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. The most valuable resources contain Silica Consumption in Canada (Total = 2.57 Mt) >98% SiO2 and can be readily crushed into different sizes for the various end products. -

Document generated on 09/27/2021 4:33 p.m. Atlantic Geology Triassic Basin Stratigraphy at Grand Manan, New Brunswick, Canada J. Gregory. McHone Volume 47, 2011 Article abstract The island of Grand Manan (Canada) in the southwestern Bay of Fundy has the URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/ageo47art06 only exposed strata and basalt of the Grand Manan Basin, a mainly submerged Early Mesozoic riſt basin about 30 km wide by 70 km long. The basin is See table of contents bounded on the southeast by the west-dipping Red Point Fault, which bisects the island, and on the northwest by a submarine border fault marked by the Murr Escarpment, a bathymetric feature that parallels the coast of Maine Publisher(s) (USA). A fault-bounded horst of Ediacaran to Cambrian rocks separates the Grand Manan Basin from the much larger Fundy Basin to the east. The Atlantic Geoscience Society Ashburton Head, Seven Days Work, and Southwest Head members of the end-Triassic Dark Harbour Basalt cover most of western Grand Manan with a ISSN total thickness around 240 m. Up to 12 m of sub-horizontal grey mudstone and fine-grained red sandstone of the Dwellys Cove Formation are exposed along 0843-5561 (print) the western shoreline beneath the basalt. Coarse red arkosic sandstone a few 1718-7885 (digital) metres thick at Miller Pond Road rests on a basement of Late Ediacaran rocks east of the basin. Exposures of the Dwellys Cove and Miller Pond Road Explore this journal formations are at the top and bottom, respectively, of several km (?) of sub-horizontal Late Triassic clastic basin strata, juxtaposed by the eastern border fault. -

BY EDWIN N. C. BARNES. REV. B. H. NOBLES. Pastor Victoria Street United Baptist Chinch, St. John. INTRODUCTION. This little book tells the life story of a good man. It makes no pretension to literary finish. It is purely a record, simply phrased, of more than fifty years in the Christian ministry. The writer has been known through all these years as a man of real humbleness, great faith, deep devotion and tireless activity in the work of the Lord. His work has been abundantly blessed. The results of his consecrated service are not alone in the large number won to the faith of Jesus, in churches established, and in the care of the flock of God, but in the number of young men converted under his ministry, who became preachers of the gospel and successful winners of souls. Rarely has a minister a more striking record in this respect. The story furnishes some knowledge of religious conditions in earlier years in New Brunswick, and of the diflficulties which confronted the servants of God. -
