In pocket E-4 British Columbia, areas underlain by major coal-bearingformations . In pocket (iii) PREFACE The first Minister of Mines of the Province of British Columbia was appointed in 1874. One of his responsibilities was "the duty of collecting information on the subject of the mining industries of the Province." This material, which consisted of reports by the Gold Commissioners and Mining Recorders of the Province, was published in the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines. A Bureau of Mines was established by Parliamentary authority in 1895 and in 1896 was staffed by a Provincial Mineralogist and an assayer and chemist. Technical reports on mines and mining activities were prepared by them and published in the Annual Report, together with reports contributed by the Mining Recorders and Gold Commissioners. Over the years, with the expansion of the mining industry, the staff of the Department of Mines grew, as did the number and size of the technical reports on geology and mining that were still published in the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines. Over a period of nearly 75 years the Annual Report became known as the authoritative record of mining in the Province. However, because of the size to which the Annual Report had grown, it was decided in 1969 to publish all geological and technical 'reports dealing with solid minerals in a separate volume entitled Geology, ~xploratikhand Mining in British Columbia. Thus a new annual publication was initiated with chapters on exploration and mining related to metals, placer, structural materials and industrial minerals, and coal. In 1975 a revised format was introduced for Geology, Exploration and Mining in British Columbia to allow the three main sections to be released as soon as prepared with the whole to be eventually bound together as a volume. The separate sections are: Mining in British Columbia - a record of mining in the Province plus the Chief Inspector's report (the parts which are of restricted interest will be omitted in the final bound volume); Exploration in British Columbia - a record of the performance of the industry in exploration; and Geology in British Columbia - a record of the mapping and research of the Geological Division of the Mineral Resources Branch. ORGANIZATION The reports that form the body of each section are arranged, where present, in the following order: lode metals, placer, structural materials and industrial minerals, and coal. Introductory statements precede the body of most parts of each section. These are not gathered together as a general review of the industry in the final bound volume. A map showing the distribution of currently explored properties is in the pocket of Exploration (Fig. E-I). Two maps (Figs. M-1 and M-2) are included in the pocket in Mining. Figure M-I shows the major producing mines (more than 1 000 tonnes); M-2 shows the locations for all property write-ups. All reports are arranged sequentially according to the National Topographic System (NTS) map designation. In the NTS designation, the whole of Canada is divided into primary quadrangles, each 4 degrees latitude by 8 degrees longitude. Each is described by a number, the last digit of which indicates latitude and the first one (or two) indicates longitude (for example, 104). British Columbia is covered by six of these primary quadrangles except for minor areas. Each primary quadrangle is subdivided into 16 map sheets, each 1 degree latitude by 2 degrees longitude, and described by letters A to P (for example, 104G) proceeding from the southeast corner to the west in the southern panel, then east to the next panel, and so on. Each lettered quadrangle is subdivided into 16 map sheets, each 15 minutes latitude by 30 minutes longitude and numbered 1 to 16 in an analogous manner to the lettering (for example, 104Gl7). Finally each sheet is halved east and west for maps of the 1:50 000 series and each is described, for example, 104Gl7E and 104Gl7W. The reports proceed by primary quadrangle from the southeastern part of the Province to the northwestern part. Within each primary quadrangle the order proceeds from All E to AIIW to A/2E, and sequentially to Pl16E. In some instances, exceptions are made so that adjacent prospects are not widely separated. An index to published base maps and air photographs may be obtained from the Lands Service, Ministry of the Environment. SOURCES OF INFORMATION A considerable amount of information in the following reports is supplied by mining and exploration companies. Partially completed forms are sent to explorers as a result of receipt of a completed Form 10-1 1, Notice of Work on a Mineral Property. The co-operation of explorers in completing the forms is gratefully acknowledged. This information is augmented by staff geologists and inspectors and edited and assembled by Mineral Inventory and Publication Sections. Other information is gathered by forms submitted jointly by Economics and Planning Division of the Ministry and Statistics Canada. Geological, geophysical, geochemical, drilling, and prospecting reports accepted for credit as assessment work contain a large amount of valuable information. The results of work presented in assessment reports that were accepted by April 1, 1977 are summarized and published herein. The last report summarized for the current publication is Assessment Report 6642. Assessment reports accepted after April I,concerning properties for which exploration questionnaires have already been submitted to the Ministry, are entered as references on the property write-ups until this manuscript is finalized for publication. Reports accepted in 1977 for work done in 1976 are not summarized if the work was previously reported on exploration questionnaires. Because of this policy, not all assessment reports appear as references. Assessment reports are available for study or for duplication at cost one year after the date of their submission. Geologists and engineers on the staff of the Mineral Resources Branch prepare reports on mineralized areas, deposits, and mines which, in particular, form the body of Geology in British Columbia and much of Mining in British Columbia. LOCATIONS In this report, a description of the property location is given as well as the latitude and longitude and NTS designation of the 1: 50 000 map sheet in which the property lies. The latitude and longitude given is either the centre of the property or the area of major work. NTS designation is that of the main showing(s) or for the majority of the claims. In cases where claims are located in more than one NTS sheet, several NTS designations are given. NAMES Most often the name or names given to a property are those used for the Mineral Inventory. This is often the name by which the property was originally or formerly known (for example, Glacier Gulch, Magnum). Sometimes the name or names are those of one or more of the claims that constitute the group; occasionally a name is used which is derived from the name of the company owning the property (for example, Bralorne, Granisle). Where established to a reasonable degree of confidence, the Mineral Inventory number, which appeared after the property name in 1975, has been included with the references (for example, Mineral lnventory 82ElSE-1). Where practicable, all names of claims comprising a property are given under the heading 'claims.' OWNERSHIP Where possible the owner (or owners) of the claims reported is stated. For located claims the owner is taken directly from Ministry records at the time the manuscript is being prepared. Unrecorded bills of sale and outstanding option agreements sometimes make it impossible to determine the owner at a given date. For Crown grants, unless an extensive search is made, it is sometimes impossible to be certain of their ownership. In instances when the operator (the company or individual for whom the work was done or who paid for it) is known but the owner is uncertain, then only the operator is recorded; when the owner is also the operator, then only the owner is recorded; and when the owner is not the operator and both are known, then both are recorded. EXPLORATION GENERAL STATEMENT Exploration for metals in 1977 decreased slightly from $27 183 927 in 1976 to $26 177 389. However, this decrease was associated

(“Montem”) is in receipt of correspondence dated April 1, 2021 from the Ktunaxa Nation Council (“KNC”), on behalf of the Ktunaxa Nation (“Ktunaxa”), to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”) requesting that the Tent Mountain Mine Project (the “Project”) be designated for federal review in accordance with section 9(3) of the Impact Assessment Act.1 Montem respects the Ktunaxa’s rights and interests in the area of the Project as well as the concerns raised by the KNC. Montem has commenced engagement with the KNC to better understand how resumption of mining at the Tent Mountain Mine site will potentially impact the Ktunaxa and to ensure that any impacts to their rights and interests are addressed. Montem reiterates its request that the Project not be designated for the detailed reasons set out below including: 1. The Project is the restart of a small, existing mining operation on a previously disturbed brownfield mine site, with a relatively short duration (approximately 14 years) with a production capacity of less than 5,000 tonnes per day. It is not a new mine or a large expansion that would warrant federal designation; 2. The Project is an existing and permitted operation with mining activities that currently cross the provincial boundary between the Province of Alberta and the Province of British Columbia.

  • General Geology
    3 GENERAL GEOLOGY introduction: The Unuk River-Salmon River-Anyox map-area includes partof the con- tact of the eastern Coast Plutonic Complex with the west-central of margin the successor Bowser Basin. Geologically, geographically, and economically the country rocksof the area form a well-defined entity that the writer has called the Stewart Complex. Sedimen- tary, volcanic, and metamorphic rocks bordering the Coast Plutonic Complex range in age from Middle Triassic to Quaternary. The detailed stratigraphy of the entire area is not completely known, principally because of the extensive icefields, the poor accessibility, and the complex nature of the Mesozoic succession. North of Stewart, fossil evidence coupled with certain marker horizons has been to used outline and separate Triassic and Jurassic formations. Permian rocks were not specifically studied, although thick Permian carbonate units occur along the lskut River and immediatelyeast ofthe Bell-Irving Riverat Oweegee Peak (Fig. 1). In the map-area southof Stewart, fossils are rare; in the Kitsault River section, Hanson (1931) and Carter (personal communication) collected undiag- nostic Mesozoic fossils. Southof Stewart, identificationof Hazelton Group formations is still tentative becauseit is based on structural and lithological similarities and homotaxy. The natureof the Permian-Triassic boundarywas not determined in the map-area.To the north toward Telegraph Creek, where both Permian and Triassic rocks are well exposed, the nature of the Permian-Triassic boundaryis still uncertain, even though the Permian rocks which probably underlie part of the Bowser Basin have been studied by several petroleum exploration companies. Fusilinid studies on thick carbonate rocks exposed along the Scud River (Pitcher, 1960) indicate an Early and Middle Permian assemblage.

  • The Economics of Protecting Old Growth Forest: an Analysis of Spotted Owl Habitat in the Fraser Timber Supply Area of British Columbia
    The Economics of Protecting Old Growth Forest: An Analysis of Spotted Owl Habitat in the Fraser Timber Supply Area of British Columbia Final Report Duncan Knowler, Associate Professor and Kristin Dust, Research Assistant School of Resource and Environmental Management Simon Fraser University Burnaby, B.C. V5A 1S6 September 2008 2 Executive Summary The spotted owl is one of British Columbia’s most endangered species and its population is dwindling as logging continues in the coastal old growth forests upon which it depends for survival. Many other species depend on this habitat, some of which are endangered as well, and old growth forests provide a host of other benefits to humans. The two major land use options at issue are logging or protection of these old growth habitats. Protection of old growth forest carries an opportunity cost in terms of the foregone surplus (producer surplus or economic rent) from timber harvesting. However, the harvesting of old growth timber carries an opportunity cost in terms of other foregone values, such as certain recreation opportunities, stored carbon and ecosystem services (e.g. watershed protection). The goal of this study was to take a first step towards a rigorous examination of the main land use options for coastal old growth forest with the intent of determining which one is optimal for society. We do not estimate the value of all costs and benefits associated with the different land use options; instead, we focus on estimating the forest values related to timber, non-timber forest products, recreation and carbon sequestration/storage. We do not attempt to estimate other ecosystem services such as watersheds, nutrient cycling, and control of soil erosion.
