Based on the process, mineralogy and structure of the typical lode gold deposit, the most efficient and cost effective exploration procedure is described. Interpretation of airborne magnetic maps over favourable geological terrane is the primary tool. Utilizing the latest airborne magnetic maps, the writer interpreted the structural geology of a substantial area between Matheson and the Quebec boundary, part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Thereafter, the results were compared with published geological maps. Upon finding an untested area demonstrating high potential for gold mineralization, previous work in the immediate area was reviewed in the search for support for the choice. The essential research and interpretation is shown on the attached Figures. Finally, ground acquisition was commissioned. LOCATJON AND ACCESS Moody Township is located a few kilometres west of Lake Abitibi in northeastern Ontario. Two claims, 4254581 and 4254668, held by the writer, in the centre ofMoody Township, form the property which consists of24 sixteen hectare units (960 acres). The so-called Trans Quebec road starts at Iroquois Falls. To access the property, drive south 18 kilometres on an old haulage road from the 54 km marker on the Trans Quebec road. PREVIOUS WORK Across central Moody Township at least 40 diamond drill holes and 20 overburden holes have been drilled over the past 40 years. Initially, companies such as Inco and Texas Gulf formulated programs in the search for base metals. Later, Utah Mines Ltd, Glen Auden Resources and others were focused on the search for gold. Presumably, with a glacio­ fluvial direction trending northwest, parallel to the Arejay fault, the Moody belt of favourable rocks was considered to be a likely source for the gold bearing glacial float to the southeast. East of the property, mainly south of Traill Lake, Utah Mines Ltd conducted the most ambitious program including ground geophysics, overburden drilling and some 30 diamond drill holes. South ofTraill Lake, drill holes intersected strongly altered rocks containing mariposite fuchsite, which in the Kirkland Lake camp is associated with gold mineralization. These holes are not plotted on the plan. It is reported that up to 3 grams of gold was intersected in the drilling. 3 Within the property, Glen Auden Resources and Mistango River Mines drilled at least five holes. As indicated on the plan these holes are well outside the areas considered to be favourable for gold mineralization. The positioning of the Arejay fault, interpreted from the airborne magnetics, is supported by an intersection of graphitic argillite in Glen Auden hole 91-4. Similarly, a hole by Utah just south of Traill Lake intersected intensely altered serpentinized peridotite, thereby confirming the thrust fault extending west across the property area. In 1988, Glen Auden commissioned an airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey by Questor. This survey covers the favourable belt of rocks striking across central Moody Township and the property. A well defined faulted conductor coincides with the interpreted thrust fault through the property and over to Trailllake. Most of the conductors within the survey area were interpreted by the geophysicists to dip north. Similarly, the latest government survey, which this report is based on, indicates that the assemblage dips north. Nevertheless, almost all of the drill holes were drilled north. FORMA TTON OF A GOLD DEPOSIT* TN THE ABTTTBT The model to follow is based on the writer's 50 years experience in production and exploration. Understanding the model is essential to the cost efficient search for a viable gold deposit, particularly in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, where the overburden is deep and extensive. The model should be considered as a general concept that explains the formation of most but not necessarily all gold mineralized zones. It provides a critical path in the planuing of grassroots and secondary exploration. The dominant force in the formation of major and minor structures, including gold deposit structures in the Abitibi, is a near horizontal compression in a north - south direction. This force is a cyclical one taking place over tens of millions of years and is complicated by depth of rock assemblage and extreme temperature variation. Subsequent to the development of isoclinal folding and easterly trending deep-seated thrust faults along the boundaries of major rock assemblages, continued periodic compressive force results in the formation of cross faults and ultimately structures controlling the gold mineralization which vary in complexity. It should be noted that even using laboratory dating techniques, the concept of time involved with these processes is difficult to comprehend. Evidence for a period of formation, amounting to tens of millions of years, include observation of differing generations of mineral deposition, reflected by quartz - carbonate vein ladder structures, etc. As indicated by comparatively minor disruption of the typical gold deposit, perhaps some cross faulting, the gold deposition takes place near the end of the overall deformation process. 4 In many instances the initial stage in the process is one wherein the incompetent potential host rock undergoes a preparatory process. Hydrothermal gases-solutions are injected into a low pressure trap and permeate the adjoining super hot adjoining rock. On cooling the rock is carbonatized, forming a competent unit which with subsequent stress, fractures. This same process may also account for the conversion of magnetite, if present, into pyrite and other iron bearing sulphides. Thus the host rock of the yet to be formed gold deposit becomes an anomalous magnetic low. Carbonatization is not necessary or involved for competent host rocks, which include a variety of felsic to intermediate intrusives. The next and subsequent cycles of compression and heat generation results in fracture and fault openings, followed by the introduction of various mineral components. In many deposits there is evidence for several cycles of mineral introduction followed by one or two fmal pulses wherein the gold and accessory, dominantly sulphide minerals, are introduced. These sulphides which may include pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and arsenopyrite are intimately associated with gold which may form a solid solution with some sulphides. In many deposits, particularly lode type, it is observed that most of the gold and sulphides is present within less than a metre of deposit contact. The central portion of the lode, over several metres, composed of quartz, carbonate, and tourmaline, etc. contains much less gold. Also, at the deposit contact, the gold is often associated with an alteration mineral such as sericite or fuchsite, a derivative of various feldspars. The various structures hosting the gold deposition are situated adjacent to major deep seated easterly trending breaks which form buttresses for the north-south compression. The gold deposition may occur north or south of the easterly trending breaks, but for whatever reason, more and better mineralized zones are situated north of the known major breaks. The major breaks do not host gold deposits but it is evident because of their proximity to the deposit that portions of the faults have formed conduits for the cyclical hydrothermal injection. The fmal compressive force accounts for the disruption of the deposits. Underground mapping reveals much more faulting than in the two dimensional surface exposure. Faults may trend northeast, northwest and occasionally north and are quite predictable. • A deposit which has the potential to form a mine 5 SEARCHING FOR A GOLD DEPOSIT Few gold deposits display mineralogical characteristics that allow them to be directly detected by geophysical methods. Fewer than one often gold mineralized zones contain sufficient sulphides that would allow them to be detected by electromagnetic or even induced polarization survey methods. Nevertheless, such techniques are commonly used. In several instances electromagnetic surveys led indirectly to the discovery of important deposits because the conductors represent an easterly trending thrust fault adjacent to a mineralized zone. Similarly, geochemical surveys, wherein surface soil samples are analyzed for pathfmder metals or gold, have provided only minimal assistance in finding targets. Considering the major influence of glaciation in the Abitibi, such is understandable. Some form of the airborne magnetic vertical gradient survey is the basic exploration tool. These surveys are more accurate than a ground survey and the tightly constrained magnetic features, representing rock units, enable a very good interpretation of the structural geology. Undertaken

  • Growth Responses of Riparian Thuja Occidentalis to the Damming of a Large Boreal Lake
    53 Growth responses of riparian Thuja occidentalis to the damming of a large boreal lake Bernhard Denneler, Yves Bergeron, Yves Be´ gin, and Hugo Asselin Abstract: Growth responses of riparian eastern white cedar trees (Thuja occidentalis L.) to the double damming of a large lake in the southeastern Canadian boreal forest was analyzed to determine whether the shoreline tree limit is the result of physiological flood stress or mechanical disturbances. The first damming, in 1915, caused a rise in water level of ca. 1.2 m and resulted in the death of the trees that formed the ancient shoreline forest, as well as the wounding and tilting of the surviving trees (by wave action and ice push) that constitute the present forest margin. The second damming, in 1922, did not further affect the water level, but did retard the occurrence of spring high water levels, as well as reduce their magnitude. However, this did not injure or affect the mortality of riparian eastern white cedars. Radial growth was not affected by flooding stress, probably because inundation occurred prior to the start of the growing season (1915–1921) or was of too short duration to adversely affect tree metabolism (after 1921). It follows that (i) the shoreline limit of east- ern white cedar is a mechanical rather than a physiological limit, and (ii) disturbance-related growth responses (e.g., ice scars, partial cambium dieback, and compression wood) are better parameters than ring width for the reconstruction of long-term water level increases of natural, unregulated lakes. Key words: compression wood, eastern white cedar, flooding, ice scars, mortality, partial cambium dieback.

  • Lake Temagami and the Northern Experience
    3 LAKE TEMAGAMI AND THE NORTHERN EXPERIENCE Diana Lynn Gordon Department of Anthropology McMaster University My current research in Ontario archaeology is centred on the analysis and interpretation of the Three Pines Site (Druid's Cove) CgHa-6, a multi-component sHe on Lake Temagami in northeastern Ontario. Lake Temagami is located 50 miles north of the city of North Bay. This paper title: Lake Temagami and the Northern Experience, caused me to reflect on how this current work has been influenced by my previous experiences in prehistoric archaeology and ethnoarchaeology in Boreal Forest regi,QP.s of Subarctic Ontario and Quebec. In this paper, I would like to give an impression of what it is like to do archaeology in the northern forest, show how I have approached re§earch on Lake Temagami, and indicate how this current work has developed out of my own earlier northern experiences. Now, for some people, Northern Ontario starts around Barrie, while others consider Arctic Canada to be the true North. My interest falls somewhere in between in the Subarctic Boreal Forest and the northern limits of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Mixed Forest. In 1977 and 1978, I worked with archaeologist James V. Chism of the Ministere des Affaires culturelles and a crew of 6 in the Baie James area of northwestern Quebec (about 150 miles inland from the James Bay coast). We conducted archaeologiGi:).l investigations as part of a salvage program for the massive James Bay HydrO-electric Project. We worked for 2 summers at the northern limits of the proposed La Grande -2 reservoir, excavating prehistoric sites along a wide, open parkland sand terrace 011 Lac Washadimi (Chism 1977, 1978).

  • Perspectives on Sustainable Development in the Moose River Basin
    Perspectives on Sustainable Development in the Moose River Basin RICHARD J. PRESTON, McMaster University FIKRET BERKES, University of Manitoba PETER J. GEORGE, McMaster University INTRODUCTION For several years now, as principal investigators in the Research Program for Technology Assessment in Subarctic Ontario (TASO), we have been identifying and analyzing the environmental, economic and sociocultural determinants of sustainable development in the Cree com­ munities of the Mushkegowuk region of the Hudson and James Bay lowlands. We believe that a combination of traditional land-based activities, increased wage and proprietorial income, and transfer payments will constitute the economic base of viable Cree communities in the future. A number of fundamental concepts have guided TASO's work, two of which we want to discuss in this paper. First, we contrast some conflicting perspectives on the meaning of sustainable development, and second, we advance the notion of cumulative cultural impact assessment (Preston 1994). Specifically, we discuss Cree perspectives on sustainable development versus industrial developers' perspectives on sustainable development, by addressing the question: sustaining what, to develop whatl The answer depends on whose interests are being served. It also depends on what factors are contributing to the actual events of these developments. Environmental, technological, economic, political and cultural factors all cumulatively effect the course of development. Documenting and evaluating the whole context of development is the purpose of cumulative environmental and cultural impact assessment. We are presently attempting to frame a methodology for a more complete and appropriate assessment of industrial developments in the Moose River region. The starting point for an analysis of sustainability and development is the issue of world view, the way in which a culture looks at and orders the world around it.
