The Pipestone Pond area, located near the geographic centre of Newfoundland, includes the eastern half of the Great Burnt Lake map area and the northeastern quadrant of the Cold Spring Pond map area. This report results from field work carried out during the summer of 1980, the final phase of a 3-year study of the regional metallogeny of the Hermitage Flexure. The study was extended into the Pipestone Pond area to identify the environment of deposition of the South Pond and Great Burnt Lake copper deposits, to evaluate the potential for further similar discoveries, and to integrate this part of southern Newfoundland into a regional synthesis. Of equal interest was an evaluation of the massive sulphide potential of the felsic volcanic rocks of the Baie d'Espoir Group, and a preliminary assessment of the metallogenic relationship between the Hermitage Flexure region and the time-equivalent volcano-sedimentary sequences of central Newfoundland.
