  • Community Risk Assessment
    COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Abstract This Community Risk Assessment is a component of the SLRD Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. A Community Risk Assessment is the foundation for any local authority emergency management program. It informs risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation. Section 2(1) of this regulation requires local authorities to prepare emergency plans that reflects their assessment of the relative risk of occurrence, and the potential impact, of emergencies or disasters on people and property. SLRD Emergency Program [email protected] Version: 1.0 Published: January, 2021 SLRD Community Risk Assessment SLRD Emergency Management Program Executive Summary This Community Risk Assessment (CRA) is a component of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and presents a survey and analysis of known hazards, risks and related community vulnerabilities in the SLRD. The purpose of a CRA is to: • Consider all known hazards that may trigger a risk event and impact communities of the SLRD; • Identify what would trigger a risk event to occur; and • Determine what the potential impact would be if the risk event did occur. The results of the CRA inform risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation. Section 2(1) of this regulation requires local authorities to prepare emergency plans that reflect their assessment of the relative risk of occurrence, and the potential impact, of emergencies or disasters on people and property.

  • Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02)
    GeoFile 1999-01 Metallogeny of the Bridge River Mining Camp (092J10, 15 & 092O02) Originally created as a web article in 1999, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1999 Abstract The Bridge River mining camp, known principally for gold-quartz mineralization, is remarkably similar to the Mother Lode camp of California in terms of ore mineralogy, wallrock alteration, and geological setting. In both camps, ore veins occupy major fault zones in belts of elongated serpentinite bodies flanked by granitic plutons. The camp encompasses five former mines including two large gold producers (Bralorne and Pioneer), three small producers (Wayside, Minto, and Congress), and more than 60 surrounding mineral prospects. It is underlain by Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary beds and igneous intrusions. The Bralorne intrusions and Pioneer volcanic rocks are the most consistently mineralized rocks in the area. The intrusions form small gabbro and diorite stocks aligned along the Cadwallader fault zone and in the Shulaps complex. Zircon from a coarse-grained phase of the Bralorne diorite yielded a U-Pb date of 293± 13 Ma indicating that the intrusions are among the oldest in the area. These rocks have 45-55% SiO2 (averaging 50.8%), similar to the Pioneer volcanic rocks, but have relatively high Mg and low Ti and iron oxides. The Bralorne and the Pioneer rocks are clearly discriminated on Ti versus felsic index (Qz+Or+Ab) plots. The Bralorne intrusions are further characterized by Ti/V values close to the 10 line and resemble ocean island arc magmas.

The Fraser Basin Council was asked by the SLRD to work with its Board of Directors to develop this discussion paper in order to convey, to the Provincial 2010 Olympic Bid Secretariat and others, the SLRD Board’s consensus on key investment priorities. The Board believes that there is a strong rationale in any case to address these priorities, given the outstanding assets the Region has to offer and the importance of the Region to the provincial economy. The Olympic bid is viewed by the Board as an excellent opportunity to address the priorities sooner and in a way that augments the prospects for a successful bid.

    MESO AND MICRO-SCALE ANALYSIS OF FOLIATED ROCKS OF THE SOUTHERN COAST BELT: A TRANSECT FROM WHISTLER TO LILLOOET, BRITISH COLUMBIA by Erich Victor Zorn Bachelor of Science, University of Pittsburgh, 2002 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Pittsburgh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science University of Pittsburgh 2005 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This thesis was presented by Erich Victor Zorn It was defended on August 8, 2005 and approved by Dr. Thomas Anderson, Professor Dr. William Harbert, Associate Professor Dr. Charles Jones, Lecturer Thesis Advisor: Dr. Thomas Anderson, Professor ii MESO AND MICRO-SCALE ANALYSIS OF FOLIATED ROCKS OF THE SOUTHERN COAST BELT: A TRANSECT FROM WHISTLER TO LILLOOET, BRITISH COLUMBIA Erich Victor Zorn, M.S. University of Pittsburgh, 2005 Along Duffy Lake Road (Rt. 99) between Whistler and Lillooet, British Columbia rocks of the Coast Belt commonly record penetrative deformation. Regional stratigraphy within this transect includes rocks of the Cadwallader and Bridge River terranes, as well as units of the Gambier Group, Cadwallader Group, Chism Creek Schist, Cayoosh Assemblage, Bridge River Complex/Schist and the Brew Group. Along this 110 km transect foliation generally dips 30ºNE to vertical and strikes northwest. Down-dip lineation is common in these rocks. Although they are commonly re-crystallized, locally developed microstructures preserve shear-sense indicators in sections cut parallel to dip and perpendicular to foliation. Differences among ductile structures indicate at least five episodes of deformation. 1) Early Cretaceous plutonic rocks of the eastern Western Coast Belt, which flank both sides of the Whistler shear zone, in places have foliation which strikes northeast and dips steeply.

  • The Geology of Pioneer Gold Mine Lillooet
    THE GEOLOGY OF PIONEER GOLD MINE LILLOOET MINING DIVISION, BRITISH COLUMBIA . by ALAN DAVID STANLEY B.Sc. (Special), University of London, 1956 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Department of GEOLOGY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, I960 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia, Vancouver S, Canada. ABSTRACT Pioneer gold mine is 100 miles north of Vancouver in the Bridge River area of the Lillooet Mining Division, British Columbia. The mine has been worked extensively for more than 30 years and has produced over a million ounces of gold. The gold occurs in ribboned quartz veins which average less than three feet in width and are classified as mesothermal. The gold content of the veins is variable and it occurs, with a small amount of sulphides. Gold values greater than 0.5 oz. Au/Ton are considered economic. The Pioneer mine occurs in a northwesterly trending zone, called the Cadwallader Gold Belt, formed by the Hurley-Noel formation of sedimentary rocks and the Pioneer formation of volcanic rocks.
