October 20th, 1958 CANADA INTRODUCTION The present report is being produced specifically to conform with the requirements of the Quebec Securities Act. It is supplemen- ted by two maps, one shoving the location of the Company's hold- ings in St.Helen Township, in the electoral district of Abitibi East, Quebec, and the other, shoving the locations of the various mining properties mentioned in the present report, as well as the regional geology. • For reasons given in detail in the present report, the author considers this mining property worth prospecting for a combination of precious and base metals, more particularly, for gold, silver, copper and zinc. It should, however, be clearly understood that this opinion is based on the author's knowledge of the regional geology, structure and diamond trilling results on some of the properties lying within the area, and, is not directly derived from the results..' of actual exploration of the property itself.

  • The Mining Industry of the Province of Quebec in 1959 Emoy, ,'''
    GM 67014 THE MINING INDUSTRY OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC IN 1959 EMOY, ,''' MINING INDUSTRY of the province of QUEBEC PROVINCE OF QUEBEC. CANADA DEPARTMENT OF MINES Honourable PAUL W. EARL, Minister P.-E. AUGER, Deputy Minister 4, THE MINING INDUSTRY OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC IN 1959 QUEBEC 1961 GM 67014 To the Honourable Paul W. Earl, Minister of Mines, Quebec, Que. Sir: I beg to submit herewith the report entitled "The Mining Industry of the Province of Quebec in 1959". This report contains a detailed account of mining operations and statistical data for the year 1959. This report has been prepared by the technical staff of the Department. The term "production", as used throughout this report, is synonymous with "quantity sold", "shipped" or "used", and does not necessarily represent "annual output". Unless otherwise noted, the ton specified in the text and tables of this report is that of 2,000 pounds. Values are given in Canadian funds. As it would be impractical to mention in this report all those who have contributed to the mineral production of the Province, a list of the "Principal Operators and Owners of Mines and Quarries in the Province of Quebec" is published separately and brought up to date when warranted by changes of names and addresses. In addition to this annual report on the mining industry, the Department issues a "General Report of the Minister of Mines" which deals mostly with administrative matters and covers the fiscal year ending on March 31st. In order to acquaint the public, as soon as pos- sible, with the state of the mining industry, the Department publishes at the beginning of each year an interim report summarizing the progress made by the industry during the year just ended.

  • Mineral Exploration 4.1 Introduction Targeted Commodities
    Photo: MERN CHAPTER 4 Mineral Exploration 4.1 Introduction Targeted commodities In 201512, roughly 200 mining companies reported exploration or deposit appraisal work in Québec as project operator. Exploration expenditures and investments amounted to nearly $221M (Figures 4.1 and 4.2). Junior companies continued to have difficulty financing their projects on the stock markets. Although spending by juniors had dropped by 30% in 2013, they have increased by 8% from 2014 to 2015. As in the past, exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures are largely focused on precious metals ($108M, 49%), ferrous metals ($58M, 26%) and base metals ($13M, 6%) (Table 4.1). The last few years have also seen a growing inte- rest for several commodities that Québec does not yet produce or only in small quantities. This is true for lithium, rare earth elements, diamonds, phosphate and graphite, which collectively reached a high of $150M in work expenditures in 2012, compared to a total of only $10M in the early 2000s. Nevertheless, the global stock market pullback had a negative effect on the level of investment for these new commodities. In Québec, expenditures fell from $150M in 2012 to $33M in 2015, a drop of 78%. The applications for these strategic commodities are diverse and growing, particularly in the high-tech and green technology sectors for products such as hybrid and electric cars, wind turbines and high-performance rechargeable batteries. According to preliminary data, exploration and deposit appraisal expenditures were down for a fourth consecutive year with a total of $221M. The year-to-year reductions observed in 2012 (26%), 2013 (38%), 2014 (17%) and 2015 (30%) are explained by lower stock market prices for certain commodities that led to worldwide financing difficulties in the industry.

Anderson SERVICE DE LA Toronto, Ontario DOCUMENTAT NTECHNIQUE • 13 - A0 U 1974 . May, 1974. Date: No GM: SELCO MINING CORPORATION LIMITED GEOPHYSICAL REPORT GRASSET LAKE AREA INTRODUCTION During the period January to April, 1974, magnetic and electromagn._`_ic surveys were completed on 37 grids in Grasset Lake area. This report describes the results on 30 of those grids LOCATION &ACCESS The claim groups are located in the townships of Bapst, Ste. Helene, Subercase, Grasset, La Gauchetiere, and Daniel. Access to the souther part of the area is by winter roads sponsored by the Quebec Department of Natural Resources, which extend west from New Hosco, and northwest from mile 80 on Highway 61. Northern claim groups are best reached by float or ski-equipped aircraft from Matagami. GEOLOGY The geology of the area west of longitude 78°00' has been mapped at one inch to one mile and described by Remick (1969), and the reader is referred to this report for details. At the extreme eastern edge of the area, in Daniel Township, felsic ana intermediate volcanics which 2 • host the massive sulphide deposits of the Matagami camp either terminate or form the western closure of an anticline about the Bell River Complex (Sharpe, 1968). With the exception of the Allard River area towards Matagami, most of the geology of the area is only known in a general fashion, due to very limited outcrop exposure.
