Scientific Editor: Z.L. Mandziuk 1000-85-Thorn Foreword

This report summarizes the activities of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Regional and Resident Geologists for the period November 30, 1983, to November 30, 1984. It also includes accounts of mining, exploration, and geoscience activities in Ontario, prepared from informa tion collected and filed by the Regional and Resident Geologists. Listings of new additions to the Assessment Files Records, and reports of govern ment survey and sponsored projects are provided. Regional and Resident Geologists are located in key centres of the Mining Divisions of the Province, to provide geoscience information and advice to the public on the geology and mineral deposits of Ontario. Each office maintains a library of published and unpublished reports, technical papers and monographs, publications of the Ontario Geological Survey and other government agencies, records of exploration activity submitted for assessment work credit, company prospectuses and reports from the files of the Ontario Securities Commission, reports of property visits made by the Regional or Resident Geologists staff, and information received directly from companies and individuals. A wide variety of mineral resources related investigations under taken by regional minerals staff are reported here. These range from geoscience data inventories to technical studies regarding petroleum resources, building stone, industrial minerals, aggregate resources, and metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits. The Economic Geologist Programs, initiated some years ago in the North Central Region, continued in the Geraldton-Beardmore and the Schreiber-Terrace Bay areas, and have been incorporated in other re gions. Economic Geologists have been assigned to the Dryden-Fort Fran cis, Wawa, and Kirkland Lake (Black River-Matheson Program) areas. Core storage facilities were operative in 5 centres including Kirkland Lake, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie, Bancroft, and Tweed. A core collection and cataloguing program developed by the Resident Geologists© staff at these centres has been highly successful insuring that as much as possible of the available diamond drill core is collected and stored. M.E. Durocher, resigned from the position of Resident Geologist, Red Lake, and has been replaced by M.J. Lavigne, Jr.

Organic-rich Sediment sediment several metres in depth is present in many small lakes and restricted bays of larger lakes. Samples of this material as well as inorganic sediment contain diatoms, but the amounts present are small.

Fluorite 1 Fluorite is present in small amounts in the Sturgeon Narrows Alkalic Complex and the Thrasher Occurrence. The former is a nepheline syenite with fluorite-bearing veinlets (Trowell 1983), and the latter is a quartz vein, with erratic amounts of fluorite, cutting metavolcanic rocks. Graphite 10 4 Graphite occurs in 2 deposit types: flake graphite accompanied by extensive pyrite and pyrrhotite in metasedimentary rocks of the English River Subprovince, and fine powder (amorphous) graphite in black graphitic schists associated with metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Wabigoon Subprovince. The flake graphite deposits are much more valuable than the more common powder graphite deposits. The potential for additional flake graphite deposits is good. Kyanite-sillim- reconnaissance Numerous examples of metamorphic rocks containing anite work only kyanite or sillimanite are noted on maps by Breaks et al. (1976, 1984). The sites examined contain only small amounts of aluminosilicate minerals.

Samples of pink granite from Nelson Granite, Vermilion Bay, were included in this study.

Marl Interest in marl has increased in recent years for use as a soil conditioner in acidic agricultural soils. The Suprise Lake Marl Deposit is a locally well known source. Lake sediment sampling by Kenora District OMNR staff during the 1960s located marl in highly organic rich sediments in Helldiver Bay of Shoal Lake, and work by Northland Associates Ltd. (1984) located marl beneath a peat bog near the Village of Finland, Rainy River District. Additional marl deposits should be present in the area.

The one example that showed reasonable amounts of muscovite is a schist associated with the quarry near Hudson (see Storey 1983).
