T Last year at this time we all were amazed at how fast the economy had changed! Th ere were people who lost huge percentages of their stock market value. It didn’t matter how balanced your investment portfolio was; all were down except those in pure cash! It’s a year later, and metals and mining seem to have turned around. Th e junior market is going through a contraction, with mergers or reverse takeovers occurring frequently. In some forecasts, the reduction of the number of juniors is required to provide a better liquidity market. Th e price of gold and other commodities seems to be stable, and companies are exploring lower- grade deposits. It seems that the winners over time have been those companies that have good-quality projects and that have preserved some cash. Th ere are numerous large areas of staked ground being worked across the province. Th e new commodity being ex- plored for in Ontario is chromite! Th e exploration occurring in the Ring of Fire north of Nakina has been focusing on the potential of world-class chromite mineraliza- tion. Th e press releases have been pushing the area as similar to a de- posit in Finland. An examination of the claims reveals that about 3% of the area that is part of the Thank you to outgoing OPA President Wally Rayner. government’s Far North Land Use Planning Initiative is staked, and two long potential transportation corridors have been covered. Th is emerging exploration camp will be a focus for years to come and is possibly the next great northern deposit. Recently, with the forest industry in trouble, the exploration and mining industry is getting a better profi le as a wealth creator in Ontario’s north. eTh OPA and other groups have been asked to speak to community leaders to outline what is occurring across the north. Reviewing the exploration projects across Ontario quickly reveals that there are some large projects moving forward towards production decisions.

  • Water Management of the Steep Rock Iron Mines at Atikokan, Ontario During Construction, Operations, and After Mine Abandonment
    Proceedings of the 25th Annual British Columbia Mine Reclamation Symposium in Campbell River, BC, 2001. The Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation WATER MANAGEMENT OF THE STEEP ROCK IRON MINES AT ATIKOKAN, ONTARIO DURING CONSTRUCTION, OPERATIONS, AND AFTER MINE ABANDONMENT V. A. Sowa, P. Eng., F.E.I.C. 1 R. B. Adamson, P. Eng.2 A.W. Chow, P. Eng.3 1 Jacques Whitford and Associates Limited, Vancouver, British Columbia 2 Adamson Consulting, Thunder Bay, Ontario 3 Northwest Region, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Thunder Bay, Ontario ABSTRACT The Steep Rock Iron Mines at Atikokan, Ontario operated from 1944 to 1979. The iron ore was located at the bottom of Steep Rock Lake and water management was a key factor in developing the mines. Open pit mining required a massive water diversion scheme, including the diversion of the Seine River, draining of Steep Rock Lake, and construction of various dams and other diversion structures. In order to abandon the mine, the Province of Ontario required a suitable abandonment and long-term water management plan, and assessment of the condition of the various water control and diversion structures. Reclamation of the Seine River to its original course was not possible and, consequently, the water control structures, primarily dams and tunnels, will be operating in perpetuity. The water management during the development of the mines and during operations is described, as well as some insight into future water management options after abandonment. INTRODUCTION The richest undeveloped deposit of hematite iron ore on the North American continent at the time was discovered in 1938 beneath Steep Rock Lake, near Atikokan, Ontario.

In some instances, clarification was requested; in other instances, CMC has continued to gather information either in response to requests from the GRT, or as part of ongoing site monitoring. References are provided periodically within Chapter 3 to direct the reader to the most recent information available, within the documentation of the subject matter. ---------- 3.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS Chapter 3 provides a description of the environmental and socio-economic conditions in the area surrounding the Project, drawing from detailed discipline-specific assessments presented in 15 Technical Support Documents (TSDs). Extensive reference is made to specific TSDs throughout the chapter and the TSDs should be consulted for more detailed information. The existing conditions are defined on the basis of existing information available from a number of sources, including government agencies datasets, scientific literature, modelling, and extensive field studies conducted at the Project Site from 2010 through 2013. The overall approach and objectives of the existing conditions description are provided in Section 2.3. 3.1 Project Site Overview The Project is located in the Seine River watershed (6,250 km2) in northwestern Ontario. The project location is shown in Figure 1-1. The Seine River originates in the Savanne River at Raith, flows east-west for about 250 km and empties into Rainy Lake near Fort Frances and the Canada-U.S.
