Previous geological mapping later in 2008 concentrated on low silica limestone from the southeast and southwest part of the property covered by Tenure 576416 and 567886. 2. Silica values from the 2007 and 2008 sampling and previous samples returned values less than 1% SiO2. 3. The general area was covered by Selesse 1 Mining Lease (Lease # 363428) totalling 99.4 hectares (since surrendered) and several Mineral Claims, now totalling 338.58 hectares. The northeast end of the limestone unit is held as a Special Use Permit by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways amounting to about 3.44 acres. 4. The general carbonate section consists of an upper 60 metre thick limestone member separated from a lower 30 metre thick limestone member by approximately 30 metres of cherty argillite and greywacke. 5. Mining by I.G. in 1997 began with establishment of the northern end of 360m bench level, by drilling and blasting 45,000 tonnes of material. Some oversize was used to construct roads and stockpile-crusher area. Blast holes were up to 40’ deep (2.5 to 3” holes) and shot with Anfo. 6. Continued geological mapping to the south and a small bulk sample of 115 tonnes from the southwest area to test the material at the company’s roofing products plant in Sumas, Washington was completed in 2008. 7. Assays from the bulk sample suggest SiO2 and MgO values which are acceptable to filler requirements and tear strengths of fibreglass shingles. 8. The southeast and southwest zones together are in the 500,000 to 600,000 tonne range of potential which can only be confirmed by drilling. 9. Previous 2014 sampling: Calcium content ranges from 18.03% to 30.08% Ca, Magnesium ranged from a low of 1.52% Mg to 5.57% Mg; silica ranged from 2.05% up to 7.72% Si. 10. A program of about 1,500 feet of drilling is recommended to further evaluate the southern zones at an estimated cost of $75,000.00. 11. Work in 2019 focussed on sampling on the northern part of the claims on Tenures 567887, 567884 and 1021114. Assay values range between 0.1735% Ca and 52.51% Ca with 2.86% Si and 28.75%Si. 12. Future work is recommended on the west side of Tenure 1021114. Respectfully submitted, J. T. Shearer, M.Sc., P.Geo.

Acquisition and preliminary evaluation of the steep-sided knoll was started in July 1997 on which two main limestone units are exposed and was completed in July and October 1997. The general carbonate section consists of an approximately 60 metre thick Permian limestone member separated from a lower 30 metre thick limestone member by about 30 metres of cherty argillite and greywacke. Sampling in 1997 and previously obtained assays indicate that the upper carbonate unit contains up to 50.59% CaO with very low impurities except for around 8% SiO2. The silica content is mainly from the stratabound ameboid shaped chert nodules and chert lenses in Upper Limestone member which possibly could be sorted and separated in the pit. Drilling and blasting started on November 4, 1998 with initial pioneering work. Crushing was started on December 1, 1998 and product was first trucked to the Sumas Plant on December 10, 1998. The 1998 Assessment Report documents experience gained while producing material in 1998 and establishing the first open cut bench. A detail plan was outlined for work in 1999 to produce 60,000 tonnes of Limestone and gravel, and rock, rip-rap and stone products that are used for construction purposes (as defined in the Land Act). This plan was not completed and only 40,000 tonnes was produced. Construction means the use of rock or other natural substances for roads, buildings, berms, breakwaters, runways, rip-rap and fills and includes crushed rock. Dimension stone means any rock or stone product that is cut or split on two or more sides, but does not include crushed rock. The apparent expected end use of the CaCO3 resource (that of supporting a roofing plant raw materials and fillers) from the Slesse Project of IKO Industries Ltd. comes within the Industrial Use definition and therefore can be considered under the Mineral Tenure Act. Previous work in 2007 and 2008 consisted of sampling purer limestone located in the southern part of the claims on claims 576416 and 567886. This work suggests the two zones together are in the 500,000 to 600,000 tonne range of potential which can only be confirmed by drilling. Current work in 2019 consists of follow-up geochemical sampling on the north side of claim tenure #1021114. 1 Geochemical Assessment Report for the South Slesse Limestone Quarry September 1, 2019 Figure 2 Access Map – Google Image 2 Geochemical Assessment Report for the South Slesse Limestone Quarry September 1, 2019 LOCATION and ACCESS The Slesse mineral claims are situated on a steep sided knoll rising to an elevation of about 215m (700 ft.) above the Chilliwack River immediately west of the mouth of Slesse Creek. This point is about 20.9 km (13.1 miles) by road easterly from Vedder Crossing Bridge and about 26 km from the railway at Sardis. The claims are covered by second growth forest which has been thinned and may be ready for harvesting

  • Preliminary Calibration of a Numerical Runout Model for Debris Flows in Southwestern British Columbia
    7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation Preliminary calibration of a numerical runout model for debris flows in Southwestern British Columbia Sophia Zubryckya,*, Andrew Mitchella, Jordan Aaronb, Scott McDougalla a Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences – University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada bDepartment of Engineering Geology – ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland Abstract Debris-flow hazard and risk assessments require reliable estimates of inundation area, velocity and flow depth to evaluate spatial impact and impact intensity. Semi-empirical numerical runout models that simulate bulk flow behavior with simple rheological models are useful in forecasting these parameters, however, they require calibration by back-analyzing past events. This paper presents the back-analysis of six debris flows in southwestern British Columbia using a novel automated calibration approach that systematically optimizes the Dan3D runout model to fit field observations. The calibration method yielded good simulations of runout length, but under-predicted flow depths in some cases, and over-predicted velocities in all cases. The best-fit Voellmy rheology parameters for the studied cases ranged from 46 to 531 m/s2 for the turbulence coefficient and 0.08 to 0.18 for the friction coefficient. There is a potential inverse correlation between friction coefficient and event volume. Calibrated parameters were compared to morphometric parameters for the study sites, which may be useful for guiding parameter selection once a larger dataset is calibrated. Ongoing work is focused on refining the calibration technique, including standardization of input parameters more relevant to debris flows. The long-term goal is to apply the technique to a larger dataset of debris-flow cases and provide practitioners with better guidance on the selection of model input parameters for forecasting purposes.

Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member ii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Dan J. Smith (Department of Geography) Supervisor Dr. David Atkinson (Department of Geography) Departmental Member Dr. Tobi Gardner (Victoria Capital Regional District) Outside Member The hydrology of southwestern British Columbia is influenced by the region’s mountainous topography and climate oscillations generated from the Pacific Ocean. While much of the region is characterized as a temperate rainforest, recent summers are defined by record-breaking droughts that focus attention on the threat to regional water supply security likely to accompany future climate changes. The limited length and distribution of hydrological records in southwestern British Columbia provide poor context for resource managers tasked with developing policy and water management strategies. The purpose of the dissertation was to describe long-term variability in several key hydroclimatic variables and hydroecological interactions that may be used in updated water resource policy and management strategies.

  • Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face
    AAC Publications Cheam Range, Lady Peak, North Face Canada, British Columbia, North Cascades On May 7, Brette Harrington and Marc-André Leclerc climbed the north face of Lady Peak (2,178m) in the Cheam Range, near Chilliwack. This was likely the first ascent of the face, whose steepest section gains about 500m and is comprised of loose but compact volcanic rock. The two spent 13 hours on the climb, which involved thin ice and technical dry tooling on slabs, often with marginal protection (11 long pitces, 5.8 M4 80°). They topped out at sundown and scrambled to the summit before descending easy slopes to the west. In January 2016, the same pair made the probable first ski descent of the northeast couloir on Lady Peak. – Dougald MacDonald, with information from Marc-André Leclerc The following first-person account of this ascent, by Marc-André Leclerc, unfortunately was received too late for publication in the print edition of AAJ 2018: On May 7, Brette Harrington and I climbed a line, right of center, on the imposing north face of Lady Peak in the Cheam Range, the same range of mountains where I essentially began my true mountaineering apprenticeship, with an ascent of Welch Peak, at 11 years old. The area is well known for very loose rock, and the more technical routes are often done in winter or spring as frozen mixed routes. The north face of Lady Peak is the steepest in the range and could be considered the last major face in the range to be climbed, as the unclimbed north face of the Still, while appealing, is quite small in comparison.
