Limestone is one of Alberta's most valuable non-energy minerals.
Although extensive deposits of limestone are found in Alberta, those that can be exploited are limited. This is compounded by dwindling supplies and rising demand, which add urgency to the need to find new supplies. Thus, the objective of this project was to conduct comprehensive resource analyses of limestones in Alberta. All data on limestones from previous studies were consolidated, and field investigations were carried out to supplement this information. These investigations included evaluation of limestone potential at particular locations.
