This, and the students he trained, will bear a living witness to his ideals. ��The Forestry Scene - 1972 Professional forestry education came of age in our University on April 25, 1971 was announced in the legislative assembly, on that date, that the provincial It cabinet had approved the University's request that it be authorized to grant the degree of Bachelor of the Science of Forestry. The academic year 1971-72 proved to be one of considerable stress for all members of the faculty in the University, and particularly for our developing The recruitment of five, full-time teaching staff members to meet of the the needs created by the offering for the first time of the third year Degree program, and to fill the openings which resulted from the resignation School. of Professc- Khalil during the early summer, and from the untimely death of our Chairman, John Haggerty, in August, was a task of particular urgency. During the first term and continuing into the second term, several members of the staff were obliged to commit a significant portion of their time to part, the work of a number of University committees. These committees were in preoccupied with the financial crisis which became apparent to us, in October, the with the study of University governmental organizations, and with continuing tasks of guiding the academic activities of the University through committees of the Senate. Within the School, we undertook a thorough review lengthy and Of both the Degree and Technology programs. This proved to be a most challenging task, but one which has led to a significant strengthening of these programs. They are intended to enhance opportunities of professional foresters and forest technologists in the Boreal Forest region of Canada, may by providing a general forestry education upon which our graduates develop knowledge and skills in their chosen fields. Commencing in September, 1972, we shall offer, for the first time, the fourth and final year of the Degree program. To that end, we have been authorized K.W. HEARDEN staff to proceed with the recruitment of two additional, full-time teaching members and of one laboratory assistant. This will only partially alleviate staff during the decidedly heavy teaching loads which will be carried by the will be the 1972-73 transition year of the Degree program. Course loads somewhat heavier than normal for students in some years of the program, also, but special efforts will be made to restrict these to tolerable levels. These problems, and those related to the employment of foresters and forest technologists, are inherent in the lack of any clearly defined statement of provincial forest policy. The financial controls which are being imposed upon universities by our provincial government are necessitating a careful scrutiny of all programs. In It is now apparent that only under special circumstances will they be experience across the past few years, one is inclined to speculate that the offered if they do not attract adequate numbers of students. policy is in reality one of expedience, perhaps best expressed as, "you Our Timber Harvesting Technology certificate program, unfortunately, has been be provided." in this category, and will not be offered in September for less than 10 shrinkage in financial support for silviculture, and this has imposed stresses students. and difficulties at all levels. considering the issue of forest policy in Ontario, in the light of actual liquiJate, we regenerate, where possible, and to the extent that funds may Indeed, in the past several years, there has occurred a In spite of the current strength of popular concern with the environment, Is pollution, and the management of our natural resources, opportunities for 60 y.-ars of the presence and influence of professional forestry in the province permanent employment in these fields have not developed satisfactorily.

A. President. Though apathy seemed to take an early foothold in the year, the unfounded accusation that Forestry students as a whole had assumed an artsy attitude was quickly relinquished. A remarkably successful orientation rite at Kangaroo Court and an October Beef Bash was all that was needed. Participatory wise, the Shine rama proved immensely that lived up to its tradition of always coming out on top. The bottle drive for United Appeal, even under the adverse conditions, surprisingly showed earnest drive. Forestry still The subsequent Social Nite and November Dance were also undoubtedly enjoyed. The true wealth of belonging to the Forestry sect continued into a Winter Carnival that would have fizzed without restoration of carnival spirit (i.e. - the Tech I sculpture) by us. Other involvements of the year such as the Annual Symposium, a Germany field trip, and guest speakers added much to such a short but eventful year. the work for To those who devoted services and time, I forward the executive's thanks for making the 1971/72 year a year of no monetary loss coupled with a renewed spirit only Forestry students could invoke. make a personal thank you and Sawdust" column.

Ed. did have a good offensive attack but with some tough breaks, a few bad snaps and Forestry's ability to capitalize on these mistakes, Forestry wound up on the long end of the score. Forestry, you might say, is "numero uno". This Forestry 1 football team has accumulated over 60 points in 4 games and allowed only one point to be scored against them. This makes up for a little revenge for the case of beer we lost in the volleyball game on Thursday night which we lost by a point. The game played Saturday was a very clean well-played contest with some tough action along the line. Saturday night celebrations took place out in the University the annual Beef Bash.

All contestants were in fine form from the Forestry "Pisser" the night before. It is safe to say the event was a success with five teams competing and ample spectators. Competing were Degree II who came first, Geology who came in second, our woodsmen's team who showed up third, and of course, the Jock Straps and nurses who came in 4th and 5th respectively. Even though the nurses came last, they were the best cheered and most watched team competing. Good form was shown by Medland, and all.

Next year, we hope to get off to an earlier start and get things swinging.

A group of eight students and two professors attempted to set up a field trip for the third year degree and the second year technician students to commence on May 1st, 1972 and end on May 17th. In all, 46 people would have enjoyed an experience that few others in their field have had the chance to. The trip was to consist of viewing Management logging and research areas in European settings. The major drawback was raising funds. The federal government turned us down saying it was too specialized a trip, and provincial government was willing to give us only a third of what we asked for. the If I would like to close with a word of encouragement. planning another field trip of this scope, they should start planning it at least nine months in advance.

Due Symposium was "Aspects of Forestry Associated with Multiple Land Use Concepts" was the central topic in Four speakers, all from Northwestern Ontario, presented their papers. The Symposium received national recognition in forestry circles in the form of a three-page feature article in the June, 1969 Forestry Chronicle. One of the speakers, Mr. K. W. Hearnden, joined our staff in the fall of 1969 and is now the Forestry School Chairman. the First Symposium. The Second Annual Symposium was entitled "Forest Policy in Ontario". Three aspects were discussed, Timber Licencing System, Sustained Yield Policy and Regeneration Policy. Three of the speakers were from Toronto. Mr. Leo Vidlak, a faculty member, was a speaker under the Regeneration Policy and later became engaged in some lively discussion. Dr. W. G. Tamblyn, President of the University, spoke on "Student Unrest" as the after-dinner speaker. The "Impact of Chemicals in Forestry" was the theme for the Third Annual Symposium. very knowledgeable group of men formed the panel of speakers. They came from Eastern Canada and the United States. Mr. R. J. Day, best remembered for his flamboyant method of spraying deodorants later joined the School as an Associate Professor in Silvico and Forest Ecology. Again we received national recognition in the June, 1971 issue of the Forestry Chronicle. A The Symposium this year discussed "Production Potential and Management of Under Utilized Species". This evolved through time into primarily a discussion on Poplar. A detailed description of the proceedings can be seen on the following pages. Many thanks for the excellent press coverage by Messrs. Dave Reid and Greg Crook to whom I am indebted for their photographic coverage and literary prowess. Also many thanks to the sales representatives who pushed the tickets to the students, especially to the first year Degree class for their relatively "good" showing. this year's loss Financially speaking, the Symposium lost has been kept below the $600 level. money for the fourth straight year, Hopefully, Attendance has risen from 130 in 1969 to over 200 this year. The Symposium is gaining recognition in Northern Ontario forestry circles as government and industry employees come from as far as Cochrane and Blind River to the east, and Kenora and Red Lake to the west. Interest has grown in leaps and bounds. All chairmen of the Symposium have received many favourable comments from those attending and especially the speakers who are amazed at the fact that the students run and finance these large symposiums. Lakehead Forestry is a new school without an established reputation. In the minds of those who control the hiring of new graduates, student participation is important. Participation in the symposium is an excellent way to show this interest. In organizing the symposium, just one person puts out a lot of his personal time as has been the case for the last two years. We need greater student participation beginning in SEPTEMBER. by Gary McKellar, Symposium Committee Chairman. �Forestry Management Production Potentiol and The Lakehead Universtiy Association held its annual symposium on Saturday March 4th. This year's topic "Production Potential and Forestry fourth Management of Under Utilized Species", turned out to be more or less a symposium on poplar, proving to be interesting very and informative to say the least. The first speaker was Mr. J.

Mr. Art Ennis of Boise Cascade proved to be a good followup to Mr. McLaughlin. Mr. Ennis talked about a tree length chip operation used by Boise Cascade, International Falls, Minn. He the fact that their operation was under conditions. Three seperate contracts have been let different aspects of the out for production. One contractor is stressed particular very specific responsible for cutting and limbing the trees and delivering them to the chipping site in time for the wood to cure before it is chipped. This contract made up one-third of the total cost of the chips. The second contractor is responsible for the running of 2250 Morbark Chipper and Debarker purchased by Boise Cascade in 1968, and loading the chips into vans. Mr. Ennis stated the the 2250 was 93% opercompared to down time, but that the maintenance crew worked after hours to keep the machine in top running order. Production was 18,000 cords per year per shift. (This portion incurred 16% of the cost. I The third contract was for hauling the chips from the site to the that ational mill using eight, forty foot company owned vans with an extra one at the chipper, and four leased tractor units. The average haul was 80 miles with a load of 10—12 cords depending on moisture content. Loading time is approximately one hour. Twenty-seven percent of the chip cost occurs here. Mr. Ennis suggested that separate contracts and a piecework pay system got everyone working as a team and the result was economically better than other sources of chips. Mr. Ennis concluded his talk by stating that presently 61% of the wood required in Minnesota is filled by total chips and that this could rise to 83% in the future and that Boise Cascade would probably purchase another chipping machine. Dr. Bender, formerly of Research Lab in was the next speaker. F. Federal the Ottawa Dr. Bender was involved programme in a to study the use of wood sawdust and chips as a food stuff for cattle and other animals with four-part stomachs. He stated that sawdust has been used as a bulk food from time immemorial but its low digestibility in untreated form prevented its use as a continuous diet. Dr. Bender found through his experiments that poplar had the untreated digestibility (15%l of the woods he tested. best He stated that 40% digestibility was required to sustain stock and that 45% enabled daily wight gain.

The team played very well as a unit and was assisted by some great defensive work by Mike DesjalTdins. The fellow from the east end, Allen Raman, should be nominated for an academy award for his performance in their last game of the season. longlac, wis Team I, ^ Don Laponen, brought up from our farm team in th» scoring race this year. Congrats to Don L. mostly third year boys, wound up in the championship in the consolation league after thrashing Forestry III in the semi-finals. Forestry III cleared the bench in the last minute and still couldn't score a goal on Gary "reflex" McKellar who took over for G. Cowman who retired the pad's halfway through the season to take on an offensive role on the team. Leading scorer on Team II was Gord "sticky stick" LeMaistre, and this season, Dave Ried and Bob Mitchell after four years in intramural hockey finally got their first goals of their careers. Team III had steady performances from the goaly, Paul "stingy" Jewiss and the line of Aho, MacGuillivray and Olson.

After a season of 8 wins, (5 by default) and 1 loss, the team not having played for seven weeks lost two in a row in the playoffs. The offensive punch was maintained by the Two Terrible Thompson' and Paul "the Jew" Jewiss. Burt Kemp when called upon showed some startling moves under the basket and some of the "Jocks" were left standing there without any. Team II led by Pete "the streak" Copi3, John "Dunker" Marchingtcn and Dan "Baseline" Readman managed 3 wins and several near misses. Better luck next year Tech. Team III the sleeper team came through with several wins at the start of the season but seemed to fade away towards the end. This was the first year team and it looks like they are in for better times (maybe next year, or the year after, or the year after that... etc.) Team IV was slapped together with some spirit and hope. Half way through the season they ran out of bottled spirits and their hope disintegrated, so they dropped out of the league. Despite this they received steady performances from Ray "Hookshot" Rivard and waiter "Fats" Palubiski. Dave Ried had a little trouble dunking, but also played a steady game. ��MISCELLANEOUS Nanibijou's Paddle - The forestry canoe which held Steve Paul, Carson Herrick, Gunther Herbert and Greg Cowman finished in 4 th spot with a Lots of thanks to the other guys who showed up but time of 3:30:2. were just too slow or sunk.

In the playoffs I don't think we won one game. During the season a lot of support came from Dave "knuckle serve" died and Bill "spike" Murphy, especially when the serves landed in and the spikes finally came down. The story in the playoffs was that the serves never landed in and the spikes never came down. Oh well?? �FLOOR HOCKEY Roger Brown Mike Horbor Scott Baxter John Buitenhuis Hod Nash Frank Beck Jim Umpherson Allan Raman Glenn drown John Warren Jim Myers Ray Pilkey Well our floor hockey team came in third overall in this sport. I won't mention that there were only three teams in the league. Jim Flash Myers was the top scorer for Forestry with 15 goals and 15 assists for 30 points. Jim ended up in third in the scoring race. Good show guys and better luck next year. SQUALLEYBALL Bill Murphy, Roger Brown and G. Cowman were Forestry representatives in the squalleyball tournament. Squalley ball is something like volleyball only you can play the ball off the walls of a squa3h court. It's a good fast game, so fast in fact each team only played one game and the season ended. Forestry won it's only game played so we can claim a share in the squalleyball championship with three other teams. SUMMARY I would like to thank all those fellows sho participated in the 71-72 sports program. We didn't win much in the way of championships, but we had a lot of fun doing it. We can, at least, take consolation in the fact that we are second to none in spirit and second place finishes A special vote of thanks should go out to the coaches and managers for getting their teams up for most of the games and also for those ardent few who showed up to the games to cheer their teams on to... well, cheer them on, anyway. Next year with a full four year degree program and many stars returning, the road to a championship for Forestry is nearly at an end. — J . G. Cowman P-S. As an added note. At the S.A.S. Dinner dance on Friday March 24, we were told that we had 47% of the fellows in Forestry out to play one sport or another throughout the year. As a result we were pre- sented with the Faculty participation Trophy, I (ie.

The Carnival windup ball was dropped as an end to the festivities and replaced by a bandarama which turned out to be very popular. The King Prince, Princess Contest, the Snow Sculpture and the parade were also dropped as officially sanctioned A. M.S. functions. The Prince and Princess contest eventually was picked up and sponsored by the Geology Club to whom we owe thanks for showing some spirit.

This is because the Forester is too willing to compromise his position based on proven scientific facts and acquired experiences; To gain the status he seeks, the Forester must develop and pursue with determination every opportunity to be heard, then consistently present a sound message with conviction.

Well that's it you are sure you're going to die.. Well here is a handy dandy guide to follow that should help you determine if you're really going to die ..... . If you're about to d1e, you'll begm to notice several terrifying sensations and cosmic revelations as the phenomenal ve1l is ripped away, revealing, for the first t1me smce the last time you passed away from the organic world, the endless, eternal, unveiled kingdom of the vo1d At the same t1e, you'll experience a mmd-numbmg personal cataclysm as you're hurtled at twice the speed of light into a dark and unknown world in which everything seems almost the same as 1t was before, only more so. Don't worry about those strange new feelings and cosm1c thoughts. They're not Important. After all, you're dead I What more can happen? After you've taken rebirth you'll be able to look back on all this and laugh. These sensations are useful for anticipating your exact moment of passage. And 1f you've had lots of previous practice, you will be able to use these sensat1ons to call forth a senes of special psychological, emotional and instinctive mechanisms, which will help you maintain a sense of eqUIIibnum--albeit false--during the total loss of memory, vision, sensat1on and identity you'll experience as you are dragged inevitably through the protal of death. It's so easy to just expel your last breath 1n a s1gh of relief and fall facefirst into your plate of spaghetti and meatballs, m total surrender to the perfect, shinmg, endless vo1d, wh1ch 1s w1thout ObJects, states of consciousness, Identity, time, space, filled parkmg lots and those empty weekends you've been struggling to hold onto When you have finally g1ven up the effort of tryinc to maintain your organ1c headbram personal1dent1ty, you'll understand the mystique of peanut butter by the spoonful. As the ve11 is lifted. you'll feel several sensations grouped together as a series of symptoms, the first of wh1ch is a heavy pressure, like melting into an all-wool umon suit while wearing a pa1r of lead boots Don't worry about this; you've probably got a good 15 to 90 minutes left to handle any last mmute details, and if you have a friend v1sitmg your death bed -- and your fnend IS so mclmed --you still have time for a wonderfully refreshmg foot massage. The second sensation will be a clammy coldness alternating with sweating, as if your body were burning up. This 1s just one symptom of hypothermia, in which the body's heat is reduced to lethal levels, Hey, nothmg to worry about- passage is still mmutes away! �The third sensation is a definite feeling that your body IS about to explode. You may actually feel that you've been blown to smithereens and dispersed by the wind. Now, you have somethmg to worry about! Passage is only moments away. Try to relax and think of something pleasant. The fourth sensation isn't really a sensation - it's a total lack of sensations. Suddenly, although your mind has miraculously opened up and provided a breathtaking and profound view of all creation, it doesn't refer to anything. This vision plus 80 cents will get you a one way ride on a city bus. In addition to these sensations, there may be other feelings, psychological events, interludes, fugues, or other minor disorders, which ocur prior to passage from the orgainc world to wherever you're going . You might experience a loss of control over you facial muscles, causing an insipid smile or that unoccupied look usually reserved for grad students. You might periodically lose your hearing, or words and phrases that made sense before might not make the same sense they made before when you understood what they were saying by the words and phrases they might be understood and made sense before when you understood what they meant by what they said to you as you were listening . There may be a loss of sight or radical changes in your vision vision v1sion. Your breath might be ragged, particularly is you're getting more than just a foot massage. It is possible that you will find yourself shivering or sweating and havmg an uncontrollable desire to remove your clothes and walk around. Unless you're expected to recover, this may well be a good idea. Who knows what last minute adventures might be m store for you? You may feel a lethargic calm descend over you . If you've spent your life on a graduate fellowship or as a government employee, you probably won't notice th is. There might be a loss of attention, caused by falling over unconscious on the floo r. You may notice that your breathing stopped several minutes ago and that you can't move your limbs. In this case don't bother trying to talk. When all these symptoms of approaching death have been completed , someone should gently whisper the following words into your ear: "So long sucker, you're on your own." �STUDENTS MESSAGE ' ' . ,.-:: .

I The standard format of a yearbook is to incl several messages from the faculty etc. I should like to say at this time that had you not noticed it, this is not a traditional yearbook. I have every faith that each of us have memories of person or persons who have greatly infulenced our lives. It is in this spirit that I say at this time that this yearbook is dedicated to all your memories. It has been assembled in the pursuit of fun and frivolity with no malice intent, however I am aware that some may take offense, if that be the case 1 suggest that you not read it. Also, there is a distinct lack of material from the other years due largely to the fact that they didn't get off their butts and submit any material. �\ 1985 THE YEAR WE GRADUATE! �COLUMBIA GRILL & TAVERN SAUCE RIVER LUMBER CO.

The driller called to a man who was sitting in a corner of the drill shack writing in a notebook. The man picked up some of the sludge, looked at the dark brown specks for a moment, and then quietly said, "Well, that's just worth a million dollars to me!" Julian Gifford Cross probably had reason, that March day in 1938, to be much more excited than he appeared to be. The hematite fragments that he held in his hands were the first proof that iron ore lay under the waters of Steep Rock Lake. He must have felt a tremendous sense of satisfaction at that moment in knowing that his theory, developed ten years before had been proved correct. In spite of the set-backs, disappointments, and skepticism from his colleagues, he had stuck stubbornly to his conviction that iron ore lay beneath Steep Rock Lake. The Steep Rock iron ore deposit was not the only major discovery made by Julian Cross. In the late 1920' s, Julian and his brother John staked claims at It was on these claims that they Shebandowan Lake in Northwestern Ontario. discovered the Shebandowan nickel deposit. In the early 1930' s, INCO purchased the claims from the Cross brothers for $250,000 and, a good portion of this amount became the seed money for the start of exploration at Steep Rock Lake. Those who knew Julian Cross, when asked to describe him, invariably used For the man who words like "quiet", "tenacious", "persistent", and "kindly". was the discoverer of two major orebodies he was completely unspoiled. He is and a remarkably best known, and probably happiest as a prospector successful one with a packsack on his back, and a prospector's pick in his hand. — — — Taylor, B., 1978, Steep Rock The Men and the Mines Quetico Publishing, Atikokan Ontario, 144p. �YOUR UNIVERSITY Serving Northwestern Ontario since 1965 . . .

Exploring for petroleum in Turkey, Nigeria, France and Colombia, 1956-64 Associate Professor, Lakehead University 1966-78 Professor, Lakehead University 1978-present Dean of Science at Lakehead 1975-present The primary areas of research in which I have been involved during the past several years are late-Quaternary paleomagnetic studies and sediment- ologic studies. The paleomagnetic studies consist of determining the late- Quaternary paleo-declination , paleo-inclination, paleo-susceptibility and paleo-magnetic intensity columns for northern Lake Superior for time parallel correlation purposes. This study has been extended into eastern Lake Superior and Lake Huron to provide a time parallel correlation grid for the Great Lakes. In addition, the natural remanent magnetic direction will be used to determine the virtual geomagnetic path for the late-Quaternary. The sedimentological studies were centred around the Batchawana Bay area and emphasize the use of grain size parameters as determined by the method of moments to discriminate environment and sub -environment processes. The Batchawana area, which comprises a number of sedimentological environments, will be used as a model for the post-glacial sediments exposed along the eastern part of Lake Superior and for the deep-water lakes in general. �Dr. Edward Mercy , B.Sc., Ph.D., D.I.C. Background Lecturer in Geology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, England Lecturer in Geology, later Senior Lecturer in Edinburgh, Scotland Geology, University of Professor of Geology and Chairman of the Department, Lakehead University 1967-76 Professor of Geology at Lakehead 1976-present Most of the existing textbooks of geochemistry are disappointing to anyone who has a real interest in the subject matter. They are disappointing because, in attempting to be comprehensive, they trivialize the subject. There are serious economic constraints on the size and cost of a publication intended primarily for the university student market. Comprehensiveness flies out the window and the house is occupied by a poor half-starved creature masquerading as geochemistry. The falsity of his pose is compounded by hie declaration that parts of mineralogy and petrology may be offered as substantial fare for those who hunger after knowledge. The essence of this purveyor of mis-inf ormation is his belief that he knows about that which he writes and that all that he writes is all that is needful to know. That he does it deliberately can hardly be maintained. That he does it at all must be because he knows no better. A serious critic ought to be prepared to redress the iniquities he discovers in others even though in doing so he may impose upon himself a task of some considerable magnitude. Naturally, having made the decision to play the role of creator rather than critic, he then seeks to place limitations on the nature and extent of his dissertation so that the result may have a defined purpose. Despite the gross enlargement and mis-use of the term in recent years, geochemistry is properly concerned with the distribution of the chemical elements in Earth and is, in this proper connotation, a fascinating subject of study with important, and sometimes critical, implications for the general scientific understanding of our planet. There are three limitations on the scope of the proposed textbook which provide the essential framework within which the principles of geochemistry may be established. The first is that the overall chemical composition of Earth and the manner of its formation and rapid evolution into a heterogeneous body must be assumed on the basis of the extensive knowledge provided by astronomers, meteoriticists and geophysicists. The second is that the accessible igneous rocks of Earth's crust, knowledge of these being provided by mineralogists and petrologists are suitable objects of study for the provision of the necessary geochemical data. The third is that the writer and the reader have a sufficiently wide and detailed knowledge of geology and chemistry that the discovery and illumination of principles takes place without laborius, tedious and repititious explanation , , Given these parameters and provided that the focus of attention is firmly fixed on the behaviour of the elements, then a textbook can be constructed. Whether it has any principles - the author assumes as a philosophy that principles do exist to be discovered and explained - is for the reader to decide. �Dr. Manfred M. Kehlenbeck, B.A. , M.S., Ph.D. Background Visiting Professor, University of New Brunswick 1969-70 Teaching Fellow, Queen's University 1970-71 Assistant Professor, Lakehead University 1971-76 Associate Professor and Chairman of the Geology Department, Lakehead University 1976-present This past field season began in late April with the field school trip down the not-toosunny shore of Lake Superior. Attempts to reach the Ely greenstone belt and the Soudan iron formation were unsuccessful, and our two vans had to beat a hasty retreat from what rapidly became a winter wonderland. From late May to the end of June, Warren Clendining and I crossed many a farmer's field around Lappe in search of cleavages, graded-beds and pillows with the hope that all these would somehow merge into a coherent story of structure and stratigraphy. It appears that our efforts were not in vain. In late June the sun finally decided to let summer enter Northwestern Ontario. After some very hot and dusty days, we packed up, and along with a rather questionable vessel known simply as "Rubber Dingy", moved north to Dog Lake. secured Pleasant quarters were at the Dog Lake Resort and work proceeded at full speed on the East Bay. After a month on the water, it was time for me to move again. place than the Alps to provide variations in elevation? What better It was rewarding to observe on a grand scale some of the geological structures of this relatively young mountain belt.

This entails not only a knowledge of basic geology and mineralogy but also an appreciation of the fundamentals of mining engineering, metallurgy, economics, and management. In the rapidly changing world of science and technology, specialization is increasing, unfortunately, to the point where the traditional economic geologists are fast becoming an endangered species. This is regrettable but the trend can be reversed. The reversal can be accomplished by informal research consisting of planned reading of journals in which case histories and techniques are described, by attendance at meetings of earth scientists with similar interests, and plain old If I am permitted to extend only one piece of "bull sessions" with one's peers. advice to budding economic geologists, it is to read, listen and ask questions.

Mitchell, B.Sc., M.Sc., Ph.D. Background Lecturer in Isotope Geochemistry, University of Oslo, Norway 1971-72 Assistant Professor, Lakehead University 1972-76 Associate Professor, Lakehead University 1976-present Since the publication of the last Geology Journal, I have been on sabbatical leave in Australia and reflecting on the fact that being a geologist presents one with unrivalled opportunities for travel and the possibility of visiting places the casual tourist would never stumble upon - places such as the Spinifex Inn Disco in the Western Desert, the Orroroo Railway Hotel or Noonkanbah Tank No. 5. Visiting such "places" enables one to obtain a feeling for a country which is not available to the short-term visitor. Consequently, those of you who have doubts about your chosen profession, whilst learning the ontogeny of graptolites or standing amidst the black flies on a swampy greenstone belt, remember that being a geologist will enable you to combine travel with a stimulating occupation if you take advantage of the many employment options open to you. Whilst in Australia, I found that the public generally respected geologists and were aware of the nature of their work, presumably as a consequence of many of Life for the the towns having their origins as exploration bases or mine sites. geologist in the field is, compared to Canada, relatively pleasant; a warm (to very hot) and dry climate (unless you are in the monsoon areas) plus the ability to drive almost anywhere - no muskeg, few trees, no portages, no second-growth! , The bulk of my sabbatical leave was spent irradiating myself at the University of Melbourne where I obtained new insights into the geochemistry of gold, I also saw numerous recent volcanic iridium and palladium in garnet lherzolites. rocks, studied the art of chronomancy (or fission track geochronology), and gained some familiarity with Australian painting.

Garth Platt , B.Sc., Ph.D. Background Visiting Professor, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 1969-70 NRC Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Western Ontario 1970-71 N.E.R.C. Research Fellow and Staff Member, University of Edinburgh, Scotland 1971-74 Assistant Professor, Lakehead University 1974-78 Associate Professor, Lakehead University 1978-present So it is now two years since my last contribution to the Geology Journal. If I recall, the last communication ended with the safe completion of a nephelinite , basanite, phonolite hunt to Bathurst Island, N.W.T. Subsequent work has shown that the hunt was a success. The bonus of discovering the first occurrence of olivine melilitite in Canada merely added icing to the cake. These continental rift valley volcanics are presently the object of geochemical, petrological and mineralogical studies. The first results will be discussed at a field workshop on volcanism in rift and intraplate environments in July 1979 during a field trip concerned with the alkaline vulcanism associated with Cenozoic stretching in Western Europe. The main research thrust has continued to be the Coldwell Alkaline Complex, a location dear to the heart of many a Geology major from Lakehead. What greater delight is there than the Pic Disco, the Everest Hotel, the Red Dog dining-room, Red Sucker Cove and Ministry girls from Neys Provincial Park? Recent work has centered on the Nepheline Syenites and the numerous dikes intersecting the intrusion. Currently M. McGill and B. Jago are completing a detailed study of the Southwestern margin of the intrusion for their honours theses. This large alkaline complex will continue to be the source of many challenging theses in the years to come. Evidence is slowly emerging on the presence of past carbonate-rich magmatic activity just to the west of the Coldwell Complex. The McKellar Harbour region is the locus of numerous C0 2 -rich, K^O-rich ultrabasic lamprophyres which could easily be mistaken for kimberlites (Diamonds!) but which are most likely related to carbonatites These dikes contain varying proportions of olivine, phlogopite, calcite, apatite, spinel, perovskite and melilite and one contains significant amounts of a very rare Zr-rich, Ti-rich andraditic garnet. As of now only four These dikes are believed to localities in the world are known for this mineral. be associated with the activity responsible for the formation of the Prairie Lake Carbonatite lying some 35 kilometres to the north of McKellar Harbour. .

Postdoctoral Fellow, CANMET, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa 1974-75 Assistant Professor, Lakehead University 1975-79 Associate Professor, Lakehead University 1979-present My research activities over the past year and summer, in particular, have been varied and quite interesting. I placed my work on tin-bearing sulphides on the back burner for a while, having reached several impasses on that subject. My efforts since then have been concentrated on some new projects. After completion of my work pertaining to spring term and field school in 1979, I spent a few weeks readying a paper for publication. This was followed by the frantic preparation of an abstract for the Meteoritical Society meeting which was held later in the summer. My next project was a jaunt into the field with M. Lucko to examine pegmatites in and around the Quetico Belt along Highway 527. We observed numerous pegmatites, one moose, and experienced the coldest June weather to my recollection. There were, however, essentially no bugs! In early July, I took my wife and two small children to the Los Angeles area. did nothing geological except to attempt to find the San Andreas Fault as we flew over it. I returned home impoverished and in need of another holiday. Unfortunately this was not forthcoming, and I found myself readying my paper for the Meteoritical Society. In doing so I happened to learn that Dr. Borradaile was editing a book. I volunteered a contribution on shock structures in iron meteorites. My meteorite work dealt with the sulphide mineralogy in one of the chemical groups of iron meteorites and the various implications one could make from such studies. Although much of my data had been collected some time ago, I found some gaps which necessitated a one week visit to the University of Toronto to use their electron microprobe. I As a guest of the University I was allowed to stay in the Medieval splendour of Hart House, where my room was furnished with antique French Canadian furniture complete with original paintings by Sir Frederick Banting. My probing work went quite well and for once, I was able to do some additional work on silver -mercury minerals from the Stanley area west of Thunder Bay and, on indium-bearing sulphides from New Brunswick. Upon my return to Thunder Bay a few weeks were spent preparing my paper on iron meteorites and, in the last week of August, I left for Germany where the Meteoritical Society was meeting. I spent a week on my own in Southwestern Germany and a week in Heidelberg attending the meeting. My presentation was well received, and I was satisfied that the trip had been worthwhile from the standpoints of both business and pleasure. I returned to Thunder Bay thirty-six hours before the start of classes. �Dr. Roy J. Shegelski , H.B.Sc., M.S., Ph.D. Background University of Toronto 1973-77 Lecturer at Lakehead University 1976-78 Assistant Professor, Lakehead University 1978-present I am pleased that the Geology Club is continuing the yearbook and wish them the best of luck in their endeavours. I have been investigating strata in Northwestern Ontario for the past summer and have experienced both success and failure. The field conditions around Thunder Bay are pleasant; pollution keeps the fly population down, tourist-ridden parks provide well worn pathways to outcrops, and the beautiful scenery along the Current River is enhanced by bikini-clad beauties which proved to be a major distraction to section measuring by assistant B. Cheadle and myself. What was that thickness now? The field season ended with a bang some 40 miles east of Pickle Lake on Lake St. Joseph as B.

My family and I came to Thunder Bay for the beginning of the school year in 1978, after having lived and worked in Amsterdam for the previous five years We have now settled in the bush just outside of town and, according to the time of year, we greatly enjoy chopping wood, skiing, attempting to canoe and digging snow. After a hectic first year translating and paraphrasing my Dutch teaching notes (which hopefully helped the class!), Together with Dr. Kehlenbeck I I was able to enjoy my first Canadian summer. collected data on metamorphism from the shores of Dog Lake (excellent for surfing but awful for boatlanding) , and I have also been researching into "fault rocks" (mylonites, pseudotachylite, cataclasite, ...etc). The fault rocks occur in several belts, each perhaps a kilometre wide and hundreds of kilometres long, in the shield of N.W. Ontario. The most spectacular example, the Quetico "fault", just north of the city has been the focus of my attention. I have pursued other more theoretical research, partly using recently acquired data, concerning changes in temperature distribution with time in metamorphic belts and grain-boundary sliding in metamorphic rocks. I much enjoyed working with Howard Poulsen and Myra Kennedy on their respective metamorphic/structural research topics last summer. I also greatly profited from their help in sampling, looking at the local geology and in thinking about geology in general. I hope that those of you who will be graduating and leaving LU this session will carry equally pleasant memories of 1978-79 and that you never forget all your sunny, blue-skied student days at Lakehead. �K.H.

Franklin 1972-75 Senior Technician and Faculty Assistant, Lakehead University 1975-present In addition to my full-time duties as departmental hockey convener and as Hoots’ official interpreter, part of the past year has been spent maintaining and supervising the geochemistry laboratory. The initiation of the graduate program has seen a renewed demand for geochemical analyses performed both by myself and graduate students. Our whole rock and trace element analytical programme, while centered in our own laboratory, relies heavily on apparatus housed in the Science Instrumentation Laboratory which is maintained by Dr . T. Griffith and his staff. Our students are very fortunate to gain hands-on experience in this facility on equipment that actually works! Aside from the above departmental responsibilities, the past year has been occupied with my continuing research interest, the Precambrian geology of the Rainy Lake region. Of particular interest to me was a workshop on the geology of the International Boundary held at Fort Frances in May 1979. Valuable discussions were held with officers of the Geological Survey of Canada, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Ontario Geological Survey, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and university representatives. numerous outcrops. Seminar presentations were followed by visitation to It might be pointed out that the most memorable exposures were seen at an establishment known as "Nick's Zoo" where the role of fluids in geology was heartily discussed. Unfortunately I failed to record the attitudes of minor structures in my notebook so that stereographic representation of the results is not possible. �Ronald Bennett Ron is the "guiding light", the "shepherd" if you will, within our geology department. For friendly advice or a good ol’ Scottish yarn, Ron's the man to see! He was the Chief Laboratory Technician at the Grant Institute of Geology, University of Edinburgh, Scotland from 1936 to 1967. In 1967 he joined the Geology Department staff at Lakehead and, as our principal technician, he does specialized work related to faculty research projects. Outside of the university Ron is an active participant in Kaministiquia community functions. He is an avid fisherman and carpenter, and enjoys putting his homebuilt sauna to good use. Sam Spivak - Chief Draftsman Principal Technician Map Librarian The majority of my working hours (in this second decade as an employee of this fine establishment) are spent preparing maps, diagrams, teaching aids and special displays as well as a substantial number of illustrations for research publications. A fair amount of time is spent in the maintaining of and cataloguing of new acquisitions to our map library. A regional seminar on "cartographic techniques" was held at Sir Sanford Fleming College early in I was fortunate to have attended this seminar 1979. for the purpose of acquainting myself with some of the new ideas for, and methods of, map production. My extra curricular activities within the university include organizing and participating in the annual student-faculty-staff hockey games as well as being an active participant on the squash courts �Ain Raitsakas Ain was born in England, but was fortunate enough to have emigrated to Canada at an early enough age to avoid the obviously deleterious effects of such a birthright. He was educated at the University of Waterloo and at Lakehead University Since 1973 Ain has been associated with the Geology Department through his work with the federally supported Seismographic Station at Lakehead, lending a prestige and sophistication to the department that is uncommon in such an earthbound discipline. Bill Mcllwaine Bill was born in Toronto and received his early education there. His high school and university educations were obtained in England and at the University of New Brunswick respectively. After spending fifteen years working in the bush, ten of them as a field geologist with the Ontario Government, he decided that more of his time should be spent at home. With this in mind. Bill joined the Geology Department staff at Lakehead in 1978. As a lab technician much of his time is spent at the grind in the geology lab in the basement of the Centennial Building. It is here that all of the departmental thin sections for teaching and research are prepared. �.

Ben Berger I graduated with an H.B.Sc. Geology degree from McMaster University in 1975. Between 1975 and 1978 I worked for Noranda Exploration and was based out of their Thunder Bay office. I spent the summers of 1978-79 working for Selco Mining Corporation in the Thunder Bay area, Ontario and the Kamloops area, B.C. respectively. My employment with Selco and Noranda has provided me with mapping, geochemistry, and geophysics experience in both base metals and uranium exploration. In 1978 I enrolled in the M.Sc. program at Lakehead University. My thesis work involves the compilation of volcanic and sedimentary stratigraphy in the Lake St. Joseph area of Northwestern Ontario. My second year of studies at Lakehead has been enlightened by the fun and games to be had with the third year class while trying to teach them ore petrology and the finer points of "Crest-manship" John Mason For the I graduated from Lakehead University in 1975. last five years I have been employed with the Ontario Geological Survey (formerly the Ontario Division of Mines), Ministry of Natural Resources, Thunder Bay as Geologist Assistant and presently as Resource Geologist. The Thunder Bay office of OGS is responsible for an area from White River in the east to Atikokan in the west and north to the 54th parallel. My M.Sc. thesis concerns the Archean stratigraphy of Precambrian the Kaministiquia Area west of Thunder Bay. stratigraphy and economic geology are my main fields of interest. �Scott Cheadle I completed my H.B.Sc. in Geology at Lakehead University following two years in the Department of Geophysics and Astronomy My summer work experience has included mapping with at U.B.C.

As part of the M.Sc. program, my work in the Barnum Lake area is continuing to include a broader magnetic and gravimetric survey of the area and a more detailed modelling attempt at the My three dimensional configuration of the structures present. principal interests in geology are crustal evolution and Archean Tectonics. Outside of geology, my interests include skiing, hiking, cameras, certain fretted instruments, the Rockies and Export Ale during numerous evenings in front of televised football. Doug Lehto In leafing through past editions of the Geology Journal, notice that it provides most people with an opportunity to summarize their most recent activities in geology. Since my summer activities in 1979 can be summed up in terms of building a "home" in Thunder Bay, I will begin my geologically related tale from the time of my graduation from Lakehead University. After graduating in the spring of 1975, I joined the staff of the Geology Division, Saskatchewan Research Council, Saskatoon, and worked with them until April of 1979. I consider myself fortunate to have arrived in Saskatchewan at the "dawn" of the latest rush in uranium exploration. During the summer of 1975 I became involved in a geochemical study at the Duddridge Lake uranium discovery. It certainly was a new experience for me having previously worked in base metal exploration in Ontario and having left Lakehead with a thesis on structural geology fresh in my mind. How quickly one adapts! I later became involved in other multi-media geochemical projects and, it was during this period that my interests were directed towards lake sediment geochemistry. And so I find myself back at Lakehead as a graduate student doing research in lake sediment geochemistry. My current research involves an investigation of uranium partitioning in recent lake, stream, and bog sediments from Northern Saskatchewan.

The question of her availability, however, will have to be taken up with John. She is a diligent worker, but always has time for a smile for everyone. Heather enjoys outdoor activities, especially snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and geophysics!?! Swimming and reading are other favourite pastimes. Heather's organizational skills were evident from the excellent socials she planned as social coordinator for the Geology Club for 3 years. Heather has gained much valuable experience through summer employment. After her first year in geology, Heather tackled the major companies and worked for Noranda in Northwestern Ontario. Her next summer was spent in another area of Northwestern Ontario working for Shell. After third year, Heather accepted a position with Shell in SE Nova Scotia near Yarmouth. This summer she will be back in NW Ontario working for AMAX And then who knows??? Thesis Topic: Paleomagnetic Study of the Quaternary Sediments of the Goderich Basin, Lake Huron. The natural remnant magnetism of the lake bottom sediments of the Goderich Basin, was used as a correlation factor between two cores retreived from there. The paleo-declination and paleo-inclination values obtained from the sediments were plotted versus depth. Correlateable peaks represent sediments of a comparable age. This method of correlation was found to apply to sediments of a small basinal area as well as to the Great Lakes area. ' . Randv Farmer I'm one of the 'fortunate' few doing a structural thesis. At least, everyone tells me I'm doing a structural thesis. Basically, I'm looking at a small lense of sediments about five miles north of Thunder Bay. The general purpose of the study is to determine from structural and textural evidence, the relationship of the sediments to the surrounding rocks and their nature of deformation. I've spent two summers in the bush; The first one in 1978 with Falconbridge Copper and the other in 1979 with Selco Mining. With Falconbridge I worked in the Savant Sturgeon Lake area. Basically, we just lazed around on the beach, and participated in the weekly Ignace to Sturgeon Lake (for which I clocked the fastest time of 38 time - trials Once in awhile we got bored, and minutes), and went fishing. looked at some rocks. My second summer with Selco was spent in northern Manitoba mapping in gneissic terrain for base metals My future interests after graduating are to work the summer, then take the winter off and do some travelling. Then, I think I'll be ready to try and find permanent employment in geology. �Tim Howson Now that my four years at Lakehead are finished, I can proceed with my real interests. I am presently negotiating for a job as a taste tester with a large rum distillery in the Barbados. During the off season I plan to work as a test driver for Yamaha Motorcycles Incorporated and as a fishing guide in Northern Ontario. My future geological interests lie in finding the famed diamond deposit of Northern Canada, which must be at the bottom of Hudson Bay. Secondly, I would like to stake and develop a small placer gold operation and rum distillery on the Yukon River However, after several summers of uranium work, I am proceeding into real geology (so I am told). I have signed as a base metal geologist with Falconbridge Nickel. The job involves mapping volcanics near Snow Lake Manitoba. Past work experience: Summer 1977 - Mapping as a Junior Assistant with O.G.S. near Sault Ste. Marie Summer 1978 - Mapping and prospecting with Eldorado Nuclear Ltd., near Uranium City, Sask. Summer 1979 - Mapping with O.G.S. in the Grenville Province near Bancroft Bruce Jago Hi there, I'm one of the lucky few who is working on the Coldwell Alkaline Complex for a thesis this year. By-the-way, the word 'Complex' is not misleading, not at all.'! Long ago and far away, when Lake Superior tried to become an ocean, the Coldwell Complex was born. A deep seated mantle rock began to melt and caused the formation of three related alkali rich and silica deficient magmas to rise and form a roughly circular intrusive complex. Associated with each phase was brecciation of pre-existing rocks, the formation of complex pegmatites & possibly large scale faulting. Indeed, before erosion lasting for a billion years removed the land surface, a volcanic ediface was probably present. My thesis concerns the description of the main rock units and their intrusive relationships at the western contact. Lots of fun you ask?, you bet! My summer experience in geology includes working for Noranda in 1977, and Shell in 1978 and 1979. Each season I was beating it around the bush looking for copper and zinc in volcanic terrains. Saw lots of wildlife, had a good time, but broke alot of hearts. You see I met the cutest little moose and.... But seriously, the best camps have women in them. All oink oink aside girls, it's more like home with panty hose hanging on the jackpines. My interests in geology lie in gold, silver, diamonds, strange igneous rocks and making money on the stockmarket. My interests outside of geology include making my own hooch, economics, the great outdoors, sports, women and antiques. �. ! . Myra Kennedy As one of the few females in geology at Lakehead Myra is just like one of the boys. (Not even strip joints or , advertisements that come in plain brown envelopes ever produce the expected traditional blush.) A very hard worker Myra can always be depended on to come to our rescue with the right answers for labs that are due immediately. She enjoys cross-country skiing (as long as the wineskin is within easy reach) and playing squash. Various aspects concerning food are also of great interest to her, and she can really bake up a storm for those Christmas socials Myra was employed by the government for two summers, first on a local Experience '77 program associated with the Regional Geologist's Office, looking at scenic features of geological interest in the area. The second summer she worked as a junior field assistant in an ODM field party near Sioux Lookout. After that, more cushy jobs became available, and she spent the summer after third year as a research assistant for Dr. Borradaile. This summer, employment with Dr. Borradaile is again a possibility as well as work on her master's thesis. Myra's honours thesis is a study of structure and metamorphism across the Quetico belt from Shabaqua to Raith, Ontario. The study is essentially a traverse ( about 30 km in length) along highway 17 and the CNR and CPR railway lines A sociological study accompanies the thesis on the effects of repeated blasts from transport truck horns while one is clinging to the sides of large road outcrops - echo, echo!!! , . W. Michael Lucko Mike is a busy and hard working guy. Not only is he subjected to the normal rigors of Geology IV, but he is kept on the go by his wife Edna, and sons Eric, Randy, and Adam (arriving during years I, II, and III respectively of Mike's years at L.U.) This year Mike and Edna seem to have broken their record. The three boys (otherwise known as the terrors of Dacre Street) are of great help to their father in collecting rock samples. (They think the "pigs" are really neat.) Mike has worked for the past few summers on the notorious "Black Gang" at Northern Wood Preservers in Thunder Bay, thus managing to be with his family. Mike and family are now off to Mayo, Yukon Territory, where he will work as a mine geologist Mike's thesis examines the pegmatites ("pigs"), of the Ouetico Belt along Hwy. 527.

Bill Palmer In the beginning, geology was an interest of mine which spanned both my public school and high school years. I started collecting rocks, minerals, and fossils when I was four. I found geology to be challenging in university, especially second and third year My summer experience includes uranium exploration in the Nipigon area, and gold exploration by geochemical rock and soil sampling in the Timmins district. Falconbridge Nickel was my employer for both jobs. Hudson's Bay Oil and Gas Company employed me in Northern Ontario and Newfoundland in the summer of '79 as a junior involved in geophysical surveys, soil sampling, line cutting and stream sampling. Besides learning about various aspects of geology during the last three summers, other valuable lessons were learned. For instance, repeating the same type of survey can often lead to boredom, but with enough patience and perseverance, one can overcome this. The results are satisfying to say the least My interests outside of geology include fishing, sailing, motorcycling and badminton. Future endeavours will include being a geologist and raising a family. �Jack Parker Jack is one of the more charming and intelligent young geologists of his class, and is often mistaken for Robert Redford. He usually manages to squeeze in time to do schoolwork in his very rigorous partying schedule. He likes to arrive fashionably late to most of his lectures; that's if he arrives at all. However, you can often find him huddled over his thesis rocks with Led Zeppelin blaring out of a tape deck, or sprawled out at an L.U. dance beating his brains with drugs. If you ever want to contact this aspiring young man, his name and phone number can be found scrawled on the walls of most of the men's washrooms at L.U. Tomorrow I'll get my shit together.

Jack's thesis topic is a detailed study of a metasedimentary unit at Finmark. The objective of his research is to determine the environment of deposition of the sediments, and to explain the structure of the area. John Scollie One of the quietest guys in fourth year, John is a native of Thunder Bay, and still lives within a block of where he was born. Although part Italian, he doesn't go in for disco dancing, dressing up, or dingle balls. He does enjoy photography-, watching movies, playing golf, and relaxing. One of his favourite sayings is, "It's too much work". Most of his summers have been spent painting cars, and if you ask him nicely, he may demonstrate to you his prowess with masking tape and a razor blade. Last summer though, John got a taste of the good life, as an employee of the university under Dr. Mothersill. Word has it that he drank alot of coffee, played with alot of mud, cruised the tropical shores of Lake Huron for a month, and still got paid. Aside from finding a gold mine (or even a Titanium mine) John's goals for the future include, one day, becoming as good a photographer as his idol Ansel Adams. A great thinker, John's philosophical outlook can be summed up in a quote from Roseanne Roseannadanna: "It just goes to show you Jane, If it's not one thing, it's another." it's always something.

Warren Clendining Married to a fantastic lady, (who just so happens to be doing this typing), Warren's last few summers of work have involved assisting various professors in their research. This has encompassed such things as collecting mud for Dr. Mothersill, rowing Dr. Kehlenbeck around Hazelwood Lake, and guiding Howard through the wilds of Fort Frances (and surrounding bush). Geologically speaking, the things that interest him most are geophysical methods (yawn) and structural geology. Beyond this lies a strong interest in music - more precisely the trumpet - to which professor Kehlenbeck can attest (not detest) to the devotion. , �John Etches Two summers ago, with some reluctance, I began my life as a geologist working for W.G.

In 1843 an Act of the Provincial Government of Canada (the union of Lower and Upper Canada, formalized in 1840) established the Geological Survey of Canada, with its headquarters in Montreal, the Provincial Capital. Under the direction of Logan an enormous amount of work was completed by him and his colleagues so that in 1863 he was able to see the publication of the monumental ’Geology of Canada' and the first Geological Map of Canada. His own researches are a measure of the stature of the man - explorations in the Lake Superior region north of Lake Huron and aalong the long the Ottawa Valley with the Mattawa Valley to Lake Nipissing; St. Lawrence Valley in Quebec, in the Eastern Townships and in the Gaspe Penninsula In the history of our country the Geological Survey has a prominent place in the flourishing present and is founded on a glorious past, because of the spirit of men like Logan. The promise of the future is in other hands, such as those that produced this Yearbook, but that future is assured as long as the memory of our great fellow countrymen lives on. �Compliments from the office of the President Lakehead University Dr. A.D.

(James Hutton 1726-1797 In the past year a number of developments have taken place which will have an effect on everyone in the Geology Department at Lakehead University. Revisions in the undergraduate programmes and courses were completed. With these changes we believe that our students will be exposed to a more competitive programme which will prepare them for a variety of alternatives upon graduation. In the coming year the Department will embark on its graduate programme which was recently approved by the Council of Ontario Universities. It has taken a great deal of hard work and an even greater amount of patience over many years which now make it possible to provide students the opportunity of a graduate programme in Geology at Lakehead University. Graduate research topics will focus on the Precambrian of the western Superior Province and adjacent regions, and will be centered in the major disciplines of Geology. The presence of graduate students will be of benefit to all of us, for they will form an Integral part of the geological family at Lakehead University. The geological community at large will also experience some significant changes in the next few years. A major portion of the Geological Survey of Canada will be relocated in Thunder Bay by 1980. Among the geologists to be transferred here are members of the Precambrian Division, the Petrology, Geochronology, and Paleomagnetlsm Sections. The Impact of this explosive increase in the geological community is difficult to imagine in all its ramifications. Whatever the outcome, it remains certain that for us all it will provide a previously nearly non-existant setting in which we can readily exchange geological knowledge and ideas. Such an environment will surely enhance the present high level of research activity. In the next few years we will experience the full impact of these changes. In the meantime there remains much for us all to do to ensure that we will benefit the utmost from these developments. May I extend my heartiest congratulations and admiration to all geology students on the successful production of the Geology Yearbook. You have shown yourselves capable of imagination, initiative, boundless energy and perslstance in this worthy undertaking. Your labours will serve future Yearbook organizers well. On behalf of the Geology Department I extend our best wishes to you in your future endeavours. M.M. Kehlenbeck, Chairman �G ��Dr. John S. Mothersill. B.Sc.. B.Sc..

During June, four Alpine piston cores were taken of the sedimentary sequence in the main post-glacial basin of Thunder Bay from a Deep Diving Systems drilling barge. The locations of the cores were picked so that increasingly thicker post-glacial sections would be encountered from the basin margin toward the basin centre. All four cores consisted of the underlying glacial varved section. Seven hundred and eighty— four oriented, two— cm^ samples were taken from along the length of three of the cores (at 3 cm intervals throughout the post-glacial section and at 10 cm intervals throughout the varved section). The declination, inclination, intensity and susceptibility of magnetization and Q ratio (intensity/ susceptibility) of each sample was determined using paleomagnetic equipment at the University of Edinburgh. These data were plotted by computer programme and the declination direction variations were correlated for the two thicker post-glacial section cores. For the postglacial section, five major swiggs occur in declination; the inclination variation is in the order of 35 ; and the susceptibility shows two slight but significant shifts. The uppermost susceptibility shift appears to correspond to the time of the Nipissing phase based on radiocarbon age determinations. Substantial decreases in the intensity and susceptibility of magnetization were noted for the sediments at the base of the post-glacial section. Paleomagnetic directions also were determined after the samples were "cleaned" in a peak field of 200 oersteds to get rid of any extraneous NRM directions. The declination and inclination determinations of the cleaned samples correspond almost identically with the results obtained from the uncleaned samples. Radiocarbon analyses are being carried out on fifteen samples from two of the cores to determine the age of the declination and inclination swings and susceptibility shifts. This age-dated paleomagnetic column will be used for time-parallel correlations throughout the northern and western Lake Superior area. Post-glacial sediments in this basin should provide a continuous or near continuous sedimentary record to assess sedimentation rates and climate changes. Presently, sedimentation rates are being assessed by; a) determinations, b) the variability of the organic C/N content of the samples after treatment with sulphurous acid using a PerkinElmer CRN Analyzer and c) grain-size variability using the Micromeritics Sedigraph 5000 method. These data are presently being compiled. During the summer, a report in methodology for determining asbestos fibre counts Irl water was finalized in conjunction with co-workers from several other laboratories in the province. The method will be recommended to the Ministry of the Environment (Ontario) as the standard method for determining asbestos fibre counts in water. �Dr. Edward Mercy, B.Sc., Ph.D^, D.I.C, Academic Background; Lecturer in Geology, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, England, Lecturer in Geology, later Senior Lecturer in Geology, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Professor of Geology and Chairman of the Department, Lakehead University, 1967-1976 Professor of Geology at Lakehead since 1976. I was granted sabbatical leave by the University for the academic year 1976-77, a welcome break after nine years of administration. The purpose of a sabbatical leave is to relieve the faculty member of his teaching and admin- istration functions and so enable him to renew his primary scholarly interests. Many use the time to develop and strengthen their research work, others write the book they have been thinking about for years. My need was overwhelmingly to catch up on my reading. It is a truism that scientific knowledge is expanding at an explosive rate and that scientists are becoming more and more specialized. In my own field of geochemistry the explosion of knowledge and understanding has been triggered by the great advances in analytical capability brought about by the new science of electronics, without benefit of which my generation did their research work. I am now aware that I can do no more than keep abreast of the new knowledge by reading and dedicated study. It is a major task to separate the dross, of which the system encourages more than is at all reasonable, from the reality of truly new work and insight. My earnest hope is that by continuing study and appraisal my teaching functions, surely the most important aspect of a university professor, may be done at the highest possible level of attainment. �Dr. Manfred M.

The western part of the Superior province is composed of a series of subprovinces which have become better known as belts. Among these structural subprovinces are the Quetico, Shebandowan, and Wabigoon belts. In the area north of Thunder Bay these belts are well exposed, and the rocks within them have been the substance of my research interest for the past six summer seasons. Although my interests range widely, I have become Increasingly more concerned with the spatial and temporal relationships of the rock types of adjacent belts. The Quetico Belt in particular, has held my fascination because it is bounded on the south by the Shebandowan belt and on the north by the Wabigoon belt and therefore offers a perfect target to study the relationships between three adjacent belts. Structurally the Quetico belt is characterized by linear and, to planar elements which produce a dominant east-west grain. These same structural elements in the adjacent belts appear more varied in attitude except near boundaries with the Quetico belt where a zone of transition forms the changeover to the dominant east-west trend of the Quetico belt. a lesser extent, Studies of the lithologies exposed in different belts have shown The metamorphic that essentially similar rock types occur in all the belts. history differs between belts so that the rocks tend to appear different at first glance. Relative abundances of rock types also vary from belt to belt as well as within a single belt. It appears certain that the structural characteristics are among the important criteria by which we can divide the western Superior province into subprovinces or belts. What now appears essential is to establish a tectonic framework which will explain the reasons for the observable structural differences in portions of the Archean crust. i; �Dr. M.W« Bartley, M.Sc., Ph.D. Backgroundj Lecturer University of Toronto 1938-40 Iron Ore Exploration since 1938 Steep Rock Iron Mines development 1940-48 Principal, Lakehead Technical Institute 1948-52 Honary Professor Lakehead University since 1971 President C.I.M. 1976 I am one of the fortunate people who has had a very rewarding experience being involved with mineral exploration, mine development, mine operations and academic endeavours for almost forty-five years. My greatest reward has been the accumulation of many close friends and professional peers, young and old in many parts of the world. Nothing can take the place of friends in one's chosen field of endeavour because they are always a source of enjoyment and a limitless fund of information. I maintain that whatever success I may have had is not the result of what I know but rather who I know and can turn to for advice. After graduation from the University of Manitoba in 1934 and during subsequent post-graduate work I was employed by the Ontario Department of Mines during the field seasons and lectured at the University of Toronto during the academic year.

Our work there sponsored by the Federal Polar Continental Shelf Project, was to make a detailed study of the Freeman's Cove volcanic rocks, these are the second only known occurrence of nephelinite in North America. During the work Dr. Platt did an excellent job as gunbearer, wreaking havoc amongst the oil drums with the 30-06, but failed abyssmally in attracting any polar bears. In fact, the fiercest beast we came across was a long-tailed jaegar. The fall saw me once more in the desert, but this time in the very hot Arizona desert. As a part of the Second International Kimberlite Conference field trips were organized in the U.S„ southwest. Here I collected kimberlites, minettes and pieces of mantle to compliment my studies of Canadian and South African upper mantle material. Much of the field work involved such activities as pushing rubber rafts down the San Juan River Canyon, climbing mountains under the blistering hot sun or coughing ones way around sagebrush and cactus in sandstorms. All very enjoyable and some 70 petrologists were kept on the liquidus by consuming some 5000 cans of beer over ten days. In all this was the most Interesting field work of the year as I saw recent volcanism, the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, the Rio Grande Rift, and a wide variety of igneous rocks. �Dr. R.

Research Fellow and Staff member. University of Edinburgh, Scotland, 1971-74. Assistant Professor, Lakehead University, since 1974 The "summer" season began and ended with organized field trips to the Coldwell Alkaline Complex in N.W. Ontario. The early summer field trip was organized for the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Institute on Lake Superior Geology. A guide book was prepared for the occasion. The late summer trip saw a group of hardy students (some students claimed it snowed - fertile imaginations), studying the complexities of North America's largest alkaline complex and the rigours of life on the North Shore of Lake Superior. In between these events, serious research was continued on the pet- rology of the Coldwell Alkaline Complex with particular emphasis on the nepheline syenites and the dike rocks associated with the intrusion. In addition, preliminary investigations of the Keweenawan Osier Volcanics of Northwestern Ontario were undertaken. The department's research boat was often seen braving the waters of Lake Superior with Dr. Platt in command and Dr. Mitchell navig- ating. Dr. Mitchell's navigation was so bad that the beginning of July saw us both on Bathurst Island in N.W.T.. This trip, under the auspices of the Polar Continental Shelf Project, was made to initiate studies into the geology and petrology of the Freeman's Cove Alkaline Volcanic Suite. This suite, containing as it does, nephellnites, basanites and phonolites is unique to the Canadian Arctic and its study will provide us with valuable information about the geological history of the area. �Dr. Stephen A.

Post Doctoral Fellow, CANMET, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa 1974-75 Assistant Professor, Department of Geology, Lakehead University since 1975. My activities last summer began with the GACMACGEGCGU (basically. Geological Association of Canada / Mlneraloglcal Association of Canada) meeting in Vancouver in late April. As well as presenting* a paper on the new mineral cernyite, Cu CdSnS I attended a field trip to the , southeastern B.C. lead-zinc deposits. My particular aim was to collect specimens from the Sullivan Mine, with the view of examining the tin mineralogy and pyrrhotite-sphalerite geobarometry. On my return to Thunder Bay, I was involved with the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Institute of Lake Superior Geology, hosted by the Department, in the capacity of Technical Sessions Co-Chairman. I also attended the Mattabi field trip as a supernumary. For the remainder of May, I worked on the preparation of journal papers and some geological field problems in the Rabbit Mountain Mine area. My efforts were interrupted by the birth of my daughter, my second child, on May 31st. After two weeks at home, I returned to the University to work on another journal paper on stannite and other tin-bearing sulphide minerals. Continued study on tin-bearing sulphide minerals led me to One the appreciation that two previously undiscovered species exist. is the cubic form of stannite, normally tetragonal Cu FeSnS^, while the 2 other is the iron analogue of kesterite, Cu 2 ZnSnS , which is also tetragonal, but has a space group which differs from that of stannite. In the latter part of August, I spent some time in the field mainly in the reconnaissance study of silver mines in the Rabbit Mountain area. As well, I made a trip to Ottawa to use the facilities at CANMET in order to investigate the two new minerals mentioned earlier and continue some aspects of research on the synthetic system Cu 2 FeSnS^-Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 After all this, I found that the summer was suddenly gone. . F 1 �Roy J. Shegelskl, H.B.Sc., M.S., Ph,D. (pending) Academic Background; University of Toronto 1973-77 Ph.D. pending Lecturer at Lakehead University since 1976 This summer was spent investigating mafic volcanic terrains in the Northwest Territories. The particular areas of study were the Nowyak Lake area and the Griffin Lake area which are within 60 km of each other and located in NTS sector 65G. The areas are located within the Churchill Pro- vince and are Archean in age. The predominant lithologies of the areas include pillowed and massive basalts with subordinate amounts of ultramafic flows ( some showing splnifex textures), banded and laminated oxide facies iron formations, chertz sulphide facies iron formations and minor felsic pyroclastic and volcanoclastic tuffs and sediments. These areas were being investigated for massive sulphide potential. Results of the follow up to geophysical airborne and ground surveys in one of the areas led to the delineation of several favourable zones of nickel sulphide mineralization, in fact results are so encouraging that I cannot talk of them I The summer was relatively wet; the black flies were bad but the crews were great and included two able assistants from L.U.; R.

My contribution to the LSI meeting centered around a 2-day postconference field trip to the Mattabl and NBU massive sulphide deposits. The trip, which entertained 46 geologists from all parts of North America, stressed the geological setting and genesis of the deposits based on the research of James Franklin of the Geological Survey of Canada. Jim and I spent a good deal of time organizing the trip in conjunction with the mine geologists as well as preparing a trip guidebook which summarized much of our research work at Sturgeon Lake carried out in the interval 1972-75. The summer saw the arrival of three graduate students from GeologischPaleontologisches Institut, University of Hamburg, West Germany. Frank, Rudi and Claus had come to Thunder Bay to study iron formations as part of their graduate thesis requirements at Hamburg and informally allied themselves with our Department for the summer. Their stay here provided many interesting insights into geological education in Germany in comparison with the type of programme offered by our own University. Of particular interest was their reason for coming to Canada for field work; they had the sinking feeling that possible hundreds of geologists had already worked on most of the exposures in Germany. Our own fourth year students can take heart from this, considering the novel field aspect of most of their bachelor's theses. One particularly fine sunny day found me aboard a barge in the middle of Thunder Bay harbour as part of a crew Involved in the retrieval of four 50 foot piston cores of lake bottom sediment. The project was headed by Dr. Mothersill who is using the materials collected to study various aspects of the evolution of Lake Superior during the past 12,000 years. Although this project was of short duration ( one day ), it was most enjoyable and I didn't even get sea sick. 1 v' �Rona Id Bennett Ron was the Chief Laboratory Technician at the Grant Institute of Geology, University of Edinburgh from 1936 to 1967.

Thesis Topic: Geology and Mineralogy of The Beaver Junior Mine The Beaver Junior Mine is one of the many workings in the northeast trending mainland belts of silver mines in the Thunder Bay area. It is located near the village of Stanley in the Thunder Bay District. The study of this mine involved a descriptive survey of the structure and geology and sampl- ing for petrographic studies. Mineralogical investigation was based primarily on polished and thin section studies. Geology was determined from detailed mapping of the vein and various structures in close proximity to the mine adit. The final objective of this thesis was to draw conclusions concerning the paragenesis of this type of deposit.

Dipix Pedenchuck- This creature, native to the Thunder Bay area, may be found in its natural state in and about the Geology Department. It has been known to visciously attack cars, in particular - Bugis Volkswagonis, by kicking various parts and leaving said parts of this species scattered across the Thunder Bay region. When not found in the hallowed halls of Lakehead University it may be found scuba diving in the waters of Lake Superior or snowmobiling across the countryside. Nocturnal activities include Geology socials, Ukranian da^ices and/or defiling parked vehicles (notably Plymouth Furylx) This known instigator of practical jokes may be associated with its neighbouring species - Stickus Romaninskl - in the structural lab. This association, known in the scientific world as the Dipstick relation, has been known to cause dlsasterous effects. A final word of caution, this species may become violent when compared to a Cumberland Street drunk. The boundary between the Shebandowan-Wawa volcano-plu tonic belt and the Quetico Gneiss belt has been taken by some to be a distinct hiatus separating these two belts as being critically different subprovinces. Still others have suggested that the differences between these two sub-provinces is superficial and that the boundary is a gradational one. The purpose of this research is to objectively observe a section of outcrops intersecting this boundary. Most of the observations are based on mineralogy and metamorphic deformation.

Our club executive was as follows: Bruce Jago, Club President; Gord Yule, Vice President; Rob Bennett, Secretary-Treasurer, Geology Club and Yearbook; Heather Brown, Social Co-ordinator; and Allan Schappert, Field Trip Coordinator. Without these interested people we would have only been a name for LUSU to push around. Instead they had to deal with people who had an objective in mind and were determined to see it to its completion. Because of our restricted budget we were in a delicate position as far as funding was concerned, as well, the Student Union in all their wisdom feels it is necessary to keep their various clubs in the dark concerning field trips and general LUSU policy. Consequently we could only offer field trips to Silver Islet, the Silver Mountain area and an overnight excursion to Geco. Next year however, now that we the executive have gained valuable operational experience, we hope to be able to expand the activities of the club. This year the club expanded in a different direction and a small group of individuals decided that the Lakehead University Geology Department should be represented once again in pictorial fashion within the pages of The idea was conceived over a cup of coffee in the a Department Yearbook.

As this yearbook was a new experience for those who put it together, we had a lot to learn and a lot I can see now why more people did not feel inof mistakes to overcome. clined to get involved. As Editor of the yearbook I would like to thank those brave Individuals who undertook this seemingly easy task and who have found time to see it to its culmination. In particular, I would like to thank Heather Brown my Co-editor, Myra Gerow my right hand assistant, Murray McGill photo manager, Rob Fnukal advertising manager, Rob Bennett and Mike Lucko sales managers, Mark Wittrup who did custom developing for us as well as cartoons and a host of other people. I would like especially to thank Sam Spivak who relentlessly made headings and advertising layouts for us and who put up with our incessant bothering. This yearbook would not have been possible if it had not been for these people, THANKS AGAINl Yours truly.

D. Booth �M. W. Bartley &Associates limited - Geologists - 202 TORONTO- DOMINION BANK BLDG. THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO �1: with compliments from the faculty of • sc1ence lakehead university Dean R. A. Ross �Some readers of this Yearbook may know that Lakehead University has recently been developing an Academic Plan. The first draft of this, usually called "The Skeleton" because of its front cover adornment, sets out certain principles which I believe to be appropriate in the development of this institution as a regional university. Looking at Northwestern Ontario, a number of points become obvious: first, the possession of large tracts of forest; second, the Canadian Shield and its relatively unexplored geological wealth; third, the lake; and fourth, but by no means the least important, the people of the region. Lakehead already has a Forestry School of some distinction and one which, we believe, in due course, should be the best in Canada. The Second of my primary areas of development is Geology, and I can see that this is likely to expand in two distinct phases. In the first of these, the Exploration Geology of Northwestern Ontario should be the object of the main thrust. Certainly there is need for the discovery of new ore bodies. Places such as Atikokan are dependent on existing resources, the end of which is already in sight. If new and important resources can be found, particularly in that area, a pleasant town may be saved from going the way of similar places in Alberta and British Columbia which have become ghost towns. This exploration phase, which is important, both to regional economy and to pure geology since it contributes, of course, to the theories of crustal structure, will be followed and probably parallelled at some point by what I can describe as Exploitation Geology which leads indirectly to Mining Engineering. The importance of the two phases of the plan lies in the fact that industrial and commercial backing for the university's activities should be forthcoming and that the government will be ensured of the regional devotion of our institution. Another advantage of the plan, which involves the participation of industry, lies in the employment possibilities for students during vacations - something which is at the root of instruction in all professional subjects. I hope that these remarks may do something to inspire the students in the Department of Geology with the importance of their subject, their mission and their departments in the present and future of this University. ANDREW D. BOOTH �MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF SCIENCE The principal problem facing Lakehead University this year has been the decrease in student numbers . This phenomenon has occurred in practically all universities in North America and Western Europe . Lakehead has not endured a unique experience. Perhaps a.n enrollment decrease would be regarded as a positive factor if it could be interpreted as showing a trend towards a higher quality and more dedicated studentry. However, our fin - ancial returns from the Provincial government are directly related to student numbers and when these decline significantly, the institution trembles , becomes hypertensive and narrowly misses the trauma of a corporate nervous collapse . Such experiences occur regularly in industry and commerce. If a commodity has lost favour in the market , then its producers must revamp or replace it . Failure to react success- fully to this challenge generally results in personnel cutbacks and plant closures . Whereas the industrial environment is pre- pared for such eventualities , the university one is not. By their very nature the universities attract staff of a highly intellectual and sensitive type . They are not well paid by industrial standards , but forego pecuniary ambitions in favou r �of a modest living which allows them the privilege of imparting knowledge to their students and pursuing their own individual research and scholarly work. It is no criticism to state that university professors and lecturers are less able to cope with the rough, tumble and consequences of shifts in market-demand than are their industrial counterparts. The fact is, however, that they are becoming increasingly compelled to react to these shifts. Since the middle ages, all of the major institutions of state and church in Western civilization have had to undergo radical changes. withered. Some have survived the experience while others The universities have endured minor perturbations over these centuries, but have probably never been subjected to the same external scrutiny as they are at present. We all have a responsibility to assuage and convince our critics through our performances and actions of the tremendous and benevolent effect that the university can and does have on our society. We need to have effective ambassadors, and, in the Faculty of Science at Lakehead University, the Geology students are among the best that we have. It is pleasure to be associated with them. Once again, I am delighted to commend the enterprising and good-humoured students in the Department of Geology for the format and the high standard of the articles chosen for the Geology Year Book. Warmest congratulations and best wishes to all, R. A.

In keeping with the reputation we built for ourselves last year, the Club took on the major role of the University's Winter Carnival. This was done by sponsoring the Queen and King contest. Our two entries, Sharon Tihor and Doug Lehto faired very well. Doug went on to be crowned Carnival King and will unfortunately have to relinquish his throne next year, hopefully to another Geology student. Apart from Winter Carnival the Club put on two exceptionally successful beer bashes. As the academic year drew to a close the Geology Club Social held in the Prosvita Hall marked the end of the social calendar. I would like to at this time to introduce the Executive of the Geology Club for the past year, and to thank them for their participation and dedication.

David Powers, PRESIDENT, GEOLOGY CLUB. �ON THE GENESIS OF GRANITE by M. YUMA In the beginning God created the Heaven .•..•••.••.... and the Earth . And the earth was without form , and void ; so begins a well known story expounding a certain belief on the origin of the earth and granite since granite is a rock occurring near and on the surface of the earth . To a person supporting the democratic principle, that the majority opinion is correct , this would explain the origin of granite satisfactorily . However, we, being individualistic and schooled in geology like to think that this creation is not quite finished yet. It must be admitted though that the origin of the positive and negative changes that combine to form matter is unknown . We, geologists, come into this when the earth was without form , a swirling mass of dust and gasses, and imagine that the ''force" of gravity was present which formed this "ready created" dust into our earth . It is assumed that the reader agrees that the earth is a better sphere than the best basketball made by man; and also that energetic (heated) matter tends to rise to the "surface", i.e. heat energy flows from a hotter to a conler object . As a direct result of this remarkable observation , it can be stated that the concentratio n of radioactive isotopes is greatest in the rocks of the crust . Recall geothermal gradient . Also it is known that the radiogenic heat output was greater yesterday than today. Recall exponential decay function of all radioactive elements. This would also imply that the surface temperature of the earth, especially of granitic areas , was higher in the distant past . This is shown by the gaseous envelope around it (all expelled from the earth) . Also water molecules cover 75 % of the surface . Our "granite" stands out from the water , as the continental "floats". Recall isostasy . These continental " floats" are essentially granites and their derivatives. They were and are formed by contamination of the insoluble residue (silicon dioxide and aluminum silicates) by the liquid remaining from fractional crystallization of the basaltic magmas . This silica enrichment must precede granite formation . This enrichment occurs on the surface essentially . The contamination takes place near the surface under cover of the very "wet'' sediments . Bec~use of the lower density inherent in these "granitoid" rocks and because of the badly fractured platy nature of the earth ' s crust, these granitoid rocks tend to drift to the points of highest gravitional field strength, which are presently in the -- -- �vicinity of the poles. Guess where we find most of the earth's granites? That's right , near the poles ! This is normal and expected since the earth is not a perfect sphere . The granites make up only about 1/ 10 of one percent of the atoms in the earth but these are mighty important atoms for us air breathing creatures .

CAMPLING Some Mineralogical, Textural and Environmental Aspects of the Pre-Gunflint & Pre-Sibley Weathered Profiles In the Thunder Bay region, ancient weathered profiles occur in the stratigraphic column below the initial sediments of the Gunflint and Sibley Formations. Both profiles consists of weathered granitic rock and a lithified, granitic derivative. The Pre-Gunflint profile is characterized by a remarkable increase in chlorite mineralization, and a very poorlydeveloped residual soil texture. These and other mineral ogical features tentatively indicate the Pre-Gunflint weathering occurred sub-aqueously in a temperature, estuarine or tidal-flat environment. The Pre-Sibley profile is characterised by an increase in hematite mineralisation, and a well-developed residual soil texture. These and other mineralogical features tentatively indicate that Pre-Sibley weathering occurred sub aerially in a humid, temperate climate. Only the Pre-Sibley weathered profile can be termed a paleosol . �Pillow lavas from Archean volcanic-rich supracrustal units the Superior Province of Northwestern Ontario were studied on a regional scale to identify possible variations in the style of metamorphism. Chemical analyses indicate that metamorphism has not affected the basic chemistry of the pillow lavas in most cases. Volatile contents vary in the lower grade of metamorphism, however, significant metasomatism has occurred in only a few localities. Both tholeiitic and calc-alkaline chemical affinities were noted in pillows from various areas. Chemical variations within individual pillows which have undergone relatively little alteration suggest differentiation processes may have occurred during the crystallization of the pillows. The pillow lavas of the Lake Nipigon-Geraldton-Jackfish area are of a low metamorphic grade with mineral assemblages corresponding to the greenschist facies. Variations in the scale of mineralogical homogeneity and the degre8 of recrystallization indicate that moderate pressure conditions prevailed in the Highway 11 area between Beardmore and Longlac while the Highway 17 area along the north shore of Lake Superior was characterized by very low stress conditions. This indicates a variation in the regional metamorphic pattern with greater depths of burial occurring in the northern volcanic-rich unit. The regional metamorphic pattern in the southern volcanic-rich unit may have been overprinted by thermal contact aureoles related to intrusive plutons. The suite of pill lavas from between the Highway 599 area represents central amphibolite zones bounded to the north at Central Patricia and to the south of Sturgeon Lake by low grade greenschist zones. Mineralogical and textural evidence suggests progressive regional metamorphism. �THE GEOLOGY AND GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE ONAMAN LAKE PROPERTY, NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO In the thesis a detailed study was made of a small mineral prospect. The Onaman Lake property is located approximately 3 miles west of Onaman Lake in the Thunder Bay Mining.Division. The property is underlain by five rock types of Precambrian age: Keewatin acidic and mafic volcanics, Temiskaming conglomerate. Algoman granite and Keweenawan diabase dikes which cut all other rock types. The intrusion of the Algoman granite has had a contact metamorphic effect on the Keewatin mafic volcanics which is characterized by the progressive development of actinolite-tremolite and epidote group minerals in an originally chlorite rich rock. Cu, Zn and Pb are present on the property disseminated in quartz veins. In order to study the possibility of discovering other occurrences of Cu and Zn, the results of a soil sampling survey were evaluated statistically after separating the sample results into four groups: organic Cu and Zn values and inorganic Cu and Zn values. This study indicates a correlation between geochemical results and observed mineralization but indicates very few other anomalous conditions on the property. �STRUCTURES IN MIGMATIC ROCKS For this study an area along the Spruce River Road was chosen. Numerous outcrops in a 6 mile section were examined, which a variety of structures occur. Based on data, a three-fold division in the migmatite complex has been made. Well foliated biotite-plagioclase gneisses interlayered with quartzo-feldspathic gneisses. Lit-par-lit gneisses, composed of foliated gneisses interlayered with a potassium feldspar-rich mobilizate. Massive gneisses composed of poorly foliated rocks with vague structures. No sharp boundaries appear between these three types. A some-what transitional relationship between structures and mineralogy suggest stages in the degree of mobilization. A complex tectonic history is demonstrated by the structures in the migmatite. These migmatitic rocks comprise a basement complex overlain by less deformed and less metamorphosed metasedimentary and metavolcanic sequences. In the migmatite complex a fluctuating temperature produced great variations in the amount of melt at any time and thereby affected the complexities observed in the structures. �Archean Evolution of Western Dorion Twp. Ont. The western part of Dorion Twp. shows evidence of Archean ocks dating from very ancient 'primitive' basaltic crust to late kinematic, quartz monzonites. The oldest rocks underlie the northern part of the map area consists of metamorphic rocks of predominan~ly sedimentary nd, to a very minor extent, igneous origin. These metasedients are represented by roof pendants and xenoliths of fine medium grained, more or less plastically deformed, quartzoelspathic gneisses. The metamorphosed igneous rocks exist as ngular blocks of mafic to ultramafic hornblende gneiss. The atter may represent remnants of very early dykes, 'primitive' saltic crust or possibly 'horses' of mantle material. These oof pendants and xenoliths float in a 'sea' of pegmatitic o micropegmatitic, intensely flow-folded and very leucocratic obilizate. At the onset of the Kenoran 'orogeny' this basement assemb age began buckling in low amplitude east-west trending folds. s these folds developed, the synformal portion, now represnted in the southern part of the map area by the greenstone elt began filling with basement-derived pelitic· sediments, ntercalated in later stages with minor amounts of basaltic sh . With time the rate of deformation accelerated and the ressures and temperature became sufficiently high to remoblize the more volatile components of the basement at relatvely shallow depth . This caused intrusion of small eastest elongate quartz monzonitic bodies along zones of structral weakness at the edge of the greenstone belt and within he basement complex. These same pressure-temperature onditions caused progressive metamorphism of the pelitic ediments and retrogressive metamorphism of the basement omplex to a common middle-amphibolite facies grade. �ALLAN SPEED The Investigation into the use of Gamm-Ray Spectrometry as a possible geologic mapping tool The uses of the~mma-ray spectrometry as a geophysical tool in mineral exploration are well documented (Mero, 1960). However, few investigations into the feasibility of using this remote sensing technique as a geologic mapping tool are known. Thus, the purpose of this study was: 1) to investigate local scale variations in radioelement levels between different lithologic units. 2) to investigate the mineralogical composition of the various lithologic units causing the different radioelement levels. 3) to investigate the statistical problems involved in collecting and presenting data of this type, and 4) to investigate the possibility of using gamma-ray spectroscopy as a physical method which provides information from which geological conclusions can be drawn. Of the many radioactive isotopes that occur in rocks, only radio-potassium and members of the uranium and thorium series are important geologic sources of gamma-radiation . Two major,N-S traverses through the Gorham Township area crossed granitic batholithic intrusives, two types of sed~mentary rocks , volcanic rocks, diabase and gabbro. A portable gamma-ray scintillometer was used to measure the relative radiation effects of the various rock types. The initial count data was converted into more meaningful results using statistical methods , computer techniques, and geochemical analyses. These showed a definite difference in radioelement content of the various rock types measured. �JOE KASARDA The Alteration and Trace Element Content of the Mattabi Footwall Zone The Mattabi orebody is situated in the Sturgeon Lake area of North western Ontario. It exhibits many of the features common to Cu - Zn massive sulphide deposits found throughout the Canadian Shield . Alteration characteristics of the footwall rocks were studied by means of thin sections made from approximately 45 collected hand specimens. The main alteration products observed were sericite and carbonate . Abundant chloritoid and a relatively low chlorite content suggest that magnesium metasomatism was not prevalent during ore formation . No simple zonal arrangement of the lateration minerals is apparent. A total of 89 samples from 8 drill cores obtained from the footwall rocks were analyzed for Cu , Zn, Ni, Ag , Fe , Mn and Co2 by atomic absorption techniques. The frequency distributions of the elements were studied in the form of cumulative frequency curves. All the elemen~appear to be approximately lognormally distributed. Background and threshold levels were graphically estimated. �' A BIOGEOCHEMISTRY STUDY OF POPULUS TREMULOIDES APPROACHING A LEAD-ZINC-BARITE DEPOSIT The purpose of this study is to compare the variation of concentration of the trace elements lead, zinc, copper, and manganese in the various portions of Populus tremuloides with specific physical variables of the plant, such as height, age, and diameter, as well as with soil chemistry. The elemental levels of zinc, lead, copper, and manganese were measured in samples of soil, bark, old growth, new growth and buds of Populus tremuloides, and bark, old growth, new growth plus buds and needles for Pinus banksiana. Solutions of these samples were analyzed by atomic absorption methods. Lead is the only element which shows an anomalous concentration in the bark, new growth, old growth and buds of poplar. Old growth and new growth of poplar are the best portions of the tree to sample in order to detect the presence of a lead anomoly. The elemental concentration of lead, zinc, manganese, and copper in the plant organs sampled is affected by the absolute age of the species. The concentration of these elements does not accumulate with age. With the shallow soil profile, as occurs over the Sibley Group, geochemical soil sampling is a better exploration method for locating lead-zinc-barite deposits than a biogeochemical survey using Populus tremuloides as a sampling species �THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF THE LYON LAKE-CLAW LAKE SULPHIDE BEARING GRAPHITIC SHALE, STURGEON LAKE, ONTARIO The Lyon Lake-Claw Lake sulphide bearing graphitic shale is contained within a predominantly sedimentary sequence of course to fine clastics with minor carbonate and mafic volcanic rock. Sulphide mineralogy consists mainly of pyrite and pyrrhotite occuring as nodules, lensoid pods and narrow bands conformable with bedding. Traces of chalcopyrite, sphalerite and arsenopyrite are present as well. Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn and As were analysed in sulphides, graphitic shale and wall rock. Results suggest: (1) Sulphides contain higher contents of Cu, Zn, Co, Ni and As than graphitic shale or wall rock and (2) Mn, Zn, Co and Ni content decreases eastward along the formation in graphitic shale. Analyses of a vertical section through the formation suggests: (1) Cu, Zn, and Mn are enriched in the footwall rocks as opposed to the hanging wall rocks, (2) Zn and As are concentrated in graphitic shale in comparison with hanging wall rocks and (3) Co and Ni content is relatively uniform throughout the section. Element ratios have been used to investigate the depositional environment of sulphides and host rock. Results show: (1) Co:Ni ratios in sulphides and graphitic shale are consistent with other worker's data for a sedimentary origin and (2) Mn:Fe ratios are suggestive of volcanic contribution to the Nestern margin of the formation. Carbon content in the graphitic shale varies from 1.60 12.06 %. X-ray studies indicate carbon is either present in an amorphous form or below the detection limit of this technique. X-ray studies indicate the pyrrhotite present is monoclinic possibly derived by metamorphism from pyrite. Evidence suggests that the graphitic shale is derived in a sedimentary basin in which there was volcanic activity at the western margin. This was followed by large scale mafic volcanism. Sulphides derived by sedimentary or diagenetic processes is likely, since there is no evidence for a direct volcanic exhalative source. �AMOCO CANADA PETROLEUM COMPANY LTD.

On structural grounds it appears reasonable to this area to assume that the metasedimentary sequence rests on a basement complex. The unconformity between these two appears to have been remobilized during orogeny and hence is no longer intact. Based on field observation of sedimentary structures several reversals of top directions were determined. These sediments are basically of graywacke composition. Low-grade metamorphism and non penetrative deformation have left primary sedimentary features intact. A maximum thickness of 4,700 feet of sediments was established from the model. The folding is tight isoclinal and slightly overturned, originating from a flexural slip and flow mechanism. THE SILICATE AND SULPHIDE PETROLOGY OF THE KAWENE LAKE INTRUSION silicate and sulphide petrology of the Kawene Lake Intrusion was studied using a transmitted light microscope, a reflected light microscope, a 4-axis universal stage microscope, point counting, chemical analysis and x-ray methods to determine if this intrusion is a strataform pluton, or an alpine type ultramafic. A tectonic environment is also investigated and an origin for the rocks and sulphides is suggested. It is found that this intrusion is not a strataform pluton, but is possibly an alpine type ultramafic lying somewhere in between the two suggested and meffibers, namely the ophiolite suites of Newfoundland and the serpentinites of Vermont. It is also found that this intrusion was syntectonically placed in an Archean eugeosyncline, surrounded by flysh-type deposits. It is suggested that both the sulphur and metal, essential to form the sulphides, came from the magma itself and not from the surrounding rocks or the sea water. �• Mining Exploration and Development • Properties Examined, Optioned and Financed Phelps Dodge Corporation of Canada Ltmtled Suole 1106 - 55 Yonge 51, Toronto, Onl M 5E I J4 ( 4 16) 366 4674 Suooe 404 , 1112 Wul Pender 51 , Vancouver I , B C ( 604) 684 - 6588 Suol t 409-491 Porl ogt Avt, Wonn•Pt<l R38 2E5, Monolobo (204) 775 - 8423 Fredenc:ton.

When the Hollinger mine and Timmins were both young the park was a tailings dump in a shallow lake, unsightly and dusty. More than 40 years ago-long before environmental control became a subject of public concern-the dump was converted into a public park, maintained by Hollinger. It provides facilities for baseball , soccer, track and field events, picnics, field days, concerts and other recreational activities. When the Hollinger mine closed, the park was ceded to the town of Timmins, but it remains a symbol of Hollinger's long-held belief that a successful mining operation can and should enrich the lives of all Canadians. It also provides enduring evidence that the need for environmental control was accepted by Hollinger long before the subject became publicly popular.

Due to this turnover there have been many changes made, both in material and year book staff. When I and a few other concerned students took over,what faced us was an unorganized attempt of putting together a Year Book . We have attempted to put what pieces we had into some semblance of order. We have made no attempt to update the material to any great extent in order to finally get this year book done. Due to thi s many important details have been left out. material Thus I wi 11 give a brief resume of this that was left out of the Year Book . To begin with I will start with the faculty. In the winter of 1973/74 Dr. H. Loubat resigned his position at Lakehead and is now teaching in Quebec. Dr. Garth Platt was hired to fill this vacancy in the fall of 1974. This spring Dr. Jim Frankl in was offered a position with the Geological Survey of Canada which he has accepted. My only comment here is that L.U. Geology has lost one of its finest members . Listed below are the names of all the Geology students from 1974/75.

Exports- about 1/3 of the exports required by Canada to maintain its role as a senior trading nation. New communities- there are hundreds of mining communities across Canada. New opportunities in new communities -for almost every kind of trade, skill , profession, talent or business. New wealth- total value of Canadian mineral production in 1973 exceeded $8 billion -wealth translated into the Canadian economy for wages, salaries, supplies, services, taxes and dividends.

Bartley, P.Eng. �Once more the Geology Club of Lakehead University has demonstrated considerable enterprise in publishing this yearbook. It seems to be a particular talent of our students in the Department of Geology to become thoroughly involved in the corporate interests of the Department and, indeed, of the University as well. Their major contribution to the rescue of the last Carnival Week from the soggy sands of pernicious neglect was one of the best examples of healthy and constructive student involvement in the affairs of this University that has been apparent in the past year. Currently, the University is examining the implications for its future development that are contained in two public reports of the provincial government's Commission on Post-Secondary Education. One of these is in final form and refers only to the Northwestern Ontario region while the other is concerned in its "draft edition" with all of Ontario. Reactions to both briefs have been mixed and provocative descriptions of their contents commonplace. Certainly as the Universit- ies consume so many of the dollars in the public purse there is no gainsaying the taxpayer's right to expect accountability, but invoices or balance sheets do not quantify the short or long-term value of a university education to the individual, and through him or her perhaps even to the body corporate. In the last analysis there can be no substitute for the goals which are achieved by individual effort and it is within our own compass to rise above misleading and often substandard proposals set by dilettantes or opportunists. Their ideas are passe in any event, unless history lies and the boiling point of water is 5,000°K! It is a pleasure to commend the students in the Faculty of Science and particularly those in the Department of Geology for their past efforts in their studies and to wish all many happy and successful years ahead in their studies and in their chosen professions. I am pleased to con- gratulate all of the Geology students who have worked with care and vigour to produce this excellent yearbook. A. Ross, (Dean, Faculty of Science).

Limnological studies of the Canadian portion of Lake Superior were carried out for the third field season under contract to the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, Burlington, Ont. To date nearly two-thirds of the Canadian portion of Lake Superior has been covered by a regional survey grid. During the 1971 field season the studies provided employment opportunities for the following students for at least part of the summer: Patrick Fung, George Einarson, Allan Speed, Beth Hillary, Peter Friske, Bob Kyryluk, Keith Heckley, Eric Brown and Dave Powers. A survey of the lake-proper was carried out from the Martin Karlsen between Pigeon River and Marathon along north-south lines every five minutes of longitude (approximately four miles) Benthos cores and Shipek grab samples of the lake-bottom sediments were taken at 325 stations and an echo sounding survey was carried out between sampling stations. In addition 110 stations were sampled in Nipigon Bay along a grid, two minutes of longitude by one minute of latitude (approximately 1.0 miles by 1.5 miles), from a Boston Whaler using a Ponar grab sampler and Phleger corer. . The following information has been compiled into map form to show the distribution of 1) the Eh and pH measurements of the lake-bottom waters and sediments; 2) the first map of the lake-bottom topography in nearly 50 years; 3) the grain size and mineralogical distribution of the lake-bottom sediments; 4) the amounts of organic carbon, total carbon, iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, chromium, strontium and mercury in the lake-bottom sediments. 5) the Quaternary stratigraphy. The regional limnological studies of the Canadian portion of Lake Superior will probably be completed during the 1973 field season �VR. HENRI LOUBAT, Geological Engineer, A^iiitant PAofieAAOA, Lakehead Pk.V. Geneva; Llniveuity Bold astonomers occasionally suggest a variation of physical parameters such as the gravitation "constant", since the birth of the solar system. But we don'.t have to go so far in the hypotheses to reasonably assume that if we are going back 3.10^ years, the earth's aspect has been somewhat different from what it was in recent geological times, during the last 600 m.y. for instance. In these very old Archean times, the size, shape, thickness of crustal (continental?) plates, the depth and nature of the oceans, the atmosphere, the climates were probably different from what they are now. Although some volcanic and sedimentary features seem similar to recent phenomena, we can reasonably guess other rates of volcanism and sedimentation, other relationships between crust and mantle in these remote times. If now we focus our interest on metamorphism, we could expect that the pattern of regional metamorphism has to be different in Archean and recent orogenies. It is easy to understand that the metamorphism of rocks is not only due to the absolute pressure and temperature, but also (and mainly) to the rate of the physical actions, to the trends of those "stresses": if for example the mass of crustal plates was much smaller than the mass of the recent continental plates, if the heat flow (beside volatile activities, H 2 O, CC> 2 and if the rate of sedimentation were also different, the pattern and the definition of metamorphic facies would be different from the classic schemes that we know from the works of Barrow, Turner, Winkler and others, working on much less ancient orogenies. . . ) For instance, if the absence of glaucophane-schist facies is confirmed in Archean belts, this could eventually indicate that narrow belts of extreme pressure and weak increase of temperature were missing in these times, indicative of smaller, lighter colliding crustal masses. At the onset, with It seems promising to initiate a systematic study along these trends. the best thing to do would be to investigate several limited areas in "greenstone belts" and to clarify what I call the "style" of metamorphism. We shall have, of course, to discriminate what is to be attributed to the many thermal aureoles around magmatic intrusions, also to discriminate the diaphthoresis from an initial 'positive' metamorphism. a limited team, Among many other fields, this one could confirm Thunder Bay as a major location for geological studies and research. �VR.

MID-WEST SUPERIOR GEOTRAVERSE RESEARCH GROUP During the first half of this century, many of the world s prominent geologists maintained that Precambrian Shields are composed predominantly of granite and contorted metamorphic gneiss. The apparent complexity of the geology was exemplified in those areas immediately adjacent to the relatively simple Phanerozoic rocks of the United States. Unfortunately, Precambrian rocks of New York and immediately north of the eastern States belong to the Grenville Province, and area affected by at least three orogenic periods. The Grenville Province is understandably structurally and petrologically complex. Had these geologists ventured north to Noranda, Timmins or Northwestern Ontario, they would have quickly realized that some portions of the Shield are less structurally complex than the Appalachians, and that distinct time and lithostratigraphic subdivision of the shield is possible. ' In the past 20 years, application of standard stratigraphic, structural, and petrographic techniques has resulted in unlocking the apparent secrets of the Precambrian. We now realize that that the oldest (Archean) areas of the shield are composed of three major elements, the economically important "greenstone" or volcanic belts, the metamorphosed and high deformed sedimentary or "gneiss" belts, and an assortment of granitic and mafic intrusive rocks. The first two "stratified" elements show remarkable stratigraphic continuity. Perplexing problems remain however. What type of "volcano" and volcanic structure was present during Archean time? Are the greenstone belts precursors to our present day "island arc" belts? On what type of crust were these volcanos built and what representatives of the ancient primeval crust do we see today? What mechanism has deformed the belts relatively intensively, yet metamorphosed them so little? What is the origin of the sedimentary detritus, and why are the sedimentary deposits highly metamorphosed and deformed, relative to the volanic areas? How old are the Archean rocks, and what tectonic stages are represented by these sequences? These and many other interesting problems have gained the attention of many geologists, but limited access, incomplete mapping, and the necessity of employing a divergence of specialists in order to attack a problem, have prevented geologists from finding the answers. A group of 12 geologists have thus joined together as a result of a necessity of using "team approach" to solving Archean mysteries, to form the Mid-west Superior Geotraverse Research Group. The research group is directed by Dr. A. M. Goodwin of the University of Toronto and includes Dr. Currie (U ot T) , Dr. Schwerdtner (U of T) and Dr. Kehlenbeck (Lakehead) as a structural geology team, Drs. Fawcett and Goodwin (U of T) and Dr. Loubat (Lakehead) as petrologists Drs West, Halls, Farquhar and York (U of T - Geophysics) as geophysicists and geochronologists Dr. Mercy as geochemist, Dr. Naldrett (U of T) and myself as economic geologists. Dr. L. Ayres of the Ontario Department of Mines and Dr. J. 0. Wheeler of the Geological Survey of Canada are acting as Government liaison personnel. The group has taken as its area of study a broad "corridor" extending north from Shebandowan to Pickle Lake. The corridor encompasses at least three volcanic belts and , , . , It contains virtually an entire suite of Precambrian lithotypes and The corridor is traversed by several roads and railroads, and further access may be gained by the abundant lakes and rivers of the area. two sedimentary gneiss belts. is probably completely representative of Canadian Shield Archean geology. Several participants have initiated studies: Currie is studying structure and paleomagnetism near Lac des Mille Lacs. Farquhar and York are applying the new Ar39/Ar40 techniques to dating metamorphosed rocks. Halls is examining the application of paleomagnetic techniques to Archean rocks. Goodwin has initiated petrochemical studies in the English River gneiss belt. I have undertaken a study of the base metal deposits in the Sturgeon Lake area. This summer Dr. Loubat will begin studies of metamorphic isogrades in Volcanic rocks, Dr. Kehlenbeck will study the structural domains associated with sedimentary-intrusive sequences north of Thunder Bay. The Geotraverse studies will probably continue for a period of ten years. The ultimate objective is to test several hypothetical "models" of Archean geology in order to find a more suitable explanation for the observed features. �V>i. Manned M.S. M.

Background Research Associate for Adirondack Project Consulting Geologist (Ground Water) Geologist for Quebec Department of Natural Resources Visiting Professor at University of New Brunswick Assistant Professor, Lakehead University Research Petrography and metamorphism of rocks in the Little Moose Mountain syncline, Adirondack Mountains, New York. Deformation textures in plutonic rocks, specifically anorthosites. My initiation into the geological problems of Precambrian terrains was in 1960 while attending Syracuse University. There, I was fortunate to participate in a research project which was then just starting. Our investigation focused on the south-central portion on the Adirondack Mountains of New York. Simultaneously other universities were working on their research projects, so that the entire Adirondacks were receiving renewed scrutiny from many disciplines of geology. Of particular interest to me was the metamorphic petrology and structure of the Grenville metasedimentary sequences. Among the results of the field work was the establishment of four subfacies within the granulite facies as well as a distinction between basement and supracrustal rocks as defined by lithologic character, structure, and total rock textures. In 1965 I left the Adirondacks, moved north across the Frontenac axis, and entered into the Grenville Province proper. During the next four years I became acquainted with the geologic complexities of southeastern Ontario and Quebec. My association with the Grenville Project provided me with an invaluable learning experience. This project undertaken by the Quebec Department of Natural Resources involves 4-mile reconnaissance mapping of areas bounded by two degrees longitude and two degrees latitude (approximately 10,000 square miles) per field season. The value of such field work lies in the vast amount of geological information which is gathered in a single summer. To facilitate the analysis of the voluminous data, computer techniques were developed. This enabled standardization of data input, providing consistency in the recorded observations of all participating geologists. Computer treatment of the geological data greatly increased the time available for interpretation and extended the manipulations to which the data could be subjected. After nearly ten years of field experience with highly deformed and metamorphosed Precambrian rocks, my interests have become more and more centered on the structural evolution of Precambrian shield areas. Reconstructions of evolutionary paths rely heavily upon recognition of structural domains and on an understanding of their place in the tectonic framework. This is especially important if the absence of distinctive lithologies or structural trends prevents clear delineation of major structures. �An example is the Lac Rouvray anorthosite massif in Quebec. Investigating textures produced by cataclasis and recrystallization has shown that this igneous intrusion displays a spectrum of whole-rock textures ranging from primary igneous to completely metamorphic Hence the amount of deformation, in this case primarily recrystallization and cataclasis, is variable from place to place and defines distinctive structural domains. These deformation textures demonstrate that this course-grained igneous rock was in places completely reworked to a metamorphic gneiss bearing little resemblance to its ancestor, (Plate 1) The petrologic implications of this could be far reaching when considering the origin of the vast monotonous "seas" of quartzof eldspathic gneisses so abundant in shield areas. . Since my arrival at Lakehead University last September I had had limited opportunity to study the local geology; however, I hope to remedy this as soon as the snow melts.

A GEOLOGIST I was invited to contribute a personal experience to this edition of the Year Book. What better example than becoming a geologist. It is unlikely that my experience is greatly different from the majority of other graduates in geology. During my secondary school tenure I was exposed to the usual humanities and sciences but do not recall any reference to the solid earth science. On entering University in 1930, I elected Science as a broad area of study. The curriculum required enrollment in four sciences, english, a foreign language, and a non-science elective. Not being biology oriented, I selected the unknown, geology, to complement chemistry, physics and mathematics. The subject proved so interesting due primarily to the enthusiasm of the professors and the senior students that I was more than delighted with my selection. After four years of intensive instruction in the basic phases of the discipline plus two summer seasons prospecting, I graduated. Now I am a geologist - so I thought. My application for summer employment with the Ontario Department of Mines as a field assistI was certain that ant was accepted and I was assigned to a survey party as a junior assistant. at the close of the field season I would be forced to choose from a variety of responsible positions offered by government and industry. After all, I was a GEOLOGIST. No offers came. After three months of waiting, I partially realized my naivity and went searching for a position. The Provincial and Federal Departments were well staffed with men holding post-graduate degrees and/or several years' experience. They would require junior assistants next field season. My enquiries to exploration and mining companies envinced similar replies, but some did have jobs (not positions) open as survey helpers and draughtsmen, underground samplers, mill and mine helpers and university graduates would be favourably considered. Not for me, I was a GEOLOGIST. During my search for a position suitable to a B. Sc. in geology, I fortunately encountered a senior consulting geologist who offered sage advice and thereby brought me back to reality. He reminded me that I was only a graduate in geology, not a geologist. He convinced me that I might become a geologist in five or ten years depending on how hard I worked at gaining experience and increasing my knowledge. This came as quite a shock. He pointed out that although I had been provided with a sound geological academic training, this was only the beginning. I must now augment this training with practical experience and if possible attain post-graduate degrees concurrently. In reply to my query as to how this might be achieved since there was no positions commensurate to my academic accomplishments available, he delivered a never-to-be-forgotton lecture The gist of the lecture was for me to descent from my lofty pedestal, realize that my degree was only a tool, and seek a job in the industry which would further my general education. He went on to explain that a geologist must have an appreciation and general knowledge of the associated arts of exploration, mining, mineral dressing, and evaluation. The logical methods of acquiring this knowledge were to work as an assistant or helper in any category on an exploration project, in an operating mine, and in a mine engineering office. Above all, to observe the work of others in many different operations and endeavour to learn all I could about the other man's job in order that I could have a fuller concept of solid earth science. I followed his advice and worked progressively as a core grabber and logger on diamond drills, as a surveyor's helper on surface and underground, as an underground sampler and assayer, and as a mine planning assistant as well as geological mapping during and after my po^:-graduate studies. Some seven years after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Geology, sufficient experience and knowledge to be a GEOLOGIST. M. W. BARTLEY.

'The Ancient Craft of Lapidary' Lapis - a stone. Lapidary - a person engaged in gem stone fashioning for adornment. In fact Stone Age men were the first lapidaries in as much as they gathered bright coloured pebbles and rubbed them with sand and other rock to wear down the rough surfaces and in doing so produced a semipolish in turn improving the colour of the stone. As time passed between the ancients and the old Chinese and Egyptian civilizations, various methods were improved, i.e. the wheel was invented and the ability to mount a piece of bamboo as a type of lathe, the invention of bronze and iron and along with these marvels the endless trial and error of various sands and minerals as abrasives. The ancient Chinese lapidary started to work rock crystal with quartz sand. This was a very slow arduous task. Then some craftsmen started using red sand (garnet) and found that this cut faster and did not break down so readily also that the fine powders gave a good polish. In fact garnet was used for centuries by the Chinese jade workers. As for the ancient Egyptians, I am sure they used similar abrasives because of the outstanding finish on some of the lapis-lazuli ornaments found in the tombs, not forgetting the gorgeous floor tiles of semi-precious minerals. I am, however, more familiar with the Chinese workmanship. There is a story told of a caravan arriving at a well known Chinese lapidary centre with bits of a brown mineral which was said to scratch even the hardest stone. Some of this was eventually broken and ground down in the garnet mill (a stone wheel turned by a mule, similar to an old corn mill) It was then found that this new brown minerals was indeed harder and at once became much sought after. It was, in fact Corundum - no doubt weathered out from a Pegmatite and just lying around . Now to the tools used. To cut the larger pieces of jade, rock crystal, turquoise, etc. the bown string type of saw was used, the string being replaced by a strip or rough wire of bronze. The general method was to sit two of the younger sons of the head craftsman one on either side of the piece to be cut, charge the wire with abrasive and get going with push and pull Many moons later it was cut through, these were the days of "Wat no clock". If a slab was required, the work simply started again. All abrasive, no matter how fine, was re-cycled and used again and again. I mentioned bamboo tubes. These were extensively used in the making of beads; the method is very simple and is used to the present day with modern materials. As the bamboo is hard when dry and has a tubular structure down its length, it makes an ideal material to hold abrasive. The material is roughly formed by rolling and grinding, then it is held against one end of the tube. The tube is filled with wadding or leather and abrasive applied. The tube was then turned, not in full revolutions but half turns by means of a simple pedal. The stone was soon ground to a smooth ball. I have done this myself and it works very well. The finished ball is now drilled to make a bead using a bow drill and a bronze wire bit. . Over the years lapidary tools improved and gems were better cut and polished but I do not have space here to enlarge on this aspect. However, I will describe the workshop where I watched and old craftsman work and where as a very special favour I was allowed to try the hand operated equipment. It was situated in the main room of St. James Square, Edinburgh, originally occupied �It contained what appeared to be an Adam fireplace, the by some member of the aristocracy. windows were begrimed and the floor was like a small quarry with bags of rough stones lying about. Mr. Begbie, the lapidary had worked there as a boy with his grand-uncle Mr. Cameron who was himself a lapidary and seal engraver and when Mr. Cameron died, Mr. Begbie carried on the business. Mr. Begbie was 83 years old when he died some six years ago. His workshop has returned to dust as the whole square has now been demolished. The workroom was still equipped with the old hand driven lap, or to be more precise hand driven skive which is a vertical shaft with a square boss in the centre to fit the square hole in the turntable (or lap) made of lead and the whole assembly turning between centres belt driven by hand operated shaft running parallel to it. As it is very difficult to cut a gemstone whilst holding it in the bare fingers, a painThis is called a 'dop stick' and is ful procedure anyway, a very simple holder is used. usually made from a hard wooden rod, similar to old knitting needles, the diameter of the rod approximating the size of the gem to be fashioned. The rod is about 6" x 8" long and tapered To the other end is fixed a blob of wax, bees wax and resin in the old days, more at one end. recently yellow leaf shellac. This 'blob' is warmed over a spirit flame and the rough stone is likewise treated and then bedded securely into the wax, leaving free the first surface to be ground and polished. When this side has been completed, the wax is warmed once again, the stone removed and turned to the next surface and so on until the work is completed. In order to grind a regular pattern of facets a 'Jab peg' is used. This is a piece of wood shaped like a small inverted gourd, 4V high, 2h" in diameter, tapering to 2" at the bottom, a hole is drilled down through the centre so that it will fit on a vertical post at the side of the lap. The surface of the "Jab peg" has an arrangement of shallow holes spiralling from the top to the bottom (see illustration) The vertical post mentioned above is situated about 2" from the edge of the lap and the "Jab peg" is secured to this by means of a long tapered wedge. Adjustment is obtained by raising or lowering the "Jab peg" on the post and driving in the wedge. The angle of the facet to be cut is obtained by placing the tapered end of the 'dop stick' into the holes on the "Jab peg" and raising or lowering the "Jab peg" . The abrasive used by Mr. Begbie was 'Emery' - a form of corundum with magnetite or hematite - or what might be termed 'Bort' corundum. This powder is commercially ground and sold in 1 lb. bags. Each grade or grit of abrasive is stored in separate stone jars similar to the old type preserve jars - and each has a separate brush used to brush the abrasive on to the lap. This lap is made of lead. Lead you may ask is a strange metal to use for a lap because it is soft as compared with other metals, but lead hardens with use and becomes impregnated with the sharp abrasive. This surface is very helpful when working small fine facets. The final polish of the gem is done on a block "Tin lap" using "rotten stone" as the polishing agent. Although this machine is hand-driven it is very accurate and relatively quiet and restful. The results obtained are very satisfying. However Patience is a virtue, Possess it, if you can, It's never in a woman. And seldom found in man, and If at first you don't succeed, Try, try, try again. The "Song of the Lapidary") �SAMUEL T. SP1VAK Vaa&ting TectwA.cu.an The Department of Geology has a fairly extensive map library comprising of approximately 3400 geolog- ical maps, including excellent coverage of Ontario and good coverage of the rest of Canada (Ontario Department of Mines; Geological Survey of Canada and Provincial mapping agencies) , as well as partial map coverage of the remaining countries (full coverage of Australia) and the moon. All Canadian maps are catalogued according to publishers' series and cross indexed with the National Topographic System. Maps exclusive of Canada are catalogued according to the Library of Congress classification and these methods enable anyone to go to our map library and immediately pick out any map of a given area. Geological maps are also catalogued according to approximately 96 different geological, geophysical, geomorphological , structural, physical, stratigraphic, economic features so that if one wishes to, in a lecture, emphasize a specific geological aspect such as faulting, folding, glacial features, etc., he is able to immediately pick out a map that best illustrates this. All the above information is stored on computer tapes and a print out of all catalogues is readily obtained. Drafting time is largely devoted to preparing drawings, overlays and maps for use by the geology professors as teaching aids as well as catering to individual drafting needs which include such projects as "Limnological Studies of Lake Superior" by Dr. J. S. Mothersill and (this year) a detailed field guide book to be used in conjunction with the 24th International Geological Congress conference in August of 1972 (this section being organized by Dr. J. M. Franklin) Throughout the year a considerable amount of drafting time is utilized by other departments in the Faculty of Science for the preparation of graphs, charts, sketches to be used in published papers. Two particular interests of this drafting department include: a i) a project to prepare geological relief model of the area from Marathon west to Atikokan and as far north as Armstrong. I 'm sure that this would give a better impression as to the relationship between geology and topography in this particular area; ii) a more extensive and uniform rock-type legend system that would allow a maximum flexibility by all geologists and cartographers. S. T. Spivak �For the past five years I have been employed by Dr J. S. Mothersill in carrying out the research studies of Lake Superior supported by the National Research Council of Canada and the Canada Centre for Inland Waters. . During the summer months I am required to prepare field equipment for student assistants carrying out research studies along the lake shore and also prepare supplies and equipment used for the major research vessel operations on Lake Superior. On the research vessel I am required to take a portion of the grab sample for benthic fauna samples. The sample was thoroughly washed to remove the clay and silt fraction. The remaining sample was treated with magnesium sulphate in order to separate the fauna from the remaining debris. The fauna present in each sample were then placed in an alchohol-f illed vial for preservation until identification could be made. After the compilation of data from the lake the samples were brought back to the lab for extensive study. Representative cuts of approximately 100 grams weight were made from each of the sand samples using the quarter ing-by-hand method. The grain-size distribution of the sand fraction was determined at 0.25 phi(<J>) intervals using sieving methods, and the grain-size distribution of the remaining silt and clay fraction was determined at 1.00 phi(<f>) intervals of pipette methods. Cuts of the silt and clay samples were made from the core for grain-size distribution which was determined at 1.00 phi(<}>) intervals by sieving and pipette methods. After the grain-size analysis of these samples were calculated, the figures were transferred on IBM sheets in order to determine the skewness, kurtosis, standard deviation and mean size by computer. Heavy mineral separations were carried out on representative sand samples using tetrabromoethane (S.G.=2.94) The heavy minerals were then separated into magnetic susceptibility suites using a hand magnet and a Franz magnetic separator at settings of 0.35, 0.80, 1.20 amps., and the non-magnetics at 1.20 amps. . From cuts of the silt and clay samples from the cores I prepare samples for x-ray diffractometry analysis along the sample preparation for atomic absorption analysis. After all the lab work has been completed, the data compiled and the results calculated, I am required to type up all Dr. Mothersill 's papers and reports, core description sheets, etc. Pat Zurkan �AWN SUMPTER T zc.hnA.CA.dn There are sixty comprehensive sets of the more important minerals, rocks and fossils from which the first year Geology student learns the basic rules and exceptions of identification and classification of geological specimens. These minerals, rocks and fossils are catalogued into their specific groupings in such a way as to follow exactly the general geology laboratory manual which was composed by Dr. J. Mothersill of Lakehead University's Geology Department. With the aid of the manual and the specimens the first year student receives a good basis for further geological studies. Many of the specimens can be found locally as the students discover when taken on field trips, and as a result, the student can associate specimens found in the field with the specimens supplied in the laboratory by performing the same simple tests for ident- ification, e.g. oratory hardness, cleavage, etc., as they use for identif icating specimens in the lab- . From the fossils the student learns how the age of sedimentary rocks are determined. Following this the student learns basic structural geology such as stratification, layering and foliation; erosion; then geomorphology which is the study of the changes in the landscape due to culminating in the study of geological maps that show patterns of rock type outcrops, stratas, faults and folds in fact all the information the student has learned in his or her first year geology.

STEPHENS Szismic Tzc.hnicA.oin The Seismic Station at Lakehead University began operation in March 1969 and is one in a network of 28 stations in daily operation across Canada. This seismic network has been established in such a manner that no point in the country is more than 300 miles from a seismic station. Recordings produced by these stations make possible the detection and location of all major earthquakes, underground blasts, and nuclear explosions any- where in the world. Seismic records are produced by a photographic process and must be changed and developed every 24 hours, along with the calibration of recording and detection equipment. Daily records are then annotated, analyzed and forwarded to the Seismology Division of the Earth Physics Branch, EMR, Ottawa. All major disturbances recorded by stations are immediately telexed to Ottawa to permit rapid determination of precise locations of events. Seismic studies are based on measurements of the time at which a particular disturbance was recorded, and the amount of ground motion it produced. Seismologists are currently using seismic records for such research projects as the determination of seismic risk zones in Canada; the related problems of practical standards for earthquake-resistant construction; and invest- igations of the regional properties of the earth's crust, mantle, and deep interior.

Fourth Year Honors ELEMENT DISSEMINATION IN VOLCANIC ROCKS Due to the variation in mineralogical composition a suite of volcanic rocks should have a variation in densities. This variation may be a good indicator of the different rock types. Titanium, Potassium, Copper, Zinc and Nickel are commonly found in rocks and may give a basic indication of rock types. With this in mind the purpose of my thesis was: 1) To find a simple analytical method of determining rock types, especially distinguishing rhyolite from rhyodacite, and andesite from basalt; 2) similar to the major elements and; 3) To see if the trace elements reflected a variation To see if there is any significant trace element differ- ence existing between the suite of volcanic rocks from Sturgeon Lake, a base metal area, and Wawa, an area barren of base metals, which might indicate the presence of a massive sulphide deposit. In order to accomplish this the concentrations of K, Ti, Ni, Zn and Cu in sixty samples were determined by using atomic absorption techniques. Through experimentation it was found that the specific gravity method of classifying volcanic rocks fails to give satisfactory results, but perhaps this is due to experimental error. It is apparent that Zn is best correlated to TiC>2 and K 0 and gives the best range of values 2 in the classification of volcanic rocks. more or less not correlated in K 2 0 or Ti0 2 Cu is correlated better in TiC^/K^O only. . Allan Chan And Ni is �PATRICK FUNG - Fourth Year Honors THE DISTRIBUTION OF IRON, MANGANESE AND TRACE ELEMENTS IN THE WATER-SEDIMENT INTERFACE OF CENTRAL NIPIGON BAY, LAKE SUPERIOR The main topographic features of central Nipigon Bay consist of a narrow, steep-sided channel; a shelfarea of variable width, being much wider along the north shore than along the south shore and a shelf -break which is predominant in the northern part and almost absent in the southern part of the topographic channel. The Eh and pH values on the water-sediment interface samples indicate a slightly oxidizing and weakly alkaline environment There are three types of sediments found on the lake-bottom: (1) a thin layer of sand occurring mainly along the shores, (2) a sequence of Holocene siltclay sediments covering most of the topographic lows and (3) a sequence of highly calcic Pleistocene varved clays of variable thickness occurring mainly in topographic highs. This sequence of sediments under ly the other two types by erosional contacts. The mineralogical composition of these sediments consists mainly of quartz, calcite, feldspars, dolomite, illite, kaolinite, amphiboles and smectite-vermiculite interbeddings. The quartz peak is always the highest but the calcite peak in the varved sediments and the amphiboles and feldspars peaks in the silt-clay sediments reach considerable height. The other peaks are always minor. The areal distribution of the elements iron, manganese, nickel, copper, zinc, chromium and strontium is affected by both the lithology and water-depth and on this basis, these elements can be divided into four groups Manganese (1) The iron-group, including iron, copper, zinc and chromium (3) Nickel (2) (4) Strontium Relative to average sedimentary rocks, central Nipigon Bay is enriched in manganese, zinc and copper and is depleted in strontium, nickel, iron and chromium. Relative to the surface sediments of Lake Superior, it is depleted in manganese, copper, nickel, zinc and chromium but is enriched in strontium. Relative to the top interval sediments of southern Lake Michigan, it is enriched in chromium, copper, nickel, iron and manganese but is depleted in zinc. Relative to the surface sediments of the Pacific, it is depleted in iron, manganese, nickel and copper. Strontium is probably camouflaged by calcium in the precipitated carbonates and is hence enriched in the highly calcic varved sediments. The differences in distribution between manganese and the iron-group of elements is attributed mainly to the difference in stability of their ions and the different rates of post-depositional dissolution and subsequent migration of these ions upwards along solution channels during compaction. The behaviour of nickel may be due to its affinity to the iron-group of elements on one hand and to manganese on the other Other factors affecting the distribution pattern may be the different amount of detrital dilution due to different rates of sediment accumulation and to the different concentrations of these elements in Lake Superior.

In most instances the sites we visited were natural occuring examples of what we would be presented with in the geomorphological portion of the course this year. Accompanying us on the trips were Dr. Mercy, Dr. Mother sill, Dr. Franklin, and Dr. Kehlenbeck The purposes of the trips were to give us an over all as well as several upper year students. general idea of the geology of the area around Thunder Bay, which proved valuable to students from southern Ontario as well as to examine some specific examples of bedding, dikes and unconformities Our first stop on the Sibley group field trip was at the site of the Wolf River. Here Dr. Mothersill and Dr. Franklin pointed out the sequences of varved clays in the sedimentary bedding through which the Wolf River has cut. Our next stop was at the Enterprise Mine. Here we saw lead, zinc and silver ores. We also saw sandstone beds underlaid by Precambrian rock, a difference of 1.9 billion years between the two rocks. The group was then taken to Pass Lake on Sibley Peninsula. This brought us to an exposed basal unit of the Sibley Group which is comprised of polymictic and conglomerates. We saw, also, a well-defined contrast zone between the conglomerates and sandstone. The last point of interest was a quarry composed of black Rove shale overlying a Gunflint Formation. Embedded within the Rove shale were large irregular carbonate concretions, possibly of organic origin. The second trip on October second, despite the rainy weather was participated in by about thirty students. The first stop of the day was at the spillway of the Kakebeka Falls Hydro Station. Because of the excavation it produced the best exposure of Gunflint tuff-argillite in the area. Here we noted a fault with strike parallel to the face of the spillway cut. This site afforded an excellent opportunity to students who wished to collect samples as the area was abundant in pyrite nodules embedded in the chert as well as pyrite veins. Areas of shale, limestone, tuff, greywacke and chert beds were also closely observed. Close examination also revealed anthroxolite in veins. Our next stop at the Falls proper revealed a resistant chert-limestone cap which protected the underlying shales from erosion due to the Falls. Approximately one-half mile upstream from the Falls we examined the point of contact between the Gunflint Formation and the older granite. Next we proceeded to the point at which the Whitefish River crossed the road. A short distance down stream we examined a unconformity between older granodiorite (igneous intrusive rock) containing plagioclase and amphibole, and the Gunflint Formation. At this point chert mounds overlying the very thin basal conglomerate were observed. The chert mounds were believed formed from very primitive algae Proceeding south we came to the Pigeon River Middle Falls area. Here a gabbro dike in Black Rove shale has produced an obstruction at right angles to the river movement which is resistant to water erosion resulting in the Falls. These black shale formations contained carbonate minerals believed to be of organic origin 1.65 x 10l0 years old. Proceeding back to Thunder Bay we passed through the range of eroded mountains called the "Norwesters" of which Mount McKay is an example. These mountains are formed of black shale of the Rove Formation and are capped by a diabase layer about 200 feet thick. The diabase which is resistant to erosion prevents the shale from being eroded, reducing the mountains to a vertual peneplain. As the year proceeded, we were better able to comprehend the forces which produced and are destroying these features which we examined. We could also better comprehend these features as they naturally occurred, which were set out rather idealistically in the course proper. . , Barry Pinn, First Year Geology Student. ��cop©5 Wcr°9 da ser\/'\n9^°ina ssgss^ e^ ^^ an copeS ( apPv c ' ,a^° nS ' sa\ovs comPen eS eS s\aQ ,Of' a\\ o\ftev tov ' access ' 1 supplied and serviced by First in WALTER 901 A.

Dr. Mercy came to Lakehead University in 1967 to set up the Department of Geology and so this year marks the first year in which the graduating honours students will have received all of their university training under Dr. Mercy’s excellent guidance. Dr. Mercy came to Lakehead University after a distinguished ten year career at the Grant Institute of Geology at the University of Edinburgh. He took his doctorate at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London in 1955 and has been conducting research in geochemistry ever since. He is a pioneer in the field of development of rapid methods of chemical analysis of rocks and has applied his talents to many geochemical problems. Those who have worked with him know and appreciate his messianic concern with accuracy and woe betide the sloppy or untidy associate. My three year association with Dr. Mercy at Lakehead University left me with a high regard of his active and aggressive leadership. In the face of overwhelming difficulties he built up a faculty and facility of which any geology department could be proud. It is therefore with great pleasure that I dedicate this first volume to him and I urge all who follow to strive for the high standard he sets and to continue in this admirable enterprise. James L. Talbot 3 Chairman 3 Department of Geology 3 University of Montana. 3 �: V' The production of this Geology Year Book is a major achievement by the geology students of Lakehead University and I congratulate them for showing the initiative, energy, tenacity and the many other qualities needed for the successful completion of their project. The Department of Geology grew out of a Mining Technology program which had been given since The Department, in its present form, is but the early days of the Lakehead Technical Institute. four years old and our first group of B.Sc. Honours students is preparing for graduation this May. Our present teaching programs are as diversified as possible and are designed to give students Thus we have the maximum opportunity to choose directions in which they may develop their talents. programs of study of Geology with Chemistry, Geology with Physics and Geology with Economics. We believe that these programs can give students the education and experience needed to enter the whole range of mining and petroleum industries as well as providing the academic basis for going on to graduate schools. The principal research activities of the Department are concentrated in two areas: a limnogeological reconnaissance survey of the Canadian portion of Lake Superior which is supported by contracts negotiated with the Canada Centre for Inland Waters; and a multidisciplinary investigation of a continuous section of midwest Superior Province crust, from Shebandowan to Pickle Crow, which crosses five juxtaposed Archean belts. This latter research involves the close cooperation of members of the Department with a group of geophysicists and geologists at the University of Toronto. In this fourth year of the life of the Department I see that we are developing teaching and research programs of good academic quality. We have a faculty and staff who are hard-working persons dedicated to the pursuit of the earth sciences. But when all is said and done, it is the quality of the students which will demonstrate to the outside world the nature of this Department. You young men and women are our ambassadors. Yours are the talents which will make the reputation of our Department known and respected. In the production of this Year Book you are showing that you are a group of people with a lively interest in and concern for your chosen profession. Good luck to you all.

Ross, Dean of Science, Lakehead University It is a pleasure to write this short address to the Geology Club of Lakehead University. I heartily commend the editor, Juris Zdanovskis, co-editor Patrick Fung, and photographers on their enthusiastic enterprise in producing this Year Book. I believe it is the first of its kind to be produced by any of the Students’ Clubs in Departments of the Faculty of Science, and the Department of Geology should be justly proud of this agreeable achievement. The significant role played by geologists in the discovery and development of the resources of Canada is marked by history and yet my belief is that the best is still to come. Reference to the Science Council of Canada Report No. 7 on the Earth Sciences would amply justify the tenor of that statement. The future prospects of exciting and creative work in geology, geophysics, geochemistry and the other earth sciences must appeal to many of our brighter students who are oriented towards the scientific disciplines. Many promising careers are and will be available to graduates in research, development, consulting, management and so on. Of course, a successful study of geology means continuous hard work, but when was any worthwhile success or achievement obtained without such effort? Since, in Pantin's terms, geology is an 'unrestricted' science, the graduate geologist must and does have a wider knowledge and appreciation of the other sciences than his colleagues in neighbouring disciplines with the possible exception of the biologist. I firmly believe that students of geology have chosen their subject wisely. rewards will be many. Go to it and your To the members of the Geology Club of Lakehead University, I wish every accomplishment in the future and extend my strongest hopes and support for the success of this excellent Year Book.

The first talk of publication occurred at the beginning of the school year, but little was done until a few weeks before Christmas, when a few of us began to consider where the money would come from to pay for the publication. To my surprise, the response was remarkable; the Geology Department was first to indicate mathematical figures that sounded impressive. The Science Society, slow but sure was next in line. The rest of the money had to come from advertising, a source which did not look too promising at first, because of our late start. The companies were agreeable and were sufficiently interested to pull us through with the final cash resources. Faced with a staff of bushwackers, who had little experience in publishing, we worked slowly; but with all the problems we were still capable of putting out an excellent book. I should like to thank Dr. Edward Mercy, Chairman, Department of Geology, Lakehead University, for his eager response in helping us to publish the book. Many thanks to the Geology Secretary, Mrs. Jean Helliwell for her help with the business side, and her typing. Without Sam Spivak's help and his artistic talent with the drafting pencil our advertising would have been a mess. I enjoyed working with the staff that I had and hope to have them back next year for the second publication. If you, the reader, have any criticism of the book, please forward your remarks to me and we shall try our best to improve the book. Thanks to my staff for their time and patience.

CURRENT RESEARCH The mineralogical nature of the mantle of the earth can be deduced in three ways - by considering what known earth materials fit the determined geophysical parameters (such as pressure, temperature, density, value of the gravitational constant, the velocities of seismic waves, and others), by relating the known chemical compositions of basaltic magmas to possible mantle compositions which could produce such lavas by partial or complete melting processes, and by studying the mineralogy and chemistry of rocks, emplaced at high levels in the crust, which might represent unaltered mantle squeezed up into the crust by tectonic processes or brought up as xenoliths in magmas. There is general agreement that the uppermost part of the mantle and at least some part of the lower crust is made up of the assemblage: olivine + orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene + spinel = spinel lherzolite. This is considered to be representative of granulite facies conditions in contrast to the eclogite facies conditions of the deeper parts of the mantle which is represented by the assemblage: olivine + orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene + garnet = garnet lherzolite. Natural materials which have the appropriate properties are the spinel-lherzolite xenoliths occurring in basaltic lava flows and the garnetlherzolite xenoliths in the Kimberlite diatremes of South Africa. Another type is represented by the series of small tectonic intrusions of spinel-lherzolite which outcrop in the French Pyrenees A period of field work based at the beautiful town of Foix enabled me to make a detailed study of what Lacroix described as the type lherzolite. This occurs at a height of 1300 metres o.d. at the Etang de Lers as a tectonic intrusion into tightly folded and strongly metamorphosed Mesozoic rocks. The lherzolite contains 45-85% by volume of olivine, 10-35% orthopyroxene, 5-20% diopside, and 1-6% spinel. These differences in mineralogical composition are caused by the layered structure of the lherzolite. The main point of lherzolite work is an understanding of the chemistry of the lherzolites and particularly the distribution of elements such as nickel and chromium between the various mineral phases. Such data can lead to knowledge of the conditions of equilibration amongst the phases and may enable one, in comparison with a very great amount of published work, to establish models for the chemistry of the upper mantle.

LIMNOGEOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE LAKE SUPERIOR BASIN The bottom topography of the eastern part of the Lake Superior basin consists of a lake-shelf two to four miles wide and a series of north-south aligned, topographical deeps and highs three to four miles wide lakeward, which is in marked contrast to the east-northeast and east-southeast trends of the onshore Precambrian rocks. The temperature of the bottom sediments is related to waterdepth. The high pH values of the bottom sediments in Goulais Bay and Batchawana Bay appear to be caused by the alkaline waters of the Goulais and Batchawana rivers respectively. The pH measurements of the bottom sediments elsewhere in the area of study do not appear to be related to either water-depth or to the lake-bottom sedimentary types. The Recent sand deposition is restricted to the lake-shelf and to the offshore topographical high areas. Based on grain-size analyses the sands of the topographical highs are normally coarsergrained and better sorted than the sands of the adjacent lake-shelf area suggesting stronger current action offshore. In addition the sands of these two environments can be differentiated on the basis of total heavy mineral content as the sands of the topographical highs never contain more than 3»1 per cent heavy minerals whereas the sands of the lake-shelf area may contain from 4.1 to 26.0 per cent heavy minerals. The main area of provenance for the sands would appear to be the rocks along the shoreline and the drainage area of the eastern Lake Superior basin. The reason for the relative decrease in the percentage of heavy minerals present along the topographical highs would appear to be that most heavy minerals are unstable in a fresh water environment and therefore would tend to be chemically decomposed before being transported to the offshore topographical high areas. The sands south of Coppermine Point are generally coarser-grained, better sorted and less positively skewed than the sands north of Coppermine Point regardless of environment of deposition. This is probably the result of stronger current action along the shallower waters of the topographical highs and lake-shelf area south of Coppermine Point. The occurrence of a thicker sand sequence in progressively shallower water from north to south across the area of study could be related to the post-glacial isostatic tilting of the Lake Superior basin to the southwest as the Michipicoten area has been raised 20 meters relative to the Sault Ste. Marie area since the Nipissing stage (Farrand, i960 ). The Recent sediments in the central parts of Batchawana and Goulais Bay and in the offshore topographical lows consist of coarse silts to coarse clays. These Recent silt-clays form a consistent sequence of the following three units: an upper thin veneer (< 4 cm. ) of coarse to very fine-grained dark yellowish brown silt; an intermediate, relatively thin (2-12 cm.), unit consisting of olive gray, fine-grained silt to coarse-grained clay; a lower thick unit of coarse to very fine-grained, dark yellowish brown silt. The thickness of this sequence is greatest in the central parts of the topographical deeps where it is in excess of 180 cm. thick. The mineralogical composition of the three units is very similar and consists of orthoclase, microcline, quartz, 15 �The difference in colour is probablychlorite, illite and an interbedding of chlorite and illite. caused by the higher oxidation state of the dark yellowish brown silts. Varved sediments, probably of Pleistocene age, underlie the Recent sediments in the area of study. North of Coppermine Point the varved sediments are greenish gray in colour whereas to the south The mineralogical of Coppermine Point the varves have been oxidized to pale brown in colour. composition of the varved sediments consists of orthoclase, microcline, quartz, chlorite, illite, an interbedding of chlorite and illite, dolomite and calcite. It was noted that there is a decrease in the percentage of calcite in the varved sediments northward of St. Mary's River. JOHN LAKE S. MOTHERSILL SUPERIOR LIMNOGEOLOGICAL STUDIES BASIN. 16 OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE �Dr. Henri Loubat Geological Engineer, PhD., Geneva Assistant Professor, Lakehead University Petrology I became particularly attracted by petrology in 19ol when I found the opportunity of studying a set of metamorphic rocks from California. These rocks belonged to the glaucophane-schist and eclogite facies of metamorphism. At that time, I was fascinated by two problems exhibited by these classic Californian types: the process of diaphtoresis and the phenomenon of converging facies. , The "glaucophane-schist" may be due to a particular regional metamorphism acting on greywackes and ophiolites; but frequently it results from a retrograde process of modification from a high degree of metamorphism (amphibolite or eclogite) toward lower degrees of alteration. Both these glaucophane-bearing types are to be found, closely associated, in California, and they exemplify very well the retroinorphosis diaphthoresis) and facies "convergence". It is easy to realize the interest of the study of those facies, if we know that eclogite themselves are not always considered as metamorphic rocks.... ( Soon after, receiving a grant from the University of Geneva I studied briefly greenstones, sediments and serpentines from Cuba. The degree of alteration of my samples was somewhat discouraging for a sucessful petrographical and geochemical investigation, but this was a first contact with igneous submarine rocks. During the next four years my main petrographic activity was devoted to surveying the Versoyen region - this area of the Alps is geologically very attractive. We should know that the Alps are subdivized longitudinally by a major tectonic thrust plane, the trace of which is called the "Pennic front thrust". This line runs parallel to the chain, subdivizing it into two equal bands: the "internal Alps" (toward Italy) and the "external Alps" (toward France and Switzerland). The former is very rich in ophiolites, strongly metamorphic and intensely disturbed by the tectonic. The latter is not metamorphic, lacking ophiolites, and gently folded. The Versoyen, which is located exactly on the border between France and Italy, is the last ophiolitic area we could find when leaving the internal Alps going toward France, ’with this marginal location, this area offers the weakest degree of metamorphism we could have in the Alps for submarine volcanic rocks. A study based on field, microscopic and chemical investigations leads to the following conclusions: 'We have there a well-preserved submarine volcanic complex composed of the piling of various related units; at the bottom, along with slabs of aplitic granites and gneiss (fragments of the Alpine basement?), thin layers of serpentinites . Above, thick lenses of diff erenciated gabbros; still above, a set of sills, inter-bedded with black schists. At the top, an enormous amount of pillow-lavas. This rather logical sequence so well known by anglo-saxon geologists, was never recognized before anywhere in the Alps, although it is quite probable that it is actuall' omnipresent, but was always disturbed by complex diastrophism. 17 �o Moreover there was an interesting point about the metamorphism of the volcanic system: the intensity of metamorphism was steadily decreasing from the I suggested an eventual bottom to the top (very weakly metamorphic pillows) direct relationsnip between the depth of the crustal segment and a kind of late-magmatic auto alteration (deuteric alteration). . These are the reasons why I remain personally interested in the results of dredging operations, close to any mid-oceanic ridge. If there were some metamorphic rocks already there, they may well be attributed to some process of alteration of that kind. As soon as you are occupied by such questions, generally many other interesting problems arise. Studying recently, in collaboration with the Bedford Canadian Oceanic Institute, a set of dredged specimens, I momentarily shift toward another topic of interest: the origin of the dredged serpentinized ultrabic fragments. Among many interesting and mysterious facts, we found evidence of an intense pre-serpentinization cataclasis, probably due to a creeping process at the base of the crust, and presumably related to the oceanic floor spreading. Many N. lat. on the Mid Atlantic Ridge are still metamorphic specimens from waiting for an investigation; we may say already that they uniformly belong to the green schist facies only. It is fascinating to meet, near Thunder Bay, in the heart of the Canadian Shield, greenstone belts showing perfectly preserved relics of submarine basic lavas, exactly similar to the one formed very recently. It is extremely promising to compare their detailed petrological properties, with those recent equivalent rocks, because we may suppose some kind of difference between now and 3 billion years ago in the superficial environment and in the relations between continents, oceanic crust and mantle. In this comparison, as a petrologist, I foresee the possibility of detecting an evolution of the earth's crust, evolution about which we do not even have a serious hypothetical model yet.

Assistant Professor, Lakehead University- Research Metallogeny of the Lake Superior Crustal Traverse, Shebandowan to Pickle Lake Origin of low temperature silver deposits, Thunder Bay area Stratigraphy of the Sibley Group, Thunder Bay District Metallogeny, Its Concepts and Uses Two concepts of metallogenesis are (l) the genesis of a single metal in a variety of geological environments, and (2) the examination of all mineral deposits within a geologically or geographically defined region. The "single metal" concept does not facilitate documentation of variations in mode of occurrence with time, and may preclude comparison or integration of genetic ideas related to one metal with with those related to another. This concept does, however, allow for complete examination of the chemistry of concentration of a metal in all geological processes. For example, Gross (1965) in his study of iron deposits, is able to document the processes operative in concentrating iron in igneous (iron-titanium deposits associated with Grenville anorthosites), metamorphic (contact meta somatic deposits of Vancouver Island) and sedimentary (Algoma, Superior and Minette type deposits) bodies. Such a study contributes much to fundamental geochemistry, but may, in certain circumstances, be of less significance in deposit exploration. For example, in searching for copper, the exact nature of the chemical control on deposition of the metal is less important than the stage of development of a eugeocyncline or facies of cratonic cover sediments affiliated with copper deposition. Recognition of the appropriate lithofacies associated with a deposit is a fundamental factor in delineating new areas of exploration. The second metallogenetic concept involves examination of variations in mineral deposit type within litho stratigraphic or petrogenetic province. Basically an accurate interpretation of source and time of deposition of mineral deposits is integrated with a regional tectonic history including geosynclinal and post-orogenic evolution. Clearly, a prime difficulty in such a study is. selecting useful co-incident geographic and geologic limits. All lithological and structural variations in any time—unit should be included within the geographic bounds of the study. The area must have adequately outlined mineral deposit genesis, paleogeographic and tectonic reconstruction. a time-stratigraphic, Convenient geologic limits might be set by systemic boundaries and orogenic events. For example, the Aphebian era is defined at its initiation by the Kenoran orogeny, and at its end by the Penokean and Hudsonian orogeny. The Helikian era is defined by the latter orogenies at its inception, but the termination of dominant continental volcanism and sedimentation at its end. Together these eras include many conventional tectonic elements. The problem is to select an area in which the complete geosynclinal, mountain building, and continental deposition events are preserved. The Lake Superior and Central Labrador areas meet these requirements. A metallogenic scheme for the former region is outlined in Table 1. 19 �. . . . Two uses of such a scheme might be found in mineral deposit exploration and research into earlycrustal conditions. For example, the exploration geologist may not have been aware of the possibility of "breccia-pipe" porpbyrycopper deposits associated with Neohelikian rocks of the Lake Superior area. Examination of available maps indicates the presence of many crypto-volcanic features; more deposits of the Tribag type might be found at appropriate structural loci. Metallogeny might also be useful as an indicator of a specific tectonic stage. For example, if anomalous concentrations of molybdenum are found only in post-orogenic, "high level" salic intrusive rocks, then the presence of this metal in certain Archean granite may suggest that these granites formed much later than the predominant volcanic rocks, 1 in a post-island arc, continental setting. We may thus investigate the possibility of two igneous events in the Archean which may have occurred at widely separated times.

Chakraborty, M.Sc. (Jad»); Ph.D. (l»I«T. ) Assistant Professor, Lakehead University A Statistical Study of Crystal Contacts Across a Segregated Hornblende Vein in Amphibolite and its Implication The pattern of spatial distribution of crystals in rocks depends on the energies of crystal contacts and entropy of distribution. The stable equilibrium patterns possess minimum distributional free energy. For a linear unidimensional system consisting of equal numbers of A and B crystals of the same size, the distributional free energy can be expressed as F = i n P( u M + U BB - 2Uab ) + nUAB + nkT [p log (-gp) + (l - p) log(l - p)] = energy of A-B contact, etc., and p = probability of A having another A as neighbour. where U Thus, for given contact energies, the value of p corresponding to the minimum of F would determine the spatial distribution of crystals in the rocks. The energies associated with different types of crystal contacts in natural rocks are unknown. However, if p can be determined, it might be possible to decipher the relative energies of the crystal contacts. A possible way to determine p is to carefully evaluate the frequencies of different crystal contacts in a given rock. Frequencies of contacts depend on the preferred crystal associations as well as on the modal percentage of the minerals and crystal sizes. By suitable statistical device (Markov Chain) the frequency of crystal contacts only due to preferred crystal association can be evaluated. Crystal association during crystallization of a rock is governed by other factors apart from contact energies. Hence evaluation of contact energies would be plausible where rearrangement of initial crystal association is apparent. An attempt has been made to evaluate relative energies of hornblende-hornblende, plagioclaseplagioclase and homblende-plagioclase contacts from a specimen of amphibolite (hornblende and plagioclase together make up more than 90/o by volume). The specimen contains a differentiated zone consisting of a hornblende vein bordered by a feldspathic aureole. It has been concluded elsewhere that the differentiation is later than the crystallization of the amphibolite. Frequencies of crystal contacts across the differentiated zone are analyzed statistically employing Markov Chain concept. It is observed that homblende-plagioclase contacts are minimum The in the differentiated zone and gradually increase and assume maximum value away from it. reverse is true for hornblende-hornblende and plagioclase-plagioclase contacts. Thus the distribution patterns of crystals in the amphibolite away from, adjacent to and within the differentiated zone are ordered, random and segregated respectively. This suggests that segregational pattern possesses minimum distributional free energy for this system which is possible if the mean energy of hornblende-hornblende and plagioclase-plagioclase contacts is less than the energy of homblende-plagioclase contact. 21 �Analysis of Material Balance in Segregated Bodies Existence of material balance is one of the most convincing evidences in favour of segregational origin of the differentiated features like veins or lenses of mineral "concentrates" bordered by characteristic "aureoles". Analysis of material balance is therefore crucially important and it cannot be overemphasized that the methods employed for such analysis ought to be reliable as well as capable of revealing the true state of balance within the differentiated bodies. By use of spherical and triaxial ellipsoidal models of segregation the reliability of the methods commonly used for balance analysis are tested. It is demonstrated that none of them can yield correct results. The reason for this is that these methods do not take the true volume ratio This volume ratio is an indispensable factor of the "concentrate" and "aureole" into account. for correct balance analysis. Accordingly, modified procedures to evaluate the state of balance are suggested. Determination of the above mentioned volume ratio in natural specimens is extremely difficult and imposes severe restrictions on the scope of balance analysis. The state of balance across a hornblende vein surrounded by a feldspathic aureole has been determined by the suggested method as well as by one of the existing methods for a comparative evaluation of their reliabilities. The results obtained by the suggested methods show that material balance exists, thus indicating the segregational origin of the vein. This agrees well with the conclusion derived from mineralogical and chemical evidences. But, as predicted from the model studies, the existing method shows a lack of material balance across the vein.

Presently, Chief Laboratory Technician, Lakehead University. Thin Section Making with the Aid of Araldite Epoxy Resin. Araldite Epoxy (Resin 502, Hardener 956)has the ability to penetrate into the cracks and cleavage planes of minerals and it will bond efficiently the angular particles of semi-consolidated sedimentary rocks, as well as recent sediments and soil samples. The adhesive properties of the Resin are such that it can be used as a mounting media, where such thermo-plastics as "Lakeside 70" cannot be used or are not advisable due to the re-arrangement or twisting of the surface to be mounted. IGNEOUS ROCKS The following are some of the ways in which Araldite Resin was used in making thin sections of serpentinites from the Atlantic Ridge of the Azores. These rocks were very fragile and had a coating of manganese over the whole or part of the sample. The Preparation for the thin section: Due to the fragmental nature of the sample, it was necessary to bond a part of it even before attempting to cut it. This is done by mixing Araldite Resin ( 10 parts of resin to The SDecimens to be cut 2 parts hardener, by volume) in a thin-walled pliable polythene jar. are placed in an oven set at 60 degree Centigrade until the surface is hot to the touch. Remove from the oven and immerse the portion of the rock to be sectioned in the resin. Return the polythene jar with the specimen to a vacuum oven and impregnate the sample. When the oven chamber starts to evacuate, the resin will start to froth. This frothing is controlled by periodical closing of the vacuum and slowly allowing the air to force the resin into the sample's surface. Repeat this procedure until it becomes apparent that there is sufficient penetration of the resin into the surface of the sample, so that when cold, it can be cut without breaking. The Cutting: Remove the sample from its container. A surrounding mass of excess resin is beneficial, as it will preserve the outside edges of the sample. If Clamp the unimpregnated part in the cutting machine and cut off the required part. the specimen is holding together, then cut a second slab for future work. Wash the cut-off part and examine it under the microscope. Ensure that the surface cracks have been impregnated and if not, dry the slab and return it to the oven to complete drying and warming of the surface for coating with a fresh mix of resin. If the slab is used, it may suffice to place it on the plate to warm for surface coating. Surface coat the slab with resin, impregnating it as before if it was on the hot plate or in the oven. Allow it to set, strip off any unwanted resin with a razor blade while the slab is still hot, to save unnecessary grinding. 23 �: When the sample is cold, trim to the size of a sli'de and grind to a very fine mounting surface, using either coated carborundum paper (400, then 600 grit) or a glass plate with the Wash the sample and ensure that the required surface is whole (not same abrasive and water. pitted) and even.

Clean and cover a covering the surrounding slide with a solvent such as chloroform or acetone. slip with a reasonable amount of Canada Balsam, warm it on the hot plate until the Balsam flows outward over the cover-slip, and in the meantime warm the surface of the thin section. Do this by holding it over the hotplate without touching it, and then laying the two surfaces together. Remove the covered section from the hotplate, then carefully press down the cover-slip to remove all the air. Clean off the surplus Balsam with acetone and finally with chloroform. a If the thin section is too fragile to use heated Balsam, use Permount and allow to dry This takes longer, but it helps to retain the structure of the section. at room temperature. SEDIMENTARY ROCKS The thin sectioning of sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, sandy shales, clay shales, etc. can be difficult when their natural cementing media is a carbonate or some other material (with the exception of silica). It is therefore necessary to impregnate the rock with a material that will act as a bonding substance to retain the grains and structure of the rock in original form. If the rock matrix is a carbonate, either calcite or dolomite, the action of the cutting blade will tear away the carbonate, leaving many loose grains, and the stages of grinding prior to mounting on the slide will have a similar effect, though not so harsh. If the fine-ground slab is washed down and dried, then examined under a binocular microscope, it will be observed that the cleavage- planes of the carbonate have been irritated and are apt to be loose. Therefore, when the slide mounting media is applied to the section slab, and the slide placed in position, a gritty feeling will be observed. The result is a thin section full of holes, due to the fact that all the grain surfaces were not on an even plane. If the same sandstone were impregnated with Araldite Epoxy Resin, all the grains as well as the cleavage planes of the carbonate would be bonded together to create a solid interior which can be thin-sectioned without any difficulty. The same technique may be applied to sandy shales and the fine laminations of shales. Method Cut the rock with a diamond blade to a thickness of no less than one quarter of an Dry the slab and place it on inch, as this will give a sufficient depth with which to work. a Teflon plate (Use Teflon because of its self- lubricating properties as well as its high melting point) and put the unit in a vacuum oven and bring it to 60 degrees Centigrade. 24 �; : Mix a small batch of Araldite Resin (such as 20 ml. of resin to 4 ml. of hardener), Remove the Teflon stir it well and leave it standing until the mass of air bubbles is out. plate and the slab from the oven and quickly apply a surface coat of the resin to the slab, When the resin has stopped frothing, and then return it to the oven and re-evacuate the air.

THE IMPREGNATION OF RECENT SEDIMENTS by a The following report is on the technical procedure of making micro-polished surface of a recent fine grained sediment. a thin section followed The sediments which are wet when collected in core form are cut along their length to The selected parts are removed and dried out slowly to expose the variation in deposition. prevent excessive shrinkage and to minimize the number of cracks. Stage I This is done on The first stage is to grind a flat surface of the selected sample. dry abrasive paper of 400 grit, and then on 600 grit until the surface is flat, blowing off any excess with a compressed air jet. Stage 1 1 The impregnation media is Araldite Epoxy (Resin 502 Hardener 956) (a mixture of 10 parts Teflon should be used for the mould, as it is a self- lubricating resin to two parts hardener). plastic which does not require any releasing agents. It is convenient to have circular rings of varying depths and diameters - these rings are placed on a Teflon plate (one quarter of an inch thick) to prevent bending. The ring is held in place on the plate with a thin layer of silicon grease, which prevents leakage from the mould. Place the sample in the mould, prepare the resin and let is stand to allow any excess air to come to the surface. Wet the surface of the specimen with Methyl Ethyl Ketone, (a resin thinner which invades finer layers, allowing the resin to better impregnate the sample). Pour the resin into the mould so that it just covers the sample, and then put the unit in the vacuum oven and start to evacuate the chamber. At 15 pounds pressure, the resin will start to froth. Do not allow it to overflow the mould, and to prevent this close the vacuum control valve and slowly open the vent. The inrush of air will start the impregnation of the sample, a repetition of this process should be done until there is no bubbling under the vacuum. Close the vacuum control, switch off the pump and open the vent slowly. When the vacuum is released, set the oven heater at 60 degrees Centigrade and allow it to cure for two or more hours. Remove the unit from the oven and allow it to cool. Separate the ring from the Teflon plate and press out the sample. The method of preparation for thin section is similar to that of a sedimentary rock, with several exceptions. The surface to be mounted on the slide must be on an even plane with the surrounding resin so that there is no relief between the two. The only way to obtain a flat even surface, if the sediment does not fine grind flat, is by repeated surface impregnation, and careful fine grinding. Use a fresh mix of resin as a mounting cement. Apply a little to the slide and to the fine surface of the sample and press them together. Leave it to set for at least 24 hours. The now thin section is ground to its proper thickness, after machining as before, on a wet glass plate using 1000 Carborundum, clean and cover with thinned Balsam or Permount. The Polished Surface is The preparation is the same as for the thin section, with the exception that the sample moulded in a bakelite ring especially made for the DUrner Polishing Machine.

Shegelski J. In the summer of 1970, a reconnaissance survey was done of the bottom sediments of Thunder Bay. This was generally done with a Boston Whaler using a Phleger corer and a Ponar grab sampler and 147 sample points were done in this manner. Three sonar traverses were also made in the Bay. Samples were brought back to the laboratory for analysis. Cores were split and lithologies were recorded. Samples from cores were analysed by x-ray diffractometer, thin and polished sections were made of various parts and certain layers were analysed for iron and manganese. Results of analyses indicate that the sediments in Thunder Bay can be divided into five categories. Varved Clay. Weathered Varved Clay. Intermediate Clay. Upper (1) (2) (3) (4) Deltaic Sediment. Upper Trough Sediment. Through correlation of the cores and sonar runs, (5) the stratigraphy has been established as such. The Varved Clay is the oldest, the Weathered and Intermediate Clays are the second oldest and the Upper Sediments are the youngest and overlies the previous types. An areal distribution is shown in the accompanying map. Results of the iron and manganese analyses indicate that the Upper Sediments contain anomalously high concentrations of iron and manganese. It has been proposed that upward migration of connate waters rich in iron and manganese has produced highly concentrated layers of iron and manganese near the top of the Upper Sediments. The proposed mechanisms of concentration are precipitation, burial subsequent resolution and upward migration causing redeposition at an appropriate Eh, (pH) interface. AND CONGRATULATIONS to the M.

Vanstone The Gavin Lake property is located in south central British Columbia, about 25 miles east of McLeese Lake. The property lies on the eastern side of the Quesnel Trough, which is a trough of Mesozoic strata flanked by older Paleozoic and Proterozoic strata. Geologically, the property consists of two main rock groups: volcanic rocks, which include sediments of volcanic derivation, and porphyritic quartz monzonite. The volcanic sediments cover most of the property, with the volcanic flows occurring as a strip across one end of the property. Intruding into all these rocks is a dyke swarm of quartz monzonite porphyry. During the last field season a detailed geochemical survey was carried out on the property. The results of these samples were treated statistically to distinguish between the background samples and the anomalous samples. The anomalous copper and molybdenum areas were then outlined. These areas were of three types: high Mo-high Cu, high Mo-low Cu and high Cu-low Mo. Later in the summer a number of soil profiles were taken across one of each type of anomalous area. Using atomic absorption, these samples were analyzed for total Cu and total Mo. A number of the samples were also selected for partial analysis using S.D.T.A., as an aid in distinguishing between significant and non-significant anomalous areas. The copper and molybdenum values for the entire property were treated statistically to determine what effect topography had on their distribution. The results of treatment showed lower mean and standard deviation values for the hilltops than for the valley bottoms. The values for the valley slopes were intermediate between the hilltops and the valley bottoms. Taking into account the pH of the soil, the soil type, the underlying rock type, the topographic location' and the copper and molybdenum distribution revealed by the soil profiles, a criterion was formed to distinguish between significant and non-significant anomalous areas. 38 �THE STRUCTURE, STRATIGRAPHY AND PETROLOGY OF THE NORTH END OF THE ABITIBI BLOCK 7, STURGEON LAKE, ONTARIO Lou Covello The Sturgeon Lake greenstone belt is typical of the rhyolite-andesite-basalt assemblage of Archean metavolcanic rocks in the Canadian Shield. It consists of thick volcano-sedimentary pile, broadly symformal in morphology with a central outcropping of infolded coarse, poorly sorted metasediments flanked to the north and south by the main metavolcanic sequence. The entire greenstone belt is engulfed in a gneissic basement complex and intruded by numerous late Archean granitic plutons. The north end of Abitibi Block 7 comprises a sequence of felsic and intermediate metavolcanics lying on the south side of the greenstone belt. Detailed mapping of this area has revealed the lithology to have a uniform east-west strike and near vertical dip. Individual rock units are essentially lens-like and relatively undeformed. Metamorphism is of greenschist facies, the common mineral assemblage being quartz, albite, carbonate ± chlorite, ± epidote, ± muscovite, ± chloritoid. Rhyolitic and rhyo-dacitic rocks tend to be pyroclastic in origin, while more mafic members often occur as pillow lavas, or vesicular and massive flows with minor pyroclastic and ash-flow type interbeds.

D. Middaugh During the late summer of 1970 a reconnaisance survey of the bottom sediments of Black Bay was carried out. The sampling was done from a Boston Whaler using a Phleger gravity corer and a Ponar grab sampler. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions only 32 stations were completed. Samples, on being brought to the laboratory underwent various analysis. Grain size analysis were done using sieve and pipette methods. The Ph and Eh were recorded at the top and at various depths along the length of the core. The cores were split and logged and samples were taken at various intervals of x-ray diffractometer analysis and for trace element analysis using the Atomic Absorption unit. The trace elements analysed for were Cu, Fe, Mn, Cr, and Ni. Results of the x-ray diffractometer analysis indicate that there are three units present. Glacially derived clay, 2) post glacial intermediate clay, 3) upper 1) recent sediments. These units are conformable in the deeper parts of the bay but exhibit erosional contacts near the more shallow margins. The geochemical data indicate that the trace element concentrations are independent of grain size. The data would also seem to indicate that the trace element concentrations are fairly uniform and show no anomalous values either vertically or horizontally relative to the lithology of the sediments of Black Bay.

C. Lee Amphiboles and pyroxenes are separated from the rock specimens which are syenites and nepheline syenites from the Coldwell Alakaline Complex. The amphiboles and pyroxenes are determined by both optical and x-ray powder methods. The 2V angles, extinction angles and refractive indexes (a, 3, y>) are determined for these specimens. The pyroxenes are found to be soda augite, aegirine-augite and augite. Zoning is observed; there is an enrichment in aegirine content towards the rim of the crystals. The amphiboles determined by the optical studies are proved to be ferrohastingsite, hastingsite, and also some riebeckite. Zoning is also observed; the iron content increases from the center towards the rim of the crystals. Optical determination is a much better method than that of x-ray for these minerals. X-ray determination is a failure for the pyroxenes and amphiboles. It is due to the fact that the cell parameters of diposide is very similar to those of aegirine and augite. The same factor affects the x-ray determination of amphiboles; the cell parameters of riebeckite is very similar to those of ferrohastingste and arfverdsonite The course of crystallization of these pyroxenes seems to be:- soda augite -> aegirine-augite -> Aegirine. According to Aoki (1954) as well as Yaki (1966), crystallization in the mentioned trend takes place under low temperature and high oxygen partial pressure conditions. When the crystallization trend is moving towards the aegirine-rich members, the temperature is decreasing gradually and the oxygen partial pressure is increasing simultaneously From the analytical results; the sequence; - Ferrohastingsite - Arfvedsonite is suspected to be continuous. Formerly, both riebeckite and arfredsonite are suspected to be the final end product. The presence of riebeckite in some rock specimens of Coldwell Complex has shown that riebeckite is the final end member of the series. 41 �AilAA> COMPANY • MULTINATIONAL MINING • FACING "If TOMORROWS CHALLENGES The mining industry faces serious challenges in the coming decades in meeting its basic youngfolkstoday are looking CAREERS WITH A CHALLENGE — with social for —- responsibility to their RESPONSIBILITIES and GATIONS with service — fellowmen itsOBLI- fulfilling to protect environmental values.

Gold Metallogeny and the Geological Cycle in the Archaean Abstract Archaean geology is characterized by polycyclic assemblages of related plutonic, volcanic and sedimentary rocks representing the de-sialification of the proto-mantle. The ideal cycle comprises, from oldest to youngest, a mafic volcanic plate accompanied by mafic intrusives; a felsic volcanic pile accompanied by felsic intrusives; and annuli of volcanigenic sediments. Folding may precede or follow a cycle or, rarely, intervene between members of a cycle. Regional deformation and metamorphism conclude the Archaean; stabilization, uplift and brittle failure follow. Intrusive, volcanic and sedimentary phases of a cycle have accompanying syngenetic gold mineralization. Both clastic and chemical sedimentary deposits are known. Volcanigenic chemical sediments (exhalites) are particularly favourable. Exhalites have traditionally been classified into oxide, carbonate, sulfide and silicate facies to which arsenide, sulfate, and halide should be added. A further subdivision into sub facies based on cation population is proposed, e.g. (Fe/Cu/Zn/Ag/Pb/(Au?) sulfide. Sampling of diverse ) species of exhalite at the south margin of the Abitibi Basin indicates a close affinity of gold and sulfur. Ductile and brittle deformation and metamorphism have recrystallized and remobilized the gold anomalies to varying degrees. Complex gold-quartz vein histories are a common result but migration of gold is restricted to a few tens of feet or less.

The first involved a three-fold purpose: one, to acquaint us with the unconformable nature of the Sibley Archean contact, and the paraconformable nature of the Sibley-Rove contact; two, to observe bedding, ripple marks, a sedimentary sequence of chert, mudstone, sandstone and conglomerate; three, to view some diabase sheets which cut across the bedding. On the second field trip we proceeded to Pardee Township and Pigeon River to observe cuestas, dykes and concretions in the Rove shale. This trip also took us to the exploratory site of Great Lakes Nickel Company. Our first stop on the Sibley group field trip was at the site of the Wolf River. Here the professors pointed out to us the sequence of varved clays in the sedimentary bedding through which the Wolf River has cut. The next stop, at a gravel pit near Kama Bay hill, served somewhat the same purpose - to illustrate the bedding and distribution of grain sizes. At Kama Hill a number of geomorphological features were pointed out to us. They included the following: a large anticlinal fold; interbedded mudstone and sandstone; small lenticular or discontinuous diabase sills; a chert horizon, with fine lamination of interbedded carbonate and anthraxolite massive mudstone; purple shale; and a thick diabase cap rock. ; After these observations we moved on to scrutinize a deposit of red sedimentary rocks that had been intruded by a diabase sill. This sill had penetrated down through the sedimentary rocks into the Archean basement. We made our next stop in the region around Red Rock, and saw several outcrops of Sibley rocks, followed by a region of granite outcrops. The next point of interest was a quarry composed of black Rove shale overlying a Gunflint formation. Embedded within the Rove shale were large, irregular carbonate concretions, possibly of organic origin. The final stop of this trip brought us to an exposed basal unit of the Sibley group which is comprised of polymictic conglomerates. Here also was exhibited a well-defined contact zone between the conglomerate and sandstone. On the second field trip we headed south to the United States border. A range of eroded mountains known as the "Norwesters", which includes Mount MacKay, follows the east side of the highway. The cuestas are composed of black shale (Rove formation) with a diabase cap. As we proceeded southward, the topography changed to one of more rugged relief which is related to the bedrock geological changes. The Great Lakes Nickel Company exploration project was the first stop on this trip. Our group climbed up to the adit, which was constructed by the company into the sulphide zone, to investigate the rocks in and near the adit. After stripping the adit of most of the available chalcopyrite outcrops, we returned to the bus. On our next stop at the Middle Falls Campground on the Pigeon River, we were mainly concerned with the diabase dyke which cut across the region and gave rise to the falls. The dyke crossed the highway to where it cut into a Rove shale formation; the contact zone between the dyke and the shale was closely observed. Also, the same carbonate mineral concretions evident at the Rove shale quarry mentioned before were evident here. Our last stop was at the end of Memory Lookout Road. At the lookout it was pointed out that we were standing on a dyke which could be visually followed (intermittently) to the south, as it stands up above the surrounding country rock in that area. Two other dykes could also be observed which ran parallel to the dyke on which we were standing. The significance of these field trips was not fully realized until such time in the academic year when some of the processes involved in the formation of these geomorphological features were comprehended. 56 ��Report on Field Trip to Study Soifie Features of the Coldwell Alkali Complex 1 Sept. Sth-llth, 1970 by Pat Fung Party: Director: Dr. H. Loubat Members: 3rd year students, Lakehead University A. Chan, P. Fung, J. Kasarda, B. Paske, J. Scott Our field trip was intended to study some interesting features of tte Coldwell Alkali complex. The main stops we made, together with a general geological map of the area, are given in the map below. This complex was intruded into the Archean Greenstone belt in Keeweenawan time (+1065 m.y. to 1225 m.y.). At stop 4 the gabbro of the complex comes into gradual contact with the impure arkose of the Greenstone belt, forming a contact metamorphic aureole of gneiss. At some places lenses and veins of quartz, aplite and calcite, with pockets of syenite were found in the gabbro; and in some outcrops, magmatic bandings in the gabbro were seen. These features indicate an intrusion of a mainly gabbroic magma with local varieties and perhaps a later intrusion of syenite. The contact at stop 9 was much simpler. Walking east we passed from highly metamorphosed (granulite facies?) we ll-bedded claystone, through lenses and veinlets of syenite which increased in content until, through a few tens of metres, it was pure syenite. 58 �For exIn several outcrops we saw xenoiiths of different sizes and composition, mainly basalt. ample, at stop 2, just off the highway, was a large xenolith of basalt, and at stops 3 and 4 there were xenoiiths of basalt and breccia in the syenite. Most of them showed evidence of slow sinking. F. Puskas suggested that these were from the Coubran Lake volcanic cap and that the intrusion was a lopolith where the present level of exposure is near roof. The consistent fracture and shear zones For instance, at stop 4 there was a domelike might also expose some interesting structures. structure with pre-Coldwell rock sheared and fractured on top of the Coldwell gabbro. Also, at stop 9 near the western margin of the complex, there were two main directions of fracture - one vertical and one horizontal in the south-east direction. The rocks in the complex show complicated structural and age relationships as well as diversified composition. The oldest was the gabbro, followed by laurvakite, syenite and related rocks. But at stop 4, within a few feet the gabbro changed in composition from common to leucocratic gabbro due This change might be due to the interaction of syenite with to an increase in acidic content. gabbro (hybridisation). The laurvakite also shows variations in composition - at stop 1 it was much altered, with plenty of quartz, calcite and pegmatite veins. The laurvakite is also rich in olivine in molybdenite, and native Mo., but in areas such as stop 8 it is very fresh and approaches In stops the composition of a syenite. Most impressive of all are the variations in the syenite. At stop 2 2 and 8, the feldspars are very pinkish, probably rich in hematite due to alteration. it was intruded by the rhombopyre dyke near the Bamoos Radio Station, implying an older age relative to the rhombopyre dyke. At these stops, the syenite shows an intersertal texture of the potassium feldspars in a matrix of mainly mafic minerals, with evidence of agpaiitic sequence of crystallization. The syenite is much altered whereas the rhombopyre is rather fresh. At stop 4 we actually saw some xenoiiths of syenite in the gabbro, but at stop 5 the nephelene was very prevalent in the syenite, which is rather fresh with alteration only of nephelene to zeolite. Finally at stop 5 » on our way down the railway road near Port Coldwell, we saw the fresh nephelene syenite dying out into the altered, pinkish normal type of syenite - and yet at stop 7 two series of syenite veins cut each other, in diabase. These observations imply that the intrusion is not as simple as F. Puskas has anticipated. It can only be explained by the occurrence of multi-stage crystallization and local variation in the order of crystallization. Generally, the main part of gabbro crystallized out first, then the normal syenite which became altered either before or during the intrusion of the rhombopyre dyke, followed by the intrusion of the syenite by the dyke. A second and significant portion of syenite rich in nephelene crystallized out, breaking up some older syenite and the rhombopyre dyke. Somewhere another, but insignificant, portion of gabbro crystallized out and engulfed some of the older syenite. The laurvakite generally fits into the pattern after the crystallization of the first portion of gabbro, but another part might have formed later - or the change in composition and amount of alteration can be attributed to local magmatic differentiation and environment alone. Ae seen at stops 1 and 5» the pegmatites and others in various rock types were always of late origin. They usually occurred in veinlets of the parent rocks and showed similar mineralogy, but their grain size and composition altered relative to the distance from contact. For example, the pegmatite at stop 6 can be attributed to the late magmatic portion of magma rich in volatiles, crystallized in fractures in the already solid rock. Since the whole complex is generally rich in rare minerals and elements, it might be interesting to do a chemical analysis of these pegmatites. There are also some features of geochemical interest, one being the agpaiitic sequence of crystallization in the altered intersertal syenite. Another is the interaction among various rock types To mention evident in the xenoiiths and surrounding rocks, and the contact between various veins. a few, the xenoiiths of gabbro in syenite (stop 7)» remained fresh and retained sharp boundaries; the rhombopyres and breccia at the same stop showed similar features. But several hundred feet away, the two series of syenite veins in the so-called nephelene syenite veins showed where they cross-cut each other in a complete fusion of their contact. This can be explained by the similarities and differences in the composition of the host and foreign material. When syenite veins meet and cut each other, it is not hard chemically for solution and recrystallization near the contact, whereas the reaction between a gabbro and a syenite is much more difficult, if not impossible. The alteration in nephelene syenite to colourful zeolite might be worth studying too. Mineralization occurred in several places. Common ores such as pyrrhotite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and iron oxides were seen in many outcrops in small amounts. But at stop 1 the molybdenite associated with laurvakite is rather rare. Further study might reveal yet other interesting elements and minerals such as titanium. At stop 8 large amounts of magnetite were seen either in nearly pure forms or injected into the surrounding rocks such as syenite and gabbro. 59 �Besides the rhombopyre dykes mentioned above, there are several dykes cutting the complex. At stop 3 two vertical dykes cut the syenite. These and the one at stop 7 were diabasic and might be related to the Keeweenawan extrusives in Central Canada. Also at stop 8 there were several series of high angle dykes of olivine-basalt in various host rocks. These and other structures, such as the sill of basalt at stop 6 might be the equivalent of Animekie extrusives, but further study is necessary to substantiate this. One way to do this is by radiometric dating and the initial 87Sn/86Sn ratio which should be the same for all co-magmatic rocks. These and other studies might reveal the relationship of these structures to the other regional phenomena, such as the dykes which might be feeders to the regional Keeweenawan extrusives. The rocks in the complex itself are very interesting and spectacular in their variety, texture, rare minerals and elements, and in the sequence of crystallization. Economically the potential of nephelene syenite and laurvakite for construction material, and the other rare elements might be worth investigating. Further study may contribute to the understanding of pre-Cambrian stratigraphy in the Canadian Shield or even in the crust. Subsequent Field Trips 1 . Sibley Penninsuia field trip 2.

These are a multitude of reasons why the long view of the world is a way of life at Texas Gulf Sulphur Company. Even without the children, a company which has been in developing natural resources over several generations would emphasize long-range planning, thinking in terms not just of five or ten years ahead, but 20, 50 and 100 years. A major mine with its processing and related facilities successful must be viable for at least two decades rf it is to be rewarding to stockholders, employees and the community. Executives of natural resources companies learn to contemplate the prospects for developing natural resources for their children and children’s children; the materials for continued growth in the developed regions of the earth; the requirements for eradicating poverty, disease and starvation in less privileged parts of the globe and the wherewithal for them on the way to fuller development. They must think of how these things may be done setting without disturbing man’s environment in unacceptable ways. The long view is a way of life for us.
