"Mining development in Canada is sweeping forward. Vast new areas are opening up, and capital is pouring in by the hundreds of millions of dollars, but cautious Canadians are missing their chance to share the wealth. Concentrating largely upon mining and oil, D.M. LeBourdais, whose book Canada's Century has won wide acclaim, in this book tells about some of these new opportunities. He has a word of warning, however, for the unwary investor concerning some of the schemers and swindlers who lie in wait for his money.
