MINISTER A.-O. DUFRESNE. DEPUTY MINISTER GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS BRANCH I. W. JONES, CHIEF PRELIMINARY REPORT ON VIENNE AREA ABITIBI TERRITORY AND ABITIBI-EAST ELECTORAL DISTRICT BY L. B. GILLETT QUEBEC 1957 P. R. NO. 337 M-D-4294 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON VIENNE AREA by L. B. Gillett INTRODUCTION The Vienne area comprises about 245 square miles, bounded by lati- tudes 50000' and 50°15' and longitudes 74°30' and 74049.4'. It includes most of Vienne township and parts of Rageot, Chérisy and La Rochette townships in Abitibi Territory, and parts of Barlow, and Cuvier townships in Abitibi-East electoral district. The southeastern corner of the map-area is 7 miles north- west of Chibougamau. The most practical means of access is by air from Caché lake, a hydroplane base on the Chibougamau - St. Félicien highway, 6 miles from Chi- bougamau, to any one of several lakes or to parts of Brock river. The Vienne area may also be reached by canoe along Chibougamau river, from Gwillim lake to Chevrillon lake, or along Opémisca river from Lake Opémisca. Travel within the area is facilitated by such water routes as Lac du Sauvage, Crinkle creek, Brock and Opémisca rivers, and by cut lines. The area is essentially level except in the northern part, north of Brock river, where low hills prevail. The average elevation is about 1,250 feet above the sea.

Brigham. • Da`a:......... ... S° r ~•~~~.. Situation - The area is about 125 :Niles north of nort,.,. east of • Senneterre on the C: h. R., trie boundaries being described as follows: Starting from the point where the 4' deg. 30 min. of north latitude intersects the 76 deg. west meridian for a distance of eight miles in a direction 562k deg.W; thence for a distance of 50 miles in a direction S62-z deg.W; thence for a distance of 25 miles in a direction 1,622 deg.E; thence for a distance of 50 miles in a direction S272 deg.E; thence for a distance of 17 miles in a direction 5622 deg.W. to the starting point. Accessibility - Three water routes give access to Opawika Lake. 1. Take the Bell River from Senneterre to the Mattagami Lake and from there the Waswanipi and Chibougamau rivers. There are 15 portages and many rapids which can be run or poled. This route is 250 miles long. 2. Leaving the Bell River at the Wedding River, go to the head of the Wedding River into Waswanipi Lake and up the small river which empties into. Waswanipi Lake in the south east corner. This route leads through two small lakes not shown on the Iottaway sheet into Opawika Lake. This route is about 170 miles long and except for rapid water in the Wedding River is probably the best route.

  • Copper in Quebec Gouvernement Du Quebec Department of Natural Resources
    ES 004(A) COPPER IN QUEBEC GOUVERNEMENT DU QUEBEC DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Honorable Paul-E. Allard, Minister MINES BRANCH SPECIAL PAPER 4 COPPER IN QUEBEC Compiled by G.W. WADDINGTON MINERAL DEPOSITS SERVICE QUEBEC 1969 DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Honorable Paul-E. Allard, Minister MINES BRANCH SPECIAL PAPER 4 COPPER IN QUEBEC Compiled by G.W. WADDINGTON MINERAL DEPOSITS SERVICE QUÉBEC 1969 FORENARD This compilation constitutes an inventory of copper occurrences in the Province of Quebec and, as such, belongs to the series of published monographs on metallic substances . Inventories of specific substances having given place_ in recent years to annotated bibliographies2 listing all the metallic mineralizations occurring over large tracts of the Province, the monograph on copper occurrences serves to reestablish the balance between the two types of compilations, each of which in its own style aims at a complete inventory of the metallic mineralizations of the Province. It should be noted that this monograph is based on information available in 1964 and was prepared independent of the annotated bibliographies. The first remark means that, to bring and to keep the compilation up to date, one should consult the various compilation works and geological reports published by the Department since 1964, as well as reports of the Federal Government covering the geological work done in the Province of Quebec. The second remark implies that the monograph does not necessarily contain all the copper occurrences listed in the bibliographies and vice versa; it also implies that, for a thorough inventory of the Appalachians and Northwestern Quebec, the two types of compilations must be consulted as they are complementary to each other.
