This arrangement was caused by glaciers during the last Ice Age, which covered the shield and scraped the rock clean in doing so. The shield is one of the world's richest areas in terms of mineral ores. It is filled with substantial deposits of nickel, gold, silver, and copper. Throughout the north of Canada there are many mining towns extracting these minerals.
