In 2010, however, after the Min- istry of Natural Resources (MNR) personnel inspected the bridge and Andre Lamothe (5th from left) with some of his team, who now have year-round employment in Temagami. found it to be unsafe, the MNR re- moved the bridge.

  • Mining, Geology, and Geological History of Garnet at the Barton Garnet Mine, Gore Mountain, New York William Kelly
    6: RARE EARTH ELEMENT AND YTTRIUM MINERAL OCCURENCES IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS 7 MINING, GEOLOGY, AND GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF GARNET AT THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MOUNTAIN, NEW YORK WILLIAM KELLY New York State Geologist, Emeritus, Division of Research and Collections, New York State Museum, Albany, NY 12230, [email protected] KEYWORDS: Garnet, Mining, Gore Mountain, Metamorphism, Lyon Mountain Granite ABSTRACT Garnet megacrysts commonly 30 centimters (cm) ranging up to 1 meter (m) in diameter occur at the summit of Gore Mountain, Adirondacks, NY and were mined there for abrasives for more than a century. The mine, owned by Barton Mines Co., LLC, is roughly 2 km x 150 m and is located in a hornblende-rich garnet amphibolite at the southern boundary of a metamorphosed olivine gabbro body that is in fault contact with charnockite. Barton supplies garnet, a chemically homogeneous pyrope-almandine, to the waterjet cutting, lapping, and abrasive coatings industries. The garnet megacrysts are reliably dated at 1049 ± 5 Ma. The growth of the garnet megacrysts was facilitated by an influx of hydrothermal fluid emanating from the ore body’s southern boundary fault. The fluids were most probably associated with the intrusion of the Lyon Mountain Granite (1049.9 ± 10 Ma) and/or associated pegmatitic rocks late in the tectonic history of the Adirondacks. INTRODUCTION The Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York are a small outlier of a larger body of rocks of similar age and geologic history that is located to the north in Canada. The Adirondack region can be loosely divided into amphibolite metamorphic facies Lowlands, in the northwest, and the granulite facies Central Highlands, which are 86 THE ADIRONDACK JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES VOLUME 21 87 7: MINING, GEOLOGY, AND GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF GARNET AT THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MOUNTAIN, NEW YORK separated by a very large, northwest-dipping fault zone.

  • GEOLOGY and MINING Mstory of the BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MT
    B3-1 GEOLOGY AND MINING mSTORY OF THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MT. AND THE NL ILMENITE MINE, TAHAWUS, NY WITH A TEMPORAL EXCURSION TO THE MACINTYRE IRON PLANTATION OF 1857 William M Kelly New York State Museum 3140 Cultural Education Center Albany, NY 12230 Robert S. Darling Department o/Geology SUNY, College at Cortland Cortland, NY 13045 INTRODUCTION This field trip examines the geology and history of mining at two types of ore deposits, one a metal and one an industrial mineral. Both are strongly identified with the Adirondack Mountains of New York and both have histories that extend for more than a century. While mining activities began at both in the nineteenth century, only the Barton garnet mining venture has remained in continuous operation. Attempts, successful and unsuccessful, to exploit the ore at Tahawus occurred sporadically through the nineteenth and twentieth century. During this time the minerals that were the target and gangue at Tahawus essentially reversed roles. BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MT. The Barton Mines Corporation open pit mine is located at an elevation of about 800 m (2600 ft) on the north side of Gore Mountain. For 105 years, this was the site of the world's oldest continuously operating garnet mine and the country's second oldest continuously operating mine under one management. The community at the mine site is the highest self-sufficient community in New York State. It is 16 Ian (10 mi) from North Creek and 8 km (5 mil from NY State Route 28 over a Company-built road that rises 91 m (300 ft) per mile.

  • Metamorphic Conditions of Adirondack Rocks Robert S
    4: EPISODES IN GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE ADIRONDACKS 5 METAMORPHIC CONDITIONS OF ADIRONDACK ROCKS ROBERT S. DARLING1 AND WILLIAM H. PECK2 1. Department of Geology, SUNY Cortland, Cortland, NY 13045, 607.753.2923, [email protected] 2. Department of Geology, Colgate University, Hamilton, NY 13346, 315.228.6798, [email protected] KEYWORDS: Adirondacks, Metamorphism, Pressure-Temperature-Path, Fluid Composition, New York ABSTRACT The Adirondack Highlands were metamorphosed to granulite facies conditions during the Ottawan phase (1090 to 1020 Ma) of the Grenville Orogenic Cycle, whereas the Adirondack Lowlands were metamorphosed to mid to upper amphibolite facies conditions during the Shawinigan phase (1190 to 1140) of the Grenville Orogenic Cycle. Metamorphic temperatures ranged from 750 °C to 850 °C in the Highlands and 650 °C to 750 °C in the Lowlands. Metamorphic pressures were between 6.0 and 8.6 kilobars in the Highlands and 6.5 to 7.5 kilobars in the Lowlands. Following the peak of metamorphism, Adirondack rocks took a counter-clockwise path in pressure-temperature space. The activity of water is generally low in Adirondack metamorphic rocks, and many rocks did not contain a free fluid phase during metamorphism. INTRODUCTION Ever since Emmons (1842) first reported geological descriptions of the Adirondack region, scores of geologists have travelled to northern New York to study the Mesoproterozoic basement rocks the make up the Adirondack Mountains. Early studies tended to focus on mining and economic resources of the region, but a number of researchers attempted 60 THE ADIRONDACK JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES VOLUME 21 61 5: METAMORPHIC CONDITIONS OF ADIRONDACK ROCKS to better understand the rocks types and their interrelationships (see Peck, this issue).

  • 101 Geology and Mining History of the Barton
    GEOLOGY AND MINING HISTORY OF THE BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MT. AND THE NL ILMENITE MINE, TAHAWUS, NY AND A REVIEW OF THE MACINTYRE IRON PLANTATION OF 1857 WILLIAM M. KELLY New York State Museum 3140 Cultural Education Center Albany, NY 12230 ROBERT S. DARLING Department of Geology SUNY, College at Cortland Cortland, NY 13045 INTRODUCTION This field trip examines the geology and history of mining at two types of ore deposits, one a metal and one an industrial mineral. Both are strongly identified with the Adirondack Mountains of New York and both have histories that extend for more than a century. While mining activities began at both in the nineteenth century, only the Barton garnet mining venture has remained in continuous operation. Attempts, successful and unsuccessful, to exploit the ore at Tahawus occurred sporadically through the nineteenth and twentieth century. During this time the minerals that were the target and gangue at Tahawus essentially reversed roles. BARTON GARNET MINE, GORE MT. The Barton Mines Corporation open pit mine is located at an elevation of about 800 m (2600 ft) on the north side of Gore Mountain. For 105 years, this was the site of the world's oldest continuously operating garnet mine and the country's second oldest continuously operating mine under one management. The community at the mine site is the highest self-sufficient community in New York State. It is 16 km (10 mi) from North Creek and 8 km (5 mi) from NY State Route 28 over a Company-built road that rises 91 m (300 ft) per mile.

GEOCHEMICAL AND PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF GORE MOUNTAIN GARNETS, ADIRONDACKS NY By Elizabeth Rose Morgan ****** Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Bachelor of Science Department of Geology UNION COLLEGE May, 2011 ABSTRACT The mine at Gore Mountain is famous for its giant garnets and long history of garnet abrasive production. This location, Warrensburg (Wall St.), and others were examined to attempt to better understand the petrogenesis of these remarkable rocks. Our studies have emphasized the geochemistry of bulk rocks and rock and mineral separates (122 analyses), thin section petrology, and thermodynamic modeling of mineral assemblages. At Gore Mtn. the ore has the assemblage hornblende-plagioclase- garnet-OPX-biotite, and formed over a ~2 m thick transition zone from a layered olivine corona gabbro, metamorphosed at granulite facies. Petrographically the delicate corona structures and fine-grained garnets were replaced by hornblende and progressively larger garnets across the transition zone, indicating that the small number of large garnets in the ore resulted from growth driven by surface energy reduction rather than low nucleation rate.
