MCP No 02-E.Cdr Silica Natural Resources Lands, Minerals and Petroleum Division Mineral Commodity Profile No. 2 ilicon (Si) is the second most common element on Earth after World Production and Reserves Soxygen. Si does not occur naturally in its pure state but instead is found chiefly in mineral form as either silica (SiO2) or silicates. Silica Silica deposits occur, and are mined, in most and/or silicate minerals are a constituent of nearly every rock type in countries. Global silica output is estimated at Earth's crust. roughly 120 Mt to 150 Mt per year (Dumont 2006). The most familiar silica mineral is quartz. In commodity terms, silica About 5.9 Mt of ferrosilicon were produced also refers to geological deposits enriched in quartz and/or other silica worldwide in 2006. The major contributors were minerals. Silica resources include 1) poorly consolidated quartzose China, Russia, United States, Brazil and South sand and gravel, 2) quartz sand/pebbles in consolidated rock (e.g. Africa (U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] 2006). quartzose sandstone), 3) quartzite , and 4) quartz veins. Global production of silicon metal reportedly Uses approached 1.2 Mt in 2006, almost half of which came from China (USGS 2006). Other important Silica is hard, chemically inert, has a high melting point, and functions producers are the United States, Brazil, Norway, as a semiconductor—characteristics that give it many industrial France, Russia, South Africa and Australia. applications. Silica deposits generally must be processed to remove iron, clay and other impurities.

Mineral Commodity Profile No. 2 Silica / 1 Silica Exploration and Mining in New Brunswick New Brunswick's quartzose sandstones were quarried for decades as dimension stone, millstone and grindstone material. Quartz veins in the province were (and still are) prospected regularly for gold. However, siliceous rocks in New Brunswick received little attention for their silica potential until the mid-1960s. In the early 1960s, the planned opening of a base-metal smelter at Belledune in northeastern New Brunswick prompted developers to examine a silica deposit at nearby Bass River (Fig. 1) in anticipation of selling smelter flux. The Bass River quarry was opened in 1974 and two years later was acquired by Chaleur Silica Inc. The company supplied >90% SiO2 flux to the Belledune smelter from 1976 until 1986. As well, it regularly shipped other silica products to local consumers. Silica extraction at Bass River ended in 1992, five years after Chaleur Silica lost its smelter contract. L.E. Shaw Limited of Nova Scotia acquired the property in 1992 but has yet to reactivate the operation (Webb 2006).

The Petitcodiac River causeway (“causeway”) is a gated dam structure with an installed vertical slot fishway that was built across the Petitcodiac River between the City of Moncton and the Town of Riverview. Figure 1 shows the location of the Petitcodiac River and Figure 2 shows an aerial view of the causeway. Completed in 1968, the causeway was intended to create a second transportation link between the two communities, offer flood protection for farmland between the causeway and the head of tide at Salisbury, and create a freshwater headpond with potential for recreation and as an industrial water source. A bridge would have achieved the transportation objective, but not the other benefits. As early as 1961, it was recognized by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (“DFO”) that fish passage would be an issue if a causeway was built across the Petitcodiac River. Consequently, DFO required that a fishway be included in the structure. However, the construction of the causeway with the fishway resulted in fish passage issues from the outset. The fishway proved ineffective for all fish species that require passage for life cycle purposes, including the Inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic salmon that is now also protected under the Species at Risk Act because of declining numbers.

    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.

WILLIAMSON, Controller OTTAWA, CANADA 43910—U FORT BEAUSËJOUR NATIONAL PARK NEW BRUNSWICK Introduction HE site of old Fort Beauséjour, located on the long ridge between the Aulac and Missaguash rivers, and over­ Tlooking Chignecto Bay, forms one of the most interest­ ing historical places in New Brunswick. The fort was originally constructed by the French between 1751 and 1755 on the orders of de la Jonquière, Governor of Canada, as a counter defence against the English Fort Lawrence, which stood on a parallel ridge about a mile and half to the south­ east. It derived its name from an early settler, Laurent Chatillon, surnamed Beauséjour, after whom the southern end of the ridge had been named Pointe-à-Beauséjour. In 1755, before its actual completion, Fort Beauséjour was attacked by an expedition from Boston under the com­ mand of Colonel the Honourable Robert Monckton. Landing at the mouth of the Missaguash river, the English force, which numbered about 2,000 New Englanders, encamped at Fort Lawrence before marching on the fort, being joined there by 300 British regulars. Following the capture of an outpost at Pont à Buot, heavy guns and mortars were landed from the boats, gun-emplacements were dug over 800 yards north of the fort, and a heavy fire was opened on the fortifi­ cations by the batteries.
