Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: [Photograph number 74450] Long-noted for its Trappist monastery and the quality of its famous cheese, the French-Canadian hamlet of Oka, P.Q., today boasts the distinction of being the heart of a mining exploration boom. With pyramid-like drilling rigs fast becoming a part of Oka's pastoral scene, geologists and prospectors arc heightening their search for Columbium, one of a host of miracle minerals spawned by the atomic age. Columbium core samples (below) [photograph number 73886] were taken from a depth of 175 feet.
