Also in British Columbia the Company holds six properties in the Spences Bridge Gold belt, British Columbia (the Merit, Brookmere, Ponderosa, Skoonka Creek, Prospect Valley and Nicoamen River projects), an area prospective for epithermal gold-silver deposits identified by Almaden in 2001. Below is a description of the progress achieved on each project in 2007 as well as the present exploration plans. Merit and Brookmere Projects: Drilling planned 2008 Williams Creek Explorations Ltd. (“Williams Creek”; TSX-V: WCX) holds an option to acquire a 60% interest in Almaden’s 100% owned Merit and Brookmere projects on terms whereby Williams Creek can earn an interest in either or both these properties through spending $C4 Million and issuing 1,000,000 shares of Williams Creek to Almaden by 2010. In 2007 Williams Creek conducted prospecting and stream sediment sampling on the Brookmere project and obtained permits for drilling for the Merit Project. Almaden expects Williams Creek to drill the Merit project in the summer of 2008. Ponderosa Project: Drill program completed in 2007 In 2007 Almaden optioned the Ponderosa Project to Strongbow Exploration Inc.

  • Climate Change in the Fraser River Watershed: Flow and Temperature
    Journal of Hydrology 263 52002) 230±244 www.elsevier.com/locate/jhydrol Climate change in the Fraser River watershed: ¯ow and temperature projections John Morrisona,*, Michael C. Quickb, Michael G.G. Foremanc aVynx Design Inc., Sidney, BC, Canada bDepartment of Civil Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada cInstitute of Ocean Sciences, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Sidney, BC, Canada Received 1 October 2001; revised 19 February 2002; accepted 22 March 2002 Abstract An analysis of the historic ¯ows and water temperatures of the Fraser River system has detected trends in both the annual ¯ow pro®le and the summer temperatures. This study was undertaken to determine if these trends are likely to continue under the conditions predicted by various global circulation models. To do this, existing ¯ow and temperature models were run with weather data that were derived from actual weather observations, but modi®ed using changes predicted by the global circulation models. The validity of the ¯ow model results is supported by very close agreement with the historical record. The differences between model output and the historical record for mean ¯ow, mean peak ¯ow, mean minimum ¯ow and peak ¯ow day were not statistically signi®cant; furthermore, there was only a 3±4 day shift in the occurrence of cumulative ¯ow milestones. The temperature model's mean water temperature was only 0.2 8C higher than the historical record. For the period 2070±2099, the ¯ow model predicted a modest 5% 5150 m3/s) average ¯ow increase but a decrease in the average peak ¯ow of about 18% 51600 m3/s).

  • Eocene Paleo-Physiography and Drainage Directions, Southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1
    215 Eocene paleo-physiography and drainage directions, southern Interior Plateau, British Columbia1 Selina Tribe Abstract: A map of reconstructed Eocene physiography and drainage directions is presented for the southern Interior Plateau region, British Columbia south of 53°N. Eocene landforms are inferred from the distribution and depositional paleoenvironment of Eocene rocks and from crosscutting relationships between regional-scale geomorphology and bedrock geology of known age. Eocene drainage directions are inferred from physiography, relief, and base level elevations of the sub-Eocene unconformity and the documented distribution, provenance, and paleocurrents of early Cenozoic fluvial sediments. The Eocene landscape of the southern Interior Plateau resembled its modern counterpart, with highlands, plains, and deeply incised drainages, except regional drainage was to the north. An anabranching valley system trending west and northwest from Quesnel and Shuswap Highlands, across the Cariboo Plateau to the Fraser River valley, contained north-flowing streams from Eocene to early Quaternary time. Other valleys dating back at least to Middle Eocene time include the North Thompson valley south of Clearwater, Thompson valley from Kamloops to Spences Bridge, the valley containing Nicola Lake, Bridge River valley, and Okanagan Lake valley. During the early Cenozoic, highlands existed where the Coast Mountains are today. Southward drainage along the modern Fraser, Chilcotin, and Thompson River valleys was established after the Late Miocene. Résumé : Cet article présente une carte reconstituée de la géographie physique et des directions de drainage, à l’Éocène, pour la région du plateau intérieur de la Colombie-Britannique, au sud du 53e parallèle Nord. Les formes de terrain à l’Éocène sont déduites de la distribution et du paléoenvironnement de déposition des roches de l’Éocène et à partir de relations de recoupement entre la géomorphologie à l’échelle régionale et la géologie du socle, d’âge connu.

  • 2020 – Energy and Canadian First Nations
    ENERGY AND CANADIAN FIRST NATIONS LNG - AN INTRODUCTION BC First Nations Energy and Mining Council 2020 1 1 World Energy consumption Billion Tons of Oil Equivalent Source: bp.com 2 World Energy Consumption World energy demand is increasing. Global economic growth, led primarily by China and India, is driving increasing prosperity in developing economies. Global growth is partly supported by population growth with world population increasing by around 1.7 billion to reach nearly 9.2 billion people in 2040, and the emergence of large and increasing middle classes. With an increasing middle class comes a rising standard of living. It’s this standard that drives energy demand. In the next 20 years, demand for all forms of energy will rise, led by China and India. 2 Canada and Energy 3 Canada and Energy Canada is sell positioned to provide multiple forms of energy to growing world economies. Canada is rich in oil, natural gas, coal, hydroelectricity, and nuclear energy options. Wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, biofuels: Increasingly, these forms of energy are increasingly part of Canada’s energy mix with export opportunities. Oil: Canada has the third-largest oil reserves in the world. Of the 170 billion barrels of Canadian oil that can be recovered economically with today’s technology, 165 billion barrels are located in the oil sands. The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects that Canada will be third in oil production growth until 2040, after Brazil and Iraq. Natural Gas: At current rates of consumption, Canada has enough natural gas to meet the country’s needs for 300 years, with enough remaining for export.
