REGIONAL GEOLOGY 8 2 1. SUMMARY The Coulonge River Property of Bryson Burke Resources Inc.. (referred to as BBR from here on) is located 75 km west of Maniwaki, Québec in Pontiac County. The property hosts a discovery of micro-diamonds found in the sediments of the Coulonge River as well as in some of the local streams in the Bryson Lake area. Glacial fluvial tills overlay the Grenville basement rocks or mainly granitic to mafic rich gneisses. The property is less than 200 km southeast of the Guigues kimberlite discovery. The property is comprised of 4686 mining claims in 29 separate non-contiguous claim blocks with a total area of over 76,000 hectares. Bryson-Burke Exploration Ltd.(BBE) carried out a regional grassroots exploration program during the period of June 1,1994 to December 31, 1995. The first phase consisted of completing orientation overburden trenches in the vicinity of the discovery of microdiamonds found in the sediments of the Coulonge River. With some understanding of the local till cover, comprised mainly of glacial/fluvial boulder outwash till overlying the Grenville Basement, a regional till sampling program was launched under the direction of Mousseau Tremblay and Ron Little. The till sampling program was to delineate any possible trains of kimberlite indicator minerals. Already there were possible targets outlined by ancient airborne geophysics with ground follow-up on 53 of the better targets. Any results from the till program were to assist in the prioritization for diamond drilling of these targets. This approach to delineation of targets dictates that the samples be taken at greater distances from the perceived targets in a down-ice direction. For this reason many of the samples were not actually on the staked claims although a reference can be found for each claim in the appendix for each sample. For this reason, the total expenditures for this program include the costs for all samples including those that were taken south of the respective claims. A total of 248 till samples which typically weighed 40 kg were processed to a concentrate using hand jigging and an INEX jig in the field. The concentrates were further reduced to a heavy concentrate using heavy liquids with a density of 3.33 g/ml. All samples were given a brief microscopic inspection and almost half were given a very detailed inspection including the microprobing of several grains. All results indicate that there were no true kimberlitic indicator minerals found in any of these inspections. Plans for more detailed till sampling were put on hold. - 4 2. INTRODUCTION This report briefly describes the summer and fall 1994 exploration program and its results on the Coulonge River Property with respect to the work performed as per an Exploration grant given to Bryson Burke Resources Inc. in 1994. No follow-up exploration program is proposed in this report. 3. LOCATION AND ACCESS 3.1 PROPERTY LOCATION The property is located in Pontiac County in the Lac Bryson Area of western Quebec. It is made up of 29 claim blocks lying between 46 and 47 north latitude and 7630' and 7730' west longitude (see Figure 1). The nearest town is Deep River, Ontario, on the Ontario-Quebec border, about 55 km southwest of the sampling sites. The small village of Otter Lake is located 66 km southeast of the property. 3.2 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION Ron Little has not independently verified title to any of the claims. The description of the claims has been derived from information provide by BBR. The property is owned 100 % by BBR. The property consists of 29 claim blocks comprising unpatented mining claims which cover approximately 76,000 hectares. The claims were staked by BBR from January 1993 to February 1994. The majority of the property is located within a Main Block which extends for about 35 km along the Coulonge River. The claim blocks are shown on the compilation map in the appendix. The list of claims can be found in the appendices of reports filed previously this year. BBR \\_ PROPERTY AREA Figure 1. Property location map. 6 3.3 ACCESS CLIMATE AND TERRAIN Access to the property is gained from the south, through the Zone Environmental Controlee (Z.E.C.) Pontiac. The southern boundary of the property can be reached from Ottawa in about three hours. The best route into the property is though Renfrew on Highway 17 West and across the Ottawa River. After crossing the river, Highway 301 North leads into the village of Otter Lake where the Picanoc Road is taken north, eventually turning into a moderately maintained logging road, that leads to the south end of the Z.E.C. Permission is necessary to use the logging roads in the Z.E.C. that access the property. From the control gate, a dirt logging road is followed north until a logging camp is reached on the east side of the river. A bridge spans the river at this point below a bend in the river known as the "Big D". The main sampling sites are in this area and to the north of the bridge. Access to most of the property is gained by the logging road. Many smaller hunting roads and trails allow good access to the rest of the property as well as the lakes and rivers. The area is roughly 350 m above sea level consisting of numerous rolling hills, abundant lakes and active drainage systems. The hills with an average relief of 75 m exhibit open deciduous to often dense boreal forests. Steep hills, tight bush and swampy areas are common and can create slow working conditions. 4. EXPLORATION HISTORY 4.1 GENERAL The area was not known to have been explored for diamonds until Bryson-Burke Resources discovered indicator minerals in panned concentrates around Lac Bryson in 1992. Regional radiometric, gravity and aeromagnetic data from the Geophysics Division of the GSC were used in conjunction with aerial photography to define targets for claim staking. This area has been previously explored for base metals such as copper, zinc and nickel. There has been some interest in gold and silver and there are several current operations producing industrial minerals such as marble, mica and quartz. The historical geological maps are at to large of a scale to be of much use. 7 4.2 GEOPHYSICS The airborne magnetic survey with resultant total field and vertical components as calculated and published in false colour by the GSC were useful in identifying positive circular anomalies that are as large in diameter as the line spacing (800 m or greater). Smaller anomalies appear only if a the flight line passed exactly over the target. Despite its limited application, the survey was useful for recognizing regional structures and faults. In an attempt to gain additional information, the magnetic data was processed by BBE to enhance potentially significant anomalies. Having first been reduced-to-pole, a high pass filter was applied to enhance the smaller/tighter elliptical anomalies, that may indicate kimberlite pipes, from the larger anomalous lows generated by the gneissic host rock. Euler deconvolutions were computed, and all vertical pipe-like structures were filtered out as potential targets to be compared with other data information. 5. GEOLOGY 5.1 REGIONAL GEOLOGY The property lies within the Saint Patrice Lake area and is underlain by Precambrian rocks of the Grenville Group. These rocks consist of quartz-feldspar gneisses, amphibolites, hornblende gneisses, biotite gneisses, garnet gneisses and metasedimentary formations with a characteristic marble member. The quartz-feldspar gneisses occur in association with all the gneisses in the area and make up a large region around Lynch Lake, where they form the core of an antiform structure that plunges southeast. Biotite gneisses are the most common, and in places contain abundant hypersthene, characteristic of charnockitic affinities (usually indicating a granulite facies terrain). Garnet gneisses are found in the biotite and hornblende gneiss terrains and serve as marker beds to outline the antiform structure. Marble is found mainly in close proximity to the Coulonge River. Two types (and ages) of intrusions into the Grenville Group exist in the region, namely Precambrian pre- and post-tectonic intrusions. The pre-tectonic intrusions are of gabbroic, pyroxenitic or basaltic composition. These make up an insignificant portion of the rocks exposed in the area, but merit attention. The post-tectonic intrusions consist of small massive granite and syenite bodies, pegmatites and aplites. Younger diabase dykes and associated gabbro bodies are also found throughout the region (Katz 1976).

    Maintaining Community and Values in a Time of Growth By JJ (Jennifer Jupp) , Director RITING THIS ARTICLE HAS been a gift. I’ve been diving deeply into the idea W of community. My favourite definition of community is from Wikipedia (of all places!) “A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values...It is a group of people who are connected by durable relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties, and who mutualy define that relationship as important to their social identity and practice.” Durable, important relationships….Camp Wanapitei - yes, that resonates. Camp Wanapitei has cultural norms and values that its community members have bought into for generations. Will these core aspects of Camp Wanapitei emotional investment in each other, leaders create a vision, articulate the change as a result of growth?

  • Management Plan for the River Redhorse (Moxostoma Carinatum) in Canada
    PROPOSED Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series Management Plan for the River Redhorse (Moxostoma carinatum) in Canada River Redhorse 2016 About the Species at Risk Act Management Plan Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003, and one of its purposes is “to manage species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened.” What is a species of special concern? Under SARA, a species of special concern is a wildlife species that could become threatened or endangered because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. Species of special concern are included in the SARA List of Wildlife Species at Risk. What is a management plan? Under SARA, a management plan is an action-oriented planning document that identifies the conservation activities and land use measures needed to ensure, at a minimum, that a species of special concern does not become threatened or endangered. For many species, the ultimate aim of the management plan will be to alleviate human threats and remove the species from the List of Wildlife Species at Risk. The plan sets goals and objectives, identifies threats, and indicates the main areas of activities to be undertaken to address those threats. Management plan development is mandated under Sections 65–72 of SARA. A management plan has to be developed within three years after the species is added to the List of Wildlife Species at Risk.

  • 2.3 Algonquin History in the Ottawa River Watershed
    CULTURAL HERITAGE 17 2.3 Algonquin History in the Ottawa River Watershed James Morrison, Sicani Research and Advisory Services The history of the Ottawa River watershed is inseparable from the history of the Algonquin Nation. Though their territory was once considerably more extensive, the Algonquin heartland has always included the entire length of the Ottawa River, from its headwaters in north-central Quebec to its outlet near Montreal. At present, there are ten federally recognized Algonquin communities, with a total population of approximately 8-10,0001 (for more detailed information on these communities, see Appendix F). Nine of the Algonquin communities are in Quebec. Proceeding from northwest to southeast, these are the Abitibiwinni, Timiskaming, Eagle Village (Kebaouek), Wolf Lake, Long Point (Winneway), Kitcisakik (Grand Lac), Lac Simon, Mitcikinabik Inik (Algonquins of Barriere Lake) and Kitigan Zibi (River Desert) First Nations. In Ontario, members of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan (at Golden Lake) First Nation make up the only recognized Algonquin community, though three other Ontario First Nation communities, Wahgoshig, Matachewan and Temagami, are of at least partial Algonquin descent. Compared to First Nations in most other parts of Canada, the ten Algonquin communities have very little reserve land. By far the largest parcel is the River Desert Reserve belonging to the Kitigan Zibi Algonquins. Consisting of approximately 43,000 acres, it is located near Maniwaki, Quebec. The Timiskaming First Nation has a Reserve of approximately 5,000 acres at the head of Lake Temiskaming, Quebec, very close to the Ontario border. This Reserve, originally some 69,000 acres in size, was set apart by the Province of Canada in the period 1851-53, as was the River Desert Reserve.

Among the bands of Algonquins and Ojibwas in northern Ontario visited during the summer of 1913, chiefly in the interests of the Geological Survey of Canada, I spent some weeks with the Indians at the head of Lake Timiskaming, on the boundary between Ontario and the Province of Quebec. These people are officially known as the Timiskaming band of Algonquins, numbering 241 in 1911, and located at their old headquarters in a village, North Timiskaming, 3 miles above where the Riviere des Quinze empties into Lake Timis- kaming.
