Introduction:
877578 Ontario Inc. (henceforth referred to as the Company) has a number of mining claims in North-western Ontario that exhibit unique colours and textures of granite and were originally staked for their dimension stone potential. Subsequently, it was realized that even if bulk sampling should determine that some of those deposits do not have a suitable structure for block production, they might still have market potential as an aggregate.
Claim # PA 1244629 holds one of those granite deposits.
Location;
The property is located approximately 50 kms south-southeast of the community of Ear Falls, Ontario. The claim block is located at 92.a923980-west longitude, 50.26960^01111 latitude. The UTM co-ordinates are: Zone 15, 505417 m E, 5568609 m N.
The property is accessed via Highway 105, 28.5 kms south from Ear Falls. At this point, the CNR road transects the highway and leads-southeast 20 kms to the vicinity of the property. Here an abandoned tertiary road intersects the road to the North. The site is found by following the road up and over a smooth rock hill at l km then for l 1/2 km until a fork in the road is reached. The left fork in the road leads 3A km to Glider Lake. The claim is found approximately Vz km west of the beach at the landing.
Sampling Program:
The aggregate sampling program consisted of removing small pieces that could be broken off of bedrock using a sledgehammer and pry bar. These samples weighed approximately 200 - 250 Ibs and were reduced to -3" using a sledgehammer, removed from the bush and crushed to l" minus in size. Samples were then screened by hand to 4 sizes: -t- 3/4", - 3/4' - Y2\ - Vz" - VS\ and - Vi". Of particular interest to potential customers was the smallest - Vi" size, in that it approaches the size iraction utilized by pre-casters, and manufacturers of composite stone products.
Geology
The "greenstone" rocks of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield dominate the geology of North-western Ontario. Sub-Provinces in the region take the form of east-west trending belts known as the Wabigoon, Winnipeg River, Bird River, English River, Uchi and Berens River belts (from south to north). These belts are Archean in age and comprised mainly of vertically dipping volcanic, sedimentary and sub-volcanic intrusive rocks. These rocks themselves tend to be highly deformed and are therefore not likely to host granitoid rocks that would be favourable for dimension stone deposits.
Neo-meso Archean Intrusive Complexes:
After the development of the Archean basement rocks that form the major greenstone belts, a regional scale tectonic event (the Kenoran Orogeny) took place over time. Initially, this structural event was responsible for significant deformation of pre-existing lithologies; however, the last stages of this event were accompanied by voluminous late- tectonic felsic plutonism. It is these late felsic plutons that have endowed the North western Ontario with its legacy of high quality, imdefbrmed granite resources (i.e. the Lount Lake Complex part of the Winnipeg River Subprovince).
The Winnipeg River Subprovince consists of predominantly granitoid rocks and is bounded on the north by the English River and Bird River Subprovinces and on the south by the Wabigoon Subprovince. The Winnipeg River Subprovince comprises four rock suites, these are tonalitic gneisses and plutons and syn to post tectonic granitic and mafic suites.
The neo to meso Archean intrusive suite includes massive granodiorite and granites, diorite, monzonites, muscovite bearing granitic rocks, ̂ isuite of foliated tonalite intrusives and gneissic tonalites between the ages of 2.5 to 2.9 Ga.
Geology of the Deposit:
Stone Description:
Fine grained, reddish coloured granite with five percent mafic minerals and ninety-five percent burgundy feldspar and accessory quartz. The fine-grained texture and rich, dark red colour makes it very appealing as both an ornamental and a dimension stone. Since it is fine grained, its use as a dimension stone will indude monuments.
Site Physiography:
The outcrop is a massive hill of granite that rises steeply from the shore of Glider Lake and reaches a height of over 60 m. There is a steep cliff face of solid granite visible above the trees on the east side that is a very prominent feature of the landscape. The claim is a portion of a hill that is 400 m x 1000 m and is adjacent to other, similar topographic features.
The knoll is rounded on the sides with a flat top that is approximately 150 m x 600 m with good exposure approaching 50 - 6007o. The side slopes adjacent to the lake are completely free of overburden with lOO'M) exposure over an area of 50 m x 200 m. The steep slopes in this area approach a 5Q07o grade, which while it makes it difficult to traverse, allows runoff water to continually wash the slope.
The remainder of the hill has a series of ledges that rise steeply and are 3 -5 m high. The only overburden is shallow at 1A m deep, and often is only moss and lichens. Although
the forest consists of mature coniferous trees, the lack of soil has made them very susceptible to windfall, which further increases the degree of exposure.
Structure:
The area of the steep exposure was examined in detail and only 2 vertical joints were found over an expanse of over 100 m. The solid, massive slope has the characteristics of what is sometimes referred to as a "whaleback", except for the fact that this one would be the entire side of the hill. The exposed face eventually does taper into a prominent "finger" of stone to the north that is very narrow at the top, and widens with depth. Immediately to the west of this finger is another cliff face that is off of the claim.
The ledge development elsewhere on the claim is 3 - 5 m high, which is indicative of very favourable sheeting for the development of a dimension stone quarry.
Quarriability and Reserves:
Given the enormity of the deposit the reserves would be into several millions of tons.
The structure and colour makes this a prime target for dimension stone quarry development. The dark red to burgundy colour is attractive and unique and favourable for the high-end monumental market. The sales potential of any aggregate produced from dimension stone quarrying would be excellent.
There is excellent ledge development for the commencement of quarry operations.
However, the best stone is on the lakeside of the deposit. This means that equipment must traverse up and over the steep hill to access the heat of the deposit, which will be costly. Furthermore, the access road is only an overgrown tertiary road, and there is no road for the last .5-1 km into the quarry.
Since the deposit is adjacent to the shoreline of Glider Lake, there could be a problem obtaining an aggregate permit to quarry the deposit the deposit.
Marketing Results:
The colour and texture of the stone are identical to that at another claim held by the Company along the Mary Lake Road, which is only a few kilometres away, and has easier access. However, it has been determined that the ability of that deposit to support dimension stone production is questionable, although it is very amenable for aggregate.
This other deposit has been marketed as "Northern Sienna" and has received a very favourable response from those consumers contacted. Since the structure of the occurrence held by this claim appears to be suitable for dimension stone block production, the clients contacted that were interested in "Northern Sienna" for dimension stone purposes will be contacted for their renewed interest.
