It stretches from Kaministiquia on Highway 11A-17A in the east to just west of Shebandowan on Highway 11 at Shebandowan Lake on the west. The region straddles the boundary between the Quetico Subprovince lying to the north and the Wawa Subprovince to the south. The rocks are Precambrian (Archean to Proterozoic) and Phanerozoic (Pleistocene to Recent) in age. This project is a summary report on areas mapped by the author between the period 1984 and 1989 (Carter, 1984, 1985a,b,c, 1986a,b,c, 1987a,b,c, 1988, 1989, 1990 a,b,c) and represents a compilation of these data. The emphasis of the work during 1987- 1989 was on a special study of the alkalic (shoshonitic) rocks of the region and the reader is referred to the above-mentioned reports for details on the chemistry, petrography and geological setting of these rocks. The rocks resemble similar rocks in the Kirkland Lake area where they are associated with gold mineralization. The Archean rocks comprise Keewatin-type metavolcanics and metasediments; Quetico-type clastic metasediments; intrusive ultramafic, mafic, and felsic rocks; Timiskaming-type metavolcanics and metasediments; diabase and lamprophyre dikes and a lamprophyric diatreme. Shoshonitic metavolcanic rocks occur in the Keewatin-type and Timiskaming-type rocks. ix The Keewatin-type Metavolcanic-Metaseiimentary Rocks are the oldest rocks in the map area. They comprise an isoclinally folded interlayered sequence of komatiitic, tholeiitic, calc- alkalic, high potassium calc-alkalic, and shoshonitic rocks, associated with intercalated metasediments. These rocks form about 60% of the exposed rocks and underlie the southern two- thirds of the region. The fold axes are curvilinear veering from east-west in the west to southeast in the southeastern part of the area as far as the Mokomon Fault. Southeast of this fault the fold axes trends northeasterly. The shoshonitic metavolcanic rocks occur mainly in the central part of the eastern boundary of the area, and in the southern part of the western limit of the region. The rocks comprise absarokite, shoshonite, and latite and range in colour from mauve to brick red. The suite consists primarily of pyroclastic rocks. The associated flows are aphyric to porphyritic. The pyroclastics indicate that two volcanic centres are present: one occurs in the east-central part of the area about the sub-volcanic Tower Stock, and the other lies in the western part of the area. The Timiskaming-type Metavolcanic-Metasedimentary Rocks occur in a northern and southern belt and unconformably overlie the Keewatin-type Metavolcanic-Metasedimentary Rocks (on the basis of local truncation of fold-axes trends), the Metamorphosed Mafic to Ultramafic Intrusive Rocks, and the early Felsic Intrusive Rocks. The latter are overlain locally by outliers of xi the Timiskaming-type rocks. Shoshonitic rocks in the Timiskaming-type rocks comprise brown to brick-red absarokite, shoshoshonite, latite and toscanite flows and pyroclastics. Two eruptive centres have been located in the northwestern part of the map area in Conacher Township.

CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

  • CN Rail Derailments
    CN Railway Derailments, Other Accidents and Incidents Prepared by Railroaded – Updated Oct 25, 2013 (This is a small sample of the thousands of CN derailments, spills, fires and other accidents. Past CN employees indicate that CN intentionally does not report many derailments.) Oct 19, 2013. Gainford, Alberta. A 134-car CN train carrying crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (propane) derailed about 90 km west of Edmonton, causing explosions and a massive fire. 9 of the 13 derailed tank cars were carrying propane and 4 carried crude oil. 1 of the cars carrying propane exploded and 3 others also caught fire. The amount of petroleum product spilled and the extent of environmental and property damages were not disclosed. A state of emergency was ordered for the entire area. All 100 Gainford residents and another 25 people living within 2 km of the derailment site were evacuated for 4 days due to the fear of additional explosions, fires and noxious fumes. The intensity of the fire was so severe, firefighters were forced to let the fire burn itself out, which took 4 days. The main east-west highway (Yellowhead No. 16) and the main east-west rail line (Trans-Continental) through western Canada were closed for 5 days. ( Chicago Tribune Oct 19/13, CBC News Oct 19/13, plus additional sources) Oct 16, 2013. Sexsmith, Alberta. 4 CN tank cars carrying anhydrous ammonia derailed. One of the derailed tank cars was leaning and sinking. Anhydrous ammonia is a dangerous good. In the absence of receiving any information from CN, Sexsmith fire resources ordered an evacuation of about 150 homes.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION to the Index of Death Notices, Obituaries, Estate Notices and In Memoriams as published in the Port Arthur Daily News and Port Arthur News-Chronicle 1906 - 1919 This alphabetical index was created to provide an easy reference for researchers seeking family information, biographical sources and estate files of individuals. The references cited are from the Port Arthur Daily News 1906 - 1916 and the Port Arthur News-Chronicle 1916 - 1919. These references are in most cases the first published notice. Researchers are urged to search forward about a week or two in the newspaper on microfilm from the date the death notice or obituary was published to find references to inquest cases or cards of thanks notices, as these are not included here. When variations in spellings of names were found, both variations were usually entered. In the time period of this database, death notices were not published for every person who died in the district. There were many news reports of men killed in industrial accidents such as the C.N.R. construction, however, names were not always included. Comparisons of the Ontario vital statistics and this database show only about 50 – 70% of deaths had published notices. There are very few notices in the pre-1910 Daily News. The reasons might have been editorial, social custom or cost of the notice. Rural deaths were more commonly noted in the correspondent updates from the district, especially for infants. If references about an individual are not found here or the Daily Times- Journal, please consult the Ontario Death Indexes and Registrations at the LDS Thunder Bay Family History Centre or at www.Ancestry.com available at Brodie Library.

Trevisan A thesis submitted to the Department of Geology in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Masters of Science December 2014 ABSTRACT The 1108 Ma Thunder mafic to ultramafic intrusion is a small, 800 x 100 x 500 m, Cu- PGE (platinum group element) mineralized body, located on the outskirts of Thunder Bay, Ontario, and associated with the early magmatic stages of the Midcontinent Rift (MCR) based on geochemical similarities to mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Nipigon Embayment and an unpublished 207Pb/206Pb zircon age of 1108.0 ± 1.0 Ma. The Thunder intrusion is similar to the other known mineralized early-rift MCR intrusions; however, it is the only known occurrence hosted by the metavolcanic and metasedimentary assemblages of the Archean Shebandowan greenstone belt. Major textural and geochemical differences can be used to subdivide the intrusion into a lower mafic to ultramafic basal unit and an upper gabbroic unit; the similar trace and rare earth element ratios of the two units suggest a single magmatic pulse that has undergone subsequent fractional crystallization and related cumulate phase layering. The estimated parental composition of the Thunder intrusion has a mg# (MgO/(MgO + 0.9*FeOT)) of 57 which represents a more evolved magma than other early-rift mafic to ultramafic intrusions.
