Geology of the Scimitar Lake Area The Flin Flon Targeted Geoscience Initiative 3: Update on the Quaternary Sub-Project Activities J.E. Campbell and I. McMartin 1 Campbell, J.E. and McMartin, I. (2008): The Flin Flon Targeted Geoscience Initiative 3: update on the Quaternary sub-project activities; in Summary of Investigations 2008, Volume 2, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Ministry of Energy and Resources, Misc. Rep. 2008-4.2, CD-ROM, Paper A-6, 11p. Abstract This report presents the 2008-09 activities conducted in Saskatchewan as part of the Quaternary component of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative 3 (TGI-3) Flin Flon Project. These activities include: a cross-border compilation and synthesis of till compositional data, a glacial history framework, and a surficial geology compilation at 1:500 000 scale for the greater TGI-3 project area. In Saskatchewan, this area is bordered by the Wathaman Batholith to the north and west, the Manitoba border to the east, and the edge of the Precambrian Shield to the south. Several multi-element anomalies were identified in the 2007 and 2008 joint Geological Survey of Canada/Sask. Ministry of Energy and Resources Open File reports which contain geochemical results of archived Saskatchewan Research Council till samples covering the TGI-3 project area in Saskatchewan. A number of these anomalous areas were selected for further investigations. The Settee Lake and Black Bear Island Lake areas were re-sampled this past summer to investigate the nature of the anomalies and to determine their potential interest to mineral exploration. Ice-flow indicators were also mapped in these re-sampled areas. Ice-flow indicator mapping was carried out along Highways 102 and 905 to fill in areas lacking data and to confirm the relative ages of multiple flow directions recorded on existing maps. The main ice-flow direction is to the south-southwest and overprints older westward and south-eastward flow directions. Interpretation of ice-flow indicator landforms and other glacial features from SRTM2 DEM and SPOT imagery is underway for nine 1:250 000 NTS maps sheets to augment the ice-flow indicator compilation. Keywords: TGI-3, Flin Flon Project, till geochemistry, ice-flow history, surficial geology. 1. Introduction Initiated in 2005, the Flin Flon Targeted Geoscience Initiative 3 (TGI-3) is a collaboration between the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources (SMER), the Manitoba Geological Survey (MGS), and industry partners. It was designed to help in the discovery of new reserves of base metals in vulnerable established mining communities of the Trans-Hudson Orogen in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Quaternary sub-project area in Saskatchewan encompasses the Rottenstone, La Ronge, Kisseynew, Glennie, and Flin Flon domains (Figure 1). It is bordered by the Wathaman Batholith to the north and west, and by Phanerozoic cover to the south. The Quaternary component of this project will contribute directly to improving the geoscience knowledge of targeted established mining districts and promoting base metal exploration in the region outside the historic Flin Flon mining camp by providing a trans-jurisdictional compilation and synthesis of till composition, a regional ice-flow interpretation, and a surficial geology compilation at 1:500 000 scale. The objective is to outline regions with potential for mineralization, identify areas for more detailed drift sampling, and provide the geologic framework for implementation of successful detailed drift prospecting programs. The intent of this report is to provide an update of current activities in Saskatchewan being conducted as part of the Quaternary sub-project. 2. Previous TGI-3 Quaternary Work As a first step in building a trans-jurisdictional database of till composition across the various bedrock domains, 673 archived till samples collected by the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) in the 1970s were analyzed in 2006 and 2007 for texture and major and trace elements. These till samples were taken from the C- or lower B-soil 1 Natural Resources Canada, Northern Canada Division, Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0E8.

Figure 1, blue outline) were published in 2007 as GSC Open File 5464/ Saskatchewan Industry and Resources Open File 2007-13 (McMartin et al., 2007). The data for the second set of SRC’s archived samples, which were collected in the La Ronge and Rottenstone domains in Saskatchewan (cf.

Work Components, and Products Seven tasks were identified for work in Saskatchewan during the 2008-09 fiscal year: 1) Confirm selected multi-element anomalous areas identified by geochemical analysis of archived SRC till samples by re-sampling surface till in those areas; 2) Geochemical and indicator mineral analysis of the 2008 till samples collected in Saskatchewan; 3) Map ice-flow indicators at regional and detailed scales in selected areas to confirm age relationships and ice- flow directions, and collect new data in areas lacking information; 4) Calibration of surficial map units used in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and finalize a common legend for the cross-border 1:500 000-scale surficial geology compilation; 5) Continue synthesis of regional glacial history and till provenance based on carbonate dispersal, ice-flow indicators, and glacial stratigraphy; 6) Undertake a calibration study for cross-border till compilation and data integration of till datasets for Saskatchewan and Manitoba; and 7) Release a digital cross-border database of ice-flow indicators. Saskatchewan Geological Survey 3 Summary of Investigations 2008, Volume 2 a) Multi-element Anomalies Several local-scale, multi-element anomalous glacial dispersal patterns were identified in the geochemical analysis of the archived SRC till samples. These anomalous areas require more detailed drift sampling to determine their potential implications for mineral exploration (McMartin et al., 2007, 2008). Two of these areas were chosen for follow-up field work to validate the initial geochemical results and to explain the nature of the anomalies (Figure 3). The two areas are: 1) An elongated south-southwest–trending Zn (±Al2O3-Ge-Mo-V) dispersal train that occurs in the Settee Lake area within the southwestern Kisseynew Domain (former MacLean Lake Belt). Zn (after partial digestion) anomalies best outline a regional Zn dispersal train in the Settee Lake area (McMartin et al., 2007) (Figure 3). 2) Elevated Ag-Bi-Cu-Ga-Mo-Nb-Pb-Sb-Sn-Zn, Fe2O3-MnO-TiO2, and Ce-Dy-Gd concentrations are found in a group of till samples located in the southwestern Rottenstone Domain on either sides of the Churchill River. Pb (after partial digestion), illustrates the regional multi-element enrichment located along and north of the Churchill River (Figure 1) (McMartin et al., 2008). Elevated concentrations of Cu, Ni, Zn and other elements also highlight this region as anomalous (Figure 3). The Settee Lake Zn–multi-element anomaly was re-sampled in more detail. Observations were collected at 24 sites over and up-ice from the Zn dispersal train. Nine C-horizon bulk till samples (five repeats and four new sites) were collected, and striae were mapped along the shores of Settee and Hornet lakes. A sample was collected of sulphidized biotite-rich sediments from a known Cu, minor Zn showing (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (SMDI) 0892) which is located in the middle of the dispersal train (Figure 4). The chemistry of mineralized rock will be compared to the chemistry and pebble lithology of the till to determine if this occurrence contributed to the dispersal train. Other known outcropping Zn mineralizations are found in the Brabant Lake area (SMDI 0446, 0461, and 0447) approximately 30 km to the northeast of Settee Lake.

Topics include climate, geology, terrestrial ecology, groundwater, surface water and aquatic ecology. These topics are discussed at a regional scale, with some topics being more focused on the road corridor area (i.e., the two route options). Information included in this section was obtained in full or part from direct field observations as well as from reports, files, publications, and/or personal communications from the following sources: Saskatchewan Research Council Canadian Wildlife Service Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board Reports Saskatchewan Museum of Natural History W.P. Fraser Herbarium Saskatchewan Environment Saskatchewan Conservation Data Centre Environment Canada Private Sector (Consultants) Miscellaneous publications 4.2 PHYSIOGRAPHY Both proposed routes straddle two different ecozones. The southern portion is located in the Wollaston Lake Plain landscape area within the Churchill River Upland ecoregion of the Boreal Shield ecozone. The northern portion is located in the Nueltin Lake Plain landscape area within the Selwyn Lake Upland ecoregion of the Taiga Shield ecozone (Figure 4.1). (SKCDC, 2002a; Acton et al., 1998; Canadian Biodiversity, 2004; MDH, 2004). Wollaston Lake lies on the Precambrian Shield in northern Saskatchewan and drains through two outlets. The primary Wollaston Lake discharge is within the Hudson Bay Drainage Basin, which drains through the Cochrane River, Reindeer Lake and into the Churchill River system which ultimately drains into Hudson Bay. The other drainage discharge is via the Fond du Lac River to Lake Athabasca, and thence to the Arctic Ocean.

  • Creighton-Flin Flon
    Flin Flon Domain of Saskatchewan – Dataset Descriptions The Flin Flon domain hosts one of the most prolific Precambrian volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) districts in the world, with over 160 million tonnes of ore produced from at least 28 deposits in Saskatchewan and Manitoba since the start of the 20th century. Situated in the Reindeer Zone of the of the Trans-Hudson Orogen, rocks of this domain comprise dominantly metamorphosed and polydeformed volcanoplutonic terranes with subordinate siliciclastic sedimentary sequences. Volcanic rocks vary in composition throughout the domain and were originally emplaced in a variety of tectonic settings, including island arc(s), arc rift, ocean floor, and ocean pleateau. The VMS deposits are hosted primarily by Paleoproterozoic juvenile arc rocks in one of several defined lithotectonic assemblages. The datasets provided for this area are located within a ~12,000 km2 area of the Flin Flon Domain of Saskatchewan that contains several past producing base metal mines and a multitude of known mineral occurrences. The northern quarter of the area is underlain by exposed Precambrian Shield, whereas the southern three-quarters consists of Precambrian basement situated beneath up to 200 metres of undeformed, Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks. The sedimentary cover in this southern portion makes exploration of the Precambrian rocks particularly challenging. The datasets provided for this area consist of: (i) airborne geophysical survey data, and (ii) multiple GIS datasets from the exposed Precambrian Shield and/or the buried Precambrian basement and/or the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover. The geophysical data comprises digital data for 22 airborne surveys including industry-derived data submitted to the Saskatchewan Geological Survey through assessment work reports, and surveys funded by provincial and federal governments.

    Stratigraphy, Structure, and Silicification: New Results From Mapping in the Flin Flon Mining Camp, Creighton, Saskatchewan Kate MacLachlan MacLachlan (2006): Stratigraphy, structure, and silicification: new results from mapping in the Flin Flon Mining Camp, Creighton, Saskatchewan; in Summary of Investigations Volume 2, 2006, Saskatchewan Geological Survey, Sask. Industry Resources, Misc. Rep. 2006-4.2, CD-ROM, Paper A-9, 25p. Abstract Two areas in the Flin Flon mining camp were mapped at a scale of 1:5000, one area between Douglas Lake and West Arm Road on the west limb of the Beaver Road Anticline, and the other on the peninsula between Green Lake and Phantom Lake. In the Douglas Lake area, mapping was undertaken in the hanging wall of the west-younging, felsic-dominated Myo member of the Flin Flon formation. Significant findings include, an extrusive felsic unit above the upper contact of the Myo member, abundant peperite at several stratigraphic levels, an up to 100 m wide zone of semi-conformable silicification, and pervasive sinistral shearing that post-dates the Phantom Intrusive Suite. In the Green Lake Peninsula area, three fault-bounded successions with opposing younging directions were recognized. The easternmost succession, east of the newly defined Burley Lake Fault (a modified version of the Phantom Lake Fault), is part of the west-younging Louis formation on the east limb of the Burley Lake Syncline. The east-younging succession between the Burley Lake and Green Lake faults comprises a large component of fine- grained mafic volcaniclastic rocks intercalated with aphyric and plagioclase ± pyroxene porphyritic flows, and is tentatively correlated with the Hidden formation.

(date ) AESTRACT This study is concerned with the persistence of human life on the edge of the Canadian Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan make up the largest distinct linguistic and cultural group and are the most easterly among the Northern Athapaskan Indians, or Dene. Over many centuries, the Chipewyan have maintained a form of social life as an edge-of-the-forest people and people of the Barren Grounds to the west of Hudson Bay. The particular aim of this thesis is to attempt, through a survey of the ecological and historical 1iterature , to elucidate something of the traditional adaptive pattern of the Chipewyan in their explcitation of the subarc tic envirorient . Given the fragmentary nature of much of the historical evidence, our limited understanding of the subarctic environment, and the fact that the Chipewyan oecumene (way of looking at life) is largely denied to the modern observer, we acknowledge that this exercise in ecological and historical reconstruction is governed by serious hazards and limitations.
