The easiest means of access is by flying from Cedar bay on Dore lake and landing on the bay where the Chibougamau river enters hichwacho lake. From the bay the property may be reached by a bush trail. GENERAL GEOLOGY According to the Geological Survey of Canada,. maps nos. 602A and 623A the property is underlain by easterly trending andes:ites, tuffs, and sedimentary rocks. These formations are locally ,intruded :by altered gabbro and diorite. SULPHIDE MINERALIZATION Sulphide mineralization is `known to occur on claim 5, C-96363. The sulphides are in, or adjacent H. R. HOGAN J. A. McCUAIG GEOLOGIST 3 MINING ENGINEER to. qua•i,z stringers as veinlets in weakly sheared diorite or occur disseminated in the diorite. This occurrence has been traced for a length. of 80 feet. It strikes N. 20° W and dips vertically. A grab sample from this occurrence assayed 2.30% copper, 0.01 ounce of gold per ton, and 0.10 ounces cf silver per ton. WORK COMPLETED An electrical resistivity survey was con- ducted on the property during February 1957. Four zones of possible faulting and five areas of possible sulphide mineralization were indicated from the re- sults of the electrical resistivity survey. The zones of possible sulphide mineralization are designated "A" to "E" inclusive. The "A" zone is the eastern extension of a mineralized zone on the ad jacent property owned by Pennbec lines Limited. It is believed to consist of a discontinuous band of siliceous tuff mineralized to varying degrees with pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalco- pyrite. Two diamuad drill holez intersected sulphides in the western part of the zone bu commercial values were lacking. H. R. HOGAN J. A. •IvieCt7AIG GEOLOGIST MINING ENGINEER Zones "F3", "C" and "D" lie, for the most part within a diorite-gabbro intrusive. They strike east, and are parallel to sib-parallel. The resis- tivity data indicate that certain points along these zones are mineralized with sulphides. Zone "E" is believed due to a high ;concen- tration of sulphides over a small area. RECOMMENDATIONS Geochemical and magnetometer surveys should be conducted over zones A to 'E, inclüsive. This . will aid in determining _ the nature of the zones Where diamond drilling is warranted.

In 1923 I observed the Montagnais of Lake St. John and Lake Mistassini at Pointe Bleu, Quebec. In 1924 at the Northwest River I studied the dialect of Davis Inlet from an Indian there, and gained a little knowledge of the dialect of the Northwest River. The American Council of Learned Societies made it possible for me in the summer and early fall of 1935 to do field- work among some of the Algonquian Indians in the vicinity of James and Hudson's Bay. I visited Moose Factory, Rupert's House, Fort George, and the Great Whale River. However, I was able to do a little work on the Albany Cree and Ojibwa owing to their presence at Moose Factory; and I did a few minutes work with an East Main Indian whom I stumbled across at Rupert's House; similarly I worked for a few minutes on the Weenusk dialect as an Indian from there chanced to come to Moosonee at the foot of James Bay. Owing to a grant-in-aid made by the American Coun- cil of Learned Societies it was possible for me to again visit the James and Hudson's Bays region in the spring, summer, and early fall of 1936.

  • Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Lake-Migratory Brook Trout: a Perspective from Pristine Populations
    Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 137:1192–1202, 2008 [Article] Ó Copyright by the American Fisheries Society 2008 DOI: 10.1577/T05-251.1 Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation of Lake-Migratory Brook Trout: A Perspective from Pristine Populations 1 DYLAN J. FRASER* AND LOUIS BERNATCHEZ Departement de Biologie, Universite´ Laval, Quebec City, Quebec G1K 7P4, Canada Abstract.—Reintroduction or rehabilitation plans for fish populations in many systems (e.g., lakes) are complicated by limited data on ecological and genetic characteristics before human disturbances occurred. While no two lakes have identical physical and biological characteristics, a growing body of empirical evidence nevertheless indicates that parallel patterns of population structuring may evolve within northern temperate fish species. Examining the population structuring in undisturbed lakes of similar physical and biological characteristics may thus provide insight into the probable historical extent and causes of both population structuring and connectivity in human-impacted lakes. Here, we review research on the population structuring and evolution of migratory brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in a relatively undisturbed, postglacial lake (Mistassini Lake, Quebec). We provide information on lake habitat use, the morphology and life history characteristics of populations, diets, lakewide genetic population structure, seasonal migration characteristics between spawning and feeding areas, population evolutionary histories, and the prevalence of lake spawning.

The rationale for this hydroelectric power project on the Péribonka River is based on the initiatives of Hydro-Québec's strategic plan for 2002-2006. Among the various options reviewed for the positioning of the structures (4 alternatives), the alternative located at KP 151.8 was determined to be the most economically and technically advantageous solution while also proving to be environmentally and socially acceptable. The project provides for the construction of a dam 80 m high, two dikes and one spillway with a capacity of 4 900 m3/s immediately upstream of the mouth of the Manouane River. These structures would create a reservoir 35 km in length with a surface area of up to 31.62 km2. The proposed generating station would be located between the Chute-des-Passes station and the Chute-du-Diable station, and its management would be linked with that of the Chute- des-Passes station.

  • Population Status, Life History and Conservation of Mistassini, Albanel and Waconichi Lake Brook Trout and Walleye Populations
    Population status, life history and conservation of Mistassini, Albanel and Waconichi Lake brook trout and walleye populations Giulio Navarroli, Ramela Arax Koumrouyan, Kia Marin and Dylan J. Fraser Department of Biology, Concordia University, 7141 Sherbrooke Street West. Montreal, QC, Canada H4B1R6 For the Cree Nation of Mistissini and Nibiischii Corporation April 2021 Abstract Mistassini, Albanel and Waconichi Lakes are situated within the Canadian province of Quebec’s largest wildlife reserve. The lakes are home to native brook trout and walleye populations that have been fished by the Cree Nation of Mistissini for many generations. These fishes are important to the local Cree community and regional economy through tourism, subsistence and recreational fishing. The origin of the three lakes during the last deglaciation period ~7000-8000 years ago facilitated the evolution of unique life histories and population divergence in both species, driving home the importance of recognizing and conserving genetically distinct populations within and among the lakes for local conservation initiatives. The regional increase of human activity that exacerbates climate change and habitat quality has the potential to impact Mistassini, Albanel and Waconichi’s socio-culturally important fish populations, highlighted by both Indigenous knowledge among local Cree elders/anglers and past empirical scientific studies primarily on Mistassini Lake. This review firstly compiles information on the general biology and threats prominent to brook trout and walleye across their native ranges in North America as well as specifically within Mistassini, Albanel and Waconichi Lakes. The review then summarizes how management/conservation plans and regulations are implemented for brook trout and walleye populations elsewhere.
