  • Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District, Ontario
    Thunder Bay Field Naturalists Checklist of Fish es of Thunder Bay District , Ontario 31 December 2019 Introduction This first edition of Checklist of Fishes of Thunder Bay District adds to existing checklists prepared by members of the Thunder Bay Field Naturalists (TBFN) covering other vertebrate taxa (mammals, birds, reptiles & amphibians), as well vascular plants, butterflies, and odonates. As with these other checklists, it covers the official judicial District of Thunder Bay (Figure 1). The District extends from the eastern border of Quetico Provincial Park east to White River, and from the international border north to Lake St. Joseph and the Albany River. Much of the District (60%) is within the Great Lakes watershed, with the remaining draining into the Arctic Ocean either north via the Hudson Bay Lowlands, or west via Rainy Lake/Lake of the Woods and the Nelson River watershed. Figure 1. Judicial District of Thunder Bay with primary watersheds and protected areas. 2 The fish species of the Thunder Bay District mostly reflect post-glacial colonization, modified by more recent ecological and anthropogenic influences. The Wisconsinan ice mass began to retreat north of Lake Superior circa 10,700 BP (Farrand and Drexler 1985), allowing fish to initially colonize the Thunder Bay area (Momot and Stephenson 1996). The Marquette advance circa 9900 BP likely wiped out these early colonizers, but its retreat around 9700 BP allowed many species access from glacial refugia in the Mississippi River basin to the south (Mandrak and Crossman 1992b; Stephenson and Momot 1994). Some species invaded from the east via the outlet of Lake Minong and Lake Superiors’ other post-glacial predecessors.

  • Jackfish Lake Au / REE Potential Property
    Jackfish Lake Au / REE Potential Property Available for Option The property ties on to Galahad Metals Jon's showing - Blood Vein Jackfish Lake Property Location and Access: The property is situated in the Terrace Bay area Thunder Bay Mining Division of North-western Ontario. The claims are found within the Syine Township. Syine is approximately 16km east of Terrace Bay, situated on the north of Lake Superior between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie. The Trans Canada Highway 17 runs through the west portion of the claim. Jackfish Lake Property The Jackfish Lake Property consists of 1 unpatented contiguous mining claims ( 14 units, 224 hectare ) recorded in good standing in Thunder Bay Mining Division within the Syine Twp. G-0634 Claims/unit 3015227(14) Regional Geology Syine Township is underlain by Archean age Hemlo-Schreiber greenstone belt rocks in the Wawa sub-province. The greenstone belt rocks include Keewatin mafic volcanic rocks which were intruded by Algoman syenodiorite to granodiorite masses. During the intrusion the mafic metavolcanics were highly fractured. The most prominent fractures lie in a NE direction. Syenite and granodiorite dykes were injected into these fractures as quartz veins, lamprophyre and +/- porphyry. These dykes range from centimetre – meter in scale. Dykes and quartz veins are generally steeply dipping o the northwest but some are found to dip 20 degrees to northwest. Local Geology The oldest rocks are mafic metavolcanics consisting of various iron-rich tholeiitic basalts. These rocks are folded along a synclinal axis plunging to the east. The Terrace Bay B atholith has intruded into the area to the west; there is an increase in mafic minerals at the contacts.
