INTRODUCTION Throughout this report, the term "Kelly Lake limestone deposits" refers to two limestone units (about 19 km long and up to 4 km wide) primarily within the first two mountain ridges on the southwest side of Marble Range. Most of the claims which encompass these limestone deposits were acquired by Graymont Western Canada Inc. (nee Continental Lime Ltd.) in 1992, 1993 and 1996. Others were held by BMC Lime Ltd. since the early 1970's. Three two-post claims, Stag 9 to 11, were staked by Ecowaste Industries Ltd. on the southwest side of the First Ridge in November, 2000. All of the Ecowaste and BMC claims were transferred to Graymont in 2007 for consistency of their B.C. properties. Graymont Western Canada collected and analyzed samples, and conducted geologic mapping of the Kelly Lake limestone deposits on multiple occasions from 1992 to 2005. This report describes the 2010 geologic mapping and sampling conducted on the Kelly Lake claims along First and Second ridges. The focus of exploration was to target areas that had seen only limited exploration during past programs. The geological map was compiled from the 2010 field work and from previously collected analytical and geological data. Structural measurements were obtained at stations throughout the property. A magnetic declination of 21° E was used. Attitudes of bedding and other planar features are given as A°/B° NW, where A° is the azimuth of the strike (right-hand rule) and B° is the amount of dip in the direction indicated. Where bedding has been obscured by structure, stratigraphic thicknesses were calculated using orientations from adjacent units. Where more than one bedding orientation was measured, the mean orientation was used. Throughout this report informal names have been applied to previously unnamed creeks, mountains, and other features to facilitate reference to geographic locations. A statements of work have been filed with respect to the exploration described in this report (Event Number 4820005). 1.1 GEOGRAPHIC SETTING 1.1.1 Location and Access The Kelly Lake limestone deposits are in the Intermontane Belt of southwestern British Columbia, 16 km west of the town of Clinton (Fig. 1.1). Clinton is 381 km from Vancouver via Highways 1 and 97, and 327 km via the British Columbia Railways. From Clinton, the Kelly Lake limestone deposits are easily reached by driving southwesterly on the paved Kelly Lake road which 2 parallels the BCR rail line for about 18 km and then northwesterly on the gravel Jesmond road (Fig. 1.2). Jesmond Road, which is about ½ km northeasterly from Kelly Lake, parallels the southwestern flank of Marble Range to its northern terminus and beyond. The ridge closest to Jesmond Road is termed ‘First Ridge’ and the next ridge to the northeast termed ‘Second Ridge’. Between Jesmond Road and First Ridge are two corridors for powerlines of the British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority. Local access to the Kelly Lake limestone deposits is by several four-wheel-drive (two-wheel-drive in good weather) powerline, logging and mining roads, which turn northeasterly off Jesmond Road (Fig. 1.3). At about 5½, 14 and 18 km from the Jesmond Road turnoff near Kelly Lake, are the Porcupine Creek, Lot-1284 and Trail Creek roads. The Porcupine Creek and Lot-1284 roads were originally constructed in the early 1970s for limestone exploration. At Line Creek the road to Jesmond Quarry has been washed out and the last few kilometres are accessible either by ATV or by foot. 1.1.2 Topography, Vegetation and Climate The Kelly Lake limestone deposits include two roughly parallel northwesterly trending ridges of rugged mountains cut by deep valleys with southwesterly flowing creeks. Locally precipitous cliffs rise to the tops of both First and Second ridges. First Ridge, with a maximum elevation of about 1830 m atop Dome Mountain, extends northwesterly from Two Mile Creek to just south of Trail Creek. North of Dome Mountain, First Ridge is topographically subdued and narrower than the more rugged Second Ridge. Second Ridge, with an elevation of up to 2,240 across from Dome Mountain, extends from the northern to southern extremes of the property. The areas investigated during 2010 include three locations along the middle part of Second Ridge, the northwest flank of Trail Mountain, Indecision Ridge, Bobcat Ridge and Dome Mountain, and along the northerly powerline (Fig. 1.3). Tree cover at First Ridge is sparse; it consists predominantly of stunted lodgepole pine with lesser amounts of Douglas Fir. Climate is alpine with average summer temperatures of 20° to 25°C and winter temperatures of -15° to -20°C, with extremes of 34°C and -41°C. Rainfall averages about 32 cm per year with maximum snowfall in December and January which averages 31 to 36 cm. 3 1.2 PROPERTY The Kelly Lake limestone deposits were acquired by Graymont Western Canada Inc. and its predecessor Continental Lime Ltd. in 1992, 1993 and 1996 (Fig. 1.4). BMC Lime Ltd., a subsidiary of Continental Lime Ltd., held claims in the Marble Range since the early 1970's. During 2001 three two post claims, Stag 9 to 11, were staked on the southwest side of First Ridge by Ecowaste Industries Ltd. (Table 1.1, Fig. 1.4). All of the Ecowaste and BMC tenures were transferred to Graymont in 2007.

Vancouver is consistently named as one of the top five worldwide cities for livability and quality of life and Nanaimo, known as “The Harbour City” is the gateway for other destinations on northern Vancouver Island. We highly recommend planning a day to explore each city’s landscape and culture.

    26 February, 1969 Notes on the open file report on the Bonaparte River Map Area, (92P), British Columbia, by R.B. Campbell and H.W. Tipper. The Bonaparte River map area is bounded by longitudes 1200 and 1220 West and by latitudes 510 and 520 North. The present report is based on field work carried out from 1963 to 1965. The information in this report was obtained in part from air photo interpretation and aerial reconnaissance by helicopter, but mostly from ground traverses. The informati on in the S.1H. L quarter is derived mainly from Trettin's report of 1961. PHYSIOGRAPHY Bonaparte River map area is part of the interior plateau and is sub-divided into several plateaux and highland regions. The sub-divisions are as follows: 1. Fraser Plateau which comprises about three-quarters of the map area, mainly the western part. It is essentially a flat or gently rolling region lying between 4,000 and 5,000 ft. elevation. In the sout h-west quarter the l·Tarble Range rises abruptly to 7,500 ft. The flattest part of the plateau, in the west half, is underlain by flat lying Pliocene and/or Miocene lavas. 2. The Thompson Plateau. This is distinguished from the Fraser Plateau by slightly greater relief and the absence of extensive flat lava areas. The Eastern boundary of Thompson plateau is approximately the North Thompson Valley. 'I'hompson plateau is underlain b:l folded and block faulted lat'e Palaeozoic, Mesozoic and early Tertiary volcanic sedimentary and grantiic rocks. 3. Quesnel and Shushwap Highlands.

  • Deglaciation of the Cordillera of Western Canada at the End of the Pleistocene
    Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica ISSN 0211-6820 2017 Nº 43 (2) pp. 449-466 Geographical Research Letters eISSN 1697-9540 DOI: http://doi.org/10.18172/cig.3232 © Universidad de La Rioja DEGLACIATION OF THE CORDILLERA OF WESTERN CANADA AT THE END OF THE PLEISTOCENE J.J. CLAGUE Department of Earth Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 Canada. ABSTRACT. Nearly all of what is now British Columbia and adjacent areas were covered by an ice sheet at the maximum of the Last Glaciation (MIS 2) about 18,000 years ago. By 11,000 years ago, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet had disappea- red, a victim of warming climate, eustatic sea-level rise along its western mar- gin, and perhaps a reduction in precipitation. Deglaciation proceeded by frontal retreat at the periphery of the ice sheet and by downwasting, complex frontal retreat, and localized stagnation in its interior areas. The chronology of degla- ciation is constrained, albeit with inherent dating errors, by AMS radiocarbon and 10Be surface exposure ages. High-elevation sites at the western margin of the British Columbia Interior Plateau, east of the Coast Mountains, became ice-free between about 15,000 and 12,000 years ago. Ice cover in the southern Coast Mountains was sufficiently extensive during the Younger Dryas Chronozone (12,900-11,700 years ago) that glaciers advanced into low-lying areas north and east of Vancouver. At the same time, however, a labyrinth of dead or dying tongues of glacier ice covered some interior valleys. By 11,000 years ago, ice cover in the Canadian Cordillera was no more extensive than it is today.
