which is a potentially favourable palaeoplacer gold horizon. The contact is marked by the occurrence of a thick sequence (
