April 1987 Eskay Creek Exploration Camp 1990, looking northeast. iii FOREWORD 1990 has been a year of significant change for the mineral exploration and mining industry in British Columbiaas the exploration industryadjusted to thetermination of FlowThroughSharefinancingfor exploration. The GoldenBear mine officially reached commercial production in February, the Sullivan Pb-Zn mine reopened in November after a lengthy shutdown,and theSnip mine was closedto production at yearend. Leading developments for theyear included a new trend in metals exploration with a vigorousfocus on copper-gold-porphyry systems such as Mount Milligan, Mount Polley and GaloreCreek. In addition, continued encouraging results fromthe impressive EskayCreek area in the Golden Triangle made thisthe busiest explorationarea in the Province. Claim staking inthe province continued on an upwardtrend to exceed 96000 units bythe end of December, 1990. This is anincrease of 3 per cent over 1989and reflects, inlarge part, new activity in copper-gold-porphyry exploration. Exploration continued to emphasize precious metals butthere is a growinginterest in base metals, particularlycopper and zinc. The British Columbia Geological Survey Branch againhad an active yearof field surveying withprojects in regional mapping, mineral dcpositsand regional geochemistry.Our new focus inthe area of environmental and surficial geology is reflected in many of the papers in this issue of Exp/oru/ion in Bririslt Columbia. The end of the 1985-1990 Canadiaflritish Columbia Mineral Development Agrccment has brought to a completion manyof the mapping and deposits research programs carried out under this program. This very successful program designed to assist and stimulate explorationand development in B.C. is expected to be renewed in 1991. W.R.

  • The Rockies of Colorado
    THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO BY EVELIO ECHEVARRfA C. (Three illustrations: nos. 9- II) OLORADO has always been proud of its mountains and rightly so; it is often referred to in the Union as 'the mountain state', about 6o per cent of its area is mountainous, and contains fifty-four peaks over 14,ooo ft. and some three hundred over 13,000 ft. Further, its mountaineering history has some unique aspects. And yet, Colorado's mountains have been seldom mentioned in mountaineering journals; if in modern times they may have deserved a passing mention it has been because of a new route on Long's Peak. But on the whole, the Rockies of Colorado are almost unrecorded in the mountaineering world abroad. In this paper, an effort has been made to outline briefly the characteris­ tics of this area, and to review its mountaineering past; a few personal experiences are also added. The mountains of Colorado belong almost completely to the Rocky Mountain range of North America; a few outliers are sometimes mentioned as independent lesser chains, but in features and heights they are unimportant. The Rockies of Colorado are grouped into a number of ranges (see sketch-map), some of which are actually prolongations of others. Some­ what loosely and with some injustice to precise geography, they can be grouped into ten important sections. The state of Colorado is a perfect rectangle in shape; the Rockies enter into its western third from Wyoming, to the north, and split, then, into two parallel chains which unite in the centre of the state.

  • High Country Climbs Peaks
    HighHig Countryh Country Cl iClimbsmbs The San Juan Mountains surrounding Telluride are among Colorado’s most beautiful and historic peaks. This chapter records some of the Telluride region’s most classic alpine rock routes. Warning: These mountain routes are serious undertakings that should only be attempted by skilled, experienced climbs. Numerous hazards—loose rock, severe lightning storms, hard snow and ice and high altitudes—will most likely be encountered. Come Prepared: An ice axe and crampons are almost always necessary for the approach, climb or descent from these mountains. Afternoon storms are very common in the summertime, dress accordingly. Loose rock is everpre- sent, wearing a helmet should be considered. Rating Mountain Routes: Most routes in this section are rated based on the traditional Sierra Club system. Class 1 Hiking on a trail or easy cross-country Class 2 Easy scrambling using handholds Class 3 More difficult and exposed scrambling, a fall could be serious Class 4 Very exposed scrambling, a rope may be used for belaying or short-roping, a fall would be serious Class 5 Difficult rockclimbing where a rope and protection are used Route Descriptions: The routes recorded here are mostly long scrambles with countless variations possible. Detailed route descriptions are not pro- vided; good routefinding skills are therefore required. Routes described are for early to mid-summer conditions. The Climbing Season: Climbers visit these mountains all year, but the main climbing season runs from June through September. Late spring through early summer is the best time, but mid-summer is the most popular. Less snow and more loose rock can be expected in late summer.
