TROY MCMULLIN1* AND LYNDSEY SHARP2 ABSTRACT. – A new exsiccati is initiated, Lichens of Canada, disseminated by the National Herbarium of Canada (CANL) at the Canadian Museum of Nature. Thirty-one sets of 25 species from the Hudson Bay Lowlands in northern Ontario and Salt Spring Island in British Columbia are distributed to: B, BG, C, CANB, COLO, DUKE, E, EWU, FH, FR, GZU, H, HMAS, KANU, LD, M, MSC, NBM, NFLD, NY, O, OSU, PMAE, QFA, S, SWSG, TNS, TU, UBC, UPS, WIS. KEYWORDS. – Biodiversity, fungi, lichenology, mycology, natural history collections, scheda. INTRODUCTION Exsiccati are identically numbered sets of dried specimens distributed to herbaria (Sayre 1969, 1971). Their purpose is to disseminate material from particular areas, or of specific groups of taxa, for examination by researchers in other parts of the world (Stafleu 1972, Stevenson 1971). An exchange of duplicate specimens serves a similar function and is often done instead of exsiccati. The benefit of exsiccati however, is that sets are consistent and provide an alternative to sorting through herbaria to locate specimens from a particular region since they are all in one place and usually organised in a catalogue. In Canada, two exsiccati that contain lichens have been distributed in the past by the National Herbarium of Canada (CANL) at what is now the Canadian Museum of Nature. The first, ‘Canadian Lichens’, was prepared by John Macoun and disseminated in two series. Culberson (1959) and Brodo (1971), however, do not consider Macoun’s sets to be proper exsiccati because locality data and dates were often missing and the material in each set was not consistent. The second one issued, Lichenes Canadenses Exsiccati, was distributed in four fascicles and included 250 numbers (Brodo 1971, 1977, 1984; Brodo & Wong 1993). A third set of exsiccati of note was also distributed, “Lichenes Arctici”, by John Thomson, which included many lichens from the Canadian Arctic. A new exsiccati series is initiated here, Lichens of Canada, distributed by CANL and produced by the Lichenology Section of the Canadian Museum of Nature. New numbers will be issued regularly consisting of specimens collected throughout the country. Specimens in this fascicle were collected in the Hudson Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario (23 species) and Salt Spring Island in British Columbia (2 species) by the first author. MATERIALS AND METHODS Identifications. – We identified specimens with light microscopy and standard chemical spot tests with paraphenylenediamine in ethyl alcohol, nitric acid, sodium hypochlorite, 10% and 20% potassium hydroxide, and Lugol’s iodine (Brodo et al. 2001). We further examined the chemistry using an ultraviolet light chamber. For specimens that could not be identified by morphology, chemical spot tests, or ultraviolet light, we examined the chemistry using thin-layer chromatography following Culberson and Kristinsson (1970) in solvents A, B′, and C. 1R.

The first was for material that required pressing. We softened the lichens with deionized water until pliable. After dividing the material into appropriate sizes for packets, we pressed them between newsprint and corrugated cardboard until dry (1-3 days). The second method was for material on soil. To prevent the soil from breaking apart, we used a 4-1 mixture of Weldbond Universal Adhesive (white PVA glue) and deionized water. The mixture was applied using a paintbrush over the bottom surface and lower edges of specimens and then dried with the lower surface facing up. Lastly, specimens on lignum or branches were cut to appropriate lengths to fit into packets using pruning shears. We then placed all specimens on UV negative, acid-free cardboard cards, lined with natural, unbleached cotton batting. Specimens that we glued down were affixed with Weldbond Universal Adhesive. We placed the mounted specimens in pure cotton, acid-free paper packets. DATA FOR FASCICLE I – NUMBERS 1-25 1. Letharia vulpina (L.) Hue Det. R.T. McMullin, 2016 CANADA. BRITISH COLUMBIA.

It is a magmatic sulfide deposit hosted by mafic and ultramafic rocks interpreted to be a feeder conduit beneath an extensive complex of sills and related volcanic rocks, which range in composition from dunite through ferrogabbro to rhyolite. The complex, called the Ring of Fire, has been dated at 2734.5 ± 1.0 Ma and it was emplaced into 2773.37 ± 0.9 Ma felsic plutonic rocks. The felsic rocks form a sill complex structurally beneath metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks con- sidered to have formed along a passive margin at ca. 2800 Ma within the Oxford-Stull domain of the North Caribou superterrane in the Archean Superior province. In its original configuration, the Eagle’s Nest deposit formed in a shallowly plunging or subhorizontal keel structure at the base of a dike-like chonolith, but subsequent deformation has turned it into a vertically plung- ing rod of sulfide mineralization along the northwestern margin of a north-south–striking dike.

  • 1 Introduction
    Webequie Supply Road Environmental Assessment Draft Terms of Reference 1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to present the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Webequie First Nation Supply Road Project (“Webequie Supply Road”, “WSR”, “the Project”) to meet the requirements of the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EA Act). The ToR is a document that establishes the framework for the planning and decision-making process during the Environmental Assessment (EA) and is submitted by the proponent to the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) for review and approval. Alongside the ToR document, material to be submitted for the public record includes the Record of Consultation, which is a stand-alone written record that documents the engagement of and consultation with Indigenous (First Nation and Métis) communities, government agencies, the public, and stakeholders during the development of the ToR, including feedback received (comments, concerns, questions) and project team responses. The proposed Webequie Supply Road is a new all-season road of approximately 107 km in length from Webequie First Nation to the mineral deposit area near McFaulds Lake (also referred to as the Ring of Fire). A Location Plan for the Project is shown on Figure 1.1. The preliminary corridor for the road consists of a northwest-southeast segment running 51 km from Webequie First Nation to a 56 km segment running east before terminating near McFaulds Lake. A total of 17 km of the corridor is within Webequie First Nation Reserve lands. Based on the scale and complexity of the Project, and the potential for significant environmental effects, an Individual Environmental Assessment must be completed for approval under the EA Act.

  • 6 Existing Environmental Conditions
    Webequie Supply Road Environmental Assessment Terms of Reference 6 Existing Environmental Conditions This section describes the existing environmental conditions in the project area (refer to Figure 1.1) and the proposed approach to data collection to develop a fulsome understanding of the existing (or baseline) natural, socio-economic and cultural conditions for the Project. The EA will adopt a multi-scale approach for describing existing environmental conditions and predicting effects from the Project. As such, study areas will be used to define the geographic extent within which to capture the potential direct and indirect effects of the Project. The preliminary study area definitions for the purposes of the EA are provided in Section 8.1. 6.1 General Environmental Setting The Project is located in Northwestern Ontario, with the northern end of the road approximately 525 km northeast of Thunder Bay (refer to Figure 1.1). The Project is located on provincial Crown land, Webequie First Nation Reserve land under federal jurisdiction, and the traditional territories of Indigenous communities (refer also to Section 6.4.6 Land and Resource Use). Figure 6.1 illustrates the location of the alternative routes in relation to project area features and sensitivities. Due to confidentiality constraints (including those imposed by Webequie First Nation and Government of Ontario ministries), and the need to respect the wishes of potentially affected Indigenous communities with respect to divulging certain information on the use of lands in the project area, it is not possible to illustrate the location or bounds of a number of features and sensitivities, including First Nations’ traditional territories, individual camps/cabins, species at risk observations and government-regulated hunting areas (e.g., trapline licences).

  • Annual Report for the Year Ended December 31, 2020
    ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Fellow shareholders, Despite dealing with the COVID-19 global pandemic for much of the year, Noront was able to advance many of its key files, support a transformational strategic investment and conduct an exciting season of exploration work while ensuring the health and safety of all our employees. The highlight of this past year was the addition of Wyloo Metals as our cornerstone investor. Wyloo, which is one of Australia’s largest investment funds, bought all the equity, debt and royalties that Resource Capital Funds formerly held in Noront. Wyloo’s goal is to make strategic, long-term investments in commodities that will empower a decarbonized future. Noront’s nickel, copper, zinc and chrome assets were a key driver of their substantial investment. We look forward to working with Wyloo to bring projects in the Ring of Fire to fruition and take our commodities to market. Alongside this financial progress, our work continued with the provincial government and local First Nations to advance development of a road network into the Ring of Fire. These community-led, all-season road projects achieved important milestones with the filing of provincial environmental assessment terms of reference and the issuance of federal impact statement guidelines. Upgrades also continued on an existing forestry road which will serve as the initial leg of the new road corridor. We believe that having First Nation communities with traditional land use as the proponents of regional infrastructure is a bold and forward-looking way to ensure their alignment and participation.
