PREFACE
The Mining, Metallurgical and Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics issues
three reports a year on the Mineral Production of Canada. The first is a preliminary estimate,
which is published in mimeograph form on the first day of January following the year to which it
refers. During the second week of March a preliminary printed report, containing more complete
figures and in greater detail, is issued. When all returns have been received the final compilation
is made and the results are presented in this report. In addition to statistics of production and
external trade this report contains information on capital employed, number of employees,
salaries and wages, fuel and electricity used by the mining industry, power equipment installed
and other related data. Reviews covering the highlights in the industry during the year, new
developments in the various mining districts of the country and such other information which
may be of present interest and later of historical value are recorded.
It has been the custom for years to include world tables of Mineral Production in order to
assist those who may be making international studies of production and who may not have a good
reference library readily at hand. Owing to the outbreak of war in September, 1939, world
figures in that year are not as complete as formerly, but world tables for 1938 with the available
figures for 1939 have been included. These tables are taken from the Annual Statistical Summary
of the Mineral Industry of the British Empire and Foreign Countries which is published by the
Imperial Institute in London and their use here is gratefully acknowledged.
Anyone requiring information on the mineral production of Canada during earlier years is
referred to the Annual Report for 1937, which contains historical tables for each metal or mineral
for the Dominion, and to the 1938 report for corresponding data by provinces.
As in previous years, the Bureau co-operated with the Mines Departments of the provinces
of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia,
in the collection of these statistics. Forms are filled out in duplicate, thereby saving the operator
extra work and resulting in uniform totals for the provincial and Dominion statistical bureaux.
The thanks of the Bureau are tendered to the mine and smelter operators for assistance given
and information made available. Railway and other transportation companies as well as smelter
operators outside of Canada have also furnished data, the receipt of which is gratefully acknowl-
edged.
The report has been prepared under the direction of Mr. W. H. Losee, B.Sc., F.C.1.C., Chief
of the Mining, Metallurigcal and Chemical Branch, by Mr. R. J. McDowall, B.Se., and Mr.
B. R. Hayden, of the Mineral Division staff.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA
DURING THE CALENDAR YEAR 1939
CHAPTER ONE
Canadian mineral production in 1939 totalled $474,602,059 compared with a corresponding

total of $441,823,237 in the preceding year. This represents an increase of 7-4 per cent and reflects
the almost general expansion in production and new development recently experienced throughout
the entire industry. The value of the 1939 output was the highest ever recorded in the history of
Canadian mining. Distinct increases over 1938 were realized by all the major divisions of the
industry. The value of metals and metallic ores amounted to $348,506,123 as compared with
$323,075,154 in 1938. Coal, petroleum and other fuels totalled $70,671,328 against $64,803,294;
asbestos, gypsum and other industrial minerals were valued at $25,061,849, an increase of
$4,995,726, while clay products, cement, stone and other structural materials increased from
$33,878,666 in 1988 to a total of $35,362,759.
In order of the value of their production, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia were the
‘leading mineral producing provinces in 1939. The values of these particular outputs were,
respectively, $232,519,948; $77,335,998 and $65,216,745. Production in Nova Scotia totalled
$30,746,200; Alberta, $30,691,617; Manitoba $17,137,930; Saskatchewan, $8,794,090; Yukon,
$4,961,321; New Brunswick, $3,929,433 and Northwest Territories, $3,248,777.
Outstanding contributors of mineral wealth in the Dominion during 1939 were the gold mines
and base metal mines. Canadian gold production during the year under review reached an all-
time high peak of 5,094,379 fine ounces valued at $184,115,951. The great and rapid increase in
gold production and its relatively great economic importance both to the mining industry as a
whole and to the nation is emphasized in a comparison of its 1939 value with the value of Canada’s
entire mineral output in 1922, which tota!!ed $184,297,242 in that particular year.
Based on preliminary statistics of world production, Canada probably ranked second as a

gold producing country in 1939. High production records in base metals were established in
1939 for copper, nickel and zinc, the combined values of which aggregated $111,855,164. Lead
output at 388,569,550 pounds and $12,313,768 represented a decrease from the preceding year’s
production of 418,927,660 pounds at $14,008,941. In 1939, for the first time in several years, the
commercial production of iron ore was reported; this came from the New Helen mine in the
Michipicoten district of Ontario. Other interesting developments in the metal mining industries
included the production of tungsten concentrates in British Columbia and the opening up of an
important mercury deposit at Pinchi Lake in the same province.
The fuel industries were featured in 1939 by a continued and important increase in the pro-
duction of petroleum, chiefly from Alberta wells. Coal production increased 8-7 per cent over the
1938 output. Increases were recorded in all coal producing provinces excepting Saskatchewan
and Manitoba. Natural gas output wasarecord. The total value of all fuels produced amounted
to $70,671,328, an increase of 9-1 per cent when compared with the preceding year.

6 DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS
Among the more important industrial minerals, asbestos production marked an increase of
25-8 per cent over 1938; output totalled 364,472 tons valued at $15,859,212. Other outstanding
minerals in this group showing increases included gypsum, mica, sulphur and sodium sulphate.
Brick and other clay products were appraised at $5,151,236, an encouraging increase from
$4,536,084 in 1938. Other structural materials to show increases over the preceding year were
cement, stone and lime.
An outstanding event in Canada’s Mining History was an agreement made in 1939 by the
large base metal producers and the Imperial Government by which the producers were to supply
the Imperial Government with copper, lead and zinc at prices which prevailed shortly before the
outbreak of the war. Canada can now furnish large quantities of these metals in the refined
form, whereas in 1914 no refined copper, nickel or zinc and only a comparatively small amount of
refined lead were produced in this country.
The trend in mining employment as a whole was upward in nine months of 1939, when it was
in rather greater volume than in 1938, the previous maximum for this record; the annual index
was 163-8, compared with 155-9 in the preceding year.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA 7
In coal mining, the index averaged 89-3, or practically the same as the 1938 figure of 90-4.
The labour force of the 104 co-operating operators included 24,384 workers in 1939, as against a
mean of 24,580 men employed in the 104 mines in the preceding year. The working time lost in
industrial dispute in this industry was decidedly greater in 1939 than in 19388.
Employment in the extraction of metallic ores generally was greater than in 1938, or any
other year for which statistics are available; the annual index, at 343-1, was 25-3 points above
the average of 317-8 in the preceding twelve months. The index varied from 325-2 at January 1,
to 354-4 at December 1, showing almost uninterrupted improvement during this period. The
staffs of the 233 reporting firms averaged 42,548 during the year under review, compared with
38,903 in 218 mines during 1938. World monetary conditions, together with the war-time
demand for Canadian metallic ores, resulted in exceptionally great activity in this division.
Non-metallic minerals, (other than coal), afforded more employment in 1939 than in 1938 or
any other year since 1929. The index averaged 135-7, or 7-4 per cent above the 1988 figure of
126-3. An average payroll of 9,052 persons was employed during 1939 by the 102 co-operating
firms, while those reporting in the preceding year had a mean of 8,548. Quarries and other
divisions coming under this heading recorded a rather better situation.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE, 1939
(Internal Trade Branch)
Foreign exchange trading, outside of the United States, was subject to a marked increase in
official control in 1939. Soon after the outbreak of hostilities in September, belligerents took
action to safeguard the position of their currencies and foreign exchange reserves.
From the beginning of the year until the latter part of August, sterling rates at Montreal
held comparatively steady at approximately $4.69, being supported intermittently by the British
Exchange Equalization Fund. Following withdrawal of this support sterling rates dropped to a
1939 low of $4-1966 on September 14. Various restrictive measures were imposed by the British
Treasury at this time. Rediscount rates were raised from 2 to 4 per cent by the Bank of England
and limitations were placed on capital exports. Bar gold at London advanced from around
148s. 6d. in August to 168s. per fine ounce on September 5, the latter figure being a fixed buying
price set by the Bank of England. About the middle of the month official sterling buying and
selling rates of $4.02-$4.06 were set for New York funds. At the same time the Bank of England
transferred practically its entire gold reserves amounting to approximately £280 millions to the
Exchange Equalization Fund. On September 18, with the formation of the Canadian Foreign
Exchange Control Board, sterling buying and selling rates at Montreal were set at $4.43-$4.47
while at New York rates were revised by the Bank of England to $4.02-$4.04. Rates on United
States funds were set by the Canadian Foreign Exchange Control Board at $1.10 buying and
$1.11 selling on the same date. These rates remained unchanged for the balance of the year.
Prior to their establishment United States funds, which had been ruling at par in August, moved
up to a 1939 peak premium of 114 per cent on September 15. This compared with a premium of 7
of one per cent at the beginning of the year. During the last three and one-half months of 1939,
free market rates at New York for sterling generally fluctuated at levels considerably below the
official rate. A low of $3.82 4 was touched on September 18 while a peak of $4.05 + occurred on
October 4. Generally, however, free rates averaged about 10 cents below the lower official limit.
During the same period Canadian funds at New York moved between a high of 91 cents on
September 20 and a low of 86 cents on November 22. French francs remained linked to sterling
throughout the year and reflected sterling movements. Repatriation of French gold and securities
during 1939 was substantial and brought Bank of France gold reserves (measured in metric tons)
to their highest level in history. Quotations on the French frane at Montreal closed the year at
2-50 cents compared with a low of 2-34 cents on September 18 and an opening level of 2-64 cents.
A noteworthy event in connection with the sterling-franc relationship was the announcement
on December 12 that the Governments of the United Kingdom and France had signed a financial
-agreement which stabilized Anglo-French currencies at the rate of 1763 francs to the £ sterling
until six months after the signature of a peace treaty.

PRICE MOVEMENTS, CANADA, 1939
The course of commodity prices in 1939 was unusually even until the middle of August.
Two weeks prior to the outbreak of war, markets turned upward and basic commodities advanced
steadily for seven weeks, carrying the general level of wholesale prices 8-5 per cent higher. Early
in October, markets tended to level off, but wholesale price indexes continued to edge gradually
upward until the beginning of December. Then, led by grains, commodities again recorded
fairly broad advances.
The net advance in the general wholesale price level for 1939 was 11-5 per cent, while the
increase from the year’s low in August amounted to 12-8 per cent. In the retail price field, only
foods and a few clothing items showed an early response to the September rise in wholsesale market.
Advances became more general, however, for clothing and household needs during November and
December. The December cost of living index was 3-0 per cent higher than that for August and
2-3 per cent above the level of December, 1938. As the year closed, both wholesale and retail
price levels were above 1988 averages. The latter have been edging irregularly upward since
1933, but December 1939 wholesale price levels were still appreciably below their 1937 peak.
Both groups remained substantially below pre-depression levels of 1929.
From January to August 1939, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics’ index number of general
wholesale prices fluctuated narrowly between 73-7 and 72-4. Then from the latter level in
August it Jumped to 78-2.in September, and thereafter mounted more gradually to 82-2 in the
final week of December. The net advance of 11-5 per cent during 1939 in the general index
compared with the following percentage increases in component groups: Vegetable products
19-2, Animal Products 11-5, Textiles 23-3, Wood Products 11-7, Iron and Its Products 4-0,
Non-Ferrous Metals 5-3, Non-Metallic Minerals 0-2, and Chemicals 9-5. Net price increases for
the year for individual commodities were with few exceptions less than 25 per cent. Increases
exceeding this amount, however, were recorded for raw silk, wool, grains, rubber, leather, ground-
wood pulp and tin. Advances ranging from 10 to 25 per cent included cattle, granulated sugar,
cheese and pig iron, while copper and gasolene moved up less than 10 per cent. Steel bars,
bituminous coal and sulphuric acid showed no change, while hogs, eggs, and anthracite coal were
slightly lower.

Table 6.—Annual Values of the Mineral Production of Canada since 1886

Nore.—In presenting a total valuation of the mineral production as is here given, it should be explained that the pro-
duction of the metals, copper, gold, lead, nickel, silver, zinc, etc., is given as far as possible on the basis of the quantities
of metals recovered in smelters, and the total quantities in each case are valued chiefly at the average market price of the
refined metal in a recognized market. There is thus included in some cases the values that have accrued in the smelting
or refining of metals outside of Canada.

(c) T ‘he value of fuel, purchased electricity and process supplies used was deducted from the gross value of shipments
for the first time in 1935; this was done in order to attain a more accurate approximation of a net value. Also the cost of
ores, etc., treated in non- ferrous metallurgical plants is deducted in determining the figure ‘‘value added’’; these costs were
as follows: 1935, $108,081,299; 1936, $137,857,482, 19387, $191,303,251; 1938, $173,070,377; 1939, $154,879,498. (d) The cost of
freight and treatment charges was deducted by the shipper of metal bearing ores for all years prior to 1937; in 1937, 1938
and 1939 the cost of freight and treatment charges was reported separately and deducted at the Bureau of Statistics.
_ __Nore.—The net value as given in column 8 represents the gross value as given by the operator less the cost of items

CHAPTER TWO
THE GOLD MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA
Including—(a) The Alluvial Gold Mining Industry; (b) The Auriferous Quartz Mining Industry,
(c) The Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry; (d) Miscellaneous Data on Monetary Gold
and World Gold Production, Prices, Exchange, etc.
Definition of the Industry.—Gold mining in Canada is classified into three principal

industries—(a) the recovery of gold from the gravels and sands of stream channels or beaches
or what is defined as ‘The Alluvial Gold Mining Industry’’; (b) the recovery of lode gold, which
is named “The Auriferous Quartz Mining Industry” and in which industry the gold is usually
the most important economic constituent of the ores mined and quartz the predominant gangue
mineral; (c) gold is often found in various other mineral deposits, more particularly in those of
copper, and for this reason the review of Canada’s “Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry” is
included here to complete a more comprehensive survey of the Canadian Gold Mining Industry.
Order in Council P.C. 598—Februray 12, 1940
WHEREAS subsection one of section twenty-five of the Bank of Canada Act, Chapter forty-
three of the Statutes of Canada, 1934, provides that the Bank shall sell gold to any person who
makes demand therefor at the head office of the Bank and tenders the purchase price in legal
tender, but only in the form of bars containing approximately four hundred ounces of fine gold;
Anp Wuermas by Order in Council P.C. 476, dated March 3, 1939, passed under the pro-
visions of subsection two of said section twenty-five of the said Act, the operation of said sub-
section one of section twenty-five was suspended for a period of one year from and after March 10,
1939.
Now, Tuererore, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation
of the Minister of Finance and under the provisions of said subsection two of section twenty-five
of the Bank of Canada Act is pleased to order that the operation of said subsection one of section
twenty-five be and it is hereby suspended for a further period of one year from and after the
tenth day of March, 1940, unless sooner rescinded by Order in Council.
Income Tax Exemption to New Mines
With a view to stimulating exploration and development of mineral resources in Canada,

certain exemptions from income tax are granted to new or re-opened mines coming into production.
An amendment to the Income Tax Act, made in May, 1936, provides that any metalliferous mine
coming into production between May 1, 1936, and January 1, 1940, Shall be exempt from income
tax for its first three fiscal periods following the commencement of production. The Minister of
National Revenue, having regard to the production of ore in reasonable commercial quantities,
shall determine which mines, whether new or old, qualify for this exemption, and a certificate will
be issued accordingly. General regulations covering depletion allowance to precious metal mines
are unchanged from the previous year and remain on the basis of 333 per cent for mining companies,
with the allowance in the case of dividends received by shareholders standing at 20 per cent.
In the 1939 session of Parliament an amendment to the Income Tax Act extended for a further
three years the qualifying period for the above three-year exemption from January 1, 1940, to
January 1, 1943. Provision was also made for an exemption from tax in respect of dividends
paid to a company incorporated in Canada by a company which has never paid a tax by reason
of the above three-year exemption. It might be explained that under the Income Tax Act a
corporation is exempt from tax on dividends received from another corporation if the paying
corporation has already paid corporation income tax on its earnings. This is to avoid double
taxation of corporate earnings. It is seen, therefore, that but for the exempting amendment here
mentioned a receiving corporation would automatically lose the exemption (which it would other-
wise enjoy) through the fact that the paying corporation had received the three-year exemption
accorded to new mines and thus the purpose of the Government in allowing the three-year exemp-
tion would be defeated.
The above mentioned three-year exemption from income tax has been and is available only
to new or reopened mines. The 1939 income tax amendments, however, now offer an important
and far reaching tax credit to the mining industry as a whole under provisions which are applicable
generally to all taxpayers. Briefly stated, the new provisions offer a credit against income tax
up to 10 per cent of any capital expenditure undertaken by the taxpayer in the period May 1, 1939
to April 30, 1940, the credit to be taken in three equal annual instalments.
The act to amend the Income War Tax Act assented to on September 13, 1939 was further
amended in the 1940 Spring Session of Parliament.
In 1940 under the Excess Profits Tax Act a tax of seventy-five per centum was levied upon
the annual excess profits derived from carrying on business in Canada. As an alternative, a
minimum tax of twelve per centum is levied upon the total annual profits. The larger of the two
taxes is to be paid.
Excess profits are the difference between the profits of the taxation year and the profits of the
standard period being the four years 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939, or fiscal periods ending therein.
Provision is made for adjustment of the standard profits by the Minister to have regard to
changes in the length of fiscal periods, to have regard to increases or decreases in the capital
employed in the business, or in the case of gold mines and oil wells, to have regard to increases or
decreases in the volume of production.

Norg.—Order in Council P.C. 1150, reads, in part, as follows—‘‘The export of gold, whether in the
advisable
(including ore, etc.), from the Dominion of Canada, is hereby prohibited, except in such cases as may be deemed
by the Minister of Finance, and under licence to be issued by him. . . yar
GOLD IN CANADIAN EXPORT TRADE
Exports of gold in Canadian trade statistics were distinguished in previous reports as between
monetary and non-monetary. Monetary gold exports were described as those which entailed a
reduction in the Dominion’s monetary gold stocks. All other gold exported (classed as non-
monetary) were shown as merchandise, and included with the total merchandise exports.
The fact that gold is a money metal gives it peculiar attributes which distinguish it from other
commodities in trade. In particular, the movement of gold in international trade is determined
almost exclusively by monetary factors. The amount of exports may fluctuate widely from month
to month owing to other than ordinary trade or commercial considerations. In addition, gold is
generally acceptable. It does not have to surmount tariff barriers and is normally assured a
market at a relatively fixed price. For these reasons provision was made in previous trade reports
for a supplementary table showing exports from Canada excluding all gold.
It is further to be noted gold does not move in international trade in any direct or normal
relation to sales and purchases. It may be bought or sold abroad without moving in or out
across the frontier, the sales or purchases in such cases being recognized by simply getting aside
or “earmarking” the gold in the vaults of the central bank. Trade statistics deal only with physical
movements, sales or purchases of gold which do not involve an actual movement, being more
properly regarded as an “invisible item’ and taken care of in the “International Balance of
Payments” statements. Changes in the Bank of Canada’s stock of gold under earmark do not
enter, therefore, into the trade statistics.
The publication of statistics showing the gross imports and exports of gold has been tem-
porarily suspended as from September, 1939. Statistics for periods prior to this time have been
accordingly revised to exclude all gold formerly included in the total of merchandise exports.
Statistics showing the net exports of non-monetary gold, including changes in stocks held
under earmark, are published as a supplement to the trade figures, and are given below.

Nore.—At December 29th, 1939, the price paid by the United States Treasury for gold purchased
by the Mint continued
at $35 per troy ounce of fine gold, less } of 1 per cent. Actual payment by the United States
Treasury for gold in imported
and domestic ore or concentrate was at 99-75 per cent of the price quoted by the Treasury,
which, at the close of 1939, was
equal to $34-9125 per ounce.

ROYAL CANADIAN MINT
The Ottawa Mint, established as a branch of the Royal Mint under the (Imperial) Coinage
Act, 1870, and opened up on January 2, 1908, was by 21-22 Geo. V, C.48, constituted a branch of
the Department of Finance and since December 1, 1931, has operated as the Royal Canadian
Mint. The great development of the gold mining industry in Canada has resulted in gold re-
fining becoming one of the principal activities of the Mint. Gold coins have never been a popular
medium of exchange in Canada and have not been struck since 1919, most of the fine gold produced
from the rough shipments from the mines being delivered to the Department of Finance in the
form of bars, the rest being sold in convenient form to manufacturers.
The domestic gold currency of Canada, as at present authorized by the Currency Act, consists
of $20, $10, $5 and $24 gold pieces, 900 millesimal fineness (only $10 and $5 have been issued).
Gold was used only to an insignificant extent as a circulating medium in Canada, its monetary use
being practically confined to reserves; $5 and $10 gold pieces weighing respectively 129 and 258
grains, xoths pure gold by weight, have been coined, the Canadian gold dollar thus containing
23-22 grains of pure gold. The $5, $10 and $20 gold coins of the United States, which contain
exactly the same weight of gold as Canadian Gold coins of these denominations, are legal tender
for their face value only, as are the British sovereigns, which are legal tender for $4.863, their
equivalent in Canadian gold dollars.
The regulations in part for the receipt of gold bullion at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa,
are as follows:—Each parcel of bullion for which a separate assay is required shall be regarded as a
separate deposit, and no ingot exceeding 1,500 ounces troy, gross weight, will be accepted. All
deposits shall be dealt with in the order in which they are received. Deposits containing, by
assay, less than 200 parts of gold in 1,000, or appearing, either before or after melting and assaying,
to be unsuitable for treatment by the refining process in use, may be rejected. A deposit so
rejected shall be returned to the depositor on payment by him of any costs incurred for melting
and assaying.
The Mint charges, to be calculated on the gross weight of the deposit after melting, shall be
as follows:—
(a) For melting and assaying—one dollar for the first four hundred ounces or part thereof
and twenty-five cents for each additional one hundred ounces or part thereof.
(b) For refining—when the deposit contains not more than 5 per cent base metal, 3 cents
the ounce. Over 5 per cent but not over 10 per cent base metal, 33 cents the ounce. Over
10 per cent but not over 15 per cent base metal, 4} cents the ounce. Over 15 per cent but
not over 20 per cent base metal, 5 cents the ounce. On deposits which contain over 20 per
cent base metal, or which require other treatment, a charge not exceeding 10 cents the ounce,
to be determined by the cost of treatment.
The minimum charge for refining shall be two dollars for each deposit and the charge
for
refining shall apply to all deposits containing by assay less than 995 parts fine gold
in 1,000.
An additional handling charge at the rate of 35 cents the ounce fine, to cover costs of realiza-
tion in a market outside Canada, shall be made on all newly mined Canadian gold
deposited with
the Mint, and this charge shall be increased to $1.00 the ounce fine on all other gold accepted
asa
deposit.
The gross value of gold deposited for sale with the Royal Canadian Mint or the Dominion
of
Canada Assay Office, Vancouver, shall be the market price of gold in the country to which
the
Government is at the time of the receipt of the deposit exporting gold, converted into Canadian
funds at the average of the buying rates of exchange of that country reported to the Department
of Finance by the Bank of Canada at 11 a.m. daily during the week in which the
gold is deposited
with the Mint or Assay Office.
In addition to newly-mined Canadian gold there may be accepted at the Mint
gold (over
1 ounce troy—fine) in the following forms: old jewellery and dental scrap, provided
it has not
been melted or otherwise treated in any way to prevent its origin being readily recognized;
scrap
from manufacturers and refiners the result of processes carried out by them in
the ordinary course
of their business; gold coin which when of full weight and fineness, is not legal tender
in Canada.
Satisfactory evidence as to the origin of the gold shall be furnished by the depositor
if required.
Delivery of deposits shall be accepted at the Mint counter only, free of all charges,
and when
bullion is forwarded by mail or express the original packages will not ordinarily
be opened until
an invoice of the description and weight of their several contents has been received.
When there
is a serious discrepancy between the actual and invoice weights of any deposit,
further action in
regard to it will be deferred pending communication with depositor.
The gross value of a deposit shall be calculated at a rate of one dollar for
each 23-22 grains
fine gold contained therein (equivalent to $20-6718 } the ounce fine) and at a
rate for all silver in
excess of one per centum of the weight of the deposit after melting to be determined
by the Minister
of Finance. The rate to be paid, under Clause 4 of the regulations, for silver in excess
of one per
centum of the weight of deposits received in any week, shall be one cent below
the average for that
week of the daily New York quotation for fine silver, from Monday to Friday,
inclusive, converted
into the equivalent in Canadian funds at the average of the daily rate
of exchange between
Montreal and New York, calculated to the nearest one-eighth of a cent.

Norz.—It is understood that material amounts of gold are not reported by several countries, such as, amounts held in
secret funds for stabilizing currencies and those hoarded or held outside of regularly reported stocks.
THE ALLUVIAL GOLD MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA
At the present time the greater part of the Canadian production of alluvial gold comes from
the Yukon Territory and British Columbia; relatively small quantities are also obtained in Alberta,
Saskatchewan and Quebec.
It was estimated that 157,270 ounces of crude gold were recovered from Canadian alluvial
deposits in 1939. Of this production, 84 ounces came from Saskatchewan, 475 ounces from Alberta
49,746 ounces from British Columbia, and 106,965 ounces from the Yukon.
Quebec .—On the Embergold Mines claims, in Ditton Township, work had not been resumed
on June 8, but a new compressed-air hoist had been set up at the shaft. In Beauce, prospecting
of alluvial deposits on the Famine and Plants rivers was carried on by Geo. A. Dion. Moe River
Gold Mines was organized during the year to work some placer deposits on the Salmon River in
Compton Township; work conducted by this Company included trenching, stripping and camp
construction. There were no recoveries of gold from Quebec alluvial deposits officially reported
during 1939.
New Brunswick.—Free gold was discovered at Taylor’s Island on the shore of the Bay of
Fundy about four miles west of Saint John city. A small “gold rush” developed in 1939 and the
Department of Lands and Mines of New Brunswick was asked to examine the deposits as to their
economic possibilities. The gold was discovered on the beach at the foot of a 35 foot gravel
cliff, between the levels of high and mid-tide. It is associated with fine-grained black sand and
samples were tested in the laboratories of the Mines Branch, Ottawa. It appears that the im-
mediate source of the gold is a 4 inch bed of pleistocene sand at the level of high tide and that it
is spread over the beach by wave action. No official reports of commercial production of gold
from this deposit were recorded in 1939.
Saskatchewan and Alberta.—“Placer gold has been mined along the North Saskatchewan
River at various points between Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, and Prince Albert, Saskat-
chewan, from about 1860. Most activivy has, however, been confined to the Alberta region,
particularly in the vicinity of Edmonton.”
“The returns of gold from the river for a period of thirty-two years, from 1887 to 1918, are
given by the Department of Mines as 15,036 fine ounces valued at $310,814. These figures were
compiled by the Department from reports of local bank managers as a basis. In 1887 the first
dredge was built on the river and from that time dredges have worked with varying success,
though most of the gold has been obtained by miners working with shovel and grizzly collecting
the gold on blankets, after which the blankets are washed and the gold separated from the tailings
by means of mercury
“The gold is irregularly distributed in the gravels of the river and under bench gravels...”
(Department of Natural Resources, Regina, Sask.)
“A grant for placer mining on the bank of the Peace River was again renewed and a new grant
and a renewal were issued covering claims on the bank of the Athabaska River. Nine ounces of
gold were reported extracted during the year. Two new dredging leases were issued on the Mc-
Leod river covering nine and one-half miles. No dredging operations, however, were conducted
in the province during the year ending March 31, 1939”. (Annual Report, Alberta Department
of Lands and Mines).
British Columbia.—It has been found impractical to obtain complete reports for each
individual placer gold mining operation in British Columbia in as much as a considerable quantity
of the crude placer gold is recovered annually by prospectors of no fixed abode who, in many
instances, market their recoveries through local merchants and banks.
In 1939 official returns were made to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics by approximately
89 operators who reported 543 employees and the distribution of $511,773 in salaries and wages.
Consumption of fuel and process supplies amounted to $75,306. The value of crude gold pro-
duction was $1,454,573 compared with $1,671,015 in 1938.
A decrease in the production of placer gold in British Columbia during 1939 had been anti-
cipated, the Consolidated Gold Alluvials at Wingdam being inoperative with the exception of
individuals being allowed to conduct leasing operations on portions of the company ground. In
Atlin Mining Division operations were practically normal, and in the Stikine area increased
activity was noted, principally on ground held by Boulder Creek Mines Ltd. Messrs. Peter
Jorgensen, Jack Wheaton and D. L. Wing also continued operations. Cariboo and Quesnel areas
were active and production was about the same in the aggregate. Omineca division and par-
ticularly in the Manson Creek area saw a fair production but much work and construction was done
with the object of preparing for increased production in the 1939 season.
The Alberni Gold Mining Company is reported to have a program outlined of testing beach
sands on sections of the west coast of Vancouver Island. (Philip B. Freeland).
Northwest Territories.—The mining recorder at Fort Smith reported that little activity
occurred in placer mining in the Northwest Territories during the year. Twenty-one extensions
were granted on placer claims in the Nahanni District.
Yukon (G. A. Jeckell, Controller, Yukon Territory).—The amount of placer gold mined
during the year ending March 31, 1940, in the Territory on which Royalty Export Tax was paid
was 108,077-89 ounces, produced as follows: Dawson District, 105,980-98 ounces; Mayo District,
1,221 ounces; and Whitehorse District 875-91 ounces. The royalty collected was $40,529.58.
The gold production was 17,483 -34 ounces more than for the previous.year.
In the Dawson District ninety-six new placer location grants, seventy-seven relocation
grants, and two thousand three hundred and twenty-nine renewal grants were issued, representing
two thousand five hundred and two claims in good standing. Three dredging leases were renewed
covering twenty-three miles, and fees for six renewals of hydraulic leases were paid.
In the Mayo District four new placer location grants, seventeen relocation grants, and eighty-
two renewal grants were issued, making one hundred and three placer claims in good standing.
In the Whitehorse District five new placer location grants, three relocation grants and thirty-
one renewal grants were issued, making thirty-nine claims in good standing. |
The total number of placer claims in good standing for the whole Territory was two thousand
six hundred and forty-four.
The Yukon Consolidated Gold Corp’n. Limited maintained in good standing all property
previously controlled and acquired a few claims, on which a total of $20,735.60 was paid to the
Government in fees. Hydraulic stripping operations were conducted for the entire season at
seven large plants; a total of $187,865 was expended on stripping operations during the year.
Cold water thawing operations were continued at seven plants formerly operated and one new
plant for Dredge No. 3 in the Guggieville area. Nine dredges were operated for the entire
season and Dredge No. 11 for a short period at the end of the season after its completion. Dredg-
ing commenced as early as April 8 and ended at one location as late as January 12. A total of
10,141,189 cubic yards were dredged; 74,272-42 fine ounces of gold and 17,394-63 fine ounces of
silver were produced during the year. An average of 387 men were employed and $1,061,000 were
expended for salaries, wages and board. Expenditures for equipment and supplies, not purchased
locally, totalled $469,490, on which freight to Dawson was paid amounting to $121,000. Local
purchases, consisting principally of groceries, gasoline and horse feed amounted to $185,000.
Dredging conditions were favourable until November 10 when a sharp reduction in power supply
occurred causing shut down of five dredges immediately.
The Holbrook Dredging Company, in Receivership, operated a dredge on the Upper Sixty-
mile River, commencing on May 16 and closing down on November 8, producing 3,024-54 ounces,
having a recovery value of $83,412.62. This dredge is diesel operated and is equipped with fifty-
two four-foot buckets, but owing to its age and condition was only able to dig sixty per cent of the
total capacity of 2,000 cubic yards. The yardage dug during the 1939 season was approximately
200,000 cubic yards. An average of twenty-one men were employed and the wages paid amounted
to $37,551.03.
On the Upper part and on the Left Fork of Clear Creek the Canadian Placers, Limited, con-
tinued their exploration for resources for a large scale placer operation. They met with such
success that mining equipment has been ordered, and this will be installed on the Left Fork of
Clear Creek as early as possible, resulting in production during 1940.
Individual mining operations chiefly during the summer season were confined to the old
placer Creeks in the Dawson and Sixtymile areas, Haggart and Highet Creeks in the Mayo area,
and Bullion and Burwash Creeks in the Kluane Lake area, and Livingstone Creek District. No
placer discoveries of consequence were made during the year, but prospecting for placer gold has
been on the increase.

THE AURIFEROUS QUARTZ MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA

The great part of the gold of Canada comes from the Canadian Shield, an immense area of
precambrian rocks extending from the Labrador Coast westward almost to the mouth of Mac-
Kenzie River. The area of the shield is roughly 1,825,000 square miles, almost half of Canada.
The deposits of the shield are of two main types, namely, quartz veins, from which most of the
gold, up to the present time, has been won, and sulphide deposits which produce a smaller but very
considerable proportion. The second great source of gold in Canada has been the Western or
Cordilleran section, comprising British Columbia and Yukon Territories; the gold production
from this section includes relatively large quantities obtained from alluvial deposits. The third
principal area in which gold deposits occur is the Acadian region of Eastern Canada, the metal
occurring principally in Nova Scotia where it has been mined since 1862.
The number of Canadian gold mining firms reporting mining operations in 1939 totalled 455
compared with 535 in 1938; 80 in 1929 and 65 in 1923. During the year under review there were
474 properties in operation compared with 550 in 1938; in 1939, 232 mines reported production
as against 226 in 1938 and 33 in 1923.
The gross value of output for the entire industry and including the value of all recoverable
metals, including gold, silver, etc., totalled $160,014,172 in 1939 compared with $143,146,911
in
1938. Of the 1939 total, $109,737,969 were contributed by mines in Ontario, $24,665,228 by
mines in Quebec, and $18,539,368 by the gold mines of British Columbia.
Employees in the lode gold mining industry totalled 30,622 compared with 29,647 in 1938 and
5,524 in 1923. Salaries and wages paid increased from a total of $00,462,092 in 1938 to $53,206,225
in 1939 and fuel and purchased electricity consumed by the industry during 1939 amounted
to
$7,952,580 while the cost of explosives, drill steel and other process supplies used in the same
period amounted to $19,484,870.
Dividends paid during 1939, as computed from actual returns made by the lode gold mining
industry, totalled $42,060,008.
Nova Scotia Gold Mining Industry, 1939
(J. P. Messervey, Inspector of Metal Mines and Quarries, N.S. Department of Mines)
Early in the year the Department laid plans for assistance to the gold operators of the
province and obtained the services of G. V. Douglas, Professor of Geology at Dalhousie University,
for this purpose. Many of the operating mines in the province were visited and examined and
assistance given in interpretation of geological problems encountered by the operators.
This
work formed a basis upon which exploration and development of additional reserves can
be
undertaken.
The principle established was, that the Department would supply the services of a geologist -
and, if necessary, a field survey party, to any operator deserving assistance, the operator under-
taking to house and board the Department’s personnel and supply additional labour,
if necessary.
This service was asked for and supplied to six developing and operating properties during
the year
and proved a successful and substantial form of assistance to the development of the mineral
wealth of the province.
The Mine Apprentice Project at Chester Basin continued in operation with the training
of
young men in hardrock mining. With the outbreak of war, a number of trainees left to
join the
Army and, on instructions from Ottawa, no new trainees have been enrolled. The war
situation
has definitely changed the Youth’s training schemes, throughout Canada, and this project
may
have to close with the end of the Federal fiscal year, March 31, 1940. That the project
has
definitely proved its own worth is shown by the records of wages obtained by trainees since
they
left the school. Incomplete records show that over $400,000 in wages have already been earned
by the 350 youths who have passed through the school.
To rehabilitate coal miners from Thorburn area of Pictou County, the Department of Labour,
jointly with the Federal Department of Labour, authorized the establishment of an older age
Rehabilitation Project on the gold deposits of Fifteen Mile Stream. Work commenced in July,
when Professor Douglas and his field party made preliminary surveys to determine the most
feasible way to attack the project. Relief recipients were put on the property in August, to
construct buildings for living quarters. A power line has been installed from the Sheet Harbour-
Pictou line of the Nova Scotia Power Commission and pumps installed and mine workings un-
watered. Mining and mill equipment is now being installed and it is expected that the property
will go into operation early in 1940. Forty-one trainees are now on the property.
Seal Harbor Gold Mines Limited, Goldboro, stepped up its mill capacity to 260 tons per day
early in the year and the main shaft was sunk from the 400 to the 550 foot level where drifting and
crosscutting to the main ore zones was completed before the end of the year.
At Goldenville, the Guysboro Mines Limited completed another year of very successful
operations. The original shaft 260 feet from the surface has been deepened by them and levels
established at 400, 500 and 600 feet. Construction of new buildings, installation of new electric
hoist and treatment plant for auriferous concentrates have been carried out during the year.
The Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company completed another year of successful opera-
tions at Caribou Mines. Most of the stoping was confined to the ore above the 500 foot level.
In February the whole plant of the Avon Gold Mines Limited at Oldham was changed over
from diesel operation to hydro-electric power. The original mill on the property consisted of 20
stamps. A ball mill, jig, classifier and blanket unit of 75 tons were added during the summer
months. Underground developments were pushed extensively and the main winze from the 450
foot level was deepened to the 675 foot level. During the winter months of 1940 they plan to
sink this winze to 925 feet thus establishing two additional levels.
One gold mine was forced to close during the year, and prior to its final closing the field party
surveyed, examined and sampled the existing limits of the workings, so that definite knowledge is
available on file in the Department, if at some future time it is decided to reopen the property.
The value of the production in 1938 was $1,000,000. This exceeded that of the former peak
year 1898 by $400,000. Due to the closing of one mine, the value of the production for 1939 is
about the same as that of last year. There are today seventeen gold mining enterprises in Nova
Scotia of which ten are contributing to the production of gold. Several other properties are under
investigation.
New Brunswick
(N.B. Department of Lands and Mines)

At Alcida, Gloucester County, the Youth Training Party No. 9 located and trenched several
gold-bearing veins which gave encouraging assays at the surface, but the values diminished rapidly
below the zone of oxidation.
On the Monquart River in Carleton County five claims were staked where encouraging zones
of sulphides had been discovered. Samples assayed 0-06 ounces of gold per ton. No commercial
production of gold was reported in New Brunswick during the year under review.
The Gold Industry in Quebec in 1939

(A. O. Dufresne, Director, Quebec Bureau of Mines)
With a gold production (shipments) of 951,681 ounces, valued at $34,394,703 in 1939, the
Province of Quebec easily retains the second place among the provinces of the Dominion. This
ranking as a gold producer was reached in 1931 and has been held continuously since that year.
The entirety of this gold was produced by Western Quebec mines, in the contiguous counties
of Temiscamingue and Abitibi. Returns of production in 1939 were received from 29 mines; of
these mines, four were new producers: the Amm Gold, the Central Cadillac, the Wood Cadillac
and the Mooshla. The output of the first three, situated in Cadillac township was bullion, while
the Mooshla, in Bousquet township, produced high grade ore which was sent to the Noranda
smelter.
The gold industry of Quebec expanded remarkably in the last 12 years, since the discovery of
the deposits of the Rouyn-Harricana region. These are of two types: “straight gold ores’’, in
which the precious metal is found in quartz gangue, and “‘complex sulphide ore bodies” in which
the gold occurs in large replacement lenses of iron, copper and zine sulphides, from which copper
and zinc are also produced. The gold-quartz ores are treated by amalgamation and cyanidation
and the sulphides are smelting ores.
In 1939 approximately 72 per cent of the gold production was derived from the gold-quartz
ores, and 28 per cent from the complex sulphide ores.
Prospecting activities rather fell off in 1939, the number of claims recorded totalled 8,781,
against 11,320 in 1938 and 18,641 in 1937. The latter number constituted a record of all times.
The gold quartz mines had a very good year and continued to expand. Out of the 18 principal
producers, 15 reported an increase in the production of bullion, as compared with 1938, and the
decreases of the three others were very slight.
In the western part of the Rouyn-Harricana region, the Francoeur mill was increased and a
cyaniding unit was added to it. The Arntfield maintained a steady production, with the bulk of
the ore treated in the mill coming from No. 2 shaft area. At the Powell-Rouyn the shaft was
deepened to 1,650 feet and the production was speeded up to 850 tons a day; this company has no
mill, the ore is trucked to the Noranda smelter where it is used as a silicious flux, as well as for its
gold tenor. The Stadacona Rouyn Mines, Limited encountered financial difficulties in the fall
of 1939, and a liquidator was appointed. Nevertheless the mine and mill were operated con-
tinuously all year, at 450 tons a day during the first half, and at 350 for the last months. The
Beattie mine and mill continued to operate on a basis of 1,700 tons a day. At the McWatters
mine encouraging results have been obtained by the development -work carried out on the lower
levels.
In the Bousquet-Cadillac area, the Mooshla mine was reopened, and shipments of high-grade
gold ore were commenced to the Noranda custom smelter. The O’Brien mine produced an average
tonnage of 170 tons daily; No. 3 shaft was completed to 1,523 feet and a connection was made with
No. 2 shaft at the 1,500 foot level. Production was commenced from the Central Cadillac mine,
and the Thompson Cadillac mill is utilized for treating the ore. A 200 ton mill was erected at the
Wood Cadillac, and production was commenced late in the year. Production was commenced
at the Amm mine in March, and at the end of the year the mill was treating 150 tons daily. At
Lapa Cadillac, a cyanide unit was added to the mill, and tonnage was stepped up to 250 tons per
day.
Important developments took place in the Fourniere-Malartic area. A steady output of
675 tons daily was maintained at the Canadian Malartic mine; a new shaft was completed to a
depth of 625 feet on the eastern boundary of the property, and a 2,500 foot drift was driven to
connect with the No. 1 shaft workings. A new shaft was also completed at the Sladen Malartic
mine, and production was increased to 700 tons daily. At Hast Malartic, production was in-
creased to 1,500 tons per day; an extensive stripping operation involving the removal of 400,000
cubic yards of overburden from the orebody was nearing completion at the end of the year. The
Malartic Goldfields mine was developed and brought into production in record time; shaft-sinking
was commenced in February, and by the end of the year three levels had been opened, and a
300 ton mill was in operation.
In the Bourlamaque-Dubuisson area, a steady output of 600 tons daily was maintained at
the Siscoe mine. At the Sullivan Consolidated mine, the No. 1 shaft was deepened to 1,150 feet
and production was stepped-up to 350 tons daily in the final quarter of the year. An average
daily tonnage of 1,200 tons was treated at Lamaque and an inclined internal shaft was completed
to a vertical depth of 2,423 feet from the surface.
At Sigma, production averaged 700 tons per day; the shaft was deepened to 1,000 feet below
the 8th (1000-foot) level. The Perron No. 5 shaft was completed to a depth of 1,156 feet and
production was increased to 365 tons daily. The Cournor mill was in steady operation throughout
the year. An amalgamation of the Cournor and Beaufor properties was carried out.
Production at the Belleterre mine, in Guillet township, has been increased to over 200 tons
daily, and the mine responded very favourably to development with important additions to ore
reserves in the No. 12 zone.
A great deal of exploration and development work was carried out on many gold-quartz
deposits in various localities in Western Quebec. The Flordin Mines, Limited did much surface
work on their property in the Currie township area. The Mic-Mac Explorations, a subsidiary of
the U.S. Smelting, Refining and Mining Company actively explored several properties on which
they have secured options, the Cassels-Duval, in Bousquet township, being one of them. The
National Malartic carried out an extensive programme of diamond drilling on their two properties
in Fourniere and Malartic townships respectively. The Senator Rouyn Mines, Limited has
purchased a complete milling plant to be set up early in 1940. The Lake Rose mine, situated in
Currie township, 75 miles north of Senneterre closed down on March 18, 1939, owing to depletion
it is reported.
Bill No. 35, an Act respecting the sale of unwrought precious metals was introduced into the
Legislative Assembly of Quebec in June, 1940. The purpose of this bill is to facilitate the sup-
pressing of the illegal traffic in precious metals by requiring anyone carrying on such commerce
to have a license, and by providing for appropriate regulation.
Summary Review of the Ontario Gold Mining Industry 1939
(Maurice Tremblay, Statistician, Ontario Department of Mines)
Porcupine.—Preston East Dome, while a producer in 1938 through shipments of high-

grade ore, actually joined the group of producing mines with the commencement of milling
operations on February 25, 1939. The new mill at De Santis Porcupine Mines went into produc-
tion in May, 1939. Broulan entered the production stage, using the Mace mill, on the Ist of
November. The first brick was poured on December 2, 1939. One of the pioneer properties of
the camp, Mace Gold Mines (formerly Vipond) ceased operating in October. Production
started on this property in 1911. Towards the end of the year mill construction was being rushed
on the Aunor and Faymar properties. Shaft sinking on both properties was started in April, 1938.
Kirkland Lake.—The No. 2 shaft at Macassa was sunk from the 500 foot to the 2,900 foot
elevations. Lowest stoping level at this property is 3,350 feet below ground. Mill capacity at
Kirkland Lake Gold Mines Ltd. was increased to 400 tonsa day. A new 145 foot steel headframe
was erected and the No. 3 winze was sunk 576 feet to the 4,468 foot elevation. At the end of the
year the mine was hoisting 300 tons of ore per day. At Teck-Hughes the mill operated throughout
the year at approximately 1,000 tons a day. The No. 6 internal shaft at Lake Shore was sunk
from 4,000 to 4,700 elevations and the No. 4 internal shaft deepened from 4,450 foot elevation to
5,075 feet. No new levels were established but development was carried out on the lower levels.
The No. 5 winze at Wright-Hargreaves had reached a depth of 6,410 feet below the surface. The
lowest stoping level at this property is at the 4,900 foot level. At the Sylvanite mine tonnage
was slightly increased. Loading pockets were installed at the 3,300 foot level and 2,000 foot level
of the main shaft. Preparations were made to sink a new internal shaft to be collared on the
3,150 level. Sub-level development of former margins of old stopes yielded sufficient ore to
operate the Toburn mill for the year. Cross-cuts on the 1,100 were put out through Toburn and
into Federal ground to obtain structural information. Operations by Toburn were suspended
May 30, 1939 at the Continental Kirkland Mines property. The No. 2 winze at Bidgood Kirkland
was deepened from 1,525 foot to 2,025 foot level. The No. 1 shaft was reopened in October with
construction of new shaft house, headframe, hoist and compressor building, boiler house, water
tank and ore bin. Development work was done on three new levels at the Morris Kirkland Gold
Mines Ltd. The mill was operated under lease by Upper Canada Gold Mines until early in
October. This latter company deepened the shaft on its property and established new levels.
A new 150 ton mill was operating since October, 1939. Crescent Kirkland was reopened in July.
Drifting some 450 feet to the 8.W. on the 3rd level was being planned. Golden Gate operated
throughout the year and new stopes were opened on the 600 foot level.
Larder Lake.—The mill capacity at Kerr-Addison mine was increased from 700 tons to
1,200 tons per day and a new modern fireproof dry to accommodate up to 350 men was built.
The main shaft was sunk from the 700 foot level to a point 125 feet below the 1,450 foot level.
Chesterville, north of Kerr-Addison, commenced milling 500 tons per day in July. The shaft was
deepened to 590 feet. At the Cheminis property the shaft was deepened to 550 feet and at the
Omega property new levels were established after the Crown shaft had been deepened. Anoki
Gold Mines Limited closed down on February 25, 1939, but reopened December 15, 1939 under
new management. The shaft at this property was completed to the 475 foot level. Development
work on the 500 foot level was done on the property of Beaverhouse Lake Gold mines after opera-
tions had been resumed on April 8, 1939. Underground operations were then suspended on
September 15. Operations were also suspended at Raven River, Fernland, Barber Larder and
Martin Bird during the year.
Sudbury-Timagami-Shiningtree.—Operations at Lebel Oro ceased in October and the

mining and milling plant were salvaged, while at the New Golden Rose property the mine and
mill were operated all year. Stoping was continued on the same levels as in 1938. The 200 ton
mill at the Tyranite mine started production on June 15. Operations ceased at the Tionaga,
Ronda and Pirate mines. Construction of a mining plant was completed in April at the Jerome
property. A shaft was sunk to a depth of 520 feet and levels established at 200, 350 and 500 feet
on which lateral work was carried on for the balance of the year.
Matachewan.—Production was maintained by Young Davidson and Matachewan Con-

solidated. At the Arbade property dewatering of the shaft was commenced in October. It was
then planned to do 400 feet of crosscutting onthe 200 foot level. Other properties were inactive.
Algoma.—All work at the Agawa mine ceased in October and the amalgamation mill which
had been tuned in in April was moved to another property in Porcupine. The Cline mine con-
tinued mining and milling throughout the year. Operations were discontinued at the Minto in
July and at the Ranson mine in November. Algoma Summit which had ceased producing in
February, 1939, was taken over by Magino Gold Mines in September. Engineering work was
done for the balance of the year. In the Oba area operations were suspended at the Shenango and
Hiawatha properties.
Thunder Bay.—Theresa Gold Mines, Ltd. which was on the list of producers for 1938
confined its activities in 1939 to a small amount of shaft-sinking and surface exploration. The
property was inactive at the end of the year. Jellicoe Consolidated Gold Mines Limited was
succeeded by Jellicoe Mines (1939), Limited, and commenced mining operations in the middle of
August. The ore was treated in the mill of Magnet Consolidated Mines (1936) Limited. A
flotation-amalgamation mill of 110 tons daily capacity was erected in May at the latter mine and
production was inaugurated in June. Plans were under way to add a cyanide unit to the mill so
that shipment of concentrates to the Empire mine for cyanidation could be discontinued. The
remaining ten properties in production in 1938 continued throughout 1939 with some increases
in tonnage and output. Employment by producing mines jumped from 1,440 in 1938 to 1,643 in
1939 while wage-earners at non-producing mines declined from 157 in 1938 to only 65 in 1939.
There were 12 producing mines in 1939 compared to 11 in 1938 and in 1937. There was less
prospecting and development work on non-producing properties than in 1938.
Rainy River.—There were no mining operations carried on in Rainy River during 1939 in
regard to gold.
Lake of the Woods Area.—About 100 tons of gold ore were treated by the Kenopo Mining
and Milling Company, which was incorporated as a private company late in 1938. The above
tonnage was taken from the High Lake claim but no gold was recovered. The mill is available
for customs milling and during 1939 about 300 tons were milled. It has a capacity of 25 tons
daily and the gold is recovered by amalgamation. Kenricia Gold Mines Ltd. joined the list of
gold producers on July 1 with a new 100-ton all cyanide mill. The ore was obtained from three
stopes, two on the first level and one on the second. Late in the year arrangements were made to
treat 10,000 tons of ore from the Sunbeam Kirkland mine, which is situated some 30 miles west in
Manitoba. Split Lake Gold Mines Ltd. shipped 150 tons of gold ore to the Kenopo mill at
Norman during July and August. This ore was obtained from the surface. Operations were
closed down in mid September. Wendigo operated throughout the year treating about 100 tons
daily. The bulk of the gold is recovered by amalgamation but a copper gold concentrate is made
from the tailings by flotation. The concentrates are bagged and shipped to a smelter.
Upper Manitou and Lower Manitou Lakes Area.—Straw Lake Beach Gold Mines Ltd.
joined the group of gold producers late in 1938 and during 1939 an average of 60 tons were treated
daily. Mining operations were suspended on December 10 and the mill was shut down on the
16th. Elora Gold Mines Ltd. did not operate underground but did some surface mining from the
open cut on the Jubilee vein near the shaft. The ore was trucked to the old Laurentian mill
which had been repaired and operated in 1937. Operations were carried on from June 1 when
the mill was reconditioned, until September 30 when car conditions made it advisable to suspend
operations. Thirty-six tons were treated daily.
Sachigo Area.—Sachigo River Exploration Co., Ltd. operated throughout 1939 and the
mill averaged 30 tons of sorted ore daily. The shaft was deepened 285 feet below the 500 foot
level to 815 feet and two new levels were opened up at 650 and 800 feet. The mine operated only
one shift and sinking was done on the others.
Favourable Lake Area.—The Berens River Mine, which has been idle since January 15,
1938, turned its mill over in September, 1939. Supplies and equipment for the buildings and
installation of a mining plant and a 225 ton cyanide mill were assembled and transported by scow
to Berens River Landing on Lake Winnipeg in the Fall of 1938 to be hauled to the mine during
the winter over a 190 mile tractor route, 75 miles of which is over lakes. Late in the Fall of 1938
some 36,000 pounds of materials were flown to the mine and mill construction commenced to be
ready to install the equipment and machinery as it arrived with the tractor freight. The tractors
started from Berens River Landing early in January of 1939 and 2,500 tons of supplies, materials
and equipment were delivered to the mine before break-up by 10 diesel tractors. The ore at this
property is lead-zine carrying gold and silver. Only gold and silver are recovered by cyanidation
although a lead-zine concentrate is made and stored to be shipped as return freight on the winter
tractor trains.
Red Lake Area.—Cochenour Willans Gold Mines Ltd. which has been idle since 1937,
entered the production stage in December, 1939. Underground and other preparatory operations
had been resumed in January, 1939 and arrangements were made with the Gold Eagle Gold Mines
Ltd. to mill about 5,000 tons of Cochenour ore as a test. The test milling was intermittent and
ended on April 17. The shaft was deepened during September and October and a new level was
established at 375 feet. Mill equipment was delivered to the mine before freeze-up. The 150
ton plant went into operation on November 29. Faulkenham Lake Gold Mines Ltd. continued
working at the Starrett-Olsen property until April 15. The option was cancelled and the property
and equipment reverted to the Val D’Or Mineral Holdings. Operations at the Gold Eagle mine
were convinuous during the year and the mill averaged 135 tons per day. Ore from the Cochenour
Willans property was treated. Hasaga Gold Mines Ltd. was also active right through the year
sending about 150 tons of ore daily by truck to the Red Lake Gold Shore mill. Operations were
restricted to the No. 1 workings only. Early in the summer, Hasaga took over the financing and
operation of the Starratt-Olsen property formerly operated by Faulkenham Lake Gold Mines.
Development started on the 175-foot level and continued until the end of the year. Mill heads
were running slightly under $2.00 at the remote Howey mine, making it the lowest cost producer
of Ontario. The costs averaged roughly $1.25 per ton. Work was carried on intermittently at
the Lake Rowan property until September 11 when war conditions made it advisable to close down
entirely. Madsen Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. operated throughout the year and an average of
375 tons were milled daily. Exploration and diamond drilling on the 500 foot level proved up the
ore body below the 500 foot level and shaft sinking got underway September 21. Cross-cutting
on the 650 foot level just got started at the year end. Some underground work was done at the
McMarmac Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. The company was formed to develop the property of
the Margaret Red Lake Gold Mines and the Richmac Gold Mines (1936) Ltd. in Dome township.
The property lies about a mile east of the Cochenour Willans shaft. The shaft was completed
to the 300 foot level at the end of the year. McKenzie Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. operated their
property throughout the year, and milled at the rate of 193 tons per day. The inclined winze
was deepened below the 850 foot level and three new levels were established. McKenzie took
options on the Sanshaw and Margaret properties. Diamond drilling was done on the Sanshaw
property during the Spring. Shaft sinking and devlopment were carried out at the Margaret
property.
24315—5
Woman and Uchi Lakes Area.—At Hanalda Gold Mines Ltd., which was formed to take
over the property held by Kenalda Gold Mines Ltd., north of the Uchi, a three compartment vertical
shaft was sunk to a depth of 323 feet with levels established at 150 and 300 feet. Development
followed on both levels. Jalda Gold Mines Lta. is the company formed to operate the property
of the Conwo Gold Mines Ltd. situated 2 miles north of the Uchi mine shaft. By December 11
the vertical shaft was completed to 323 feet and development followed on two levels established
at 150 and 300 feet. J. M. Consolidated operated all year, the mill treating an average of 100
tons daily. Uchi Gold Mines Ltd. entered the production stage fifty days ahead of schedule on
May 4. The plant, a 500-ton cyanide mill treated an average of 422 tons daily during the year.
Much underground development work was done.
Birch and Casummit Lake Area.—Jason Mines Ltd. was formed to assume the liabilities
and take over the operation of the former Argosy Gold Mines Ltd. Shaft sinking on what is
known as the No. 1 vein was commenced in January and levels were established.
Pickle Crow Area.—Dewatering at the Albany River Gold Mines Ltd. was commenced on
November 8 and on December 1 a cage was installed and development was inaugurated on the
625 foot level on December 17. Central Patricia Gold Mines Ltd. at the No. 1 operation operated
all year and the mill treated an average of 315 tons daily including 30 tons of sorted ore from the
No. 2 operation. The No. 1 shaft was deepened and new levels were established. Mining was
done chiefly below the 375 down to the 1,000 level. A new all steel headframe and a sorting plant
were erected in August. The shaft at the No. 2 operations was deepened also and new levels were
established. Some 30 tons of sorted ore are trucked to the No. 1 mill daily. At the Pickle Crow
property operations were carried on through the year and the mill treated an average of 350 tons
of sorted ore daily. A new all-steel headframe was erected in September and a new hoist, capable
of operating to 3,000 feet was installed and in operation by the first of November. Exploration
work was done on the 750 level from a 1,200 foot cross-cut driven to the north of the workings to
explore a possible ore body outlined by diamond drilling from surface. Drifting was directed to
the east towards the Albany River property (subject to revision).
MANITOBA GOLD MINING INDUSTRY, 1939
(Geo. E. Cole, Director of Mines, Manitoba)

The production of gold in Manitoba during 1939 totalled 180,875 ounces as compared with
185,708 ounces for 1938.
Gold was produced at six gold-quartz mines, two of which, Gurney and Laguna, discontinued
operations towards the end of the year. Gold was also obtained in the treatment of base metal
ores of the Flin Flon and Sherritt Gordon mines. The year’s gold production of all mines is but
4,439 ounces under that of 1938.
Developments at God’s Lake during the year proved to be very satisfactory and permitted
not only of maintaining the daily production at 200 tons but of increasing the value of production.
Development work was concentrated on lower horizons and two important ore shoots were
explored. ‘Towards the end of the year preparations were made for the sinking of a new shaft to
a depth of 2,000 feet at a point 6,000 feet west of No. 1 or Main shaft.
In the southeastern part of the province the San Antonio mine enjoyed the best year of its
history producing some 34, 237 ounces of gold and at the same time increasing its ore reserves.
The Gunnar mine maintained an output of 145 tons a day and produced 18,193 ounces of
gold, and ore reserves were maintained. The company deepened its main shaft to the 1,750-foot
level and prepared for development at three new levels.
During the year 1939 dividends were continued by both the San Antonio and Gunnar com-
panies while God’s Lake Gold Mines Ltd. paid its first dividend at October first.
While production of gold has been maintained in keeping with 1938 there was some improve-
ment in the prospecting situation. Interesting discoveries were made at Last Hope Lake situated
some 106 miles northeast of Sherritt-Gordon mine before the declaration of war in Europe. It is
difficult to foretell what bearing the international situation will have on the gold prospecting during
1940. Geological work was continued by the Dominion and the Province during 1939.
An innovation in prospecting was attempted in Manitoba when the province undertook the
training of a number of young men under the Dominion-Provincial Youth Training Scheme.
Sixty youths were given a preliminary prospector’s training course in Winnipeg and in July were
placed under canvas in the West Hawk-Falcon Lake area and in The Pas area. Field training
lasted three months during which they were given a thorough insight into the routine of prospect-
ing in Precambrian country. At the end of this period, some 75 per cent of those trained were
considered to be worthy of recommendation to mining companies or others desirous of securing
persons competent for prospecting ventures.
Saskatchewan’s Gold Mining Industry, 1939
(E. Swain, Supervisor of Mines)
Gold production in Saskatchewan reached 77,120 ounces, a peak in its metal-mining

history.
This advance is the result of higher grade ore from the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co.
property near Flin Flon, the entry of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company Box
Property at Lake Athabaska as a producer, and 64-229 ounces of placer gold from the North
Saskatchewan River.
In addition, ore tonnage at Flin Flon was stepped up from 4,500 tons to about 5,200 daily
during the latter part of the year. The Company is making notable progress in sinking its second
main operating shaft.
Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company commenced operating about July 1 putting
through 1,200 tons of ore daily and deriving its energy from a 3,300 H.P. hydro electric plant
situated at Wellington Lake some 24 miles distant in a Northwesterly direction. The site is
capable of doubling its output of electrical energy, which would require the addition of another
unit of equal power.
Athona Mines (1937) Limited, whose mine is located near Goldfields, awaited completion of
the “Box Mill” before deciding on future activity. It is expected that the Company will shortly
decide the steps to be taken to place its mine on a producing basis. The question of obtaining
power is of paramount importance.
The Churchill River Power Company, a subsidiary of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting
Company, has added another 19,000 H.P. unit to its Island Falls plant which has brought its
capacity up to 90,000 H.P. It has also constructed regulatory dams to conserve the necessary
head of water to maintain the required output of energy.
Flin Flon Gold Mines Ltd. property at Douglas Lake which is about 4 miles South West of
Flin Flon remained idle. The property was recently taken over by Douglas Lake Mines Ltd. and
a 10,000 foot diamond drilling program has been planned in an endeavor to locate further ore
reserves.
The Sulphide Lake area near Lac La Ronge continues to attract attention as to its possi-
bilities. Much surface work was done in the district by a few groups of men. A reliable com-
pany has secured options on a large number of mineral claims and has embarked upon a geo-
physical survey which may be completed during 1940. Some gold was panned from the gossan
on the 8 & O No. 1 mineral claim by Adolph Studer who had a long tom in operation but it is not
known whether he made wages with this effort. The mining road from Prince Albert to Lac La
Ronge has reached a point at about 50 miles from the village the balance of the road has been cut
and slashed and may be completed this year.
24315—53
British Columbia Gold Mining Industry, 1939
(Philip B. Freeland, Chief Mining Engineer)

The Polaris-Taku Mining Company Ltd., Tulsequah River, in the Atlin Mining Division,
continued operations and milled 68,968 tons of ore, the concentrates produced being shipped to
Tacoma smelter.
The Big Missouri continued operations, the underground mill treating 202,321 tons of ore.
Silbak Premier Mines Ltd., milled 169,164 tons of ore. The Surf Inlet Consolidated Gold Mines
Ltd., in the Skeena Mining Division milled 27,264 tons of ore and the concentrates were ship-
ped to Tacoma.
Porcher Island Mines, Ltd., operated for a short period during the year, and later went into
voluntary liquidation.
A new mine in the Stikine area, came into production during the year, the property being
operated by the McDames Lake Mining Co. Ltd. on McDames Lake. A small production was
made and plans made to increase same in 1940.
In the Cariboo District, the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mining Co. Ltd. milled a total of 110,208
tons of ore. Island Mountain Mining Co. Ltd. milled 46,209 tons during the year. The Cariboo
Hudson carried on operations and production for a part of the year, the mill closing down in July
pending financial adjustments.
In the Omineca Division, the Quesnelle Quartz Mining Co. Ltd. operated for a short time
in the early part of the year and then went into voluntary liquidation.
In the Kamloops area the Windpass was worked by lessees during a part of the season. In
the Similkameen and Osoyoos divisions, the Canty Gold made a small production, and the main
production was made by Hedley Mascot, Kelowna Exploration, Osoyoos Mines of Canada,
Ltd., and Fairview Amalgamated. Other producers were Gold Standard, Grandora, Monashee,
Empire, MacSiccar, Silver King, Smuggler and Yellow Valley.
Grand Forks, Greenwood Division, had a number of properties shipping during the year.
Among these were the Athelstan, Berlin, City of Paris, Inland Empire, Little Bertha, Winnipeg
and Yankee Boy. The Union mine near Grand Forks and formerly owned by the late J. F.
McCarthy, was taken over by W. EH. McArthur of Greenwood, and shipments were made during
1939.
Other shippers in the area were the Amandy, Beaver, Brooklyn-Stemwinder, Granby (Phoenix)
North Star, No. 7, and Providence.
In the Nelson area the main producers were Arlington (Oscarson), Gold Belt, Kootenay
Belle, Relief Arlington, Reno, Sheep Greek, and Ymir Yankee Girl. The Bayonne came back
into production. In the Ainsworth division, the Highland-Surprise and the L. H. made tonnage
shipments. ‘The Midway in Fort Steele and the Winslow Syndicate made small productions.
In the Trail Creek division, a number of leasers made shipments from the properties owned
by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. In addition, the Midnight operated by B. A. Lins
had a successful year, and other shippers were the Albion, Cariboo Evening Star, I. X. L., Mid-
night and O. K.
The Vidette mine near Ashcroft continued to operate, as did the Ashloo near Squamish.
In the Lillooet division, the Bralorne maintained its position as leading gold producer of the
Province and during the year milled 184,922 tons. The Pioncer milled 88,009 tons, but production
was curtailed owing to labour difficulties, from early October, 1939, until about the middle of
March, 1940. The mine is now back on practically capacity production. The Minto is expected
to resume shipments early in 1940 under leasing arrangments. A new producer the Jagee made
a small production.
The Alberni division saw resumption of production at the Havilah, and the United Prospectors
(controlled by Privateer Mines, Ltd.) again made shipments from the Thistle mine.
’
The Vancouver Island Gold Mines Ltd., in voluntary liquidation, leased its property to
Mr. G. Moffatt, Port Alberni.
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA 69)
The Zeballos area, Clayoquot Mining Division was responsible for making a substantial
contribution to the Provincial output of gold. The Privateer is the major operation, having
milled 26,820 tons during the year. The Spud Valley Gold Mines Ltd., also made an excellent
showing and is credited with 20,950 tons milled. The Mount Zeballos Gold Mines Ltd. milled
6,337 tons, the new mill turning over in August. Central Zeballos Gold Mines, Ltd., controlled
by Reno Gold Mines, Ltd., contributed a small output in 1939.
In the Nanaimo Mining Division development proceeded at the properties controlled and
operated by Loughborough Gold Mines, Ltd., and leasing operations at the Alexandria were
carried on for a short period during the year. Several properties in the Yale (now New West-
minster) division recorded small tonnage shipments.
Gold Mining in Northwest Territories, 1939
(C. S. Lord, Geological Survey, Department of Mines and Resources)

In 1939 Northwest Territories completed its second year of steady lode gold production and
nearly all gold came from Con and Negus mineson Yellowknife Bay on the north arm of Great Slave
Lake. Most prospecting was done in the Yellowknife Bay area, in the adjacent Beaulieu River
area, and near Wray Lake 120 miles north-northwest of Yellowknife Bay. It is estimated that
these areas were prospected by 125 men during the summer of 1939 compared with 350 men
during the summer of 1938. About 1,400 claims were recorded from these arcas in 1939 compared
with about 3,500 claims in 1938. Many new gold deposits were found in 1939 and nearly all of
them are in areas mapped by the Geological Survey. River transportation between Waterways
and Yellowknife was facilitated by improvements of river channels and docks and the first over-
land wimter freight to reach Yellowknife arrived there in the spring of 1939 by tractor train over a
road from Grimshaw, Alberta. Plans for the construction of a 4,700 horsepower hydro-electric
plant near Yellowknife Bay were announced by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited, early in 1940.
Yellowknife Bay.—Con mine, operated by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited, started production in September, 1938, and by the end of 1939, 53,000 tons of
ore had been milled and about 40,500 fine ounces of gold recovered. During August, 1939, the
mill treated 3,306 tons of ore containing 1-00 ounce of gold a ton. Ore reserves at the end of
1939 were 53,720 tons containing 0-86 ounce of gold a ton. Nearly all ore treated came from
two veins and from above the 250-foot level. Lateral workings from a vertical shaft total more
than 7,500 feet and are on 125-, 250-, and 500-foot levels. The shaft is reported to have been
extended below the 500-foot level during the winter of 1939-40. On the 250-foot level 1,200 feet
of drifting on one vein exposed 648 feet of ore in six shoots which averaged about 54 feet wide and
contained about 1-3 ounces of gold a ton; one of these shoots is 100 feet long, averages 17 feet
wide, and contains 1-00 ounces of gold a ton. The process used at the 110-ton mill is a combina-
tion of amalgamation and cyanidation.
A little ore from Rycon mine, 2,200 fect east of Con mine, was treated at the Con mill.
Negus mine started production in [fe ruary, 1939, and by the end of the year 18,996 tons of ore
had been treated and 15,995 fine ounces of gold recovered. This ore came from five veins. Ore
reserves at December 31, 1939, were 12,900 tons containing 11,428 ounces of gold and most of
this ore was below the 100-foot level. Lateral workings from a vertical shaft totalled about 4,400
feet at the end of the year and are on the 100-, 200-, and 300-foot levels. The process used at the
60-ton mill is a combination of amalgamation and cyanidation.
Ptarmigan Mines, Limited, controlled by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited, continued underground work on a wide quartz vein, part of which is of ore
grade. By March, 1940, the vertical shaft was 600 feet deep and the vein explored by drifts on
150-, 300-, and 450-foot levels. Drifts on the 150- and 300-foot levels totalled about 1,200 feet in
August, 1939. The company was reported to be considering the erection of a 130-ton mill.
Giant Yellowknife Gold Mines, Limited, completed more than 5,400 feet of diamond drilling
on the Brock veins and Ole shear zone. An inclined prospect shaft was sunk to a vertical depth
of 55 feet on the Brock veins and 192 feet of drifting completed. Seventy-four tons of selected
ore, containing 647 fine ounces of gold, were shipped to Trail, B.C.
Beaulieu River area is a 4,400-square mile rectangle lying immediately east of Yellowknife
Bay. Most gold discoveries in Northwest Territories in 1938 and 1939 were made in this area.
Thompson-Lundmark Gold Mines, Limited, continued underground work on the Kim vein
and started underground work on the Fraser vein which was perhaps the outstanding gold dis-
covery made in Northwest Territories in 1939. Kim vein dips 50 degrees and drifts at vertical
depths of 115 and 230 feet totalled 1,202 feet when work on the vein stopped in August, 1939. It
is estimated that 27,230 tons of material containing 0-40 ounces of gold a ton (“‘cut’’) would be
available from this vein for milling. Fraser vein dips 47 degrees and to March, 1940 drifts at
vertical depths of 115 and 230 feet totalled 712 feet. An ore shoot in this vein averages 313 feet
long and 2-3 feet wide and it is estimated that 18,600 tons containing 0-83 ounces of gold a ton
(“cut”) would be available from this vein for milling. The company is considering the advis-
ability of erecting a mill. Electric power would probably be available near Yellowknife Bay,
about 28 miles to the west.
No work was done at the property of Camlaren Mines, Limited in 1939 and some machinery
was removed from the property. Previous underground work to a depth of 350 feet indicated
13,177 tons of material containing 0-62 ounces of gold a ton (‘‘cut’’).
About twenty men were employed for four months by Dome Mines, Limited, on the 8.DC.
group near Pensive Lake. Surface sampling in 1938 indicated an average gold content of 0-24
ounces a ton throughout a quartz body 225 feet long and 23 feet wide but further work failed to
locate ore and work was stopped in July, 1939.
A two-ton mill was operated from August to December by Harry A. Ingraham Trust near
Pensive Lake. Spectacular gold ore from a quartz stringer was treated and about 20 ounces of
gold were recovered during the first month of operation.
No other properties in Beaulieu River area had advanced beyond the early prospect stage by
the end of 1939.
Great Slave Lake.—The property of Slave Lake Gold Mines, Limited on Outpost Islands
remained idle but is reported to have been sampled with the purpose of locating tungsten ore.
Wray Lake.—About 840 claims were recorded from this district and most of them were
staked before midsummer. Very little prospecting was done here in the late summer. About
1,600 pounds of spectacular gold ore from the Ann group wes shipped by airplane to Yellowknife
for treatment.
The following information was supplied by the Mining Recorder, Fort Smith, N.W.T.:—
“The population in the Yellowknife area during the summer of 1939 would approximate
1,400, decreasing to 1,000 during the winter... . Sub-mining recorders are located at Ed-
monton, Alberta and Yellowknife, Simpson, Aklavik and Coppermine in the Northwest
Territories in addition to the mining recorder’s offices at Fort Smith and Port Radium....
Aeroplane transportation was maintained by the MacKenzie Air Service, Limited, the
Canadian Airways, Limited, and Peace River Airways. The winter landing field at Wrigley
has been improved, also Fort Smith, Resolution and Fitzgerald. Improvements at Yellow-
knife settlement undertaken by the Government last summer include roads and the installation
of a water system for the residents of Yellowknife.”
Yukon
(G. A. Jeckell, Controller, Yukon Territory)
During the twelve months ending March 31, 1940 there were fifty-one quartz grants issued
in the Dawson District and two hundred and twenty-eight claims were renewed.
In the Mount Free Gold District, Mr. T. C. Richards continued operations on the LaForma
mine under the name of Carmocks Exploration. A road was constructed during August and
September 1939 from a point on the Overland road Whitehorse to Dawson, to the LaForma mine
on Mount Free Gold. Production for the year amounted to 1,147 ounces of gold.

THE COPPER-GOLD-SILVER MINING INDUSTRY
The mining of ‘“copper-gold-silver” ores in Canada during 1939 was confined to the provinces
of Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. It is to be noted that in addition
to the copper recovered from ores of this type there is a very large and increasing quantity of the
metal obtained in the smelting and refining of the copper-nickel ores mined in the Sudbury area
of Ontario; increasing quantities of gold and silver are also being extracted from these copper-
nickel ores. General statistics relating to labour, etc., in the nickel-copper industry are not
included in this chapter. .
Mining operations conducted on Canadian copper-gold-silver deposits during 1939 were

reported by 28 firms compared with 37 in 1938. The gross value of crude ore, concentrates, etc.,
shipped in 1939 from the mines and mills to smelters was estimated at $51,161,468; the cost of
fuel, purchased electricity, process supplies, freight and smelter treatment totalled $24,978,891
and the net value of shipments was estimated at $26,182,577.
During the year under review the industry provided employment for 6,083 persons and
distributed $9,920,591 in salaries and wages.
The statistics as herein shown under the copper-gold-silver mining industry refer only to
mines and mills and are not inclusive of data pertaining to the operation of smelters and refineries.
Statistics relating to the reduction of non-ferrous ores are recorded under the non-ferrous smelting
and refining industry.
Quebec (A. O. Dufresne, Director of Quebec Bureau of Mines).—‘The gold production of

mining companies operating in Western Quebec on complex sulphide ores which also yield base
metals, represented approximately 28 per cent of the 1939 production. Five mines contributed
to it: the Horne mine, of Noranda Mines, Limited; the Normetal mine, of Normetal Mining
Corporation Limited; the Aldermac mine, of Aldermac Copper Corporation, Limited; the Waite
mine and the Amulet mine, both operated by the Waite Amulet Mines, Limited. Of these, the
Horne mine is the largest gold producer in Quebec, and the third largest in Canada.
“Operations at the Horne mine of Noranda Mines Limited continued at full capacity of mill
and smelter without interruption throughout 1939, and the sinking of a new internal shaft was
commenced with the 6,000-foot horizon as objective: a pyrite recovery plant was added to the
concentrator. ‘The Waite section of Waite Amulet Mines, Limited was in steady production,
and two new 1,000-foot shafts were completed at the Amulet section to develop the big, lower “A”
orebody. The Aldermac concentrator continued to treat 1,000 tons of ore per day, and the lower
part of No. 4 orebody was developed for sub-level mining by vertical diamond drilling. In spite
of an inadequate power supply, operations at the Normetal mine were satisfactory, and develop-
ments on the new lower levels indicate a very promising future for this property.”
Shortly after the declaration of war, Noranda Mines Limited, along with a number of other
Canadian producers, entered into an agreement with the Ministry.of Supply of His Majesty’s
Government in the United Kingdom for the supply of approximately 80 per cent of the Company’s
copper production during the period September 1, 1939 to September 30, 1940, which agreement
is renewable at the option of the purchaser for the duration of the war. The price under such °
agreement is approximately that received by the Company at the time war was declared and
delivery is made in Canada. As the Normetal Mining Corporation Limited and Waite Amulet
Mines, Limited, made similar agreements with the British Government, copper concentrate from
these Companies was, since September 1, treated on a toll basis, while prior to the war all customs
concentrate was purchased outright. A similar smelting contract on a toll basis was since entered
into with Aldermac Copper Corporation, Limited, and since February 1, 1940, this Company’s
copper concentrate has been smelted at Noranda.
In the Eastern townships, the Eustis mine, near the city of Sherbrooke, was operated by the
Consolidated Copper and Sulphur Company, producing copper concentrate and pyrite concentrate.
During the first half of 1939, the work carried out consisted mainly of mining pillars of old stopes
on several levels, preparatory to the closing of the mine on November 30. During the period of
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA ¥9
1939 operations, 44,957 tons of ore were milled from which were produced 5,155 tons of copper
concentrates and 24,643 tons of iron pyrites concentrates. All copper concentrates were shipped
to a smelter in the U.S.A. The Eustis mine was first opened in 1865 and was Canada’s oldest
producing mining property at the time of its closing down.
Manitoba and Saskatchewan.—During 1939 the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting
Company, Limited, mined, from both open pit and underground, a total of 1,721,752 tons of ore
and milled 1,721,783 tons averaging, per ton, copper 2-01 per cent; zinc, 4-14 per cent; gold
0-106 ounces; silver, 1-59 ounces. From this tonnage milled and from 47 tons of purchased
custom ore (assaying 1-086 ounces gold, 0-13 ounces silver) there were produced 56,577,498
pounds of copper, 77,580,748 pounds of zinc, 135,230 ounces gold, 1,869,955 ounces silver, 140,438
pounds of cadmium and 64,692 pounds of selenium. In addition, the company smelted on toll
61,890 tons of concentrates. The principal development during the year was that carried on in
the southern portion of the mine below the 2,210 foot level. This work confirmed previous
results that the ore in this area on the 2,500, 2,750 and 3,000 foot levels, as compared with average
of the mine as a whole, is higher in grade and fully as wide, and the year’s work increased the
estimated length from the figure reported in 1938 to approximately 1,000 feet. The Company’s
production of copper and zinc, after providing for domestic requirements, was contracted to the
British Ministry of Supply at prices approximately those prevailing at the outbreak of the war.
Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. conducted continuous mining and milling operations throughout
1939. All of the 622,959 tons of ore mined and hoisted during the year came from the West Mine
where the bulk of the year’s development was carried on. A total of 622,959 tons (dry) of ore
was milled containing 2-768 per cent copper, 0-0187 ounces gold per ton and 0-626 ounces of
silver per ton. Concentrates were shipped to Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Company’s Flin
Flon smelter. Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. reported its production in 1939 at 31,281,982 pounds
of copper; 7,386 ounces of gold and 256,342 ounces of silver. Ore reserves of the Company as at
December 31, 1939, were reported as follows: 4,860,000 tons containing 2-38 per cent copper
2-81 per cent zinc; 0-017 ounces gold per ton and 0-57 ounces of silver. In common with other
Empire copper producers, the Company, after the outbreak of the war, entered into an agreement
with the British Government under which approximately 76 per cent of the Company’s normal
production is sold to the Ministry of Supply at a fair price. |The balance of production is sold
in Canada.
British Columbia.—The Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company
operated the Copper Mountain mine at capacity. A total of 1,451,491 tons of ore was milled,
giving a total of 33,416,870 pounds of copper, 12,310 ounces of gold and 242,115 ounces of silver
produced. The Company is giving thought and study to the possible construction of smelter
facilities.
In the Phoenix area concentrates from 17,960 tons of ore from the Brooklyn and Granby
mines were shipped to Tacoma.
From the Rossland properties of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, leasers
shipped 9,434 tons of ore. On Surf Inlet the mine and mill of Surf Inlet Consolidacved Gold Mines
Ltd. were reported as being in continuous operation during 1939; 27,264 tons of ore were milled
and 2,759 tons of copper concentrates shipped to a United States smelter.
The Britannia Mining and Smelting Company operated at capacity, milled 2,112,784 tons
of ore. The Annual Report of the Howe Sound Company reported on Britannia operations as
follows:
“The milling rate was maintained on the same level as in 1938, and the improvements made
during that year in modernizing the plant were reflected in better metallurgical results. While
exploration work was pressed in all sections of the properties, the principal concentration of effort
was on the main, 4,100 foot adit, level and the workings adjacent thereto. A very considerable
footage was driven, supplemented by diamond drilling. An interesting mineralized zone of com-
mercial importance has been outlined on the horizon of the 4,100 foot level but headings on other
horizons were not completed during the year. Production from the orebody containing somewhat
more than normal gold content continued throughout the year and contributed materially to the
profitable results obtained from the operation.” (Philip B. Freeland)

in the production of blister or anode copper; also the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary passes through the Flin Flon mine.
CHAPTER III
THE SILVER MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA
(a) The Silver-Cobalt Mining Industry; (b) The Silver-Lead-Zine Mining Industry.
Definition of the Industry.—Silver Mining in Canada is not a distinct mining industry in

as much as silver or silver-bearing minerals usually occur in association with other metals of
economic value—with lead and zinc; with cobalt, nickel and arsenic; with lode and placer free
gold; in copper-gold and nickel-copper ores, and at Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories with
uranium and radium. Silver-lead-zine mining is a very important industry in British Columbia
and, to a lesser extent, in the Yukon Territory. In Eastern Canada, ores containing lead and
zine have been mined in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
It is to be noted that, in addition to its recovery from silver-lead ores, zinc is now produced
in large quantities from the copper-gold-silver ores of the Flin Flon mine, a property located on the
Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary. Zinc concentrates have been produced in British Columbia
from copper-gold-silver ores by the Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.; the metal also occurs
with copper-gold-silver ores in Quebec and commercial shipments of zinc concentrates made from
these particular ores have been made yearly since 1937.
Statistical data contained in this chapter are essentially those pertaining to the mining of
silver-cobalt and silver-lead-zine ores and, to a lesser extent, silver-pitchblende ores.
(a) The Silver-Cobalt Mining Industry

The mining of silver-cobalt ores in Canada is confined to the district of Temiskaming in
Northern Ontario. Veins containing these metals were discovered at or near the present town of
Cobalt in 1903 and shipments of ores from this area have been continuous since 1904. Depletion
and exhaustion of ore reserves during recent years have resulted in a relatively great decline
in
the production of metals from these deposits. During the past few years the greater part of the
output of silver-cobalt ores in Northern Ontario has originated in the Miller-Lake O’Brien mine,
Gowganda, and the O’Brien mine, Cobalt. In most instances, operations at other properties,
some of which were prominent as producers in the past, were conducted by lessees and shipments
ranged from one to several hundred tons. The increased demand for cobalt as an alloying metal
has, for some years, stimulated operations of a salvage nature at several of the older mines.
The Ontario Department of Mines referred to the industry early in 1940 as follows:—
“Stimulated by the demands of the war, the silver-cobalt industry received a new lease
on
life in 1939, and cobalt, the alloy metal, was the most sought of the several minerals occurring in
the complex ores of Cobalt, Gowganda, and South Lorrain. In 1938 production was reported
from 35 properties only. In 1939, returns were received covering the output of ores from more
than 50 properties.
“Shipments of ore and concentrates from Cobalt in 1939 over the T. and N.O. railway totalled
2,368-44 tons, as against 1,975-62 tons in 1938. The shipments were made up of 947-39 tons of
silver ore and 1,421-05 tons of cobalt ore. The destinations of these*shipments were: the
Deloro
Smelting and Refining Company at Deloro, Ontario ; Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company
at ‘Tadanac, B.C.; the Noranda Mines at Noranda, Quebec, in Canada; and J. A. Samuels, New
York; Shepherd Chemical Company, Norwood, Ohio; Philip Brothers, New York; Frankel
Brothers, Ltd., Detroit; and Smith Brokerage, New York, in the United States.
“In the fall of the year the O’Brien interests stopped operations at their two mines,
the
O’Brien at Cobalt and the Miller Lake O’Brien at Gowganda. Operation of the O’Brien mine
ceased officially on January 13, 1940, and on the 16th of the same month it was announced
that
four employees of the mine had leased the Cross Lake workings of the old O’Brien mine from
their
former employers.
“Tn an effort to find additional cobalt-bearing deposits, the Minister of Mines, Honourable
Paul Leduc, has directed the Provincial Geologist to have a re-examination made of the Cobalt
and nearby areas. Geological investigations carried out in the past in these areas were concerned
principally with the silver possibilities, cobalt being of little economic value. The situation is
now different, and the widespread demand for this metal along with the diminishing known
reserves are the reasons which prompted the Minister of Mines to take action. The survey will
be carried out in the early summer.”

(b) The Silver-Lead-Zinc Mining Industry
In 1939 the silver-lead-zine mining industry of Canada reported 82 operators

or firms as being
actively engaged in the mining, prospecting or development of silver-lead-
zine deposits and of
these operators 68 reported commercial shipments during the year under review.
Nova Scotia.—Production of silver-lead-zinc ores in Nova Scotia in 1939

represented only
shipments of copper-lead and zine concentrates made from stock accumulated
at the Stirling
mine during previous mining operations. The Stirling mine is now inactive and milling ceased
February, 13th, 1938.
New Brunswick.—The New Brunswick Department of Lands and Mines
reported that
several lead and zinc bearing deposits were examined at Elmtree and Quispamsis
. No further
work was done on the largest known deposit which was drilled by the Tetagouche
Exploration
Company in 1938.
At Elmtree in Gloucester county, four diamond drill holes totalling 1,111 feet
were sunk but
the results of the drilling are not available. At Quispamsis mineralization appears to be of two
types: ore consisting of galena, sphalerite and pyrite replacing limestone,
the other made up of
granite replaced by pyrite along joint planes. Sampling of these deposits
was discouraging and
no further work was undertaken. During 1939 some surveying was conducted at the Teahan
mine located at New Ireland in Albert county; this deposit contains
galena, sphalerite, chal-
copyrite and pyrite.
Quebec.—Some prospecting and trenching of lead-zine deposits occurring

in the Grand
Cascapedia district of Gaspé and Bonaventure counties were reported
in 1939. . No shipments
or underground work were recorded. Only pumping and ordinary maintenance operations were
reported from the Tetreault mine, at Montauban les Mines ; no ore was
mined, milled or shipped.
At Calumet Island in the Ottawa River, Calumet Mines Ltd. actively pursued
the exploration
of its property by intensive diamond drilling. It is reported that favourable
results have attended
the drilling and that closely spaced holes have indicated the presence
of over one million tons of
ore with average tenor; zinc, 8-9 per cent; lead, 2-8 per cent; gold, 0-43
ounces, and silver slightly
more than 5-0 ounces per ton.
Ontario.—Some development work was conducted at the Lennox mine located
near Enter-
prise in the county of Lennox and Addington. Approximately fifty tons of ore were mined but
no commercial shipments were reported.
In Deroche township, Algoma district, surface mining operations were reported
by the Algoma
Galena Co. A sample shipment consisting of sixty-two tons of crude silver-lead
ore was made to
a smelter in New Jersey, U.S.A.
British Columbia.—The quantity of silver-lead-zine ores mined in British Columbia in

1939 totalled 2,108,340 short tons, or 96 per cent of the total tonnage of such ores mined in the
entire Dominion. The gross value of shipments of these ores during 1939 amounted to $15,614,015
and the net value of same was estimated at $12,275,715. The industry in British Columbia
provided employment to 1,356 persons and distributed $2,103,882 in salaries and wages.
While silver-lead ores are rather widely distributed over certain districts of the province, the
major production has originated for several years in the great Sullivan mine of the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. Many of the smaller properties are operated
under lease by a relatively small number of miners or prospectors; ore shipments from such
properties are usually consigned to the Trail smelter or to metallurgical plants located in the
northwestern part of the United States.
The following information is from the 1939 annual report of the Consolidated Mining and
Smelting Company of Canada Ltd.:—‘‘Costs per ton of ore mined at the Sullivan were up slightly
over 1938 due chiefly to the lower tonnage mined, holiday payments and a much higher silicosis
assessment. The grade of ore mined was somewhat higher than in 19388... ore development has
kept well ahead of production. Despite the 10 per cent curtailment in common with other large
lead producers, the tonnage smelted was an all-time record due to smelting a charge of lower lead
content. Operations in the zine plant were very satisfactory and several new records were made.
An antimony reduction plant was built to work up an accumulation of antimony-arsenic flue dust
and the development of an improved process on a semi-commercial scale for the production of
magnesium was successfully concluded.
“Compared with 1938, sales and deliveries of our various products showed large increases in both
tonnage and dollar value—$35,000,000 against $28,000,000. . . . The production of the Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. in lead and zine alone is greater now
than the entire tonnage of all base metals refined in the British Empire in 1914. All of this zine
and most of the lead not required for Canada is taken by the British Government. . . . There was
little change from the previous year in Canadian sales of fertilizer products, the volume as usual.
being largely controlled by the purchasing power of the Prairie farmers. Sulphur sales also
showed an improvement over past years and present conditions point to a continuation of the
demand. As usual, our silver commanded a ready sale and was disposed of mostly in the United
States. There was a stronger demand for bismuth during 1939 but cadmium and antimony
_ were not so active.”
Yukon.—In the Mayo district, Wernecke mines were operated continuously throughout
1939 by the Treadwell Yukon Corporation Limited; ore treated in the 150 ton mill of the company
totalled 54,294 short tons and 6,451 tons of lead concentrates were produced. Concentrates
together with some crude lead ore were shipped to the Bunker Hill smelter, Bradley, Idaho, U.S.A.
Northwest Territories.—Eldorado Gold Mines Ltd. reported that in 1939 there were 33,373
tons of ore sent to the mill and 1,057 tons of concentrates produced having an estimated gross
value of $2,391,325. It was stated that ore reserves at the mine were maintained throughout
the year and are now ample for the operation of the present mill for the next four years. Ship-
ments received from the mine at the radium refinery located in Port Hope, Ontario amounted to
522 tons of pitchblende concentrates. Silver-copper concentrates were also shipped from the
mine to a smelter in the United States.

ARSENIC
Production of arsenic in Canada during 1939 totalled 1,741,917 pounds valued at $52,257
compared with 2,175,646 pounds at $56,538 in the preceding year. During recent years arsenic
has been produced only by the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company Limited in its plant located
at Deloro, Ontario. It is recovered by this company entirely in the treatment of silver-cobalt
ores mined in Northern Ontario. Production figures as published represent the element in the
form of arsenious acid or white arsenic.
Commercial production of new arsenic in all forms from Canadian ores since 1885 to the end of
1939 amounted to 67,293 short tons valued at $6,528,861. The largest annual output occurred
in 1918 in which year 3,560 short tons worth $563,639 were recorded. Arsenic is often a con-
stituent of gold ores and has been commercially recovered from auriferous ores mined in Nova
Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia. Arsenical gold ores are now being treated at mines located
in Northwestern Quebec and in the Thunder Bay District of Ontario. During 1939 Beattie Gold
Mines Ltd., Duparquet, Quebec produced 1,460 short tons of arsenic (As.0;) and the O’Brien
Gold Mines Ltd., Cadillac township, Quebec, 243 short tons of crude arsenic. No commercial
shipments of arsenic were reported by either company during the year under review.
The United States Bureau of Mines reported the distribution of sales of domestic arsenic in
the United States during 1938 as follows: Insecticides, 47 per cent; weed killer, 30; wood pre-
servative, 3; glass manufacture, 2; and miscellaneous, 1. Regulations in the United States to
protect the consuming: public require that foodstuffs not only be free from insects but of poisonous
insecticidal residues. The latter requirement has stimulated some substitution of organic in-
secticides less toxic to man for poisonous arsenicals. Metallic arsenic is used as a metal hardener,
as flux and in certain alloys; arsenical compounds are used rather extensively in medicinal prepara-
tions. In 1939 white arsenic: quotations’ at New York remained at the low price of 3 cents per
pound, carload lots.

COBALT
Production of cobalt in Canada during 1939 totalled 732,561 pounds valued at $1,213,454
compared with 459,226 pounds worth $790,913 in 1938. The Canadian output of cobalt comes
entirely from the silver-cobalt deposits of northern Ontario and includes cobalt recovered and
sold in the metallic state, the cobalt content of oxides and salts made and sold and the metal
content of cobaltiferous ores exported.
There is at present only one smelter in Canada treating cobalt ores; this is the plant of the
Deloro Smelting and Refining Company, Limited, located at Deloro, Ontario. This Company
produced mixed nickel and cobalt oxides at Deloro for the first time in 1910. Continuous opera-
tions were conducted by the Company throughout 1939 and production included cobalt metal,
cobalt salts, cobalt oxide, arsenic and silver bullion. Ores and concentrates treated at the Deloro
smelter in 1939 came almost entirely from the silver-cobalt mines of Northern Ontario. It is
also interesting to note that in 1939, for the first time, cobalt residues were received by the Deloro
Smelting and Refining Company, Limited from Northern Rhodesia. These residues will be
treated by the Company for the recovery of the cobalt content. Since 1904, the first year for
which cobalt production was recorded in Canada, there were produced, to the end of 1989, in all
forms, 33,063,655 pounds valued at $31,921,836. The outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 was
reflected in both an increased demand and price for cobalt.
The following information is from the 1989 Minerals Yearbook of the United States Bureau
of Mines:—‘‘Consumption of cobalt in the United States in 1939, as indicated by imports, in-
creased substantially; as in the past, the demand was supplied by imports, as there was no domestic
output. Probably as a result of shipping costs and war-risk insurance, domestic quotations for
97 to 99 per cent metal in iots of 100 pounds or more were advanced during the latter part of October
to $1.50 a pound from $1.36 and black oxide (70 to 71 per cent grade) in lots of 350 pounds or more
to $1.84 a pound from $1.67. World production may be roughly estimated at 6,000 metric tons
in 1939 compared with 4,500 tons in 1938. Output in Northern Rhodesia was two and a half
times that in 1938. In 1939 imports of ore into the United States gained 36 per cent, metal 127
per cent and oxide 82 per cent.
‘As a result of extensive research, the use of cobalt continues to expand, consequently world
production has increased greatly. Cobalt oxide is used in the ceramic industry ;cobalt salts in the
preparation of driers for use in paints, varnishes, and linoleums and as a catalyst; and cobalt
metal in various types of high-grade steels (especially metal cutting and magnet steels), as a
catalyst, and in electroplating. Lack of statistics on the production of cobalt in the Belg'an
Congo, one of the chief producers, and in several smaller producing countries, precludes an accurate
statement of total world output. The Rhokana Corporation Ltd., Northern Rhodesia, sold 1,124
short tons of cobalt in alloy and refined products during the year ended June 30, 1939; the cobalt
plant during this period produced 4,511 short tons of alloy containing 1,761 tons of cobalt com-
pared with 2,854 tons of alloy containing 1,183 tons of cobalt during the corresponding fiscal
year 1938.
“In 1938 the output in Italy of ores containing nickel and cobalt increased to 13,421 tons, of
which 130 tons contained 14 to 16 per cent nickel and 2 to 6 per cent cobalt; cobalt is also said to
be obtained through electrolysis of certain zine ores that average 50 grams of cobalt per ton.
Production of cobalt ore in French Morocco was 2,880 metric tons during the first six months of
1939 and exports were 3,833 metric tons; the producing mines are about 155 miles west of Agadir
in the Atlas Mountains; cobalt occurs on the surface in the form of erythrite and at depth in the
form of smaltite. Imports of cobalt metal into the United States from Finland declined to 219,716
pounds in 1939 from 240,575 pounds in 1988.
“The United States, a large consumer of cobalt, has thus far failed to develop substantia
supplies, but recent developments raise the hope that the United States may yet produce cobalt
in commercial quantities; experiments on recovery of cobalt from the iron ores mined at Cornwall,
Pa., were carried on during 1939. Cobalt, which has been long known to occur as a minor con-
stituent of these iron ores, has been found in increased amounts in the ore bodies now being
mined.”
a DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS
“Metal and Mineral Markets””—New York, reported prices as follows: May, 1940—Cobalt
metal imported from Belgium, 97 to 99 per cent $2.11 per pound for small lots, spot;
on lots of
100 pounds or more $1.50; corresponding prices, August, 1939 were $1.92 and $1.36.

SILVER
Production of newly mined silver in Canada in 1939 totalled 23,163,629 fine ounces valued
at $9,378,490 compared with 22,219,195 fine ounces at $9,660,239 in 1938. The average price
of the metal in Canadian funds was 40-488 cents per fine ounce in 1939 as against 43-47 cents in
1938. The greatest annual production of silver in Canada was in 1910 in which year an output
of 32,869,264 fine ounces was recorded; the highest average yearly price per fine ounce for the
metal in Canada was 111-122 cents in 1919. Production of silver in Canada since 1887, the first
year for which data are available, to the close of 1939 totalled 783,664,989 fine ounces valued at
$454,691,137.
“Handy and Harman”, New York, in their review of the silver market for 1939, state: “The
story of silver for 1939 may be divided into three chapters. The first covers the period from the
beginning of the year to June 26 during which prices for silver of foreign origin were stablized by
United States government purchases at 43 cents. The second chapter comprises the four-month
period of world market fluctuations which commenced on June 27 with a reduction in the Treasury’s
buying rate, continued through the early weeks of the war, and ceased at the end of October when
imports of silver were prohibited from entering England and India except under license. The
third chapter extends from October 30 to the close of the year. During most of this final period
two silver markets existed—the World market represented by the United States government
price of 35 cents, and the Anglo-Indian market represented by sterling and rupee quotations. . . .
We estimate that United States government purchases for 1939 at 341,400,000 ounces, of which
amount 60,600,000 ounces were derived from domestic ores. The balance of 280,800,000 ounces
consisted of foreign silver purchased under inter-government agreements and in open market, plus
a negligible 500,000 ounces received in miscellaneous deposits at the mints and assay offices.
The past year’s acquisitions, added to the 2,588,600,000 ounces on hand at the beginning of the
year, make a total of 2,930,000,000 ounces, which represents our estimate of United States Treas-
ury silver holdings at December 31, 1939, including coin in circulation. . . Once again the year-end
figures proclaim the futility of attempting to meet the requirements of the Silver Purchase Act
that “one-fourth of the total monetary value of gold and silver stocks shall be in silver.” After
five and one-half years of operation and after more than 2,200,000,000 ounces of silver have been
bought, the goal set by the Act is actually 291,000,000 ounces farther away than it was when the
legislation was passed in June, 1934... . We estimate that 34,000,000 ounces of silver were used
in 1939 by the arts and industries in the United States and Canada—increases were approximately
as follows: sterling silverware, 20 per cent; silver plated ware 30 per cent; motion pictures, 10 per
cent; for jewelry the increase was only slight, but in dental trade it reached more than 50 per
cent. In the purely industrial field, as distinct from the arts, there was a marked increase in
consumption. . . . Reports covering silver coinage indicate a comparatively small world consump-
tion for that purpose during 1939—a total of 8,900,000 ounces ...”’.
“Metal and Mineral Markets,” New York, in its issue of May 16, 1940, stated: ‘The United
States Senate, on May 9, voted 45 to 36 to end the acquisition of foreign silver.
The Tounsend
Bill, the measure presented to Congress to end such purchases, will now
be sent to the House of
Representatives. However, before the House acts upon the measure, it will go to the House
Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures .. .”.

LEAD
The quantity of new lead produced in Canada during 1939 and inclusive of the recoverable
metal contained in ores exported totalled 388,569,550 pounds valued at $12,313,768 compared with
418,927,660 pounds worth $14,008,941 in 1938.
Of the total Canadian production of lead in 1939, the mines of British Columbia accounted
for 378,440,666 pounds or 97 per cent, and of this quantity the Sullivan mine, of the Consolidated
Mining and. Smelting Company of Canada Limited contributed by far the larger part. The
production of refined primary lead by the Company in its Trail plants during 1939 totalled
381,137,424 pounds compared with 400,763,914 pounds in 1988.
The Mining Journal, London, reported as follows: ‘In Germany the drive for expansion of
domestic production continued and the exploitation of low-grade properties in the Tyrol and
Nassereith was begun. Since the outbreak of the war the British Contraband control must have
had a telling effect on Germany’s lead supplies. Greater Germany normally requires about
250,000 tons of lead annually, but domestic prodyction of recoverable lead probably does not
normally exceed 100,000 tons. The remainder of Germany’s lead supplies are obtained from
imported concentrates and imported metal. The bulk of these imports are obtained from over-
seas and the only really large tonnage of lead concentrates available in neighbouring countries is
the Trepea output in Yugoslavia’.

garding base metals supplies. The position was completely changed by 1939. In 1914 the Em-
pire produced 646 short tons per day of lead and zinc, whereas in 1938 the corresponding output
was 2,438 short tons. Failing an Empire supply in 1914 the British were forced to buy metal
wherever it could be had. Full advantage was taken of the market and prices reached 274 cents
a pound for zinc against a normal price of 4 to 5 cents and 123 cents per pound for lead against a
normal of 3 to 4 cents. |
“At the commencement of the present war in September 1939 the Consolidated Mining and
Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd. joined with other Empire producers in accepting what might
be called a virtual conscription of their metal production, assuring the British Government of
prices considerably below normal for the metal needed for the war. The terms of the contracts
protect the companies from all shipping risks and as to prices are considered fair and reasonable
under the circumstances. It is believed the Empire will be able to supply all of the lead, zine,
copper and nickel required.” (Cons. M. & S. Co. of Can. Ltd).

ZINC
Production of zine from Canadian ores during 1939 totalled 394,533,860 pounds valued at
$12,108,244 compared with 381,506,588 pounds worth $11,723,698 in 1938. The quantity
produced in 1939 was an all-time high record; however, the value of output was surpassed by that
of the 1937 production owing to the decline from a price per pound of 4-90 cents in 1937 to 3-07
cents in 1939. Of the total production in 1939, the mines of British Columbia, chiefly the Sullivan,
contributed 279,041,497 pounds, or 71 per cent. The production in British Columbia represents
the recovery of the metal almost entirely in the refined state from silver-lead-zine ores, whereas
the recorded output of zinc in 1939 for Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Quebec represents the
recovery of zinc chiefly in the refined state from copper-gold-silver ores. Zinc production credited
to Nova Scotia in 1939 represented the recoverable metal contained in silver-lead-copper-zine
concentrates exported from old stock accumulated at the Stirling mine.
According to the Mining Journal, London, the outbreak of war dislocated the world zine
industry far more than the lead industry owing to the custom smelter problems which arose.
Belgium, Holland and Norway all relied on imported zine concentrates obtained chiefly from
overseas. In Germany, domestic production continued to expand and the capture of the Polish
zine smelters (in good working order) made the third Reich easily the first European producer of
metallic zine.

CHAPTER FOUR
THE NICKEL-COPPER INDUSTRY IN CANADA

1. Definition of the Industry.
2. General Review.
3. Commodity statistics, including tables showing production by provinces, imports, exports,
prices and world output of nickel, copper and metals of the platinum group.
1. Definition of the Industry
The nickel-copper industry in Canada includes the mining, smelting and, to a certain extent,
the refining of the nickel-copper ores of the Sudbury district in the province of Ontario. Smelting
and copper refining operations are carried on in close proximity to the mines; nickel refining is
conducted at Port Colborne, Ontario. Matte is exported for treatment in plants at Huntington,
West Virginia, U.S.A., and Clydach, Wales; during recent years matte was also exported to
Norway, however, exports to that country ceased after its invasion by Germany in 1940.
As thus described, the industry in Canada constitutes the national source of nickel, most of
the platinum group metals and a large part of the Canadian copper production. Gold, silver,
tellurium and selenium in increasing quantities are also recovered from these ores.
Mines in the copper-gold-silver group also contribute largely to the total Dominion copper
output; ores from these properties contain, in the aggregate, about 11 per cent of the annual
gold production. The activities of the copper-gold mines are reviewed in the chapter on the
gold mining industry. Production and trade statistics on nickel, copper and the metals of the
platinum group are given in this chapter.
General Review
The production of new nickel in Canada during 1939 totalled 226,105,865 pounds valued at
$50,920,305 compared with 210,572,738 pounds worth $53,914,494 in 1938. Almost the entire
production of Canadian nickel in 1939 originated in the nickel-copper ores of the Sudbury district,
Ontario, and represented the recovery of the metal in the refined state, in oxides and salts, and
in matte exported. In addition to the nickel obtained from the Sudbury ores, there is a relatively
small quantity of the metal recovered annually in the treatment of silver-cobalt ores from the
Cobalt district of Northern Ontario. The quantity of nickel produced from Canadian ores during
the year under review was the greatest in the history of the industry. Copper recovered in 1939
from nickel-copper ores totalled 328,144,517 pounds valued at $32,608,528 or 53-9 per cent and
53-5 per cent respectively of the total quantity and value of new copper produced from all sources
in the Dominion in 1939. The nickel-bearing deposits of the Sudbury area also contain relatively
high values in platinum metals which are recovered in refining operations.
In addition to production of nickel, copper, and the platinum metals, there is an important
recovery from these ores of the associated metals—silver, gold, selenium and tellurium ; sulphur
for the manufacture of sulphuric acid is also salvaged in the gaseous state from waste smelter
gases. ‘The total gross value of the various primary products of the Canadian industry, considered
as a whole, was estimated at $95,714,524 in 1989 compared with $96,309,239 in 1938. Silver
recovered by the industry in 1939 amounted to 2,496,632 fine ounces, while the production of
gold during the same period totalled 77,094 fine ounces. In 1926 the corresponding production
of gold from these same ores was only 4,447 fine ounces. g
Two companies operated both mines and metallurgical plants in the Sudbury area. The
International Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited, conducts smelting operations at Copper Cliff and
Coniston, Ontario, while the Falconbridge Nickel Mines, Ltd., smelt their ores at the Falconbridge
mine located a few miles east of the town of Sudbury. This last named company treated their
matte in a refinery located at Kristiansand, Norway, until the invasion of that country by Germany
in 1940. The relatively small amount of nickel oxide produced at Deioro, Ontario, is recovered
from silver-cobalt-nickel-arsenic ores mined in Northern Ontario. Smelter matte made by the
International Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited, is treated in plants located at Clydach, Wales;
Huntington, West Virginia, and at Port Colborne and Copper Cliff, Ontario. Converter copper
made by the International Nickel Co. is electrolytically refined at Copper Cliff.
Capital employed in Canada by the nickel-copper mining, smelting and refining industry dur-
ing 1939 was reported at $128,302,729. Employees totalled 11,494 and $20,557,838 were
distributed as salaries and wages. Fuel and electricity used in 1939 were valued at $7,437,370
and the cost of chemicals, explosives and other process supplies consumed totalled $12,068,595.
Four mines and the Frood open pit were worked continuously by the International Nickel
Co. during 1939; 7,273,835 tons of ore were mined of which 3,200,869 tons came from the Frood,
1,521,694 tons from the Frood open pit, 1,298,752 tons from the Creighton, 926,908 tons from the
Levack and 325,612 tons from the Garson. A program of open pit mining was under way at
the Stobie mine, where a large body of low-grade ore exists.
The International Nickel Company’s concentrator was operated to capacity and 5,876,501
tons of ore were milled, comparable with 4,519,652 tons in 1938. Plans have been approved to
increase the capacity of the concentrator to 20,000 tons per day in order to treat additional ton-
nages of ore from the open pit mining operations. Ore smelting at the Copper Cliff smelter was
uninterrupted and 185,578 tons of bessemer matte and 165,129 tons of converter copper were
produced during the year. The Coniston smelter ran continuously, processing 852,525 tons of
ore and producing 50,587 tons of bessemer matte. At Port Colborne, Ontario, the nickel refinery
produced 131,730,117 pounds of refined nickel, comparable with 124,233,682 pounds in 1938. At
Copper Cliff the electrolytic copper refinery received 165,129 tons of molten converter copper
from the Copper Cliff smelter and produced 150,541 tons of refined copper. In Wales, the nickel
refinery at Clydach produced 48,962,458 pounds of pellet nickel and in addition 1,801,498 pounds
of nickel sulphate; the Orford process plant was in operation during the entire year and the chem-
ical department transferred from Smelthwick was brought into production in March, 1939.
Production of platinum metals at the Acton platinum metals refinery was 4 per cent less than in
1938.
Work on the nickel mine and smelter at Kolosjoki (Petsamo) Finland continued until the
invasion of Finland in November. _ Prior to the occupation of the property by Russian troops,
the Canadian and American employees of the company left for Norway and returned home. Until
the outbreak of hostilities the indications were that the mine would come into production not later
than the early months of 1941.
The total number of employees of the International Nickel Company at the end of 1939 was
18,123 distributed as follows: Canada 11,745; Great Britain, 3,754; United States, 2,585; other
countries, 39. |Employees on December 31, 1938, including 1,457 in Finland, numbered 17,282.
Proven ore reserves at December 31, 1939, excluding Petsamo Nikkeli O/Y (Finland) were
224,594,000 short tons, an increase of 12,226,000 tons over the figures reported a year previous.
The nickel-copper contents of the ore reserves are calculated to be 7,214,000 tons.
Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. reported that in 1939 ore treated totalled 576,801 tons after
deducting 9,848 tons of waste picked and discarded from the hoisted ore, and adjusting for
differences in above-ground storage. This tonnage consisted of 332,724 (57-7 per cent) milling
ore and 244,077 (42-3 per cent) smelting ore. Matte produced totalled 16,965-3 short tons
containing 9,232-5 short tons of nickel and 4,691-9 short tons of copper. Metals recovered per
ton of ore treated were 32-01 pounds of nickel and 16-27 pounds of copper. Ore reserves as of
December 31, 1938 were Falconbridge mine 5,863,000 tons, outside holdings 1,018,000 tons.
New ore added at the Falconbridge mine in 1939 amounted to 1,206,661 tons.
The Falconbridge ore dressing plant, mill and smelter operated throughout 1939 with a
minimum of lost time for interruptions and repairs. The nickel refinery at Kristiansand, Norway,
operated steadily throughout the year, although somewhat hampered by delayed matte ship-
ments during the beginning of the war. The precious metals separating plant, which for some
time had produced pure gold, silver, platinum and palladium, was about ready at the close of the
year for separation of iridium, rhodium and ruthenium. Metals in matte received at the refinery
(less refining losses) during 1939 consisted of 17,346,693 pounds of nickel and 8,601,022 pounds of
copper. Falconbridge and custom refined metals produced in 1939 were 20,113,286 pounds of
nickel and 10,071,269 pounds of copper.
Early in April, 1940 the Kristiansand refinery fell under the control of the German invaders
and Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. later announced that the refinery at that time was unharmed
and that the Germans were probably operating the plant to liquidate its stock of raw material
and metals in process; the Company estimated that it would take five or six months to complete
clean-up operations of this nature. Early in 1940, a first shipment of Falconbridge matte was
made to the International Nickel Company plant at Copper Cliff for testing purposes.
Nickel Offsets Ltd., with properties in the townships of Foy, Bowell and Morgan of the Sud-
bury district, conducted surface operations from May 1 to January 15, 1940 and completed several
thousand feet of diamond drilling. At Yale in British Columbia the Western Nickel Corp.
reported only camp work and supply packing; these operations were carried on during the period
November 28 to December 28, 1939.

The nickel refining capacity of the International Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited, at the
end of 1939 was 50,000,000 pounds per annum at Clydach, Wales, and 150,000,000 pounds
(electrolytic nickel) at Port Colborne, Ontario. In addition, the company has a capacity to
produce 35,000,000 pounds of nickel in the form of oxide, alloys, salts and other forms.
During 1939 there were 300 tons of nickel metal valued at $187,001 consumed in Canada
in the manufacture of alloy steels compared with 290 tons at $176,534 in 1938.
World consumption of nickel increased in 1939 and attained a new peak estimated to be
256,000,000 pounds. Sales by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd., have con-
stituted between 80 and 85 per cent of total world consumption over the period 1935 to 1939
inclusive. The increase in world consumption in 1939 was fairly well distributed among the
principal nickel consuming industries; the steel industry, which continues to absorb over half of
world nickel production, operated in most countries at higher rates during the year and its nickel
requirements were proportionately greater. Some of this increase was undoubtedly attributable
to the accelerated rate of naval construction and armament production. No exports of any of
the International Nickel Company’s nickel, copper or platinum metals were made to any. destina-
tion outside of the British Empire without government sanction.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA | 107
COPPER
Production of new copper in 1939 from all types of Canadian ore, totalled 608,825,570 pounds
valued at $60,934,859. This is the greatest annual output of the metal ever attained by the
Canadian Mining Industry and its value was only exceeded by that of 1937 when production
reached an all time high of $68,917,219. Transposed into Canadian Funds the average price of
copper, based on the London market, was 10-002 cents per pound in 1939 compared with corre-
sponding prices of 9-972 cents in 1938 and 13-078 cents in 1937. In 1939 Canada ranked third
as a world Copper Producing Country, its output being exceeded only by those of the United
States and Chile.
Of the total Canadian Copper output during the year, under review, 505,671,337 pounds
represents the metal contained in blister or anode copper produced in Canadian Smelters, 86,730,679
pounds in ores, concentrates exported and 16,423,559 in nickel-copper matte shipped to plants
outside the Dominion. The Nickel-Copper ores of the Sudbury district of Ontario constituted
the greatest single source of the metal in 1939, production from these ores comprising almost the
entire Ontario output of 328,429,665 pounds. Production in Quebec originated chiefly in the
copper-gold ores of the Horne and other Copper-Gold properties located in the North Western
Part of the Province; the Eustus mine located in South Eastern Quebec and Canada’s oldest
copper producer ceased operations in 1939 owing to exhaustion of ore reserves. The balance of
Canadian Production in 1939 came principally from the Flin Flon mine located on the Manitoba-
Saskatchewan boundary and from the Britannia and Granby (Copper Mountain) mines in
British Columbia. Shipments of concentrates from Stock Piles of the Sterling Mine in Nova
Scotia accounted for 1,269,179 pounds of copper in the total Canadian Production.
The International Nickel Company of Canada Limited reported that World Copper con-
sumption in 1939 exceeded that of any previous year and was estimated to have been in excess of
2,500,000 short tons, as compared with 2,200,000 tons in 1938. A major portion of this increase
occurred in the United States market. In common with other Canadian Copper Producers the
Company, after the beginning of the War, entered into Term Contract with His Majesty’s Ministers
of Supply for the delivery of a substantial tonnage of Copper, in consequence of which its produc-
tion will currently be required for delivery in the United Kingdom and Canada.

METALS OF THE PLATINUM GROUP
The entire output of the metals of this group was derived from the nickel-copper ores of
the Sudbury district in Ontario with the exception of 25 ounces of platinum recovered from
alluvial workings in the Province of British Columbia. The average price of platinum in 1939
on the London market was £7-631 compared with £6-55 in 1938.
Platinum metals contained in matte from Sudbury ores by the International Nickel Company
of Canada Limited are refined at Acton, England, and the same metals contained in matte pro-
duced in the Sudbury area by the Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited were recovered until
the German seizure of the refinery of that company, at Kristiansand, Norway.
International Nickel Company reported that world consumption and production of platinum
- group metals in 1939 were estimated to have been substantially in balance at about 500,000
ounces. Increased demand for platinum metals during the year was apparently well distributed’
among the principal markets, although industrial requirements were somewhat more active than
jewellery and other ornamental requirements. The company’s platinum metals were sold
principally in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The production and use have been
established of platinum-clad base metals in the form of sheet, strip and tubing suitable for chemical
manufacturing equipment and other purposes where substantially incorrodible platinum surfaces
are required at minimum cost. A new development occurred during 1939 in the rayon industry,
where platinum-rhodium spinnerets have taken the place of the older platinum-gold spinnerets.
Platinum has continued its progress in the glass fibre industry, where it is used for extrusion dies
and feeder apparatus. In the electrical and allied fields, palladium, platinum and their alloys,
used for relay contacts and other purposes, play an increasingly important role. The conservation
of gold by many countries is assisting the demand for platinum metals, particularly palladium,
and the use of palladium as a substitute for gold alloys for dental restorations, pen points and
jewellery articles is making substantial headway. Platinum metals requirements for jewellery
during 1939 were perhaps equal to those for 1938.
Canada is at present the largest world producer of the platinum metals. In 1938, the last
year for which complete world data are available, the output of the principal producing countries was
as follows: Canada, 292,203 fine ounces platinum metals; Russia, 120,000 ounces crude platinum;
Union of South Africa, 58,734 ounces (crude and fine) platinum metals, and Colombia 29,460
ounces crude platinum. The United States, in 1938, reported a production of 42,043 ounces of
crude platinum from placers; 7,247 troy ounces from domestic ores, etc. (refineries); and 64,291
troy ounces of secondary platinum metals. The United States is an important refining centre of
both domestic and foreign platinum metals.

CHAPTER FIVE
MISCELLANEOUS METAL MINING INDUSTRIES IN CANADA
Including General Statistics Relating to the Industries in this Group and Commodity Statistics
Showing Production by Provinces, Imports, Exports, Prices and World Output Tables on
Aluminium, Antimony, Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium, Chromite, Iron Ore, Pig Iron and
Ferro-Alloys, Steel and Rolled Products, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Mercury,
Molybdenum, Radium, Selenium, Tantalum, Tellurium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Uranium,
Vanadium and Zirconium.
1. General Review
Metal-bearing minerals, mined in relatively small quantities by a comparatively few oper-

ators, have been grouped by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for consideration as a single
industry. Included with the finally revised statistics relating to the Canadian production, of
these, are notes and statistical data pertaining to various rare or semi-rare metals or metalliferous
ores produced in other countries. Metals or metal-bearing ores produced in Canada during 1939
and calssified as miscellaneous include—antimony, bismuth, cadmium, iron ore, mercury, molyb-
denite, radium and uranium products, selenium, tellurium, tungsten concentrates and titanium —
ore. In addition to particulars relating to these metals or products, the bulletin contains notes
of a summary nature on aluminium, beryl and beryllium, lithium, magnesium, sodium, calcium,
tin, vanadium and zirconium.
It is to be noted that the majority of the metals listed above as Canadian products and
including bismuth, cadmium, selenium and tellurium, represent by-products recovered in the
refining of lead, zinc or copper and, for this reason, such statistics as relate to their production in
Canada are included with those of either the silver-lead-zine mining industry, the copper-gold-
silver industry, or the non-ferrous smelting and refining industry.
ALUMINIUM ty
The reduction of aluminium ores and the production of primary aluminium in Canada is
confined to the province of Quebec. In this province the Aluminum Company of Canada,
Limited, operates an ore treatment plant at Arvida and reduction plants at both Arvida and
Shawinigan Falls. These three plants were in continuous operation throughout 1939. At the
Arvida ore plant concentrates were made from British Guiana bauxite and aluminium ingot was
produced in the two reduction works. The company also operates fabricating plants at Shaw-
inigan Falls, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario, and a new plant for the production of aluminium
products has been constructed by the company at Kingston, Ontario. Data relating to the
aluminium industry are not included with those recorded in tables of this report. Bauxite from
British Guiana, used for the production of aluminium, is washed and dried before being shipped;
at Arvida, Quebec, it is treated by a standard chemical process to remove impurities, and pure
aluminium oxide is recovered. Cryolite, necessary in the production of the metal, is largely
imported from Greenland; synthetic cryolite is also used in making aluminium. A very large
amount of electrical energy is utilized in the production of new aluminium metal from bauxite
concentrates. No bauxite ores are mined in Canada and the principal bauxite producing countries
are—France, Hungary, United States, Yugoslavia, Italy, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, and
Russia.
A report issued by the United States Bureau of Mines contains the following information:—
“Virgin aluminium production in the United States during 1939 was the largest on record. The
1939 peak output of new aluminium amounted to 327,090,000 pounds, valued at $64,600,000.
The large increase in demand for light but strong metal was caused by national preparations for
defence and by the war abroad. In 1939 the aircraft industry consumed twice the amount of
aluminium that it did in 1937, the previous record year. The Aluminum Company of America
announced that there would be no increase in the basic ingot price of 20 cents per pound during
the first quarter of 1940. War time needs caused the largest exportation of aluminium from the
United States in history. Exports of crude and semi-crude aluminium totalled 74,169,742
pounds. The increasing demand for aluminium led the Aluminum Company of America to
announce a $30,000,000 expansion program to begin in 1940. The large consumption of aluminium
in the aircraft industries has resulted in the installation of new production equipmeni and the
accumulation of stocks of standard aircraft products.”

ANTIMONY
Canadian production of virgin antimony during 1939 totalled 1,225,585 pounds valued at
$151,469. Of this the major part represents antimony metal recovered In the metallurgical plants
of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada Limited, located at Trail, British
Columbia. In addition there were relatively small quantities contained in ores exported from
Nova Scotia and British Columbia. Prior to the close of 1938 there had been no commercial
production of antimony metal in Canada since 1917 and no by-product output of the metal
since 1926, in which year it was reported as contained in silver-lead-bismuth bullion produced
from cobalt-silver ores mined in Northern Ontario.
Minerals containing antimony occur in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario,
Manitoba, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. Stibnite (Sb2S3) occurs in the veins of
the Reliance Gold Mines, Bridge River mining district, British Columbia, and in the same province
at the property of the Gray Rock Mining Syndicate in the Truax Creek area, and at the Congress
mine adjoining the Reliance property. Statistics of production relating to antimony output in
British Columbia in 1939 include the metal contained in stibnite ore shipped from the ‘Snowbird
group” located at Stuart Lake near Fort St. James. This ore was exported to a smelter at
Laredo, Texas, U.S.A. Antimony production in Nova Scotia in 1989 represents the metal
contained in auriferous ore exported from old dumps accumulated at a West Gore property.
An antimony reduction plant was built by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited at Trail, British Columbia, to work up an accumulation of antimony arsenic
flue dust.
At the close of 1939 antimony metal was quoted—New York—14 cents per pound. Antimony
ore, per unit of antimony contained, 50 to 55 per cent, $1.50 to $1.60; 58 to 60 per cent, $1.60 to
$1.70; 60 to 65 per cent, $1.80 to $1.90; London, 60 to 65 per cent, 10s. 6d. per long ton unit,

BARIUM
A report on barium minerals by the Imperial Institute, London, contains the following
information:—“‘A series.of lead-calcium-barium alloys known in some cases as Frary metal and
others as Ferry metal, are used for bearing purposes. The amount of barium is about 2 per cent
and the bulk of the alloy is lead. The alloys are manufactured electrolytically from molten
chlorides using a cathode of molten lead, and are used in the same manner as other ‘white’ metals.
Aluminium and barium form a series of alloys which have greater fluidity than pure aluminium.
A range of barium-aluminium and barium-magnesium alloys are being produced by an English
firm under the trade names ‘Baral’ and ‘Barmag’. The proportion of barium varies up to as
much as 50 per cent, but the consumers in the wireless valve trade usually require the ‘Baral’
alloy to contain 45 to 50 per cent of barium and the ‘Barmag’ alloy to carry 25 to 30 per cent
barium. With nickel, barium forms an alloy (0-2 per cent barium) which is stated to exhibit
greater resistance to the action of hot corrosive gases than does pure nickel, and on this account
it has been used for the manufacture of sparking plug electrodes.
“The metal can be prepared by heating barium oxide (BaO) and peroxide (BaOz) to 1350°C.
in an electric furnace, with a metal having a high heat of oxidation, aluminium being suitable for
this purpose. Barium is an extremely active deoxidizer, combines with many gases and in tke
radio industry is inserted, in the form of copper-clad wire, into valves (tubes) to remove the last
traces of gas.”
Barium has been produced in the United States, Germany, France and Great Britain, but not
yet commercially in Canada. ‘‘Mineral Industry” reported in 1936 that the price of barium has
been continuously reduced and it is probably now available at $5.00 per pound or less.
BERYLLIUM
The principal ore of beryllium is the mineral beryl—Be3A1,(Si0;);. There are several known
occurrences of this mineral in Canada and shipments of beryl have been made for experimental
purposes from deposits in Renfrew county, Ontario, and the Oiseau river area in Manitoba.
Beryl usually occurs in pegmatites and is sometimes recovered as a by-product in the mining of the
feldspar and mica content of these rocks. No commercial production of beryl has ever been
officially reported in Canada, however, in 1938, Canadian Beryllium Mines and Alloys Limited,
conducted development work on beryl-feldspar deposits located in Renfrew County, Ontario.
It was reported that the company had some 206 tons of beryllium ore available for treatment
at the close of 1939. No commercial production of beryllium ore in Canada was reported in 1939.
The metal beryllium is used chiefly in the manufacture of copper-beryllium alloys. During recent
years the production of beryllium in the United States came from plants operated by the Beryllium
Corporation of Pennsylvania, Temple, Pennsylvania, and the Brush Beryllium Corporation,
3714 Chester Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. In 1938 it was reported that about one ton of beryllium
worth 3,000 francs per kilogram (about $40 a pound) was being produced annually in France by
electrolysis in a fluoride bath from beryl obtained near Limoges and Autun, supplemented by
supplies from Madagascar; Italy, Japan and possibly other countries are credited with small or
occasional outputs, but Germany and the United States produce the bulk of the world’s beryllium
in the form of alloys. United States output of beryl has been mainly as a by-product of feldspar,
lithium or rare metal mining. An interesting new development is the use of beryllium-copper in
cast-setting diamond core bits and reaming shells.
Engineering and Mining Journal, New York, at the close of 1939 quoted beryllium-copper,
master alloy 4 per cent beryllium, remainder copper, in lots one pound or more of beryllium,
$15 per pound of contained beryllium. Beryllium ore—per ton (2,000 pounds), carload lots,
minimum 10 per cent BeO, $30; minimum 12 per cent, $35 F.O.B.
No imports into Canada of beryllium, described as such, were reported in 1939. It may,
however, enter in the form of special alloys.
BISMUTH
Bismuth production in Canada during recent years represented the metal recovered from
-
silver-lead ores smelted at Trail, British Columbia, and the metal contained in silver-lead-bismuth
bullion produced in the treatment of silver-cobalt ores at Deloro, Ontario. Production in 1939
came entirely from the treatment of silver-lead ores in the Trail smelter and totalled 409,449
pounds valued at $466,362. The total output of bismuth in the Dominion to the close of 1939
amounted to 1,531,752 pounds worth $1,775,768. The largest previous annual production oc-
curred in 1936 in which year 364,165 pounds valued at $360,523 were recovered.
bee Imports of metallic bismuth into Canada in 1939 totalled 10,252 pounds valued at $10,835
compared with 297 pounds at $303 in 1938; these imports came entirely from the United States.
in
Imports of bismuth salts in Canada in 1939 were appraised at $8,671 compared with $16,756
the preceding year.
Bismuth is consumed chiefly in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and alloys. According
ra
rs have
to the United States Bureau of Mines report, pharmaceutical and medicinal manufacture
heretofore used about 75 per cent and low-melting-point and non-shrinking alloys the balance.
The metal is employed in almost all low-melting metallic alloys used for fusible plugs, safety
principal
devices, dental models, soft solders and tempering baths for small tools and pieces. The
used with bismuth are lead, tin and cadmium. ‘The recently developed free-
alloying components
cutting aluminium alloy 118 contains a small percentage of bismuth. Bismuth also is used in
small quantities in iron castings, in special brake linings, in enamelling and the manufacture of
optical glass, in the manufacture of special instruments, and in plastics as bismuth subnitrate.
pound,
“Metal and Mineral Markets”, New York, quoted bismuth metal, September, 1939—per
in ton lots $1.10; London 4s. 6d.

* Bismuth ore is also produced in Germany, Spain and China and the metal recovered as a by-product in the United
Kingdom, Sweden, U.S.S.R. and the United States.
(a) Information not available. (b) Exports.
BORON
According to the United States Bureau of Mines, boron alloys are supplied by United States
manufacturers, small quantities being used in the nonferrous-metals industries and in steel making.
In cast iron, boron opposes graphitization on solidification and exerts an energetic whitening
effect, producing a hard strong iron but reducing malleability.
Boron carbide, boron carbide shapes and calcium boride are now produced in Canada.
CADIUM
Cadmium production in Canada represents the recovery of the metal as a by-product in the
electrolytic refining of zinc. Production up to 1935 came entirely from the treatment of zinc-
bearing ores at Trail, British Columbia, by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited. The commercial production of the metal from the copper-gold-silver-zinc ores
of the Flin Flon mine was commenced in Manitoba for the first time in 1936.
The output of cadmium in the Dominion in 1939 totalled 939,691 pounds valued at $662,209,
compared with 699,138 pounds at $561,799 in 1938; the quantity of the 1939 production was an
all-time high record in Canadian production of the metal; of the 1939 production, 799,253 pounds
valued at $563,241 were credited to British Columbia, 73,830 pounds at $52,029 to Manitoba,
and 66,608 pounds at $46,939 to Saskatchewan. The proportioning between Manitoba and Sask-
atchewan of the cadmium recovered by the Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Company results
rom the interprovincial boundary intersecting the orebody of the Flin Flon mine.
German cadmium production in 1939 was probably well over 400 tons according to the
“Mining Journal,” London. Italian production should have been of the order of 100 tons in 1939.
Cadmium is consumed largely in the manufacture of alloys and for plating, also in the making
of such pigments as cadmium lithopone, cadmium yellows, etc. A relatively large quantity of
the metal is used in the production of bearing metals for high-speed internal combustion engines.
It was reported after the outbreak of war in September that both the demand and market price of
cadmium showed a decided increase. ‘Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted cadmium
December, 1939, per pound, commercial sticks, wholesale quantities, 75 cents, London 5s. 6d.

CALCIUM
There is no commercial production of calcium metal in Canada and data relating to possible
imports of metallic calcium into the Dominion are not published. The following information
relating to the metal is supplied by “The Mining Journal”, London:—‘“‘Calcium metal alloys with
aluminium, magnesium, beryllium, barium, copper, iron and lead, and the alloys are used both for
general and special purposes. The metal is very useful as a reducing agent in the preparation of
different metallic products and effects a great improvement in the properties of certain alloys.
It also acts as a reducing agent in the preparation of metal powders of chromium, thorium and
uranium. In the form of calcium silicide it is a good de-oxidizer in iron castings and alloyed with
lead it is used in battery grids and plates, for machinery and other bearings, and as a sheathing
for telephone, cable and electric lines. During the war of 1914-18, when antimony and antimonial
lead were difficult to obtain in the United States, the so-called ‘Frary’ metals were developed
containing, besides lead, two per cent barium and one per cent calcium. These alloys found
considerable favour for bearings, and in some respects, such as, tensile strength, hardness and
resistance to fatigue, were considered superior to the one per cent antimony lead, when used for
cable sheathing. ‘These alloys can be satisfactorily cast, rolled, welded, machined and turned.
From the results of experience available, it would seem that amongst the most valuable functions
of calcium metal is that of the great scavenging effect in freeing other metallic products from
impurities which might be highly detrimental to their employment.
“Calcium metal, either as such, or in alloy form, has uses outside the metallurgical field. It
is used to dehydrate commercial alcohol to obtain 100 per cent spirit and also for the dehydration
of certain solvents and organic liquids; also for de-sulphurizing petroleum fractions; it is also a
very effective absorbing agent for producing high vacua.
“Calcium metal is produced by the electrolysis of fused calcium chloride, at an expenditure
of electric energy of 15 to 25 kilowatt hours per pound of metal produced. The pure metal is
silver-white, but when exposed to moisture-containing air, a film of bluish oxide forms on its
surface, which film is protective against further atmospheric action. The metal has a specific
gravity of 1-542 and thus is lighter than beryllium, magnesium and aluminium, being only ex-
ceeded in lightness by the alkali metals. Incidentally, this property of lightness is not of great
importance, because calcium meta] as such is not likely to be used extensively for constructional
purposes, but only in small quantities alloyed with other metals. The metal is ductile and malle-
able and can be machined, turned, etc., but cannot be cast by ordinary foundry methods—calcium
is rapidly becoming an important metallurigcal raw material which suggests that its production
will continue to increase with the usual result of lowering the market price’’.
Calcium metal was quoted in the United States, September, 1939—per pound 98 to 99 per
cent—75 cents—ton lots, lump. Data relating to possible Canadian imports of calcium metal
are not published.
CHROMITE
The mineral chromite (FeO, Cr.Os) is the commercial source of the metal chromium; it is also
used extensively in the manufacture of refractory brick. The metal is a necessary constituent of
many high-speed cutting tools, certain armour plate, and stainless steels. Chromite is also used
in the manufacture of chromic acid for electroplating andin the manufacture of chemicals used
chiefly in the dyeing, tanning and pigment industries.
The principal chromite producing countries are Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Southern
Rhodesia, Cuba, New Caledonia, Yugoslavia, India, and Philippine Islands. Production of the
mineral in Canada during recent years has been relatively small, coming almost entirely from the
Eastern Townships, Quebec. During the past few years considerable development work was
conducted on a chromite deposit located at Obongo Lake, in the Thunder Bay district of Ontario;
shipments were made from this property in 1935, 1936 and 1937.. The owners of this mine, The
Chromium Mining and Smelting Corp. Ltd., also have a modern electric smelting plant at Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario, for the production of ferro-chrome and ferro-silicon. No commercial ship-
ments of ore were made from the Obongo Lake property during 1939 and it was reported that the
company, in the future, would smelt only imported chromite ore. In 1939 development work was
conducted on a chromite prospect located in Coleraine Township, Meganuic County, Province of
Quebec; some fifteen tons of ore were extracted during the year, but no shipments were recorded.
In British Columbia, exploration and development work has been conducted during the past
on several chromite deposits but there have been no reports made to the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, Ottawa, of recent activities at these properties with the exéeption of some surveying
completed in 1937 by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, at
chromite claims located near Ashcroft.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted chrome ore September, 1939, as follows:—
Per long ton C.I-F. Atlantic ports: 43 to 45 per cent Cr.O3 , $20.00 to $22.00; 48 to 50 per cent,
$25.00 to $26.00. Prices nominal. Corresponding prices May, 1940 were:—Turkish, 48 per cent
CrOz concentrate, $29.00 to $30.00; Indian, 48 per cent, $25.00 to $26.00 ; 43 to 45 per cent re-
fractory, $21.00 to $22.00.
The production of chromite in the Eastern townships of the Province of Quebec was greatly
stimulated during the world war of 1914-1918 by the demand created for the mineral as a refractory
and in the manufacture of ferro-chrome. From 1910 to 1914 inclusive, the Canadian industry had
been dormant, but in 1915 shipments of 12,341 tons averaging less than 35 per cent Cr,O3 were
made. This was increased in 1916 to 15,249 tons valued at $310,902 (final shipments of ore and
custom concentrates) having an average content of 38-3 per cent Cr,O; and an average value of
$20.39 per ton. In 1917 the final shipments of ores and concentrates were 23,712 tons valued at
$581,796 containing an average of about 35-7 per cent Cr,03;. The 1917 shipments included
20,154 tons of ore that would vary from 30 per cent to 40 per cent Cr,O3, but would probably
average close to 32 per cent; and 3,558 tons of concentrates that would average about 50 per
cent Cr2O3; .
Of the total shipments in 1917 about 965 tons were marketed for consumption in Canada.
Prices for 40 per cent chromite ore varied during 1917 from 85 cents per unit, per short ton in
January to a maximum of $1.25 per unit in December. Exports of chromite from Canada in 1918
were 15,831 tons valued at $353,616; the imports of bichromate of soda into Canada in 1918 were
1,046,490 pounds valued at $208,669; data relating to imports of ferro-chrome into Canada in 1918
are not available.

IRON ORE
No iron ores, known as such, were mined in Canada for some years prior to 1939. Nova
Scotia with its large iron and steel industry is not a producer of iron ore. The large deposits of
high grade ore in Newfoundland, owned by the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation, are much
more readily accessible and of a higher and more constant grade than the iron ore deposits in
Nova Scotia.
Tron ore was first mined and smelted in the province of Quebec early in the eighteenth century,
and from that time until 1883, the industry was carried on almost continuously at Three Rivers
in the St. Maurice district. Other furnaces using local ore were operated at Radnor Forges and
Drummondville, the last to shut down being the Drummondville furnace in 1911. At the present
time only titaniferous ore is mined in Quebec; this ore is produced near Baie St. Paul and is shipped
for its titanium content.
In the Province of Quebec exploration of iron ore deposits, located near the Labrador border,
was conducted by McKay Exploration Limited during the period June 4 to September 13, 1939.
More iron ore has been produced in Ontario than in any other province; in northwestern
Ontario, about 1899, a deposit of hematite, that later developed into the Helen mine, was found.
This property was the main source of Ontario’s iron ore output for a number of years. The
province has a large supply of low-grade iron ore, but beneficiation processes must be applied to
make these ores suitable for commercial use.
During 1937 the Algoma Ore Properties Limited, commenced rebuilding the surface equip-
ment at the New Helen iron mine in Michipicoten; work was suspended in May, 1938, and resumed
in December; development operations were continued in 1939 and commercial shipments
of
beneficiated ore were commenced in July. These totalled 123,598 short tons valued at $341,594
in 1939. The Dwight-Lloyd process for the elimination of CO. and sulphur is employed in the
treatment of the Helen mine ore. A new discovery of hematite iron ore at Steep Rock Lake near
Atikokan, Ontario, the first of bessemer grade ever found in Ontario, was reported in March of
1938. This deposit, which might prove of extreme importance to the industrial life of the province
and to Canada generally, has been outlined by diamond-drilling on behalf of the Sterola Explora-
tion Company. Early drilling indicated a mass of ore at least 700 feet long and 150 wide. ‘This
grade of hematite ore requires no beneficiation prior to smelting. Exploration and development
of the deposit were continued in 1939.
Legislation passed by the Ontario Legislature has provided that a bounty of two cents per
unit of iron will be paid to possible producers of iron ores for a period of ten years, commencing
January 1, 1939.
Different varieties of iron ore are found in various parts of British Columbia, the most
important of which are the magnetite deposits which occur on the islands along the coast.
Imports of iron ore into Canada during 1939 totalled 1,764,844 tons valued at $4,179,353
compared with 1,302,430 tons at $2,830,482 in 1938; of the 1939 imports 1,205,261 tons valued
at $3,080,641 came from the United States; 524,849 tons at $938,954 from Newfoundland and
20,404 tons at $73,061 from Brazil.
Iron ore quotations in the United States, August, 1939, were as follows:—per long ton, Lower
Lake Ports, Lake Superior Ore—Mesabi, non-bessemer, 51} per cent iron $4.95. Old range, non-
bessemer, $5.10. Mesabi, bessemer, 514 per cent iron $5.10. Eastern ores, cents, per long ton
unit, delivered at furnaces: Foundry and Basic, 56 to 63 per cent, 9 to 9% cents. April, 1940,
quotation for Mesabi, non-bessemer, 514 per cent iron, $4.45. Old range, non-bessemer, $4.60.
Mesabi, bessemer, 514 per cent iron, $4.60. Old range, bessemer, $4.75.
The Foreign Minerals Quarterly of the United States Department of the Interior shows a
total of 21,927,539 metric tons of iron ore imported into Germany in 1938 of which 755,454 came
from Algeria; 1,718,049 from Belgium-Luxemburg; 5,056,121 from France; 1,121,515 from New-
foundland; 1,082,551 from Spain; 724,549 from Spanish Morocco; 8,992,331 from Sweden and
2,476,969 from other countries.

IRON AND STEEL AND THEIR PRODUCTS

The Primary Iron and Steel Industry
Statistics for the Primary Iron and Steel Industry include data for all establishm
ents in
Canada which were engaged chiefly in the manufacture of (a) pig iron, (b) ferro-alloys
, (c) steel
ingots and steel castings, (d) hot rolled iron and steel products, (e) cold rolled
or cold drawn steel
bars, strips and shapes. Thirty-nine firms were included in this industry in
1939 and reports were
received for 54 different plants or departments, including 4 blast furnace department
s, 4 ferro-
alloy plants, 30 steel furnace divisions, and 16 rolling or drawing mills. Separate reports were
received for blast furnace departments, steel furnace divisions and rolling mills even when they
were really units of a single works.
Factory sales of pig iron, ferro-alloys, steel ingots and castings, and finished rolled products
were 27 per cent higher in 1939 than in 1938, the values being $75,934,481 and $59,606,150,
respectively. The 25 works in Ontario reported sales at $48,925,939, or 64 per cent of the total
for Canada; 6 plants in Nova Scotia accounted for $15,223,484, or 20 per cent, and 14 works in
Quebec for $9,410,406, or 12 per cent. There were also 4 operating plants in Manitoba, 4 in
British Columbia and 1 in Alberta.
Capital employed in 1939 amounted to $113,660,251, including $74,640,094 as the value of
land, buildings and plant equipment, $22,820,868 as the value of inventories of raw and finished
materials on hand and in process, and $16,199,289 as the total of operating capital, such as cash,
bills and accounts receivable. For works in Ontario the capital was $75,269,867; for Nova Scotia,
$22,015,230; for Quebec, $14,358,351; for Manitoba, $1,732,926, and for Alberta and British
Columbia, $283,877.
The average number of employees in 1939 was 13, 827, an increase of 5 per cent from the 1938
average of 13,100. About 989 persons worked in blast furnace departments during the year, 440
in ferro-alloys plants, 4,551 in steel furnace divisions and 7,847 in rolling mills. About 62 per
cent of the total or 8,594 were employed in Ontario, 2,473 in Quebec, 2,252 in Nova Scotia, 406 in
Manitoba and 102 in British Columbia and Alberta.
Payments in salaries and wages amounted to $20,410,517 in 1939, a gain of 12 per cent from
the previous year’s total of $18,256,627. Salaries increased to $3,003,672 from $2,844,190 and
wages to $17,406,845 compared with $15,412,437 in 1938.
Cost of materials for use in manufacturing processes was $29,629,376 compared with $24,786,761
in 1938, and the cost of fuel and electricity was $6,174,661 against $5,529,833; an increased
expenditure, amounting to 20 per cent, was made for materials and 12 per cent for fuel and power.
PIG IRON
The output of pig iron in 1939 amounted to 755,731 tons, an increase of 7 per cent over the
total in the previous year of 705,427 tons. Production of basic iron was given at 655,560 tons
or about 87 per cent of the total; foundry iron amounted to 71,709 tons and the malleable grade
to 28,462 tons.
Producers’ sales of pig iron totalled 171,977 tons at $3,757,573 in 1939 compared with sales of
129,565 tons at $2,961,639 in 1938, a gain of 33 per cent in quantity and 27 per cent in value.
A review of the year’s output by months shows that 57,660 tons were made in January after
which the production fell off to the year’s low in March at 40,723 tons, then advanced intermit-
tently to around 65,000 tons in August and September, and closed the year at the high of 94,483
in December.
Charges to iron blast furnaces during the year included 1,272,800 tons of imported ore,
45,152 tons of Canadian ore, 106,834 tons of mill cinder, 775,869 short tons of coke, 259,431 short
tons of imported limestone and 97,946 short tons of Canadian limestone.
Imports of pig iron during the calendar year declined to 587 tons from 2,122 tons while
exports advanced slightly to 10,728 tons from 10,546 tons in 1938.
Producers’ stocks at the end of 1939 were reduced to 61,763 tons compared with 127,909 tons
in the preceding year.
The apparent consumption of pig iron in Canada, as calculated by deducting the exports
from the sum of the production plus imports, amounted to 811,736 tons in 1939, the corresponding
figure for the previous twelve-month period being 681,381 tons.
Producers of pig iron in Canada have 10 blast furnaces available for use, which, if operated at
the rated capacity, could produce 1-5 million tons of pig iron a year. Actual production In 1939
at 755,731 tons was about 50 per cent of capacity. Only 8 of the blast furnaces were used during
the year.
FERRO-ALLOYS
Production of ferro-alloys of all kinds in 1939 amounted to 76,375 tons, a gain of about 37 per
cent over the 55,926 tons reported for 1938.
Ferro-alloys were made by 11 different concerns in Canada, 5 of whom recovered ferro-
silicon as a by-product in the manufacture of abrasives, while the other six made various alloys
as a primary part of their production.
Altogether ferro-silicon was made in 9 different plants, and spiegeleisen in two. Other alloys
produced by one firm only included ferro-manganese, silico-manganese, silico-spiegeleisen, ferro-
chrome, ferro-phosphorus, silicon metal and calcium silicon.
STEEL INGOTS AND CASTINGS
Steel production advanced 20 per cent to 1,384,870 tons in 1939 from 1,155,190 tons in the
preceding year, the output of steel ingots advancing to 1,330,408 from 1,103,094 tons and steel
castings to 54,462 tons from 52,096 tons. Factory sales of ingots and castings totalled 56,566
tons valued at $9,169,097.
Thirty steel plants were in operation during the year. These plants had 87 furnaces, including
40 basic open hearth with an annual capacity of 1,774,946 tons, 44 electric furnaces rated at
279,076 tons and 3 converters at 2,600 tons. Of the 30 companies, 18 made electric castings only,
3, electric ingots only, 2, basic ingots only, 2, basic ingots and castings, 2, converter castings
only, 1, basic and electric ingots also electric castings, 1, basic and electric castings and 1 made
electric and converter castings.
Operating steel furnaces in 1939 used 654,550 tons of pig iron, 827,695 tons of scrap iron or
steel, 81,830 tons of ore, 121,007 short tons of limestone, 55,450 short tons of dolomite, 20,540 short
tons of lime, 19,090 short tons of silica sand, 11,401 short tons of magnesite and 23,734 tons of
ferro-alloys.
ROLLED AND DRAWN STEEL
In 1939 there were 13 hot rolling mills in operation, 1 cold rolling plant and 2 making cold
drawn shapes. Nine of these mills were in Ontario, 3 in Nova Scotia, 3 in Quebec and 1 in Mani-
toba. One rolling mill in Ontario and 1 in Alberta were idle throughout the year.
Rolling mill sales advanced 28 per cent to $58,978,429 from $46,040,787 in 1938. The main
items for the year under review were—251,164 tons of bars at $16,581,204; 226,311 tons of plates,
sheets, hoop, band and strip at $17,614,271; 156,262 tons of semi-finished rolled products, such as
blooms, etc., at $5,936,729; 87,563 tons of wire rods at $3,954,970; 82,072 tons of structural shapes
at $4,554,201; 144,344 tons of rails and rail fastenings at $7,080,427; 12,182 tons of other rolled
forms at $785,502 and miscellaneous products, not rolled, at $2,471,125.
Imports of rolling mill products were valued at $32,335,519 in 1939 against $25,470,444 in
1938. Of this year’s total, $23,286,673 came from the United States and $7,964,021 from the
United Kingdom.

LITHIUM
The principal commercial lithium ores are amblygonite, a fluophosphate of lithium and
aluminium; spodumene, a silicate of these two elements, and lepidolite, or lithia mica, also a
silicate. The lithia content of these minerals, as mined, commonly ranges around 8 to 9 per cent
for amblygonite, 4 to 7 per cent for spodumene, and 3 to 5 per cent for lepidolite. All of the above
minerals are known to occur in Canada but there has, as yet, been only a small production, mainly
of lepidolite and spodumene. The important deposits are all in Manitoba in the southeastern
part of the province. The first commercial shipment of Canadian lithium ore to be officially
recorded was reported during 1937. This production came from deposits located at Bernic Lake,
Manitoba, and was valued at $1,694; the mineral was consigned to the United States for the
manufacture of lithium compounds and possible lithium metal. No commercial shipments of
lithium ores from Canadian mines were reported in 1939. It has been stated that the lepidolite
from the ‘Silver Leaf” deposits in Manitoba contains substantial quantities of caesium and
rubi-
dium. Operations were resumed late in 1939 and continued in 1940 at the Bernic Lake lithium
deposits of the Lithium Corporation of Canada Limited ; and it was reported that commercial
shipments of lithium ore might be resumed during 1940.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted lithium metal, May, 1940, per pound, 98 to
99 per cent 100 pound lots, $15. Amblygonite was quoted, April, 1940, per
ton F.O.B. mines
8 to 9 per cent Li,O, $40. Lepidolite, per ton, $24 to $25 for ordinary grades, lump, F.O.B.
mines.
Statistics relating to possible imports of lithium, lithium ores or lithium compounds are
not
shown separately in Canadian trade reports. :

MAGNESIUM
No magnesium metal has been produced in Canada during recent years. However,
in 1918,
the manufacture in the Dominion of metallic magnesium was undertaken
by the Shawinigan
Electro Metals Company Limited at Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, from imported magnesium
chloride
salts. It is also stated that during the period 1916-1918, the Consolidated Mining
and Smelting
Company of Canada, Limited, produced approximately 100 tons of metallic magnesium
at Trail,
British Columbia, from imported magnesium chloride. This same company reported that in
1939 the development of an improved process on a semi-commercial scale
for the production of
magnesium at Trail had been successfully concluded.
The United States Bureau of Mines in its “‘Minerals Yearbook” for 1939 states:—“I
ncreased
interest in aircraft in the present national-defence program of the United
States has again em-
phasized the growing importance of magnesium and other light alloys.
Production (sales) of
primary magnesium in the United States in 1938 was greater than ever before.
Outside of the
United States, production of magnesium increased at an even more rapid
rate. World output
totalled possibly 22,000 metric tons, an increase of 22 per cent over that indicated
in 1937. Ger-
many continued as the outstanding producer, with an estimated output
of 12,000 tons. The
rapid growth in the use of magnesium abroad is due to the armament and
self-sufficiency programs
of totalitarian and democratic countries, as well as to development of new uses based upon its
lightness and strength. Sales of primary magnesium in the United States in’ 1938 totalled 2,410
‘short tons. The 1938 estimate of magnesium production by countries is as follows:—Greater

Germany, 12,000; United Kingdom, 2,200; United States (sales) 2,185; Japan 2,000; France 1,800;
Switzerland 800; U.S.S.R. 600; and Italy 400. The magnesium chloride electrolytic process
continued to supply the greater part of the output. The principal raw materials used were
potash final liquor, carnallite, magnesite and brine. It is expected that a larger part of the output
will be furnished by the thermal reduction process in 1939 when new plants in the United Kingdom,
Japan and Italy are scheduled to begin production. These new plants will use magnesite and
dolomite as raw material.”
Sales of new magnesium ingot in the United States during 1939 totalled 10,650,121 pounds,
an increase of 121 per cent over 1938. Magnesium was used in 1939 in the construction of many
‘more parts of airplanes. It was reported in March, 1940, that the Dow Chemical Company had
commenced construction of a $5,000,000 plant at Freeport, Texas for the production of magnesium
from sea water.
Data relating to any Canadian imports of magnesium metal are not published separately.
Imports of magnesium alloys from June 3, 1939, to December 31, 1939, were appraised at $575.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—Prices September 21, 1939, and May, 1940,
were:—per pound ingots (4 x 16 in.) 99-8 per cent, carload lots, 27 cents; extruded sticks, carload
lots, 34 cents.
MANGANESE ORE
Commercial shipments of manganese ore from Canadian mines during 1939 totalled 396 short
tons valued at $3,688; of these shipments 4 tons valued at $88 were made from the East Mountain
deposits, Colchester County, Nova Scotia, and 392 tons worth $3,600 from Turtle Creek in Albert
County, New Brunswick.
The manganese deposits of New Brunswick fall into two main classes, ‘Bog ore” and “Hard
ore’. According to the Department of Mines, New Brunswick, the bog ores are extensive but
the market very limited, the chief demand being for hard ores containing more than 30 per cent
manganese. In 1939, the New Brunswick government sampled a deposit of manganiferous iron
ore located in Carleton County averaging iron 26-26 per cent; manganese 12-97 per cent; sulphur
0-09 per cent and phosphorus 0-9 per cent.
’ The Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, reports that the manganese ores, which
have been mined in Canada are pyrolusite, manganite, psilomelane, and bog manganese. These,
with the exception of the bog manganese, were mostly ores with a high manganese content and
fairly free from deleterious constituents. They were usually in small lots and were derived from
various localities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia.
Although manganese is used in both the ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgical industries, the
bulk is consumed in the manufacture of iron and steel. Most of the ore entering this industry is
used in the manufacture of ferromanganese and spiegeleisen, the forms in which manganese is
usually added to steel. A considerable quantity of manganese ore is used by producers of storage
batteries and certain manganese ores are used by the chemical, ceramic, and glass industries. A
process for the production of manganese had been practically completed in 1939 by the Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited.
Engineering and Mining Journal’s “Metal and Mineral Markets’”—New York—quoted
manganese ore, August 31, 1939. as follows:—per long ton unit of manganese, c.i.f. North Atlantic
ports, cargo lots, exclusive of duty: Brazilian, 46 to 48 per cent manganese, 27 cents; Chilian, 47 per
cent minimum, 27 cents; Indian, 48 to 50 per cent, 28 cents; Caucasian, 52 to 55 per cent, 29 cents;
South African, 50 to 52 per cent, 28 cents; 44 to 48 per cent, 24 cents. Prices May, 1940, were:
Brazilian, 46 to 48 per cent manganese, 47 cents; Chilian, 48 per cent mangancse, 49 cents;
Indian, 48 to 50 per cent manganese, 49 cents; South African, 50 to 52 per cent manganese, 50
cents; Cuban, 45 to 47 per cent manganese, not dutiable, 513 cents; 50 to 52 per cent, 62 cents.
Prices nominal.
Imports into Canada of manganese oxide during 1939 totalled 59,573,600 pounds valued at
$621,931 compared with 42,100,000 pounds at $463,673 in 19388. Of the 1939 imports, 45,074,300
pounds were imported direct from the United States and 14,471,800 from British South Africa.
In 1938 imports from the Gold Coast amounted to 37,914,000 pounds valued at $371,564.

MERCURY
Production of virgin mercury in Canada during 1939 totalled 436 pounds valued at $1,226
compared with 760 pounds at $760 in 1938. The output in both years originated at the Property of
the Empire Mercury Mines Limited, located at Mud Creek, Bridge River area, British Columbia.
During 1939 the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, conducted
exploration work, both surface and underground, on a mercury bearing deposit situated at Pinchi
Lake in the Omineca district of British Columbia. The company announced that an 85 per cent
interest in the property had been optioned and several more claims staked; as the property
appeared to be promising, plans were rushed for bringing it into production as early as possible.
This plant should be in operation before midsummer 1940. Concurrent development of the
property has been very favourable and in all probability will call for doubling the plant as soon as
the 50 ton plant is in successful operation.
“World events in 1939 had a marked influence on the mercury industry in the United States
and, combined with conditions within the industry itself, caused sharp fluctuations in the price,
according to the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior. In January the
monthly price was $77.44 a flask. There was an upward movement in the early months of the
year due to political tension abroad and to the speculation over what would be the selling policy
for Italian and Spanish mercury should Franco win the Spanish civil war. Prices eased following
Franco’s victory and the resumption of combined selling by Mercurio Europeo, signalling at-
temps to market large quantities of metal rather than to run up the price. Upon the outbreak
of the war between Great Britain and France and Germany in September apparently some con-
suming countries were found to be under-supplied. ‘The United States, for example, had sub-
stantially lessened her importation of mercury since late in 1937 and had not increased domestic
production to offset the decline in imports. Consumer's stocks in the United States must have
been drawn on in 1938 and up to the opening of war in September 1939. Prices in the United
States jumped in September and averaged $140.00 for the month; they rose to $145.60 for October;
declined to $134.98 in November and were $141.20 in December. During this period the foreign
price lagged greatly behind the domestic one. Whereas, the price differential in favor of selling
in the United States was $6 to $11 a flask for the first 8 months of the year as against the tariff
of $19, in September it skyrocketed to $49. The jump in the September differential was due
largely to the decline in the exchange rate for the pound. Late in the year production in the
United States began to respond to increased prices and imports increased. Conditions of obtain-
ing supplies abroad became more acute, however, and the foreign price rose precipituosly, leaving
the domestic price protected by tariff far behind. In F ebruary 1940 the Cartel price rose to
$205 c.i.f. New York, duty unpaid, and that for domestic metal was quoted as $178 to $182 a
flask.
“Domestic production amounted to 18,633 flasks, the highest recorded since 1931, but only
LO per cent above the average for the 5-year period, 1934-38.”—United States Bureau of Mines.

MOLYBDENITE
Molybdenite ore is the chief source of the metal molybdenum; the mineral, a soft steel-blue
coloured sulphide, is usually found in pegmatite dykes and along the
contacts of limestone and
gneiss. The metal is employed chiefly in the manufacture of special
alloy steels.
Canadian mine shipments of molybdenite concentrates in 1939 totalied
2,722 pounds valued
at $816 compared with 14,000 pounds worth $4,500 in the preceding
year. Of the 1939 output,
2,240 pounds valued at $600 were produced in the Malartic area
of Abitibi County, Quebec, by
the Molybdenite Corporation of Canada Limited, while the balance
of Canadian production
represents concentrates shipped by Regnery Metals from its property
located near Hawk Junction,
Algoma District, Ontario.
A renewed interest in Canadian molybdenite deposits was apparent throughout 1939, especi-
ally after the declaration of war against Germany. In the Province of Quebec reports of work
conducted during 1939 were officially received from Cheabella Mine Company (Montbeillard),
Maniwaki Molybdenum Mines Limited, (Maniwaki), La Reine Holdings (Abitibi County),
Quyon Molybdenite Company Limited (Quyon), Kindale Mines Limited (Gatineau County),
Molybdenite Corporation of Canada Limited (Abitibi County) and Alloys Limited (Quyon
District). In Ontario work was officially reported by Regnery Metals (Algoma), North American
Molybdenum Corporation Limited (Renfrew County), Kenopo Mining and Milling Company
Limited (Kenora District), and Puritan Mines Limited (Renfrew County). Operations during
1939 at molybdenite properties located in British Columbia were reported by Powell River Molly
claims (Nanaimo District) and A. Langly (Stella Group, Omineca District). No shipments were
reported from these properties and development chiefly represented assessment work. A dis-
covery of molybdenite near Cranberry Portage, Manitoba, was recently reported.
The United States Bureau of Mines in an advance summary review states:—‘The domestic
production of molybdenum in 1939 amounted to 32,347 short tons of concentrates containing
30,324,000 pounds of metallic molybdenum, as compared with 36,157 tons of concentrates contain-
ing 33,297,000 pounds of metallic molybdenum in 1938.
“About 72 per cent of the domestic output of molybdenum came from the operation of the
Climax Molybdenum Co. of Lake County, Colo. Production of molybdenum concentrates was
also reported from Arizona, California, New Merico, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.
“Concentrates shipped from mines in 1939 were 32,415,000 pounds of molybdenum with an
estimated value of $22,157,000, as compared with 25,727,000 pounds with an estimated value of
$17,977,000 in 1938.
‘Exports of molybdenum concentrates in 1939 were 21,777 short tons, of which 9,071 tons
went to the U.S.S.R., 4,681 tons to Japan, 3,778 tons to the United Kingdom, 1,480 tons to France,
1,367 tons to the Netherlands, 502 tons to Italy, and 898 tons to other countries. These were
valued at $14,056,441.”
For most purposes molybdenite (MoS) is converted, before using, to ferromolybdenum or to

calcium molybdate (a compound resulting from the roasting of molybdenite with lime and contain-
ing 35 to 45 per cent molybdenum). The latter, states the United States Bureau of Mines, is the
cheaper method of preparing molybdenum for industrial applications. Molybdenum oxide in
briquets is also used in making molybdenum additions to iron and steel. Improved processes of
heat-treating and fabricating high-speed tool steels in which part of the tungsten has been replaced
by molybdenum have increased the use of molybdenum in this field.
The only data published as relating to Canadian imports of molybdenum are those pertaining
to calcium molybdate. Calcium molybdate imported into Canada during 1938 by manufacturers
of steel for use exclusively in the manufacture of steel in their own factories totalled 181,377
pounds valued at $63,131 compared with 222,990 pounds worth $136,321 in 1939. Imports
during both years came entirely from the United States. Imports into Canada of alloys used in
the manufacture of steel or iron n.o.p. totalled 2,252,100 pounds valued at $461,596 in 1939; some
of these may have contained molybdenum.

Molybdenum ore is also produced in Yugoslavia and China.
RADIUM-URANIUM
Commercial production of radium-uranium bearing ores in Canada
is confined, at the present
time, entirely to the Great Bear Lake district in the Northwes
t Territories. Eldorado Gold
Mines Limited operates a mine and mill at Echo Bay, Great
Bear Lake, Northwest Territories,
and Bear Exploration and Radium Limited conducted mining
and milling operations in 1939 at
Contact Lake in the same district. Pitchblende concentrates produced
by the Eldorado Company
are treated for the recovery of radium and uranium at a
refinery owned and operated by the
company at Port Hope, Ontario. Important quantities of silver and some copper also occur with
the pitchblende at the Eldorado mine, and these metals, in the
form of concentrates, are shipped
principally to the metallurgical works of other firms for
the recovery of the silver and copper -
content.
The property of Bear Exploration and Radium Limited was
active until July 31 and 6,658
tons of ore were milled; shipments of silver-bearing concentr
ates were made by this company to
the Trail smelter of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company
of Canada Limited and to the
Deloro Smelting and Refining Company, Deloro, Ontario.
“The St. Joachimsthal mines, formerly part of Czechoslovakia,
were incorporated in the
German Reich in October, 1938. These deposits are estimate
d to contain more than 300 grams
of radium still unmined and at the time of their incorpor
ation into Germany were producing
about 180 to 190 metric tons of pitchblende ore yielding about
5 grams of radium a year. Opera-
tions were under control of the Czech Government ; and the
output, ranging from 2 to 10 grams
annually in recent years, has been purchased principally
in England. In March, 1939 the Auerg-
esellschaft, A. G., Berlin, Germany’s leading manufacturer
of radioactive metals (one of its
products being mesothorium from gas-mantle residues) obtained a concession from the German
Government to operate the Joachimsthal mines under lease and extract the radium at its works in
Berlin.’’—United States Bureau of Mines.
Eldorado Gold Mines, Limited, reported that in 1939 there were 522 tons of pitchblende
concentrates received from the mine at its Port Hope refinery. Ore reserves at the mine were
maintained throughout the year and are now ample for the operation of the present mill for the
next four years; the refinery was operated for approximately eleven and a half months. The
advent of war in September, 1939, created many new problems in the marketing of products,
particularly as more than 90 per cent are exported. However, asa partial compensation for this,
there has been a gradual increase in the demand for products from the United States and the Far
East. Products of the company include: radium bromide and sulpbate; uranium (yellow, orange,
black and nitrate); polonium, silver-copper concentrate; silver sulphide and cobalt-copper-nickel
concentrate.
For statistical purposes, the data relating to the mining and milling and the refining of
pitchblende-silver ores in Canada are combined, respectively, with those of silver-lead-zine
mining and non-ferrous smelting industries. Figures pertaining to the value of production of
radium and uranium in Canada were not published prior to 1939.
The Union Miniére du Haut Katanga is the world’s other large producer of radium but little
information is available regarding the mining of radium ores by this organization in the Belgian
Congo or to the refining operations conducted at Oolen, Belgium.
Imports of radium into Canada during 1938 were valued at $22,559 compared with $15,929
in 1939. Data relating to Canadian exports of radium and imports and exports of uranium are
not shown in Canadian Government Publications.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted radium September, 1939—per mg.
radium content $25 to $30, as to quantity. September, 1939, New York quotations for uranium
were—black oxide kgs. $2.65—per pound; yellow kgs. $1.75—per pound.

SELENIUM
Selenium production in Canada represents a by-product in the electrolytic refining of blister
and anode copper made from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec ores. It is recovered
at Copper Cliff, Ontario, by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd., and at Montreal
East, Quebec, by the Canadian Copper Refiners, Ltd.
Production in Canada during 1939 totalled 150,771 pounds valued at $266,714 compared with
358,929 pounds worth $622,742 in 1938. Of the output in 1939, there were 23,841 pounds re-
covered from copper-gold ores mined and smelted in Quebec and 126,930 pounds in Ontario from
nickel-copper ores. Selenium is also contained in the copper-gold ores of the Flin Flon mine in
Manitoba and Saskatchewan but its commercial recovery (sales) from such ores was not reported
in 1939.
24315—10
The International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd., reported that the demand for selenium
was stronger in 1939 and that the company’s sales were greater than in 1938.
One of the principal uses for selenium is as a decolorizer in the manufacture of glass. It is
used with cadmium sulphide as a pigment and with sulphur as a secondary vulcanizing agent in
the rubber industry. Selenium is used in copper alloys and stainless steel to increase machin-
ability. Selenium is marketed chiefly as a black to steel-gray amorphous powder, also in cakes
and sticks.
According to the United States Bureau of Mines more and more selenium is being recovered
from copper refining, and as the use of selenium in glass no longer seems to be increasing, the search
for new uses has been resumed; rubber-making continues to be the second largest use of the ele-
ment next to glass making.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—quoted selenium December, 1939, per pound
$1.75 for black, powdered 99-5 per cent pure.
General statistics on employment, etc., as relating to the production of both selenium and
tellurium are included with those compiled for the Canadian non-ferrous smelting and refining
industry. Figures pertaining to Canadian imports and exports of selenium were not, published
separately prior to 1939. Exports of selenium and salts of, from Canada in 1939, totalled 238,925
pounds valued at $374,700; of these 128,293 pounds went to the United Kingdom and 109,411
pounds to the United States.

(a) First commercial production in Canada.
In 1939 the Canadian glass industry consumed 3,392 pounds of selenium valued at
$5,851.
Consumption in the same industry in 1938 totalled 3,186 pounds worth $5,711. Complete data on
world production of selenium and tellurium are not available.
TELLURIUM
As with selenium, the metal is recovered in Canada as a by-product in the electrolytic-
refining of anode copper at Montreal East, Quebec, by Canadian Copper Refiners,
Limited, and
at Copper Cliff, Ontario, by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited.
The
production in Ontario represents the recovery of the metal solely from nickel-copper
ores; whereas
at Montreal East the metal originated in copper-gold ores mined in Manitoba,
Saskatchewan,
and Quebec. , .
Production of tellurium in Canada during 1939 totalled 2,940 pounds valued at
$4,769; this
output was credited entirely to the province of Quebec. No commercial production was reported
in Ontario, Manitoba or Saskatchewan in 1939.
Tellurium is used in rubber hose and cable coverings and greatly increases
the toughness and
abrasion resistance of rubber. Tellurium is usually marketed as slabs and sticks of 99 per cent
purity, but for use in compounding rubber it is furnished in the form of a steel gray
powder. The
metal is also used to harden, toughen and increase the corrosion resistance of lead.
Both tellurium
and selenium impart free-cutting properties to alloy and plain carbon steels.
The annual report of the International Tin Research and Development Council
for 1938
states that the investigation of the mechanical properties of tin-rich tellurium
tin alloys is now
completed. The most notable results are the remarkable work-hardening properties and
the high
ratio of creep strength to tensile strength. While the absolute values are low compared
with
certain other tin alloys, these properties indicate that tellurium may be a
valuable addition to
other tin alloys.
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA .- 139
The International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited. reported that the industrial demand
for tellurium continues to be small, although it is interesting to record that a leading fabricator of
copper products is offering “free-machining”’ copper and copper alloys containing smal] amounts
of tellurium.
Data relating to Canadian imports and exports of tellurium are not shown separately in the
trade reports of the Dominion. ‘Metal and Mineral Markets’’—New York, quoted tellurium at
$1.75 per pound, September 7, 1939, and May, 1940.

* First commercial production in Canada.
TIN
Tin is known to occur in the Snowflake and Sullivan mines in British Columbia and in certain
pegmatites in southeastern Manitoba. It has also been reported at New Ross, Nova Scotia.
No tin ore deposits have been worked or tin ore production recorded in Canada during recent
years. The Nova Scotia Department of Public Works and Mines reported that some prospecting
was performed in 1938 by Mr. George Mitchell on an occurrence of molybdenum and tin in the
New Ross area, Lunenburg County. No official reports of any primary tin production in Canada
were received in 1939 and no development of any Canadian tin bearing deposits was reported.
“‘As considerable tin enters wor!d trade in the form of ore, geographical data on world smelter
output differs materially from those of mine output. For example, all ore from Bolivia and
Nigeria is smelted in Europe. An appreciable part of the tin ore from Netherlands India is smelted
in the Netherlands and the product of Siam and Indo-China is smelted in British Malaya. The
only commercial tin ore smelter in the Western Hemisphere is in Argentina, and its output has
increased somewhat in recent years. Germany (including Austria) produces little tin; and despite
major efforts to provide substitutes, apparent consumption increased from 9,164 tons in 1936
to 13,474 in 1938. The acquisition of Czechoslovakia increased Germany’s dependence on im-
ported tin, as consumption there has averaged over 1,600 tons annually from 1936 to 1938, with
little or no local production.” (United States Bureau of Mines).
“Metal and Mineral Markets’’—New York—reported that effective March 25, 1940, United
States buyers of tin, rubber, jute and various other British Empire products will have to effect
all such purchases in dollars or in “official’’ pounds. This news was contained in an order issued
by the British Exchange Control on March 9. The action will prevent buyers of those British
Empire Products from using the cheaper ‘‘Free’’ pound in making settlements. The exchange
restrictions caused tin prices to rise, Straits tin advancing to 49 cents, New York, on March 9.

on the following percentages—South West Africa 70, Swaziland 70, Uganda 70, Burma 70, Belgian Congo 70, Japan 70, Siam 72.
TANTALUM-COLUMBIUM
Neither tantalum nor columbium ores are commercially produced in Canada, however, it is
interesting to note that the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, reports that columbite-
tantalite has been found in small quantities in a number of feldspar mines in the Dominion.
Ferrocolumbium is used in the manufacture of stainless steels and it has been reported that
the pure metal may be utilized in the construction of certain vacuum tubes.
Tantalum is strongly resistant to acid corrosion, is weldable and easily fabricated. It is used
in chemical process equipment and electronic tubes. Due to its hardness and high melting point,
tantalum carbide is a constituent of hard cutting-tool mixtures. Ferrocolumbium has become an
important alloy for the manufacture of weldable high-speed steels.
Nigeria bas been the principal producer of columbite and Australia of tantalite. Columbo-
tantalite is also produced in the Black Hills, South Dakota, U.S.A. The United States Bureau of
Mines Minerals Year Book, 1938, refers to the recovery of Columbo-tantalite at Manono, Katanga,
Belgian Congo, as a by-product of the tin-mining operations of Geomines and its smelting in
Brussels to an iron-tantalum-columbium alloy. The United States has taken most of the output
of Nigeria and Australia. Imports of columbium ore into the United States in 1937 aggregated
461 short tons valued at $306,086, all from Nigeria except 540 pounds valued at $245 from Brazil.
Tantalum ore imports in the United States in 1937 were 20,897 pounds valued at $40,742 all from
Australia. In 1938 the imports of tantalite into the United States rose to 41,706 pounds valued
at $80,092; the imports of columbite declined to 645,141 pounds valued at $228,078. The Fansteel
Metallurgical Corporation, North Chicago, Illinois, treat columbium and tantalum ores in the
United States. Data relating to possible Canadian imports of columbium and tantalum ore or
alloys are not published. “Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted tantalum ore
August 17, 1939—per pound Ta20s, $1.50 to $2.50 per 60 per cent concentrate, the price depending
on source of supply. Columbium metal per kilo. base prices: rod $560; sheet $500. Tantalum
metal per kilo, base price, $160.60 for C.P. rod, sheet $143; discounts on volume business. These
same prices were quoted May, 1940.
TITANIUM
Ilmenite, the titanium ore so largely employed in the manufacture of pigments, is known to
occur at several places in Canada and commercial shipments of the mineral have been made
during past years from deposits located at St. Urbain and Ivry in the province of Quebec. During
1939, Canadian production came entirely from St. Urbain, Quebec, and totalled 3,694 short tons
valued at $21,267; the mineral was consigned chiefly to the United States.
Paul M. Tyler of the United States Bureau of Mines refers to the current uses of titanium as
follows:—‘‘Although pigments continue to represent the chief outlet for ilmenite, other fields of
use are not being neglected. In metallurgy titanium is not only an effective deoxidizer and
cleansing agent, but an alloying element as well. By addition of titanium, chrome-nickel steels.
are made more resistant to corrosion and chrome-molybdenum steels become easier to weld. In
aluminium and sundry non-ferrous alloys, titanium refines the grain and otherwise contributes to
better structure. A variety of Jow carbon as well as high and medium carbon alloys is now
available, in addition to the older alloys that first found extensive application only for treating
sheet steel and rails. To avoid employing expensive alloys W. Mathesius has patented (British) a
process for introducing titanium into molten steel by carbon reduction from a cover slag. In
welding-rod coatings, the principal function of rutile is to stabilize the ore, though it also tends to
prevent the inclusion of oxides and nitride needles in the deposited metal.”
Because of their great whitening and obliterating power, titanium pigments continue to be
employed widely in paint, rubber, linoleum, leather, plastics, soap, printing inks, paper, textiles
and ceramics.
Imports into Canada of antimony oxide, titanium oxide and white pigments containing not
less than 14 per cent by weight of titanium totalled 4,710,481 pounds valued at $512,219 in 19388
compared with 9,003,693 pounds at $803,198 in 1939. Of the 1939 imports 1,689,329 pounds
came from the United Kingdom and 7,302,923 pounds from the United States. No imports into
Canada of titanium ore or rutile were recorded in 1939.
The bulk of the ilmenite used in the United States is imported from British India and
is
consumed in the manufacture of titanium pigments. Imports of rutile into the United States in
1939 were almost twice as large as in 1938; Australia is the leading foreign source with
Brazil
second.
United States quotations for titanium ore January, 1939, were:—Per gross ton, ilmenite,
45 to 52 per cent TiO. , F.O.B. Atlantic seaboard $10 to $12, according to grade
and impurities.

TUNGSTEN
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, states that occurrences of tungsten-bearing minerals, usually
in the form of scheelite, are known in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia,
and in the Yukon Territory.
The only important production of tungsten ore in Canada reported previous to 1918 is that of
1912, being 14 tons of concentrates produced by the Scheelite Mines Limited, of Moose River,
Nova Scotia. In 1915 the British Government commandeered all supplies of tungsten concentrates
within the Empire at a fixed price of 55 shillings ($13.50) per unit (22.4 pounds) of contained
tungstic acid.
In 1917 a small test shipment of a few hundred pounds was made from Halifax County, Nova
Scotia, and another from Dublin Gulch, Mayo District, Y.T., amounting in all to 580 pounds
running 69-41 per cent WO; and netting $234. The production in 1918 amounted to 133 tons
valued at $11,700 and with a small metallic content of 19,915 pounds of WO;. ‘This production
consisted of 11 tons of concentrates shipped to New York by the Acadia Tungsten Mines Limited,
operating at Burnt Hill, New Brunswick, with also a few small consignments to the Mines
Branch testing plant, Ottawa, from Nova Scotia, Manitoba and the Mayo District, Yukon. A
concentrating mill was erected in 1912 by the Scheelite Mines Limited, operating the Moose
River properties in Nova Scotia and in 1916 a concentrating mill was erected at Burnt Hill, N.B.,
by the Acadia Tungsten Mines Company. The Burnt Hill mines were inspected in 1917 for the
Munitions Resources Commission, Ottawa, and it was then reported that there was some tonnage
of wolframite ore, but that the operators could not afford to produce concentrates at the official
British price of 55 shillings per unit.
Scheelite was discovered near Falcon Lake, Eastern Manitoba, in March, 1918, and operations
were carried on in the district during the year by a new company, the War Metals Production
Company Limited. In 1918 it was also reported that the Cariboo Chisholm Creek Mining Com-
pany Limited, Van Winkle, B.C., had been operating the old deposit on Hardscrabble Creek in the
Cariboo District.
The price of scheelite on the New York market was around $26 per unit during January and
February, 1918; with the signing of the armistice, business came to a complete stop and there were
no quotations for November and December, 1918.
In 1939, for the first time in several years, commercial shipments of tungsten concentrates
were made from a Canadian mine. These totalled 8,825 pounds valued at $4,917 and were
produced by Columbia Tungstens Company, Limited, at its property located at Wells, Cariboo
Mining Division, British Columbia. Early in 1940 a shipment of tungsten concentrates was
made by the Kirkpatrick Tungsten Syndicate from a deposit at Goff, Halifax County, Nova
Scotia. Late in 1939 the tungsten property of the Indian Path Mines, Limited, located near
Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was optioned to Siscoe Gold Mines Limited who carried out diamond
drilling and large scale bulk testing from the underground workings on the east and west ends of
the property. In December, 1939, two shafts at North Waverley, Nova Scotia, were cleaned out
to investigate scheelite occurrences explored there at the close of 1918. During the year under
review both surface and underground work were carried out at the Lake Charlotte tungsten
mines, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. These operations were conducted by Guysborough Mines
Limited and extended from July 15 to the end of the year. In the province of Quebec a tungsten
bearing deposit near Guigues was prospected by the Syndicate Minier de Gaboury.
It is also interesting to note that tungsten is reported to occur with gold in the veins of the
Slave Lake Gold Mines Limited property, Outpost Island, Slave Lake, Northwest Territories; it
is stated that recent sampling of the mine revealed encouraging tungsten values.
The principal use for tungsten is in the manufacture of high-speed tool steels. It is also
employed in certain non-ferrous alloys and special alloy steels. Tungsten carbide cemented with
cobalt is used extensively in industry and recent developments include several special grades,
including combinations of tungsten carbide and tantalum carbide cement with cobalt or nickel or
both, also combinations of tungsten carbide and titanium carbide cemented with cobalt. Tung-
in
sten is also utilized in the making of lamp filaments, radio tube filaments and contact points
electrical apparatus; in the chemical industry it is employed in the manufacture of certain types
of dyes (lakes), and mordants.
China has been the principal world producer of tungsten ores and the production
in that
country has been adversely affected by the Sino-Japanese War. Exports in 1938 were 13,387
metric tons (60 per cent WO; basis) compared with 17,895 tons in 1937 according
to the United
States Bureau of Mines. It was reported early in 1939 that the Chinese Government had granted
to the Peiping Syndicate, Limited, exclusive selling rights for Chinese tungsten ore,
including the
stocks in Hong Kong.
Output in Burma comes principally from the Herminggi and Mawchi mines.
The ore
reserves of the Mawchi mine are said to contain 3-24 per cent tin and tungsten;
exports from
Burma in 1938 were 10,598 metric tons.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted tungsten ore, January,
1939—per unit of
WO; N.Y.: Chinese wolframite $19.50, duty paid. Domestic scheelite,
known good analysis,
carload lots or more $6.00 to $19.00. Ferrotungsten per pound of tungsten contained 75 to 80 per
cent tungsten $1.60 to $1.70. September, 1939: tungsten ore—per unit of
WO;, N.Y.: Chinese
wolframite nominal at $23.75 duty paid. Domestic scheelite, carload lots
$25.00. Tungsten
metal—per pound—98 per cent, powdered $1.85 ; 99-5 per cent $2.50 to $2.75;
99-9 per cent $5
nominal. Chinese tungsten ore was quoted May, 1940, per short ton unit of WO;—duty
paid—
New York $23.00.

VANADIUM
Some of the magnetites of the Rainy River district in Ontario are known to contain relatively
small quantities of vanadium and some research has been conducted as to its economic recovery.
There is no production of either the metal or its ores in Canada at the present time.
The principal occurrences of vanadium are in Arizona, Colorado and Utah in the United
States; Minasragra in Peru; Broken Hill in Northern Rhodesia; and Grootfontein district in South
West Africa.
The metal is employed chiefly in the manufacture of alloy steelsand irons. It is also used in
the form of ammonia meta-vanadate as a catalyst in the manufacture of sulphuric acid and in the
nonferrous, glass, ceramic and colour industries.
Data relating to possible imports of vanadium ores or vanadium compounds or alloys are not
shown separately in Canadian trade reports. In 1938 there were 11 tons of ferrovanadium valued
at $25,324 consumed in Canada in the manufacture of steel.
It was recently reported that vanadium may be recovered at German ferrous smelters from
the treatment of pig iron made from vanadium bearing iron ores. Plant for the recovery of
vanadium was completed in 1938 in Japan by the Japan Iron Sand Industrial Company.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted vanadium ore, January 12, 1939—per
pound VO; contained, 273 cents F.O.B. shipping point. Ferrovanadium, per pound of vanadium
contained, delivered $2.70 to $2.90. These same prices were quoted May, 1940.
The United States Bureau of Mines reported that shipments of vanadium ores in the United
States increased substantially in 1939. Shipments of vanadium and complex ores amounted to
273,000 tons as compared with 247,397 tons in 1938.

ZIRCONIUM
The metal is not produced in Canada; zircon is the most common zirconium mineral and the
Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, states that it, or cyrtolite, commonly occurs In
greater or less amount in Canadian Precambrian pegmatites, also in the pegmatitic apatite-
phlogopite deposits of the Grenville areas in Ontario and Quebec.
‘‘Mineral Industry” states—‘‘Zirconium wire is used in radio tubes and sheet metal in spin-
neret cups for rayon manufacture. Zirconium-silicon and zirconium-ferrosilicon are finding a
growing use in steel making and zirconium powder is used in flashlight mixtures and in ammunition
primers; from a tonnage standpoint, however, the main uses of zirconium compounds are in
enamels and for electrodes or welding-rod coatings, as a scavenger for oxides and nitrides in steel,
and as a refractory.”
According to Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, zirconium is used successfully in the
form of zircon and sodium zirconium silicate in enamel and glaze frits, to produce opacity; as
zirconium oxide it is used as a smelt in the frit and more recently as a mill addition opacifier.
Imports into Canada of zirconium silicate in 1939 were appraised at $5,589 while those of
zirconium oxide in the same period were valued at $40,096 compared with $24,983 in 1938. Data
relating to possible imports of zirconium alloys are not published.
Zirconium alloy was quoted by ‘‘Metal and Mineral Markets”, January, 1939—12 to 15 per
cent zirconium, 39 to 43 per cent silica, $97.50 to $102.50 per gross ton; 35 to 40 per cent zir-
conium, 47 to 52 per cent silica, 14 to 16 cents per pound. Zircon ore per ton, 55 per cent ZrOz,
F.O.B, Atlantic seaboard, carload lots, $55; 5 ton lots, $60. Crude granular zircon $70, F.O.B.
Suspension Bridge, New York; milled $90. The same prices were quoted May, 1940.

CHAPTER SIX
THE NON-FERROUS SMELTING AND REFINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA
The Non-Ferrous Smelting and Refining Industry, as defined by the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, Ottawa, comprises those firms engaged primarily in the smelting of non-ferrous ores or
concentrates and the refining of metals recovered therefrom.
The value added by the industry in the processing of crude or semi-crude material during
1939 totalled $80,057,833 compared with $87,091,374 in the preceding year. Refined products
included gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, aluminium, antimony, bismuth, cobalt, cadmium, selenium
tellurium, radium salts, uranium compounds and sulphur; other end products of individual plants
or companies were copper-nickel matte, cobalt salts, nickel salts, nickel and cobalt oxides, arsenious
oxide, sulphuric acid, platinum metals residues, silver sulphide, zinc dust, zinc oxide, blister and
anode copper and copper matte.
The cost of ores, concentrates and other material treated during 1939 was estimated at
$154,879,498 as against a corresponding value of $173,070,377 in 1938; fuels and purchased
electricity consumed totalled $15,891,301 and the value of chemicals and various other process
supplies used amounted to $11,773,863.
Capital employed by the industry in 1939 was reported at $192,186,465, which figure includes
the value of land, plant, materials on hand and in process, finished products and operating funds.
Employees totalled 12,449 and salaries and wages paid aggregated $19, 372,119 compared with
12,788 and $19,549,963, respectively, in 1938.
Among the outstanding features in Canada’s Mining Industry was an agreement made 1939
by the large base metal producers and the Imperial Government by which the producers were to
supply the Imperial Government with copper, lead and zine at prices which prevailed shortly
before the outbreak of the war. Canada can now furnish large quantities of these metals in the
refined form, whereas in 1914 no refined copper, nickel or zinc and only a comparatively small
amount of refined lead were produced in this country.
There are two large aluminium smelters in Canada. One plant is at Shawinigan Falls,
Quebec, and the other at Arvida, Quebec, the latter being one of the largest in the world. Both
are owned by the Aluminum Company of Canada, Limited. Smelting and fabricating operations
are combined in the works at Shawinigan Falls, Quebec. It was here, incidentally that the
aluminium industry in Canada had its inception. Although bauxite is the largest single raw
material for the production of aluminium, four tons being needed to make one ton of the metal,
approximately three tons of other materials are also required. The most important of these are
petroleum coke, metallurgical coke, cryolite, fluorspar, soda ash and fuel oil. Pitch, tar and a
number of other miscellaneous supplies are also consumed. A large part of the aluminium
production consists of aluminium alloys. For this, various alloying materials are required, such as
silicon and ferro-silicon, manganese, titanium, zinc, and chromium. All bauxite used in the
Canadian plants comes from British Guiana while petroleum coke is imported maialy from Gulf
of Mexico and Great Lakes ports. Cryolite is obtained from Greenland. However, synthetic
cryolite is being used in greater quantities each year. Fluorspar has been obtained mainly from
Southern Europe. Of all electro-metallurgical operations, the production of aluminium consumes
the most electricity, and it is because Canada has such resources of low cost hydro-electric power
that the aluminium industry has been established here. Both the Arvida and Shawinigan plants
were in continuous operation throughout 1939.
During 1939 the Noranda Mines Limited Smelter, at Noranda, Quebec, treated 1,335,298
tons of ore, concentrate and refinery slag and:produced 107,358,107 pounds of anodes. After
deducting the copper, gold and silver which was recovered from the slag received from Canadian
Copper Refiners Limited, the estimated production of new metals was 105,363,477 pounds of
fine copper, 318,599 ounces of gold and 967,943 ounces of silver. These figures include the pro-
duction from 310,874 tons of customs ore and concentrate; the estimated recovery from Horne
Mine ore being 83,257,148 pounds of fine copper, 266,532 ounces of gold and 595,102 ounces of
silver.
With the completion of the extension of the tank house in December, the electrolytic copper
refinery of Canadian Copper Refiners Limited, located at Montreal East, Quebec, was increased
to approximately 100,000 tons of copper per annum and since the first of 1940, refinery production
has been at the new rated capacity.
The smelter of Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited, located at Falconbridge, Ontario, in

1939, treated 576,801 tons of ore comprising 332,724 tons of milling ore and 244,077 tons of smelt-
ing ore. Matte produced totalled 16,965 -3 short tons containing 9,232-5 short tons of nickel and
4,691-9 short tons of copper. The refinery located in Norway operated steadily throughout
the year.
International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited, reported that in 1939 ore smelting at
the Copper Cliff Smelter was uninterrupted and 185,578 tons of bessemer matte and 165,129 tons
of converter copper were produced. The Coniston Smelter ran continuously, processing 852,525
tons of ore and producing 50,587 tons of bessemer matte. At Port Colborne, Ontario, the nickel
refinery produced 131,730,117 pounds of refined nickel, compared with 124,233,682 pounds in
1938. The Electrolytic Copper Refinery, at Copper Cliff, Ontario, received 165,129 tons of molten
converter copper from the Copper Cliff smelter and produced 150,541 tons of refined copper; a
second electric furnace was installed and brought into operation in January, 1939.
At Deloro, Ontario, the plants of the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company, Limited, were
steadily operated throughout the year. Silver-cobalt ores from Northern Ontario were treated
and products included fine silver, arsenic, cobalt, cobalt salts, cobalt oxide and nickel oxide.
Eldorada Gold Mines Limited, operated its refinery at Port Hope, Ontario, for approximately
eleven and a half months during 1939. Shipments received at the refinery in 1939 amounted to
522 tons of pitchblende concentrates. In addition to this the refinery re-treated 160 tons of
tailings from previous years. During the year a new product polonium was introduced to the
market. Its present use is for the production of radioactive electrodes in the spark-plug industry.
No material change was made in the process of refining radium and uranium.
At Flin Flon, Manitoba, a record tonnage of pay charge of Hudson Bay materials and custom
concentrates were treated at the smelter of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Company.
There was smelted during 1939 a total of 341,325 tons of Flin Flon Mine concentrates and ore
having the following assay value:—gold 0-362 ounces per ton; silver 5-36 ounces per ton and
copper 9 per cent. There were shipped 44,805 tons of blister copper containing 142,656 ounces of
gold; 2,141,785 ounces of silver; 88,501,247 pounds of copper and 64,692 pounds of selenium.
There was treated in the zinc plant a total of 110,854 tons of zinc concentrates from which was
produced for sale a total of 77,580,748 pounds of slab zinc. Metallic cadmium production for
the year amounted to 140,438 pounds having an average assay of 99-9882 per cent cadmium.
Custom concentrate and ore treated in 1939 totalled 61,890 tons.
In British Columbia the tonnage of lead ores smelted by the Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing Co. of Canada Ltd., in its plants at Trail, was an all time record in 1939 due to smelting a
. charge of lower lead content. The lead, silver and gold refineries at Trail operated very success-
fully during the year; refined lead production was down due to the ten per cent curtailment which
ended onthe 15th of September. Gold receipts at Trail in both bullion and high grade ores were
lower. The new electrolytic parting plant in the silver refinery went into operation in December.
Operations in the zinc plant were very satisfactory during the year and several new records were
made. An antimony reduction plant was built to work up an accumulation of antimony arsenic
flue dust; this plant made an excellent product. The percentage of sulphur dioxide removed
from flue gases from metallurgical operations and utilized mainly in the production of sulphuric
acid, sulphur and fertilizers, increased to 70-3 per cent compared with 53-3 per cent in 1937.
The principal research invesvigations during the year included the use of oxygen in suspension
roasting of zinc concentrates. Development of an improved process on a semi-commercial scale
for the production of magnesium was successfully concluded. A process for the production of
manganese has been practically completed and production of oil from tar sands was intensely
studied. Compared with 1938 sales and deliveries of various products showed large increases in
both tonnage and dollar value—$35,000,000 against $28,000,000.

The lead refining capacity of the world, as at the end of 1939, aggregated about 1,072,000
short tons in the United States and about 2,174,000 elsewhere, a grand total of about 3,246,000
tons.
Probably not more than 950,000 tons of the listed capacity in the United States and 1,550,000
tons elsewhere, a total of 2,500,000 tons, is to be rated as useful and effective, the remainder being
obsolete, incapable of economical ore supply, or otherwise useless. ‘These accountings are ex-
clusive of capacity in Russia.
Official data for 1938 were not received from Spain, Germany and Japan, and for 1939 there
was an absence of communication for other countries.

The American Bureau of Metal Statistics estimates the capacity of American zinc metallurgical works at the end of 1939
as being nominally for the production of about 600,000 short tons of spelter per annum by distilling, including the capacity in
continuously operating vertical retorts, and about 214,000 tons by electrolysis, a total of about 814,000 tons, but the first-class
effective capacity is probably something less than that. The effective capacity outside the United States at the end of 1939
is estimated at about 1,212,000 metric tons whereof about 330,000 tons were in Australia, Canada, Rhodesia and Great Britain.

Nortr.—In order to correlate data regarding fuels in Canada, this chapter has been prepared
to include statistics of the coal, natural gas, peat and petroleum industries. This survey presents
information regarding these industries as a whole, dealing principally with the mineral industry,
although supplementary data are shown for closely allied manufacturing operations.
The Bureau issues an annual report on Coal Statistics for Canada which may be referred to
for complete details of the Coal Mining Industry.
THE COAL MINING INDUSTRY
Canadian coal mines produced 15,692,698 tons of coal valued at $48,676,990 during 1939;
in the preceding year, 14,294,718 tons worth $43,982,171 were produced while in 1937 the output
totalled 15,835,954 tons at $48,752,048. Bituminous coal output during 1939 amounted to
11,769,296 tons, sub-bituminous coal to 512,101 tons and lignite coal to 3,411,301 tons.
Nova Scotia’s output rose 13-1 per cent in 1939 and aggregated 7,051,176 tons. Production
from New Brunswick mines was 36-9 per cent higher at 468,421 tons. Manitoba produced 1,138
tons as against 2,016 tons in 1938. Saskatchewan operators reported an output of 960,000 tons
or 6-1 per cent below the previous year’s total of 1,022,166 tons. Alberta’s production totalled
5,519,208 tons made up of 2,556,944 tons of bituminous coal, 512,101 tons of sub-bituminous coal
and 2,450,163 tons of lignite coal. In 1938, Alberta mines produced 5,251,233 tons, consisting
of 2,310,479 tons of bituminous coal, 488,915 tons of sub-bituminous coal and 2,451,839 tons of
lignite coal. A 17-5 per cent increase was recorded in British Columbia’s output in 1939 com-
pared with the preceding year; the totals were, 1,692,755 tons and 1,440,287 tons, respectively.
No coal was produced in Yukon during the year under review; in 1938, the output from this
source was 361 tons.
=
Canadian coal exported in 1939 amounted to 376,203 tons; this represented an increase of
6-5 per cent over the tonnage exported a year ago. Ports in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario cleared 226,065 tons of Canadian coal in 1939 ; exportations
through the western ports totalled 150,138 tons. Canada re-exported foreign coal in 1939 to a
total of 119,487 tons compared with 116,322 tons in 1938.
Imports of coal into Canada in 1939 were 4-5 per cent higher at 13,884,816 tons. Anthracite
coal importations during the year amounted to 3,977,805 tons and consisted of 2,605,765 tons
from the United States, 1,034,901 tons from Great Britain, 293,602 tons from Germany and
43,537 tons from French Indo-China. Great Britain supplied 26 per cent of the Canadian
anthracite requirements in 1939 compared with 32-3 per cent in the preceding year and 46-5
per cent in 1934. The United States supplied 65-5 per cent of Canada’s requirements of this
coal during the year as against 53-1 per cent in 1938 and 51-0 per cent in 1934. Receipts of
bituminous coal totalled 9,903,613 tons or 3-5 per cent above the 1938 total. Lignite coal
imports amounted to 3,398 tons in 1939.
Employment was furnished by Canadian coal mines to 25,200 wage-earners, on the average;
in 1938, the average number of those employed was 25,767. Mines in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick employed 14,319 wage-earners during the year while those in the western provinces
employed 10,881 men. Surface workers averaged 257 days works in 1939 and underground
workers, 220 days. In addition to these men, there were 1,272 salaried employees on the mine
pay-rolls. All employees working in or about the Canadian coal mines received salaries and
wages totalling $30,720,991 iu 1939 compared with a total pay-roll of $28,699,781, a year ago.
Coal made available for consumption in Canada during the year amounted to 29,201,311
tons or 7-3 per cent above the tonnage made available in 1938. These figures do not represent
the quantity consumed during the year but, are the actual tonnages of new coal made available
for use in 1939. It was estimated that tons of coal reached the Canadian market
during the year.
It is not coal alone that satisfies Canada’s fuel requirements; in addition, coke, natural and
artificial gas, fuel oil, wood and electricity are used for industrial and domestic purposes.
In 1939, Canadian producers sold 1,085,946 tons of coke (made from coal) for domestic use;
799,653 tons were used in metallurgical works operated by producing companies; 232,027 tons
were used by coke plants as fuel or to make water gas; 379,365 tons were sold for other uses and
66,262 tons were added to stocks. Imports of coke into Canada rose to 485,871 tons from the
1938 total of 414,682 tons. The manufacturers of coke and gas in Canada used 1,076,978 tons of
domestic coal and 2,197,230 tons of imported coal in 1939.
The production of petroleum coke during the year amounted to 66,332 tons; imports totalled
147,505 tons and exports 7,396 tons. Domestic users consumed 32,710 tons of this coke in 1939
compared with 51,684 tons in the preceding year. On December 31, 1939 stocks of petroleum
coke in the hands of fuel dealers, distributors, importers and in storage at refineries totalled
144,233 tons as against 94,089 tons at the end of 1938.
Artificial gas production in 1939 was made up of 34,655,444 thousand cubic feet from
by-product ovens and 6,961,279 thousand cubic feet from gas plants. Of this quantity, 43-1
per cent or 14,936,102 thousand cubic feet was sold; most of the remainder was used in the pro-
ducing plants or their associated metallurgical works. These figures do not include 39,470
thousand cubic feet of Pintsch gas used in lighting railway cars, 7,802,666 thousand cubic feet of
still gas recovered and used at petroleum refineries, nor iron blast furnace gas and some producer
gas, which was recovered and used by producers, for which no records are available.
Natural gas consumption in Canada during 1939 consisted of 19,900,000 thousand cubic
feet for domestic use and 14,300,000 thousand cubic feet for industrial use. An apparent dis-
placement of 796,000 tons of coal is indicated by the domestic consumption of natural gas.
Canada’s supply of fuel and gas oils made available in 1939 amounted to 647-3 million
imperial gallons as against 592-7 million imperial gallons, a yearago. The Canadian consumption
of fuel oil in 1939 included 136-1 million gallons for domestic and building heating, 181-2 million
gallons for industrial use, 204-9 million gallons for bunkering purposes, 53-8 million gallons for
railways and 34-8 million gallons for tractor fuel. A possible coal displacement of 901,324 tons
was indicated by the quantity of fuel oil used for domestic heating in 1939.

THE COKE AND ARTIFICIAL GAS INDUSTRY
The output from coke and gas plants in 1939 included 2,410,095 tons of coke valued at
$16,763,517 (at the works), 41,632,773 thousand cubic feet of gas, of which 41,616,723 thousand
cubic feet valued at $19,160,900 were sold or used, and by-products valued at $3,105,153.
Thirty coke and gas works operated in 1939, including 8 by-product plants, 2 bee-hive plants
and 20 retort coal and water gas plants. Sixteen of these works were located in Ontario, 4 in
British Columbia, 4 in Quebec, 2 in Manitoba, 2 in Nova Scotia and 1 in each of New Brunswick
and Alberta. In addition to these producers, one company in Quebec and two in Ontario pur-
chased coke-oven gas and distributed it for domestic or commercial use and data covering their
operations have been included to round out the figures for the industry.
Output of coke from gas retorts, by-product and bee-hive ovens, totalled 2,410, 095 tons in
1939 compared with 2,352,003 tons in 1938 and 2,570,385 tons in 1937. By-product and bee-hive
ovens produced 2,147,210 tons of coke in 1939 and gas retorts made 262,885 tons. In addition,
66,332 tons of petroleum coke were recovered in petroleum refineries.
Data on the distribution of coke (except petroleum coke) by the producers show that 313,237
tons were sold direct to domestic consumers, 799,653 tons were used in metallurgical works oper-
ated by the producing companies, 232,027 tons were used by coke plants as fuel or to make water
gas, 379,365 tons were sold direct to consumers for foundry and other uses (other than domestic)
and 772,709 tons were sold to dealers for resale. The total distribution was 2,496,991 tons,
including about 67,000 tons withdrawn from producers’ stocks during the year. Total stocks of
coke in the hands of the producers amounted to 311,077 tons at the end of 1939.
Imports of coke made from coal advanced to 435,871 tons in 1939 from 414,682 tons in 1938
and exports to 48,719 tons from 30,537 tons. Imports of petroleum coke during this period
also rose to 147,690 tons from 81,294 tons and exports to 35,604 tons from 25,408 tons.
Manufactured gas, sold and used, amounted to 41,616,723 thousand cubic feet in 1939,
including 34,655,444 thousand cubic feet from by-product ovens and 6,961,279 thousand cubic
feet from gas plants. Sales of gas by the producers totalled 14,936,102 thousand cubic feet, of
which 8,688,352 thousand cubic feet were from by-product ovens and 6,247,750 thousand cubic
feet were from gas works. Most of the remaining gas was used as a fuel in the producing plants
or in their associated metallurgical works. These figures do not include 39,470 thousand cubic
feet of (Pintsch) oil gas for lighting railway cars, 7,802,666 thousand cubic feet of still gas recov-
ered at petroleum refineries, nor iron blast furnace gas and some producer gas which was recovered
and used by the producers but for which no records are available.
The number of customers served with manufactured gas in 1939 was 477,475, the number of
active meters was 497,039, the length of distributing mains was 3,882 miles, and the average
calorific value of the gas sold ranged from 450 to 570 B.T.U. per cubic foot.

NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY

The output of natural gas in Canada in 1939 totalled 35,185,146 thousand cubic feet or
5-2 per cent above the 1938 total. This production includes only the natural gas consumed for
industrial and domestic purposes and does not take into account the waste gas burned in the
Turner Valley field and the gas piped to the Bow Island field for repressuring.
Wells in New Brunswick produced 606,382 thousand cubic feet compared with 577,492
thousand cubic feet in 1938. Approximately 5,900 consumers in Moncton and Hillsboro were
supplied with gas from wells in the Stoney Creek field, near Moncton. Thefe were 39 wells in
operation in this province at the end of 1939.
Ontario’s output rose 9-3 per cent to 11,966,581 thousand cubic feet from the 1938 production
of 10,952,806 thousand cubic feet. Developments in this province in 1939 were summarized,
by Col. R. B. Harkness, Commissioner of Gas for Ontario, as follows:
“The year 1939 has again seen a major increase in the natural gas industry in Ontario, the
production having exceeded that of 1938 by slightly over 1,000,000 thousand cubic feet.
“The number of consumers shows an increase of just under 4,000, which is the normal rate
of increase for the past three years. Natural gas service has been extended to a few villages in
the vicinity of the Brownsville field, and the villages along the pipe line from the Dawn gas field
to London are now supplied with natural gas. The town of Picton in Prince Edward county is
also supplied with a limited quantity of natural gas from wells adjacent to and inside the town
limits. ‘These customers used more gas than they did in the year 1938 but paid the same rates
for their gas. The greater part of the increase in consumption was in industry; late in the year,
the demand for natural gas for manufacturing munitions of war showed a marked increase in
each month. This demand has continued to multiply each month in 1940 and promises to
parallel conditions in 1917, in which year 9,125,752 thousand cubic feet was used in industry.
The 1939 industrial consumption was 2,503,954 thousand cubic feet.
“The development of the Brownsville field has led to a widespread search in that area.
The Union Gas Company bas been successful in discovering another gas field in the same for-
mation that shows great promise. They now have 26 producing wells with a total open flow of
30,556 thousand cubic feet. Exploratory drilling has spread to Delaware, London, Blenheim,
Southwold, Malahide, and Yarmouth townships. The Union Gas Company has also done a
considerable amount of exploratory work in Kent county, particularly in Chatham and Dover
townships and Camden gore. In Chatham township the company now has 9 producing wells,
which, as yet, have not been turned into their transmission mains.
“In the Haldimand and Welland fields drilling activity in 1939 was about the same as in
1938, except in Bertie township, where 31 wells were drilled in 1939 as against 10 wells in 1938.
Within this field, now 50 years old, there are still small areas where the gas has not yet been
exhausted. In many instances these areas are outlined and drilled by a study of the rock pressures
of the old wells. Although the wells are small as compared with other gas fields, the high retail
price in Welland county makes this exploration profitable.
“Further exploratory drilling was carried out in Prince Edward county, where 6 small
producers were completed.
“The Haldimand gas field, after declining in production from 1912 to 1925, has shown an
increase nearly every year since 1925 and now equals its production of 20 years ago. The number
of producing wells in Haldimand in 1919 was 720 and their average production 3,250 thousand
cubic feet. In 1939 there were 1,602 producing wells in Haldimand, and the average production
was 1,317 thousand cubic feet. The wholesale price of gas in this field is at present about 30
cents per thousand cubic feet an average gross return per well of $394.10, which is not a great
deal today to cover the costs of drilling, operation, and maintenance of a gas well and the return
to the owner of his investment and a profit.
“The Welland field shows a slight increase, due no doubt to the 24 new wells drilled. This
increase is not enough, however, to offset the average annual decline. This field, now 50 years
old, will still maintain a diminishing production for a number of years. The present average
annual production per well is 945 thousand cubic feet.
“The Elgin county fields show a considerable drop in production. This is due mainly to
operating conditions, which necessitated an increase in pipe line pressure, which in turn restricted
the delivery of the gas from the wells. In addition to this, considerable trouble was encountered
in operating the wells, owing to salt accumulations in some wells and the intrusion of salt water into
others.
“The Tilbury field appears to be showing a steady annual decline. This may be offset for a
few years by the use of compressors, which were in operation for part of 1939. More compressors
are being installed in 1940.
“The Declute field has been showing an increased annual production since it was discovered.
Water came into the wells in the west end of the field some years ago, and at the end of 1939 the
wells in the extreme east end of the field suddently went to water. It is therefore probable that
the production of the year 1939 or 1940 may be the peak.
“The Dawn field has also shown a steady increase in production. Unlike the Declute field,
no water has appeared in the Dawn field but the pressure has shown a considerable decline. This
field, however, is not drawn on as extensively as the Declute field.
“Considerable mechanical difficulties were encountered in operating the gathering lines and
transmission lines in and from the Brownsville field during the winter of 1939-40, from the natural
gas hydrates in these high pressure lines. This same difficulty is well known in the industry,
but in this instance the trouble was accentuated by reason of the small size of the pipe lines and
fittings as well as the lack of sufficient fittings and drips. Most natural gas contains some
moisture, and under high pressure this appears to combine with the hydrocarbon vapours of low
boiling point to form solids. This ‘freezing’ occurs at low points in the pipe lines and at valves,
drips, and places where the gas flow is retarded.
“The freezing in the pipe lines can only be remedied by removing the hydrates and moisture
or heating the gas. At well heads and drips this cannot be done, and the consequent freezing
puts a heavy burden on the operating crew. Where the pipe line is not entirely blocked, alcohol
may be introduced into the line on the upstream side of the block and the hydrates dissolved;
where possible, heat should be applied by building a fire in the trench. The application of heat
at well heads is the quickest way to remedy the matter, followed by protection to the well head
by wrapping with insulating material. Gas should be heated before it passes through a regulator
or orifice meter. Another effective means of dealing with this problem is by inserting a calcium
chloride dryer or other moisture absorber, in the pipe line.
‘Where pressures are low and pipe lines large or volumes small, very little trouble is encount-
ered from freezing. The hydrates are present and the pipes will be found to be lined with a
sort of hoar frost, which undoubtedly reduces the capacity of the line, but a few warm days
will decrease or eliminate this trouble. Where the pressures carried are high, a ‘frozen’ pipe
may not thaw out until the temperature of the pipe reaches 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, depending
on the nature of the hydrates.”’
There were 191 operating, distributing and drilling firms active in the natural gas industry
in Ontario during 1939. These firms reported a total capital investment of $49,936,462. Em-
ployment was furnished by this industry to 1,414 salaried employees and wage-earners.
Saskatchewan produced 96,423 thousand cubic feet of natural gas in 1939 compared with
90,285 thousand cubic feet in the preceding year. The 1939 output was used principally to
supply customers in Lloydminster.
Natural gas production in Alberta totalled 22,513,660 thousand cubic feet in 1939; a year
ago, 21,822,108 thousand cubic feet were produced. As stated before, these figures include only
the natural gas consumed for industrial and domestic purposes and do not take into account the
waste gas burned in the Turner Valley field and the gas piped to the Bow Island field for storage.
The Turner Valley field is the largest natural gas producing area in Canada; this field is
located about 35 miles southwest of Calgary. Industrial and domestic users consumed 15,693,314
thousand cubic feet of Turner Valley gas in 1939; in the previous year, 15,333,488 thousand cubic
feet were used. Approximately 24,300 consumers in Calgary, Lethbridge and the district were
served with this gas in 1939; in addition, a considerable quantity was used in the field for drilling
purposes. A small quantity of Turner Valley gas was piped to the Bow Island field, during the
year, for repressuring wells in that area. Since 1930, about 13,944,000 thousand cubic feet of
this gas has been piped into these wells.
Approximately 2,600 consumers in the city of Medicine Hat were supplied with gas from
the Medicine Hat field. ‘The total consumption of gas in this city was 2,127,802 thousand cubic
feet as against 1,999,404 thousand cubic feet in 1938. The Redcliff field supplied 282 industrial
and domestic users with 626,861 thousand cubic feet of gas in 1939. This field is located about
two miles west of Medicine Hat.
Edmonton obtains its supply of gas from the Viking field, which is situated about 80 miles
southeast of the city. In 1939, gas was supplied by this field for 11,500 consumers in Edmonton
and 500 users outside the city. ‘Twenty-one wells were in operation in the Viking field during
the year.
In Alberta, on December 31, 1939, there were 96 wells producing natural gas only compared
with 97 wells a year ago. Capital employed by the companies operating in this industry in
Alberta during the year was $26,544,265 as against $26,057,961 in 1938. The industry employed
485 persons who received salaries and wages totalling $725,152. The cost of fuel and electricity
used during the year was $8,266. ;
At Fort Norman, in the Northwest Territories, 1,500 thousand cubic feet of natural gas
were used for power purposes.
Canada imported 114,396 thousand cubic feet of mixed gas (natural and artificial) by pipe
line from the United States during 1939; this gas was valued at $75,380. In 1938, importations
totalled 133,062 thousand cubic feet worth $87,311.
The Canadian natural gas industry in 1939 was represented by 222 operators who reported
a total capital employment of $78,409,338. These operators employed 1,990 salaried employees
and wage-earners who received a total remuneration of $2,536,220. Fuel and electricity used
during the year cost $82,877.

THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN CANADA
Including (1) Production of Crude Petroleum; and (2) Petroleum Products
1. Production of Crude Petroleum
The Canadian production of crude petroleum and natural gasoline set up a new high record
in 1939 when 7,826,301 barrels worth $9,846,352 were produced. In 1938, the output totalled
6,966,084 barrels valued at $9,230,173.
Production from New Brunswick wells in 1989 amounted to 22,799 barrels compared with
19,276 barrels in the preceding year. As usual, the 1939 output was obtained from the Stony
Creek field, near Moncton. The small topping plant at Weldon was in operation during the
year and produced gasoline and fuel oil from the Stony Creek crude.
Ontario’s production rose to 206,379 barrels, averaging $1.95 per barrel from the 1938
total of 172,641 barrels at $2.08 per barrel.
Col. R. B. Harkness, Commissioner of Gas for Ontario, summarizes the petroleum situation
in that province as follows::
“The quantity of petroleum produced in Ontario in 1939 has exceeded any year since 1919,
when the producer received $3.40 per barrel for his oil, which price included a bonus of 14 cents
per gallon paid by the Dominion Government, as compared with $1.98 in 1939. The total
for 1939 is 206,379 barrels, which exceeds 1938 by 33,737 barrels. This increase is mainly from
the oil field in Warwick, Metcalfe, and Adelaide townships, discovered in 1938 and developed
in 1938 and 1939. The Dover (Raleigh) field shows a considerable increase over 1938, but it
could be more accurately stated by saying that in the year 1938 the production in the Dover
field had a severe setback due to operating consitions, which have been remedied to a considerable
extent in 1939. The Bothwell field appears to have reached or possibly passed its peak pro-
duction from the reclaimed area which was first developed in 1860-66. Other fields show slight
variations that are not unusual.
“The attempt to revive the old Fletcher (Tilbury East) oil field, begun in 1937, has not
- been successful. This old field produced oil from 1906 until about 1916, when the major part
of it was abandoned. A few of the best wells were pumped at intervals until 1923, when the
Dominion Government bonus on crude oil was removed; it was then found that there was no
profit in the operation owing to the quantities of salt water to be pumped.
“Tt might be said that increase is due to the low price, which forced producers to take stock
of their operations, eliminate non-profitable wells, and use salvaged casing, tubing, and pumps
to equip other producing wells that were profitable. The younger generation of Ontario operators
have shown considerable ingenuity in designing and building mobile power-driven units for
repairing and “cleaning out” old oil wells. Most of these units have been built around old
motor vehicles and they have taken the place of the expensive and cumbersome equipment
in use a decade ago. The result has been that maintenance and repairs have been speeded
up, and the cost, both overhead and operating, has been reduced.
“The price paid for Ontario crude averaged $1.98 per barrel in 1939, the lowest in any year
since 1933. As 98 per cent of crude oil refined in Ontario is imported, the price paid Ontario
producers is dependent on the price paid for imported crude at Ontario refineries, with, of course,
adjustments on the basis of specific gravity. The great flood of oil from the new field in the
state of Illinois had the effect of depressing the price of oil in the United States with a consequent
reflection in the price of Ontario crude. The price of oil at Petrolia from January 1 to November
5 was $1.90 per barrel, and from November 5 to December 31, $2.10. Oil Springs crude brings
a bonus of 7 cents over these prices. When it is considered that the average production from
operating wells in the Petrolia field is about 8 gallons per day, and in Oil Springs, 4 gallons,
an income per well per day in Oil Springs of about 21 cents at $1.90 per barrel, it can easily be
seen that the oil producers are operating on a very small margin of profit, and even a small
variation in price may mean disaster. It at once becomes evident that these old Ontario oil
fields are more than ever a training ground for skillful, ingenious, and efficient operators.”’
Thirty-nine drilling rigs were in operation in 1939; capital employed by the operators of
these rigs was $133,876. Sixty-six men were employed during the year; salaries and wages
paid amounted to $37,242. Dry holes drilled numbered 85 with a total footage of 45,292; 63
producing wells were drilled to a total depth of 28,275 feet.
A new high level was reached in the production of crude petroleum and natural gasoline
in Alberta during 1939; the year’s output totalled 7,576,932 barrels compared with 6,751,312
barrels in 1938, the previous record year. Production in the Turner Valley field during 1939
ranged from a low point of 334,877 barrels in February to a peak of 874,064 barrels in July.
Four natural gasoline absorption plants were active in Alberta during 1939. The Royalite
Oil Company Limited operated two of these plants; the other two were operated by the Gas
& Oil Products Limited and the British American Oil Company. The total natural gasoline
output of these plants in 1939 was 299,409 barrels as against 503,612 barrels in the preceding
year and 653,887 barrels in 1937.
Drilling operations were in progress on 79 wells in Alberta during 1939 and approximately
343,000 feet were drilled. Thirty-six wells were brought into production during the year and
13 dry wells were drilled. In 1938, drilling activities were reported on 93 wells and the footage
drilled was 361,000. Two hundred and seventeen wells were in operation in Alberta at the
close of 1939 and drilling was in progress on 30 other wells at the close of the year. Operations
in this province resulted in the use of 318,901 feet of casing weighing 5,068 tons; in the previous
year, 442,473 feet of casing weighing 7,418 tons were used. The value of the casing used in
1939 was $602,713 compared with $1,045,590 in 1938. Capital employed by the 113 firms
active in Alberta during the year amounted to $50,604,821. These firms employed 1,499 salaried
employees and wage-earners who received salaries and wages totalling $2,371,999.
Activities in Alberta during 1939 were reviewed by Mr. J. L. Irwin, Statistician, Alberta
Department of Lands and Mines, as follows:
“‘At the close of 1938 it was stated that the most important event of that year was the
bringing into production in December of the Home-Millarville, No. 2 well, the largest producer
in the Valley, situated at the extreme north end of the field. A year has gone by and it is still
the largest producer.
“By a strange coincidence, with the close of 1939, a somewhat similar event took place in the
same area when Royalite No. 43, about 24 miles south-east of the Home No. 2 well, came in and
took its place as Turner Valley’s second largest producer.
“The new well was drilled only to the upper producing zone of the limestone. Without
going to the lower, its original production test through a 1’’ chock gave 2,052 barrels a day and
was given an allowable of 407 barrels a day which was reduced to 317 in the allowable production
schedule issued by the Conservation Board on December 22, 1939.
“Between Home 2 and Royalite 43 the Home 3 and Home 4 wells have been drilling. Home
4, at the time this review is written—the latter part of January, 1940—has completed operations
and is undergoing a test. It is too early yet to state its performance but initial investigations
have already proved it to be a commercial producer. Home 3, already in the limestone, will be
completed shortly and should, without doubt, become a producer as well.
“Turner Valley’s productive crude oil zone is at present known to be about 17 miles in length
and approximately 1 mile in width. This area, of course, may become larger. The line curves
from the southern end to the north-west, following the general trend of the foothills. °
“In this zone there are now 97 producing oil wells. About 90 per cent of this number are
situated in the south end of the field in an area some five miles in length and one in width. The
remaining 10%, with the exception of two wells in the centre of the field, are in the north end, a
section which has already produced two of the largest wells in the Valley and which is coming
more strongly into the production picture all the time.
“Tn the half-yearly review published last July it was stated that a test well—the Argus—
was drilling in the centre of the 17 mile line, and that another was drilling 3 miles to the south-
east—Anglo 8. Both these wells have now been brought in as commercial producers. Halfway
between them, a third test in the Arrow well is being drilled. Its present depth is around 6,000’—
in the Lower Bentons.
“As formerly stated, the two zones—north from the central Argus well to the richly pro-
ductive north end, and south from the centre to the present main productive zone—offer an
immense area still awaiting development.
“With this development fully carried out, the present confines of the Turner Valley oil area
should possess, in numbers of producing oil wells, a total at least double of the present one.
“On the completion of such development and with a market sufficiently widened to absorb
the Valley’s entire production—on the more generous conservation basis as outlined by Dr.
Brown in his evidence given at the McGillivray Commission, a basis which could be carried out
without danger to the field—the Turner Valley productive area should then be able to produce
in oil volume a quantity equivalent to the 1939 volume of Iraq, which possesses a 1,200 mile
pipe-line to the Mediterranean coast.
“Tf the Valley’s productive area becomes extended, the situation will of course be even more
improved, and with the addition of at least one more major field, somewhere in the province,
Alberta will have become a definite factor amongst the oil producing countries of the world.
“Exploration was continued through the year in other Alberta fields.
“The Vermilion-Lloydminster field, in the centre of the province on the Alberta-Saskatche-
wan border, is attracting considerable attention. Oil production is secured in this area from
1,400 to 2,000 feet from the surface, the average cost of a well with modern equipment being
around $20,000 or less—about one-eighth of the cost of a Turner Valley well.
“The oil has an average gravity of 15° A.P.I. and has a good base containing a high octane
value suitable for aviation gasoline. An analysis of the product from the Wain Town well, now
known as Franco-Battleview No. 2, in the Vermilion area, made by James A. Kelso, Director of
Industrial Laboratories of the University of Alberta, shows 3-2% gasoline and naptha; 4-:8%
kerosene distillate; 31% gas oil and fuel oil; 15-6% lubricating distillate and 44-8% residuum,
soluble in carbon bisulphide to the extent of 99-5%.
‘The Steveville field in the southern part of the province—about 70 miles west of the Saskat-
chewan border—is continuing as a centre of activity. Standard Oil of British Columbia, a
subsidiary of Standard of California, is now drilling in the extreme south of this area close to the
town of Princess. The test in this location of the field is being watched with considerable interest
with a view to possible results leading perhaps to new development in this sector. The Anglo-
Canadian wells to the north have been capped as gassers.
“Other areas under development during the year were as follows: Brazeau, Clearwater,
Grease Creek, Kootenay Dome, Moose Dome, Sheppard Creek, Waite Valley, Whiskey Creek,
Pouce Coupe, Wainwright, Cardston, Del Bonita, Spring Coulee and Taber.”
Discovery No. 1 and 2 wells in the Northwest Territories, near Fort Norman, were operated
during 1939 and produced 20,191 barrels of crude petroleum; a year ago, 22,855 barrels were
produced. This oil, which ranged from 38° to 41° Bé, was treated at a small refinery near Fort
Norman. The resultant products, gasoline and fuel oil, were used to a considerable extent in
connection with mining operations in the Great Bear Lake area.

2, PETROLEUM PRODUCTS INDUSTRY IN CANADA

Forty-two petroleum refineries operating in Canada during 1939 were distributed by prov-
inces, as follows: 11 in Saskatchewan, 11 in Alberta, 5 in Ontario, 5 in Manitoba, 4 in Quebec, 3 in
British Columbia and 1 in each of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Northwest Territories.
Operating refineries had a capacity of 200,020 barrels of crude oil per day, distributed as follows—
Quebec, 64,500 barrels or 32-2 per cent; Ontario, 44,500 barrels or 22-2 per cent ; Nova Scotia,
32,500 barrels or 16-3 per cent; British Columbia, 22,700 barrels or 11-4 per cent; Alberta,
18,250 barrels or 9-1 per cent; Saskatchewan, 14,620 barrels or 7-3 per cent; Manitoba, 2,550
barrels or 1-3 per cent; New Brunswick, 250 barrels or 0-1 per cent and the Northwest Territories,
150 barrels or 0-1 per cent. Eighteen of these plants reported cracking units in use with an
aggregate capacity of about 95,500 barrels per day.
During the year 1,307,704,411 gallons of imported crude oil and 262,198,884 gallons of crude
oil, naphtha and absorption gasoline from Canadian wells, or a total of 1,569,903,295 gallons were
put through Canadian refineries; this was about 61 per cent of the quantity they are equipped to
handle. Over 63 per cent or 996,684,536 gallons was imported from the United States, 20 per
cent or 311,019,875 gallons came from other countries and nearly 17 per cent came from
Canadian wells. The total cost at the refineries of all crude oil and napbtha charged to stills
during the year was $68,046,834. Stocks of crude and naphtha held at refineries on December 31
were reported at 154,546,529 gallons.
Refinery production of gasoline in 1939 amounted to 740,563,619 gallons of which 405,738,237

gallons were made by the straight run process and 334,825,382 gallons by cracking. In addition,
the refineries used 34,231,014 gallons of imported casinghead gasoline for blending purposes, but
this was not included in the Canadian production figures. The gallonage of gasoline made in
1939 was the greatest on record, being 13 per cent greater than the output in 1938, which in turn
was 2 per cent over 1937. The factory selling value of the gasoline made during 1939 was
$64,491,018. Stocks of gasoline held by refineries at the year end included 119,056,751 gallons
of straight run and cracked gasoline and 10,556,679 gallons of imported casinghead. In 1939
there was an output of 10,479,315 gallons of natural gasoline from absorption plants in Alberta.
Of this amount, only 483,000 gallons were sold direct to consumers while the remainder went to
refineries for further treatment. The amount used in refineries is included with the gallonage
charged to stills and the refined gasol‘ne made therefrom is included in the refinery output figures.
Imports of gasoline, including casinghead, amounted to 109,021,177 gallons during 1939,

which added to a production of 740,563,619, less the increase in refinery stocks of 31,953,163
and less the exports of 3,443,416, made an apparent Canadian consumption for the year of
814,188,217 gallons. Actual sales as reported to the Provincial Governments under the Gasoline
Tax Acts amounted to only 807,666,298 gallons.
Production in Canadian refineries of fuel and gas oils (excluding. any made and used for
cracking purposes) totalled 582,705,683 gallons of which 521,232,546 gallons were made for
sale
and 61,473,137 gallons for use as fuel in the producing plant. Imports aggregated 59,960,460
gallons and exports amounted to 2,879,286 gallons. Refinery stocks at the end of the year
amounted to 75,240,018 gallons or about seven and a half million gallons less than in 1938. The
apparent consumption in Canada, as calculated from the above figures, was 647,298,402 gallons.
Output of tractor and engine distillates was 33,620,396 gallons in 1939, imports amounted
to 1,257,808 gallons, and refinery stocks declined 3,146,182 gallons. The apparent Canadian
consumption was 38,024,386 gallons.
Lubricating oils were produced both in the refineries and in the blending plants, the actual
figures being 23,656,313 gallons and 1,360,759 gallons respectively, a total of 25,017,072 gallons.
By adding to this total the imports of 18,067,304 gallons and the decline in refinery
stocks of
194,687 gallons a consumption in Canada of 43,279,063 gallons is indicated.
Lubricating greases were produced as follows—845,140 pounds in the blending plants

and
12,296,476 pounds in the refineries, a total of 13,141,616 pounds. The latter quantity plus
the
imports of 7,719,447 pounds indicates a consumption in Canada of 20,861,063 pounds
during
1939.
Capital employed in the petroleum refining industry in 1939 was reported at $65,784,933, of
which $35,216,303 was the value placed on lands, buildings and equipment. The average number
of employees was 4,675 and payment to these workers in salaries and wages amounted to
$7,736,330. Materials used in refining operations cost $73,922,206, fuel and electricity cost
$4,573,570 and the products were valued at $103,494,238.

‘THE ASBESTOS MINING INDUSTRY, AND THE ASBESTOS PRODUCTS

INDUSTRY
Production (mine sales) of primary asbestos in Canada during 1939, including all grades,
totalled 364,472 short tons valued at $15,859,212 compared with 289,793 short tons at $12,890,195
in 1938. The value of sales in 1939 was the highest ever recorded and the tonnage shipped
was surpassed only by that in 1937. Production of the mineral in Canada is confined almost
entirely to the Eastern Townships of the province of Quebec. In 1939 a relatively few tons
were shipped from a deposit located in Northern Ontario.
Canadian asbestos as produced commercially in Quebec is of the chrysotile or serpentine
variety and is of high quality. Reserves of milling grade asbestos rock have been reported
as sufficient for many years of commercial fibre production. Production of asbestos in Canada
from 1880 to 1939, inclusive, totalled 6,930,368 short tons valued at $255,017,509.
The average value per ton for all grades of mine shipments in 1939 was $43.51 compared
with $44.48 in 1938; value of crudes in 1939 was $300.68 per ton against $328.21 in 1938; fibres,
$62.12 per ton in 1939 compared with $59.54 in 1938 and shorts, $17.15 in 1939 against $17.97
The total value of Canadian asbestos exports in 1939 totalled $15,844,703 compared with
$13,316,558 in 1938. Imports into Canada of various asbestos products in 1939 were appraised
at $1,072,443 against $911,551 in the preceding year.
The number of Canadian asbestos companies reported as active in 1939 totalled 8; capital
employed in the industry amounted to $22,489,233; employees numbered 3,784 against 3,711
in 1938 and salaries and wages distributed aggregated $4,347,064 compared with $4,024,363
in 1938.
Complete and finally revised data on world asbestos production in 1939 are not yet available.
In 1936 world production totalled 503,000 long tons of which the British Empire contributed
353,000 long tons; in 1938 production within the Empire totalled 344,000 long tons. The
principal asbestos producing countries in the order of their output are Canada, Russia, Southern
Rhodesia and the Union of South Africa.
The Bureau of Mines of Quebec reviews the asbestos industry in 1939 as follows: ‘‘Asbestos
is one of the major mineral products of the Province. In terms of value it ranks second in our
list of mineral production, coming immediately after gold. In 1939, the shipments of asbestos
fibre amounted to 364,454 tons valued at $15,858,492. In point of value it is a new record,
exceeding the value of the 1920 production which was $14,749,048, the previous high level of
all time, when the asbestos prices were abnormally high.
“Asbestos Corporation, Limited, operated its four principal mines, the King, the Beaver,
both in the Thetford area, the British Canadian mine in Black Lake and the Vimy Ridge in
Coleraine. The other properties of this Company remained inactive all year.
“Johnson’s Company, worked actively its two mines. The main producing mine of this
Company is at Thetford Mines, near the King and the Bell mines. The second is at Black
Lake, where operations were carried on day and night during the whole year.
“Bell Asbestos Mine.—At present the main supply of asbestos rock is still obtained from
the open pit workings but the development work for changing to underground operations is
far advanced and some of the rock comes from the underground workings. A new hoisting
shaft has been sunk to a depth of 500 feet. Started in April, 1939, it was completed early in
January 1940. The shaft head-frame of steel, is 135 feet high, and the outside dimensions
of the shaft are 123 by 123 feet.
“Canadian Johns-Manville Company, Limited, operated its mine and mill continuously
throughout the year, although the mill slowed down somewhat during the first months, the
week’s work varying from 4 to 6 days. The Cottrell plant which was set up to abate the dust
was started in February and the conditions are greatly improved thereby.
“Quebec Asbestos Corporation, at East Broughton operated all year, with the exception
of one month in the spring, when the storage sheds were filled to capacity. .
“Apart from the above producing companies, a certain amount of exploration work was
done on asbestos prospects in the townships of Tingwick, Cranbourne, Thetford, Talon and
Broughton.”

Asbestos is marketed by the producer in the crude condition (long-fibred material only);
in a partly opened state; and in a condition ready for use, i.e., completely fluffed out and freed
as much as possible from impurities. The world’s largest market is in the United States, and
Canada’s proximity to this market confers very real advantages on the asbestos industry in
this country.
Prices throughout 1939 remained the same as in 1938, and were as follows:—No. 1 crude
$700 to $750 per ton; No. 2 crude $150 to $350; spinning fibre $110 to $200; shingle fibre $57
to $78; paper fibre $40 to $45; cement stock $21 to $25; floats $18 to $20; shorts $12 to $16.50
per ton.

THE ASBESTOS PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

Fourteen factories in Canada were occupied chiefly in the manufacture of asbestos goods
in 1939. Production by these works was valued at $1,783,993, this output being 17 per cent
above the 1988 total of $1,531,118, but 6 per cent below the corresponding figure for 1937. Pro-
ducts included brake linings valued at $639,884, boiler and pipe covering at $156,878, clutch
facings at $147,249, asbestos packings at $112,649, and such other lines as asbestos gaskets,
paper, cloth, blackboards, yarn, dryer felts, cements, etc.
The factories which operated in this industry in 1939 were distributed as follows: in Quebec,
7; in Ontario, 6; and in Nova Scotia, 1. Fixed and working capital as represented by these
works totalled $2,003,516; the number of employees averaged 415 for each month of the year,
and total payments in salaries and wages amounted to $497,324. Expenditures for fuel and
electricity totalled $99,711 and materials for manufacturing cost $724,424.

FELDSPAR AND QUARTZ MINING INDUSTRY
Owing to the very close physical association of these minerals in many Canadian deposits
(pegmatites), it has been found difficult for some operators to make a separation of all data
pertaining to the mining of each individual mineral and, for this reason, the general statistics
relating to capital, employment, fuel and electricity, etc., have been combined in this Chapter.
Since 1936 corresponding statistics relating to the production of nepheline-syenite have been
included with those pertaining to the commercial production of feldspar and quartz.
During 1939 the gross value of production by the industry and including the value of feldspar,
quartz and nepheline-syenite sold totalled $1,352,671 compared with corresponding values of
$1,233,647 in 1938 and $1,428,714 in 1937. In 1939 commercial shipments of feldspar were
made only from properties located in Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec; quartz in various forms
was produced in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan while production of nepheline-
syenite was confined to the province of Ontario.
The number of firms reported as active in the industry in 1939 totalled 48, capital employed
was recorded at $1,591,015, employees numbered 338, salaries and wages paid amounted to
$330,170 and the value of fuel, electricity and process supplies consumed totalled $178,721.
The net value of all products sold was estimated at $1,173,950 compared with $1,065,138 in 1938.
FELDSPAR
Production of feldspar in Canada during 1939 totalled 12,500 short tons valued at $112,309
compared with 14,058 short tons at $129,293 in 1938. Of the 1939 output 5,399 tons valued
at $60,923 were mined in the Province of Quebec, 7,061 tons at $51,056 in Ontario and 40 tons
worth $330 in Manitoba.
According to the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, nepheline-syenite used as a substitute for straight
feldspar in the glass trade, on account of its higher content of alumina, is doubtless responsible
for the decreased sales of Canadian feldspar. This is a condition that may be expected to con-
tinue because, in the United States, to which much of the Canadian product is shipped, one-half
of the feldspar now used is consumed in glass manufacture. Canadian spar, however, enjoys
a high reputation as a standard grade for various ceramic purposes, and a moderate demand
is likely to be maintained for both domestic use and for export.
The output of crude feldspar in the United States rose sharply in 1939, exceeding in quantity
any year except 1937 but the value was less than that in several earlier years, according to the
Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior. However, there was in 1939 a
substantial production of feldspathic material known as “aplite”’, in Virginia, which might
have been included in the totals were it possible to do so without revealing confidential infor-
mation. Even excluding this material, which virtually made its commercial debut in 1939,
the average value of the output ($4.39) was less than in 1938, continuing a steady downtrend
since 1936, when the average sales realization reported by producers was $5.32 a long ton.
Sales of ground feldspar in the United States increased sharply compared with 1938, the
tonnage rising 20-8 per cent and the value 16-1 per cent. However, compared with 1937,
the all-time record year, they were 7-2 per cent less in quantity and 17-9 per cent less in value.
Of the total of 259,194 short tons sold by merchant mills in 1939, 53 per cent, or 138,336 tons
were shipped to the glass industry; about 34 per cent (87,209 tons) consumed in pottery manu-
facture; 11 per cent (28,356 tons) used by the enamel trades; and the remainder entered miscel-
laneous uses, chiefly ceramic. Grinding mills processing 99 per cent of the total feldspar ground
in the United States reported distribution of shipments by States in 1939. Chief vonsuming
States in order of tonnage were: Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia,
Ijlinois and New York.

NEPHELINE-SYENITE
Production of nepheline-syenite in Canada during 1939 was valued at $140,148 compared
with $142,737 in the preceding year. The output in both years came from properties located in
eastern Ontario.
The following information relating to nepheline-syenite is abstracted from report No. 791
issued by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa:—‘“‘Nepheline-syenite is an igneous rock consisting of a
mixture of the feldspathoid mineral nepheline (or nephelite), a silicate or alumina and soda, and
varying amounts of soda and potash feldspars. It is used in the ceramic trade (at present mainly
in the glass industry) as a substitute for straight feldspar. -
“Interest in the material as an industrial mineral or rock is of recent date, the first pro
duction being in 1936, when Canadian Nepheline Ltd., opened a quarry at Blue Mountain in
Methuen township, Peterborough county, about 27 miles northeast of Lakefield, and erected a
mill at Lakefield to crush and process the rock for market.”
During 1939 the mineral was shipped by the Canadian Flint and Spar Co. Ltd. from the
Bentley mine, Dungannon township, Hastings county; by Canadian Nepheline Ltd., from
Methuen township, Peterborough county; by the Temagami Development Company Ltd., from
the Morrison property, Dungannon township and by the New England Nepheline Co. Inc., from
the Bancroft mine, Bancroft, Ontario.
The potential nepheline-syenite reserves of the Central Ontario region are undoubtedly
very large, the Blue Mountain occurrence alone being a massive body about eight miles long and
consisting in a large part of such rock. Numerous small outcrops are known in the Bancroft and
adjacent areas to the north.

¢ Produced in Ontario only.

(b) First commercial production in Canada.
Nepheline-syenite used in Canada during 1938 in the manufacture of glass totalled 2,538
tons valued at $41,678; in 1939 the consumption by this industry was 3,472 tons worth $58,629.
QUARTZ (SILICA)
The production of natural silica or quartz in Canada during 1939 totalled 1,582,935 short
tons valued at $1,100,214 compared with 1,380,011 tons at $961,617 in 19388. Output of primary
silica products by the Canadian Quartz Mining industry includes crude and crushed dyke quartz,
quartzite, sandstone and natural silica sands and gravels. The mineral in one or more of the
forms thus defined was produced during 1939 in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
Shipments of silica in Nova Scotia were made to steel plants largely for the making of silica brick.
In Quebec high grade silica sands were produced for the manufacture of glass and chemicals
while a considerable tonnage of these same sands was sold for sand-blasting and various other
purposes; in the same province relatively large quantities of crushed quartzite or sandstone were
mined and milled for the manufacture of silicon carbide and other products. The greater part
of the tonnage of silica shipped in Ontario during 1939 represented material intended for use in
the production of silica brick and ferro-silicon and for the fluxing of nickel-copper ores. Quartz
production as recorded for Saskatchewan represented low-grade natural silica sands or gravels
shipped as flux to the Flin Flon Smelter of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.
The price per ton of the several grades of silica varies greatly depending on its purity and on
the purpose for which it is to be used. Silica, on the whole, is a comparatively low-priced com-
modity, and therefore the location of a deposit with respect to markets is of great importance.
According to a report issued by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, the larger markets for silica are in
the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and any new deposits being opened up should be within
economic reach of either Montreal or Toronto.
Imports into Canada during 1939 of silex or crystallized quartz, ground or unground totalled
2,751 short tons valued at $61,497; imports of silica sand for glass, carborundum and steel and
filtration plants, etc., in the same year, amounted to 167,721 short tons worth $349,256.

In 1916 it was stated that, included with the annual statistics of quartz was a small production
of grinding pebbles obtained from near Jackfish, Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Superior,
by the Canada Pebble Co., Ltd. These pebbles were used chiefly in the cement industry. It
was also reported that considerable deposits of rounded quartzite pebbles, suitable for grinding
purposes, were found on the Cypress Hills, south of Maple Creek, Southern Saskatchewan.
During 1930 the production of grinding pebbles from the Jackfish deposits amounted to 560
tons; in 1925 the total was 105 tons and in 1926 only 64 tons. The Hedley Gold Mining Co.
used pebbles obtained: from Hedley, Similkameen district, British Columbia, in 1922. No
production of grinding pebbles has been reported in Canada during recent years.

THE GYPSUM INDUSTRY
(1) Primary Production—The Gypsum Mining and Quarrying Industry
Production (producers’ sales and consumption) of gypsum in Canada during 1939 totalled
1,421,934 short tons valued at ¢1,935,127 compared with 1,008,799 short tons at $1,502,265
in 1938. The tonnage in both years represents various grades of crude gypsum and anhydrite
shipped from quarries or mines together with the tonnage of calcined gypsum used in or shipped
from quarry or “primary” plants. The quantity of the mineral produced in 1939 established
an all-time high record in the history of the Canadian gypsum mining industry; the value, how-
ever, was exceeded annually during the years 1922-1931 inclusive.
The quantity of crude gypsum mined in 1939 amounted to 1,488,778 short tons while the
tonnage of anhydrite mined totalled 43,645 short tons. Crude gypsum calcined in primary
quarry plants totalled 138,163 short tons.
The following are the average prices per short ton recorded for total sales of various grades,
including anhydrite, by the industry in 1939: Crude lump, $1.21; crushed crude, $1.01; ground
crude, $6.04; calcined (quarry), $12.55.
In 1939 the number of firms reporting production was 10 and the gypsum quarries and
mines in operation totalled 17. Some of the Canadian gypsum mining companies confine their
operations in the Dominion to the production and shipment or crude gypsum or anhydrite,
while others, in addition to marketing various grades of crude gypsum, produce a calcine for
sale or for consumption in their own gypsum products plants.
Capital employed by Canadian gypsum mining companies totalled $6,806,907 in 1939;

employees aggregated 714; salaries and wages paid amounted to $692,158 and the total value
of fuel, purchased electricity and process supplies used was recorded at $299,319.
Gypsum is exported from Canada almost entirely in the crude form; during 1939 exports
of crude grades totalled 1,260,231 tons valued at $1,390,126 compared with 810,109 tons at
$932,742 in 1938. Of the 1939 exports, 1,191,389 tons were consigned to the United States
and 62,665 to the United Kingdom. In addition to exports of crude gypsum in 1939, there
were exported 1,339 tons of plaster of Paris and prepared wall plaster and 224 short tons of
ground gypsum valued at $1,342.
The Nova Scotia Department of Mines reported that the Canadian Gypsum Company
Limited operating at Wentworth, Hants County, had its largest production in 1939. This
Company opened a new quarry here with a face about 400 feet long and about 200 feet wide,
with a height of about 60 to 70 feet. The Retreat quarry of the Company was opened by driving
a tunnel south from the floor of the Fraser quarry through 500 feet of anhydrite and raising
up through to the surface on a bed of soft white gypsum.
The Connecticut Adamant Plaster Company operates a quarry at Cheverie, Hants County.
It is located about two miles from the shipping pier and has a face 18 feet high which has been
opened for about 500 feet. The overburden which is not heavy is stripped by a gasoline shovel.
The gypsum is quarried and shipped to New Haven, Conn.
In 1939, Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine (Canada) Limited commenced quarry operations
on its property located at Baddeck Bay, Nova Scotia. This property was formerly owned and
operated by the North American Gypsum Company. Diamond drilling was carried out in
the fall of 1938 and during the winter months of 1939. In the spring, quarry operations were
begun upon a large area of high-grade gypsum located directly north of the shipping pier at
the head of Baddeck Bay.
National Gypsum (Canada) Limited continued operations in 1939 at their quarry located
at Cheticamp, Inverness County, Nova Scotia. The quarry faces operated in 1938 were extended
and the same method of breaking down the gypsum was continued. This consists of drilling
six-inch holes the full height of the quarry face and blasting several of these large holes once
each month. Due to a shortage of ships, brought about by the war, shipments of gypsum from
this quarry were greatly curtailed.
The National Gypsum Co. also continued operations at Dingwall, Victoria County and
at Walton, Hants County. At Dingwall, a new loading pier was completed and dredging oper-
ations carried out.
At Cheverie, Nova Scotia, Arthur Parsons operates a quarry upon a deposit of anhydrite
exposed on the shore. Small quantities of anhydrite are quarried annually and shipped by
steamer to Norfolk, Virginia, where it is used as a fertilizer and moisture retainer around peanut
plants; an average of 10 men were employed at this quarry in 1939.
At Little Narrows, Victoria County, on the Bras d’Or Lakes, the Victoria Gypsum Company
Limited carried on work in 1939. The quarry operations are conducted about 3,000 feet inland
from the shipping pier and the maximum height of the gypsum is 20 feet.
The Windsor Plaster Company Limited opened a quarry located between Brooklyn and
Newport, Nova Scotia. The mineral is a good quality of white gypsum and is transported to
the plant in Windsor by trucks. All gypsum quarried by the Company is treated in its manu-
facturing plant and the products sold in the form of selenite hardwall, plaster of Paris, etc.
In 1854, Calvin Tompkins migrated from the State of New York and began the manufacture
of the gypsum which is found in abundance and of excellent quality near Hillsborough, Albert
County, New Brunswick. That was the beginning of the important industry which is now
carried on here by the Canadian Gypsum Company Ltd. The properties at present mined are
in the vicinity of Hillsborough and the gypsum as mined, is hauled direct by locomotive from
the mines to the manufacturing plant of the Company.
At Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, gypsum was mined and crushed in 1939 by Donald Fraser.
Operations were conducted during May, September and December and a relatively small tonnage
of crushed gypsum was exported to the United States.
Production of gypsum in Ontario comes from the properties of Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine,
Canada, Limited and the Canadian Gypsum Company Limited. During 1939 operations were
conducted steadily by the first-named Company at Caledonia and the Company states, in part:
“Notwithstanding the fact that we are at war, the consensus of opinion seems to be that 1940
will be one of increasing business activity for Canada. . . . . . These factors may be offset
to some extent by the building of military structures and extensions for industrial expansion
in which we hope to participate. sas
At Hagersville, Ontario, the Canadian Gypsum Company Limited carried on mining and
milling operations continuously throughout the year. Underground mining methods are em-
ployed at both the Caledonia and Hagersville properties.
Gypsum.was mined in Manitoba during 1939 by Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine, Canada,
Limited, at Gypsumville, and at Amaranth by Western Gypsum Products Ltd.; the latter Com-
pany operates a mill and manufacturing plant in Winnipeg. Production in 1939, as recorded
for British Columbia, represents the output of the Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine, Canada,
Limited. Gypsum is mined by the Company at Falkland and milling and manufacturing are
conducted at New Westminster. The mine or quarry was in operation from March 1 to Decem-
ber 15.

“Mineral Trade Notes” (May 20, 1939) of the United States Department of the Interior
refers to the use of gypsum in Germany as follows: ‘There has been a shortage of sulphurie
acid in Germany for several years and it has been difficult to secure adequate supplies of foreign
iron pyrites because of adverse foreign exchange. In 1937 production could not keep pace with
requirements of the superphosphate and nitrogen fertilizers, and for stretching the supplies of
sulphuric acid, Germany resorted again to the substitution of gypsum for producing ammonium
sulphate’.

(2) The Gypsum Products Industry
Nine Canadian factories, operated by four companies, manufactured gypsum products

having a factory selling value of $3,174,137 during 1939. This output was 27 per cent over the
1938 total of $2,715,894 and 26 per cent over the 1937 value of $2,525,507. The main products
were gypsum wallboard, gypsum hardwall plaster, gypsum tile and gypsum blocks.
Capital employed in these nine manufacturing plants amounted to $3,660,233 in 1939,
including $2,237,978 as the value of buildings and equipment, $435,180 as the value of inventories
at the year-end and $987,075 as cash, bills receivable, ete. The average number of employees in
1939 was 307, to whom $321,596 was paid in salaries and wages. Expenditures for fuel and
electricity amounted to $129,889 while materials used in manufacturing processes cost $1,240,763.

IRON OXIDES (OCHRE) MINING INDUSTRY
Production (Producers’ Sales) in Canada of iron oxides and ochres, crude and refined during
1939 totalled 6,015 short tons valued at $88,418 compared with 5,821 short tons worth $71,769
in 1938. Of the 1939 output 5,465 short tons valued at $82,501 came from properties in the
Province of Quebec and the balance of 550 tons at $5,917 represented crude material shipped
from deposits located in British Columbia.
During 1939 commercial shipments of iron oxides or ochres were made in the province of
Quebec from deposits occurring at La Pointe du Lac and Les Forges in St. Maurice county;
Almaville in Laviolette county; Marchand township in Labelle county and Red Mill and St.
Adelphe in Champlain county. The production as reported for British Columbia came from
bog deposits located at Alta Lake and from oxide beds in the Windermere district.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reports that the present producing localities have met the
requirements of the domestic pigment trade for cheaper grades for many years past. Other
prospective deposits could, if necessary, be drawn upon in Quebec and Ontario; deposits of ochre
also occur in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.
The larger part of the tonnage recorded as annual production of iron oxides in Canada
represents crude material for use in the purification of heating and illuminating gas, whereas the
calcined or higher grades are produced for use in the manufacture of paints and pigments.
Imports into Canada of ochres, ochrey earths, siennas and umbers during 1939 totalled
1,547 tons valued at $56,873 compared with 1,166 tons worth $37,631 in 1938. In 1989 Canadian
exports of mineral pigments, iron oxides, ochres, etc., totalled 173 tons valued at $15,612 as
against 1,685 tons worth $104,814 in the preceding year.
In 1939 there were seven Canadian firms reporting commercial mine shipments of iron oxides,
- five in the province of Quebec and two in British Columbia; capital employed by the entire
industry totalled $215,445; $26,916 in salaries and wages were distributed to 38 employees and
$8,194 were expended for fuel, electricity and various process supplies.

THE MICA MINING INDUSTRY

Production (Producers’ Sales) of mica in Canada during 1939, including sales from stock,
totalled 2,135,356 pounds valued at $147,321 compared with 1,037,026 pounds valued at $80,989
in 1938; comprising the 1939 output were 1,792,091 pounds of scrap and ground mica valued at
$18,419; 92,333 pounds of knife trimmed at $38,370; 176,051 pounds of splittings at $83,633;
68,181 pounds of thumb trimmed at $6,832 and 6,700 pounds of rough cobbed worth $67. Of the
1939 shipments, mines in the Province of Quebec contributed 867,396 pounds valued at $122,248,
Ontario 1,127,960 pounds at $22,978 and British Columbia an output valued at $2,100.
In 1939 phlogopite mica was shipped from properties chiefly located in the Hull-Buckingham
district of Quebec and in Eastern Ontario from deposits occurring in the Kingston-Perth area.
The production of sheet mica in Canada is almost wholly of the phlogopite or amber mica variety.
_ It is derived almost entirely from adjacent sections of Ontario and Quebec, within an area extend-
ing roughly from Kingston, Ontario, northeastward into Hull and Papineau counties, Quebec; a
few scattered amber mica occurrences are also known in the Province of Quebec as far east as
Quebec City, but very little mining has been conducted on them.
Production of muscovite, or white mica, in Canada has been negligible, small amounts have
been recovered occasionally as a by-product from feldspar mining in general. The proportion of
sound, merchantable sheet mica in Canadian pegmatites has proved too low for profitable mining
for this mineral alone. In 1939 a small production of this class of mica came from a deposit in
Boyd township, Ontario, while in Quebec during 1939 muscovite was mined or shipped from
deposits located at Lac Duclair, Bergeronnes township, Saguenay county; Lacoste township,
Charlevoix county; Baie des Bacons and the townships of Bégin and Harvey, Chicoutimi county;
shipments of ruby muscovite were reported from Grand Lac Ste. Agnes de Charlevoix.
In a review of the Canadian Mica Trade, Mr. Hugh S. Spence of The Bureau of Mines,
Ottawa, states—‘“Sheet mica is marketed in various classes, depending on the amount of pre-
paration the mine-run material receives. Much of the Canadian output was sold formerly in
the semi-rough form, termed ‘thumb-trimmed’, but the trade now calls largely for ‘knife-trimmed’, —
a much higher grade of product. Price is governed largely by dimensions of sheet, and rises
rapidly for larger sizes. Quality, which is gauged by colour, softness, ability to split readily, as
well as freedom from cracks, creases, pin-holes and inclusions of foreign mineral substance, is also
highly important. Good di-electric strength is a prime consideration, but most amber mica,
except perhaps the very dark, high iron varieties, possess this in the required degree. For heater
use, the mica must be able to withstand a temperature up to red heat without puffing or swelling.
The use of sheet mica is almost entirely for electrical insulation. It is cut or punched into an
enormous variety of shapes and sizes, and in the form of splittings is bonded and pressed into.
large sheets that can be sawn, bored and machined into any desired article. Mica is used in
making heavy-duty spark plugs for aeroplanes. Although the muscovite variety fills by far the
largest share of the world mica demand, amber mica is essential for certain purposes, more especi-
ally where high-resistance is demanded. Although already drawn on extensively, Canadian
reserves of amber mica are held to be still adequate to furnish important supplies, and any material
price advance would probably result in a revival of mining and increased production. Canada
shares the world market for amber mica with Madagascar. Fine flake or powdered mica has
become an important industrial product, particularly in the United States, where a number of
plants are engaged in its manufacture both by wet and dry systems of grinding. Most of this
production goes to the roofing and rubber trade. New uses for the material include its com-
bination with resin varnishes as a coating for foodstuff cans, and as a base in cleanser compounds.
Increased interest is also being shown in its possibilities as a protective inert pigment in paints.
Large amounts of wet-ground muscovite mica are consumed in wall paper manufacture.
“Mica prices are difficult to ascertain, owing to the lack of reliable market quotations and
to the system of trade discounts obtaining. Quality has also such a bearing on value that the
only satisfactory method of getting information is to submit samplesto an accredited dealer for a
quotation.”
Plants now exist in Canada for the expanding by heat processing of the hydrated variety of
mica known as vermiculite. This mineral expands tremendously when heated, yielaing an
exceedingly light weight product, which is finding wide application for heat and sound-insulation.
In 1938, it was reported that all Canadian plants drew their supply of crude vermiculite from a
deposit at Libby, Montana. No occurrences of this class of mica are known in Canada, though
there have been unconfirmed reports of discoveries in British Columbia.
It is stated that in the mica deposits of the Palabora district, northeastern Transvaal, vermi-
culite persists down to between 50 and 60 feet, below which there is a gradual transicvion to phlogo-
pite; in addition to this type of deposit, there are those in which vermiculite and apatite are
associated.
Imports into Canada of mica and mica manufactures were appraised at $61,835 in 1939
compared with $86,803 in 1938. Exports of Canadian mica, including all grades, during 1939
were valued at $165,252 against a corresponding value of $89,259 in the preceding year.

THE SALT INDUSTRY

Commercial production of common salt or sodium chloride in Canada during 1939 totalled
424,500 short tons valued at $2,486,632 compared with 440,045 short tons at $1,912,913 in
1938. In 1939 salt was produced in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta and of the
total Canadian output in 1939 Ontario contributed 370,843 short tons or 87 per cent. Statistics
of Canadian salt production represent the recovery of the mineral from brine wells with the
exception of Nova Scotia where the output comes entirely from the underground mining of
rock salt deposits.
24315—134
Of the total salt used or sold in 1939 there were 187,958 short tons or 44 per cent consumed
directly by the producers themselves in the manufacture of caustic soda and other chemicals. ,
Table and dairy grades sold were recorded at 70,390 short tons, 8,156 tons were reported as sold
as highway salt while the balance of production totalling 157,996 short tons included common
fine, common coarse and various other grades.
The number of Canadian firms reporting primary salt production in 1939 totalled 9; capital
employed by the industry amounted to $4,447,204 of which $3,085,024 represented the value
of buildings, machinery, etc., and $274,326 the value of land. Employees numbered 547, in-
cluding 65 female workers. Salaries and wages totalled $741,736; $276,267 were expended for
fuel and electricity and $37,161 for chemicals and other process supplies.
Imports of salt into Canada during 1939 totalled 117,629 short tons valued at $507,368
compared with 108,131 short tons at $453,765 in 1938. Included in the 1939 imports were
34,646 short tons for the use of sea and gulf fisheries. Exports of Canadian salt during 1939
totalled 10,656 short tons appraised at $76,287. The total ‘apparent’? consumption of salt
in Canada in 1939, for all purposes, and in all forms was estimated at 531,473 short tons valued
at $2,917,713 compared with 536,332 short tons worth $2,298,385 in 1938.
Statistics relating to Canadian salt production are available only since 1886 and Canadian
salt production since that year to the end of 1939 totalled 8,413,987 short tons valued at
$48,050,840.
In a review of the Canadian salt industry in 1939 L. H. Cole, of the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa,
states in part:—“In Nova Scotia, the Malagash Salt Company continued underground develop-
ment by diamond drilling, cross cutting, and drifting. Definite zones in which indications of
potash salts occur have been correlated from the second level to the twenty-sixth level and
there seems to be an increase in the potash content with depth. The study of these zones is
being continued.
“Further drilling by New Brunswick Gas and Oilfields Limited, near Weldon, New Bruns-
wick, extended the area known to be underlain by glauberite-salt strata, so that to date a deposit
of salt is already indicated more than 14 miles wide and 4 or more miles long; the greatest thickness
so far encountered being 1,500 feet. There are many millions of tons of salt in this basin, available
for future development.
“Soil stabilization with salt and clay for the foundation of highways, and for a surface
veneer for gravel roads is now firmly established, and this use of salt showed increase during
the year.. The development of soil stabilized bases for runways at Canadian airports continued
and several new airfields were so prepared.
“The eastern half of Canada is well supplied with deposits of salt, and already two plants
are in operation west of Winnipeg.”

TALC AND SOAPSTONE INDUSTRY

Production (sales) of primary crude and refined tale and soapstone in Canada during 1939
was valued at $170,066 compared with $144,848 in 1938. Production of soapstone during the
year under review came entirely from the Eastern Townships of the Province of Quebec while
the output of higher grade tale represented shipments made from deposits occuring near Madoc,
Hastings county, Ontario.
The tale of the Madoc area is of the foliated variety, has a good white colour, and occurs
as a series of vertical veins or bands in white, crystalline dolomite. The mill-output is marketed
in nine grades, according to purity and fineness; the products go principally to the textile, cos-
metic, rubber, paper and roofing trades, and are marketed chiefly in Canada and the United
States, some being exported to Great Britain. In recent years, the total annual production
of tale from the Madoc area has averaged around 10,000 to 15,000 tons, divided about equally
between the two above-named operators.
200 DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS |
In Quebec, substantial amounts of ground soapstone and soapstone sawing dust, as well
as a little associated talc, are produced in the Broughton-Thetford Mines district, Eastern Town-
ships, where, in 1939, four operators were active. The tale occurs in the form of narrow seams
or veins traversing the soapstone bodies and sometimes also as bands bordering the latter. Part
of it, as well as soapstone quarry and sawing waste, is ground in small mills at certain mines,
and some is shipped to the grinding plant of Pulverized Products, Ltd., at Montreal; a large
proportion of the output goes to the roofing and rubber trades, which also consume most of the
soapstone sawing dust.
The Broughton Soapstone Quarry Company, the largest operator, was in intermittent
production throughout the year, supplying sawn blocks and bricks for the pulp-mill trade. Ship-
ment is made as far west as Dryden, in western Ontario, but the bulk of the output has found
employment in Quebec mills. In addition to furnace stone, the company has fashioned soapstone
monuments, stoves, mantels, slabs and other interior trim, as well as a variety of turned orna-
mental objects and crayons. This concern was the pioneer Canadian producer of soapstone,
and has been operating in the Broughton district since 1922. Since 1935, soapstone operations
have been conducted in the same district by the following: L. C. Pharo of Thetford Mines, and
Charles Fortin of Robertson, both working in Thetford township, and Louis Cyr of St. Pierre
de Broughton, in Leeds township. All were operating intermittently during 1939. Broughton
Soapstone and Quarry Company considerably expanded its grinding mill-during the year; L. C.
Pharo also installed grinding equipment in 1938.
The soapstone of the Thetford district occurs as a persistent band or belt traversing the
hilly terrain north of the valley of the Quebec Central railway, and outcrops are frequent along
the flanks and upper levels of the ridges. The stone ranges from fairly coarse-grained rock to
fissile tale schist; it averages 180 pounds to the cubic foot. The schistose variety is the purer
stone, and yields a fine grade of off-colour tale powder, substantially free from carbonate and
grit, and possessing high slip; it is, however, prone to spall in cutting and handling, for which
reason the granular stone is preferred for sawn shapes.
A development that has considerably reduced the demand for soapstone for pulp-mill
use is the introduction of a new water-cooled alkali-recovery furnace; this is of steel, only the
base being built of soapstone blocks. Such furnaces are being used in a number of Canadian
and American mills, and sales of domestic soapstone have fallen off considerably. Increased
competition has reduced prices of cut stone to around $2 per cubic foot, only half the figure
formerly obtained.
Further progress was made during the year by the Baker Mining and Milling Company,
of Montreal, which for some time past has been planning development of a tale deposit near
Highwater, in Potton township, Brome county, Que. Erection of a mill had been completed
in 1938, and during 1939 underground work disclosed a substantial width of milling ore. The
mill has a capacity of 5 tons per hour of finished products, and embodies a variety of equipment
not hitherto employed in Canadian talc-grinding. Some prospecting for tale was done during
the year in the Knowlton area, Brome county, where there are a number of old and long-aban-
doned properties.
So many grades of ground talc are on the market that prices range between very wide limits.
Value is dependent largely on purity (governing freedom from grit and slip), colour, particle
shape, and fineness of grinding, the specifications for which vary in the different consuming
industries. The cheaper, impure, grey tales (in part soapstone) sold in Canada in 1939 at from
$5.50 to $8 per ton, f.o.b. mills, depending on fineness, which commonly ranges from 80-mesh
to 150-mesh; these grades go mainly to the roofing and rubber trades. Quotations for white,
foliated talc from the Madoc district were $30 and $21 for the two best grades, and $17 to $8
for lower grades. Imported superfine Italian talc, cosmetic grade, sells at $80-$100 per ton,
eastern points.
PYROPHYLLITE
Pryophyllite (hydrous silicate of alumina) is a mineral closely resembling tale in appearance
and physical character, and in the ground state can be employed for many of the industrial
uses served by the latter mineral. It is, however, far less common than tale and commercial
deposits are relatively scarce. Most of the recorded world production is derived from North
Carolina, where there is a growing pyrophyllite industry, a large part of the output going to
the ceramic trade. When fired, pyrophyllite does not flux, as does talc, and has value for the
manufacture of a wide variety of high-grade ceramic products. Extensive deposits occur in
Newfoundland, and in 1935 some material was shipped to Canada for grinding and sale; it is
reported that active exploitation of the occurrences is planned, the company interested being
the Clinchfield Sand and Feldspar Corporation, of Baltimore, Md., which has already made
some considerable shipments.
No important occurrences of this mineral are known in Canada, but some rather low-grade
material exists at Kyuquot Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island; the deposits are re-
ported to be extensive, but contain much admixed sericite and finely-divided silica. Around
1910, a small quantity was shipped to a Victoria pottery for use in refractories, and to a plant
at Esquimalt making polishing powders, soaps, and cleansers. In Quebec, several occurrences
of pyrophyllite are recorded in early reports of the Geological Survey of Canada. The mineral
appears to be restricted to areas of altered aluminous igneous rocks, notably dacites, trachytes,
etc., or of tuffs derived from such rocks, the pyrophyllite originating as a result of their hydro-
thermal alteration.
Pyrophyllite is currently quoted at $7.50 to $12.00 per ton for 200-mesh and 325-mesh
material, respectively, f.o.b. North Carolina mills. (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa.).

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL OR NON-METAL MINING INDUSTRIES

Included in this section are the following non-metallic minerals and mineral products:—
Barytes Grindstones Silica Brick
Corundum Kyanite Sodium Carbonate
Diamonds Lithium Minerals Sodium Sulphate
Diatomite Magnesitic Dolomite Strontium Minerals
Fluorspar Magnesium Sulphate Sulphur (Pyrites)
Garnet Natural Mineral Waters
Graphite Phosphate
Canadian operators producing certain industrial minerals, and who are usually relatively
few in number, have been segregated for statistical purposes into a single group designated as the
Miscellaneous Non-Metal Mining Industry. Minerals or primary mineral products produced
(or deposits developed) by this industry during 1939 included: barytes, diatomite, fluorspar,
garnets, graphite, grindstones, lithium minerals, magnesitic-dolomite (crude and refined), mag-
nesium sulphate, mineral waters, phosphate, silica brick, sodium carbonate, and sodium sulphate.
For convenience, the sulphur content of pyrites shipped, sulphur recovered from smelter gas, and
peat are recorded with the various miscellaneous minerals listed above; the value of sulphur
production, however, is not included in the total for the miscellaneous non-metallic or industrial
minerals as the value of this element is credited to the copper-gold-silver mining and non-ferrous
smelting industries.
The number of firms reported as active in the industry during 1939 was 46; capital employed
totalled $3,128,035; employees numbered 465 and salaries and wages paid amounted to $539,143.
The cost of fuel, purchased electricity and process supplies used during the year was reported at
$394,357 and the gross value of production totalled $1,358,922 compared with $1,188,322 in 1938.
BARYTES
Barytes was mined and shipped by two Canadian operators in 1939. The value of mine
shipments totalled $3,639. The mineral was obtained from a deposit located in Lawson township
in the Elk Lake district, Ontario, and from the property of Canada Baryte Mines, Ltd., Langmuir
township, Porcupine area, northern Ontario. Shipments from Lawson township represented
crude material, while those made by Canada Baryte Mines Ltd., included both crude and milled
grades.
24315—144
Barite production in Canada during past years came largely from deposits in Nova Scotia,
Quebec and Ontario and in recent years more particularly from deposits in the Lake Ainslie
district, Nova Scotia. Prior to 1939 the last commercial shipments from Canadian deposits
were made in 1933 in which year 20 tons valued at $60 were produced and shipped at the Tionaga
mine, Penhorwood township, Ontario. The mineral also occurs in British Columbia. Renewed
interest in the deposits of the Lake Ainslie district was exhibited in 1939 and plans were reported
for re-opening the old mines.
Ground barite is used as a heavy, white, inert filler in many products, such as paint, paper,
rubber, oilcloth, linoleum, plastics, resins, and cloth. It is also used in the manufacture of glass
and as a heavy medium in mud in the drilling of deep oil wells where high gas pressures are
encountered. ‘The most important single chemical product made from barite is lithopone, an
intimate mixture of zinc sulphide and barium sulphate prepared by co-precipitation by double
decomposition of solutions of barium sulphide and zinc sulphate; its chief use is as a white pigment.
Germany is the largest world producer of barite and consumption of the mineral in that
country has increased during recent years owing to the demand for barite and its derivatives in
the manufacture of paints, pigments, ceramics, explosives, rubber goods, etc. The German use
of barite in pigments has expanded recently on account of official requirements for mixing barite
with red lead in order to extend the supplies of red lead. The United States and Great Britain
are also large producers of barite.
Production of barite in Canada from 1885 to 1933, inclusive, totalled 41,027 short tons valued
at $300,610.

Barytes is also produced in Czechoslovakia, Spain, U.S.S.R. and China.

(b) Exports.
CORUNDUM
Corundum is found in an area embracing several townships in Renfrew and Hastings counties
in the Province of Ontario. Corundum mining as an industry made its appearance there in 1900
and production reached a maximum in 1906. Shipments of the mineral in Canada during the
period 1900-1921 totalled 19,524 short tons valued at $2,104,251. No commercial shipments
have been reported since 1921. No imports of corundum into Canada were shown in Customs
reports for either 1937 or 1938. United States demand for crude corundum in 1938 was met by
the importation of 2,098 tons valued at $138,629, chiefly from the Union of South Africa. Virtu-
ally all corundum and emery is imported into the United States in the crude state and crushed
and graded in that country for the domestic market. Production of corundum in the Union of
South Africa in 1938 totalled 1,540 short tons valued at £12,454 and the Department of Mines
of that country reports that with the depletion of the known eluvial deposits it has become
increasingly difficult to maintain supplies of crystal corundum and during 1938 activity on the
fields fell off considerably. Negotiations were proceeding with a view to persuading the
American market, which absorbs practically all the crystals being produced at present, to take
the corundum in the form of concentrates.
Imports into Canada in 1939 of manufactures of emery or of artificial abrasives n.o.p. were
valued at $43,301 of which those appraised at $40,308 came from the United States. Imports of
emery in bulk, crushed or ground were valued at $55,967 in 1939.
Artificial corundum or “fused alumina’ (Al,O3) is produced from calcined bauxite in steel-
lined, water-cooled furnaces of the are type. Canadian production of crude fused alumina in 1938
totalled 50,515 short tons valued at $5,165 920.
DIAMONDS
“Mineral ‘Trade Notes” of the United States Bureau of Mines contained the following
information relating to industrial diamonds:—‘In the popular mind the diamond is a gem stone,
but in 1938 only about one-fourth of the diamonds mined throughout the world were so classed.
The other three-fourths were designated industrial diamonds, that is, they were used as tools in
industries. Because of its superior hardness, far exceeding that of any other known substance,
the diamond is unsurpassed as a cutting agent. For many years the carbonado or black diamond,
found in Brazil, was the leading abrasive diamond used for rock drills and for certain other grinding
and cutting purposes, but during recent years there has been a decided drift toward wider use of
borts, a name applied to diamonds of the gem variety that are unsuitable for ornamental purposes.
“Recently there has been a strong movement toward the use of smaller and smaller diamonds,
even to those so small that they are classed as diamond dust. Drill heads are now made by
adding as much as 20 per cent diamond dust or small diamonds to powdered metal, and the
mixture is then sintered to a solid mass. Small diamonds are also being employed in drill bits
of a cast beryllium-copper alloy. :
“Another important use for industrial diamonds is in the manufacture of diamond tools for
truing abrasive wheels, shaping automobile and airplane engine parts and similar uses. A new
use for industrial diamonds is in the manufacture of abrasive wheels, in which small borts or
diamond dust are imbedded in tungsten carbide or other powdered metal or in bonded compo-
sitions. Other important uses include glass cutting, diamond dies for wire-drawing, diamond-set
teeth on circular saws for cutting stone, etc. etc.”
Diamond dust or bort and black diamonds for borers imported into Canada in 1939 were
valued at $4,129,532. Imports into Canada of unset diamonds during the same period were
appraised at $1,405,792. It is, however, worthy of note that diamonds imported for abrasive
or industrial purposes are often brought in by salesmen and may later, in part, be taken out
(unreported) of the country as unsold stock and in such cases the annual value of imports does
not represent or reflect a true consumption figure.
Diamonds are not commercially produced or mined in Canada. World production of

diamonds in 1938 totalled 11,455,000 carats valued at £7,680,000; of this output the British
Empire contributed 3,417,000 carats worth £5,750,000, chiefly from the Union of South Africa,
Sierra Leone, South West Africa and the Gold Coast. Among foreign countries the Belgian
Congo, Angola and Brazil were the principal producers.
In 1939 the Canadian contract diamond drilling industry drilled 2,063,292 feet of rock and
paid $1,615,615 in salaries and wages to 2,920 employees; income from drilling operations totalled
$3,013,249 and the value of stones and ready set bits purchased amounted to $607,806. In
addition to this the Canadian mining companies completed much drilling with their own equip-
ment and employees.
DIATOMITE
Producers’ sales of diatomite in Canada during 1939 totalled 301 short tons valued at $10,388.
Of these 279 tons at $9,661 came from deposits located near Little River and Tatamagouche,
Nova Scotia. Five tons worth $280 were shipped from the property of Muskoka Diatomite
Limited, Muskoka district, Ontario, while in British Columbia the output of 17 tons at $447 was
obtained from deposits on Gabriola Island and in the Cariboo District.
A report issued by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, states—“‘Approximately 80 per cent of the
diatomite now being consumed in Canada is in the form of filter-pads, about 15 per cent is used
for insulation and the remainder is absorbed as a filler, concrete admixture, silver polish base, and
in chemicals. Among the recent applications, the use of diatomite in the paint and varnish
industry has demonstrated its advantages as a flattening agent and as an extender. Deposits
containing medium quality diatomite are very common in some parts of Canada. Owing,
however, to foreign competition and to the, at present, comparatively small Canadian demand
only the properly prepared diatomite of the highest quality can now be successfully marketed on a
scale sufficiently large to warrant the operations of a property and the erection of a plant. Several
interesting developments took place during 1939. G. Wightman calcined diatomite in a small
kiln erected on the Digby Neck deposit, Nova Scotia, and shipped a few tons. A small tonnage
of crude diatomite was shipped from the Pocologan area, New Brunswick, to be tested to determine
its suitability as a filter pad. The West Coast Silica Products Company erected a mill near the
north end of Gabriola Island; the air dried material is calcined in eight small, flat kilns, after which
it is pulverized and separated, and a number of different products are bagged.”

The total Canadian output of diatomite since 1896, when it was first produced in the Domin-
ion, to the end of 1939, totalled 22,028 short tons valued at $506,698.
Imports into Canada of diatomaceous earth or infusorial earth (Kieselguhr), ground or
unground in 1938 totalled 2,565 short tons valued at $73,900 compared with 4,307 tons at
$128,808 in 1939. Of the 1939 imports, 4,302 tons worth $128,574 came from the United States.
‘Metal and Mineral Markets’ —New York—quoted diatomite May, 1940:—per ton, F.O.B.
Nevada, dried crude, in bulk, $7 and in bags $12; 40 mesh, $18; 200 mesh $22.50; low temperature
insulation, $19; high temperature $40.

FLUORSPAR
Fluorspar production in Canada during 1939 totalled 240 short tons valued at $4,995 com-
pared with 217 tons at $3,906 in 1938. Production of the mineral in Canada since 1929 has been
confined to the Madoc area, Hastings county, Ontario. Fluorspar was formerly produced at the
Rock Candy mine, in British Columbia, by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited; production in 1929 from this mine totalled 17,800 short tons valued at $267,000.
Following the erection of a large fertilizer plant at Trail, the recovery of by-product fluorine from
phosphate rock has obviated the necessity of employing fluorspar as a source of fluorine by the
Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd.
Late in 1939, the Moira Fluorspar Mining Syndicate took over the Noyes property, one of
the larger of the old producers in the Madoc district; small shipments from the upper levels of the
mine were reported and a mill was being built for recovery by jigging, tabling and flotation.
The Department of Public Works and Mines, Nova Scotia, states in its annual report for
1938 that fluorite is associated with barite in veins occurring at East Lake Ainslie, Nova Scotia;
a sample from one vein was reported to show a very high fluorite content.
Germany is second only to the United States as a producer of fluorspar, but it has been the
chief exporting country. In 1937 according to the United States Bureau of Mines, German
production was 144,459 metric tons; and exports were 46,009 metric tons, of which 12,699 metric
tons went to the United States.
Shipments of fluorspar from Newfoundland in 1938 were 9,859 short tons, of which 2,539 tons
of fluxing grade, 1,116 tons of acid grade, and 1,237 tons of special grade lump (93 to 95 per cent
CaF;) went to Canada. The fluorspar veins in Newfoundland are described as varying in width
from 6 inches to 14 feet of solid fluorspar, and in places a width of fluorspar and granite breccia
up to 35 feet is to be found.
Under the Anglo-American trade treaty, the duty on fluorspar, containing more than 97 per
cent calcium fluoride, was decreased from $5 a short ton to $3.75 a ton, effective January 1, 1939.
Quotations May, 1940, for fluorspar, New York, were:—per net ton, 85 per cent CaF., and
not over 5 per cent SiOz, Kentucky and Illinois, in bulk F.O.B. mines, washed gravel $20 for all
rail movement; $20 for barge movement, No. 2 lump $21 F.O.B. mines.
Ground fluorspar, F.O.B. Illinois mines, 95 to 98 per cent CaF, and not over 23 per cent
SiO2, $31 in bulk. Foreign fluorspar, gravel, 85-5 $25.50 per ton, duty paid, Baltimore or Phila-
delphia.

According to the United States Bureau of Mines the quantity of fluorspar used by individual
plants per ton of basic open-hearth steel produced ranges from 1 to 50 pounds. ‘The steel industry
is the chief consumer of fluorspar followed in order by hydrofluoric acid, glass and enamel
industries; smaller quantities are used in the production of iron castings, nickel and monel
metal, cement, ferro-alloys, etc., also in smelting refractory ores of gold, silver and copper.

GARNETS
No commercial production of garnets has been reported in Canada for several years. In 1938
prospecting and exploratory work were conducted by Garnet Concentrates Inc., on a garnet
deposit located in Beaudin township, Abitibi district, Quebec. The total recorded production of
garnets in Canada during past years was 1,612 tons valued at $107,350 and was confined to
the years 1923, 1924 and 1927. In 1923 a deposit of garnets in Ashby township, Ontario, was
operated by the Bancroft mines syndicate; the total production of garnet concentrates and crude
garnets amounting to 1,250 tons valued at $100,000 was shipped to the Carborundum Company
Limited, Niagara Falls, N.Y., for use as an abrasive material; the production of garnets in 1924,
amounting to 360 tons, valued at $7,200 also originated in Ontario and was shipped to the same
company at Niagara Falls, N.Y. In 1927 development work was conducted on a garnet deposit
in Joly township, Labelle county, Quebec and a shipment of 2 tons was made. Grenat Canada
Limited reported that considerable construction work was carried out at its property in Joly
township, Labelle County, Quebec, during 1939. Machinery was installed but no garnet ship-
ments reported.
Garnet is employed chiefly in the manufacture of abrasive papers and cloths while small
amounts are utilized in the grinding of plate glass and other products.
No imports of garnet, described as such, were recorded in Canada during 1938 or 1939; the
mineral, however, may enter in the form of abrasive paper or combined with other abrasive
imports, n.o.p. It has been reported that approximately 175 tons of graded garnet grains are
imported annually into Canada. In 1938 the Canadian artificial abrasives industry used 98
short tons of garnets valued at $17,219 compared with 164 tons at $28,951 in 1937.
Imports of sandpaper during 1913 were valued at $171,516 compared with $331,776 in 1917
and $317,048 in 1918. Imports in 1939 of sandpaper and emery cloth were appraised at $60,797.
Engineering and Mining Journal’s ‘Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—October,
1939, quotations for garnet were—per ton, f.o.b. New Hampshire mines; concentrate, $30; grain,
$80 to $140. New York: Adirondack garnet concentrates, $85. Spanish grades, $60, c.i.f. port
of entry. Nominal.
GRAPHITE
Canadian mine production of graphite during 1939 was valued at $61,684 compared with
$41,590 in 1938. The output in 1939, asin the preceding year, came solely from the Black Donald
mine, Renfrew county, Ontario. Relatively small and intermittent shipments of graphite were
also made from Quebec properties prior to 1935. No ore was mined at the Black Donald mine in
1939 and milling operations during the year represented the retreatment of some 2,700 tons of
tailings. The mill was in operation from June 5 to December 23 and finished products included
flake, dust and amorphous grades. Flotation is employed in the treatment of Black Donald ore.
A half dozen or more countries are fairly large graphite producers but, according to the
United States Bureau of Mines, none in recent years has challenged the supremacy of Ceylon and
Madagascar as producers of high grade graphite; although the tonnage mined in Ceylon and
Madagascar seldom exceeds 15 per cent of the world total, the value of their products is probably
at least half the world total.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’”—New York—quoted graphite October 1939 as follows: per
pound f.o.b. New York, Ceylon lump, 7 to 73 cents; carbon lump 6 to 63 cents; chip, 52 to 52
cents; dust 3 to 4 cents; Madagascar flake 6 to 8 cents; no. 1 flake, 9 to 16 cents; no. 2, 7 cents
upwards; fine ground, 55 to 70 per cent carbon, 3 cents upward; amorphous, 3 cents upward.
Crude amorphous graphite, f.o.b. New York $12 to $23 per ton, according to grade.

GRINDSTONES AND PULPSTONES

Quarry sales of grindstones and other natural abrasive stones (sandstone) in Canada during
1939 totalled 304 short tons valued at $15,278 compared with 306 tons worth $16,198 in 1938.
The shipments in 1939 comprised 20 tons of sharpening stones valued at $3,088 and 284 tons of
grindstones worth $12,190. No pulpstones were produced during the year under review and the
sharpening stones came entirely from a plant in New Brunswick. The output of grindstones in
1939 originated at the Woodburn quarry, Pictou county, Nova Scotia, and at Stonehaven, New
Brunswick.
The Department of Mines, Nova Scotia, describes the products of the Woodburn quarry of
the Stanley Rule and Level Company as yellow and blue fine grained sandstones, the former being
used for grindstones, while the latter is suitable for scythestones and whetstones. The sandstone
bed is 25 to 30 feet thick. The rough blocks are quarried by the usual method of drilling and
wedging. The blocks are then cut to rough dimensions by hand and holes drilled in the centre.
These are then placed in lathes and turned to the required dimensions. The finished stones vary
in size from 1 to 6 feet in diameter and from 2 to 10 inches in thickness. The quarry is capable of
furnishing grindstones 24 inches in width if desired.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reported in 1938 that there was a demand for good pulpstones,
particularly for use in the large magazine grinders, but as deposits containing thick beds of the
proper quality sandstone are very scarce in Canada, only about 1 per cent of the stones used
recently in Canadian pulpmills was produced in the Dominion. The artificial pulpstones made
of silicon carbide segments and also more recently of fused alumina segments are gradually but
surely replacing the natural stone.
Imports of grindstones, etc., into Canada in 1939 were as follows:—Grinding wheels, manu-
factured by the bonding together of either natural or artificial abrasives, value $100,977 ($98,881
from United States); Grinding stones or blocks, manufactured by the bonding together of either
natural or artificial abrasives, value $22,586 ($19,711 from United States); Grindstones not
mounted and not less than 36 inches in diameter number 849 value $126,260 (152 at $3,066 from
United Kingdom and 697 at $123,194 from United States); Grindstones n.o.p. number 1,502
value $7,013.
Exports of manufactured grindstones from Canada in 1939 were valued at $6,312.

The Artificial Abrasives and Abrasive Products Industry
The factory selling value of all products made during 1939 by the manufacturers in Canada
of artificial abrasives and abrasive products amounted to $9,275,143. This value represented
a decline of 3 per cent from the total of $9,579,705 in 1938 and 34 per cent from the 1937 output
of $14,174,351.
There was no change in the number or location of the establishments which made artificial
abrasives and abrasive products in 1939, there being fourteen works in Ontario and two in Quebec.
The average number of employees in the industry was 1,099 and payments in salaries and wages
totalled $1,630,889. Expenditures for manufacturing materials amounted to $2,971,056 and
$777,654 was paid out for fuel and electricity. Capital investment in the industry totalled
$7,179,801, of which $3,259,831 was the value placed on land and buildings.
Artificial abrasives were made in 4 plants in Ontario and 2 in Quebec. The output of these
6 works was valued at $7,191,098 and included 51,118 tons of crude fused alumina at $4,565,569;
17,225 tons of crude silicon carbide at $1,865,604 and other products and by-products, such as,
ferrosilicon, firesand, refractory brick, refractory cements, calcium boride, crude boron carbide
and boron carbide shapes. An average of 784 people were employed and salaries and wages
totalled $1,123,226.
Ten other plants were occupied chiefly in making abrasive products, such as, wheels, paper,
pulpstones and sharpening stones; 9 made abrasive wheels and segments, 7 made sharpening
stones and files, and 2 made abrasive cloth and paper. The value of all products made in these
establishments was $2,084,045, of which $1,117,689 was for abrasive wheels and segments.
The number of employees was 315 and payments for salaries and wages amounted to $507 663.
Exports of crude artificial abrasives totalled 71,956 tons valued at $4,380,148 in 1939,
and the exports of wheels and stones were reported at $47,158.
Imports of crushed or ground artificial grains were appraised at $642,792 and manufactured
grinding wheels at $100,977 in 1939.

KYANITE
The following information is from a recent bulletin of the “Imperial Institute’, London
(Vol. XXXVI—No. 4). Kyanite, a natural silicate of alumina (A1,SiO; or Al,O. SiO.) is finding
a steadily growing market for the preparation of refractories. It is not used in the raw state,
but is first fired at 1,450° to 1,500° C., and then ground ready to mix with the bond. The product
of calcination, however, is known in the trade as “‘Sillimanite’’, a misnomer which often leads
to confusion. Sillimanite and andalusite are other natural minerals of exactly the same chemical
composition as Kyanite (but different in physical properties), and both are likewise converted
on heating into mullite and silica. The conversion of andalusite into mullite is not accompanied
by any change in volume and this mineral can, therefore, be used in the raw state as a refractory.
Mullite made from Kyanite is used in the construction of numerous types of furnaces, including
electric furnaces and those for the enamelling and glass industries. When added to ceramic
compositions containing clay and kaolin, it is claimed to reduce shrinkage, lower the coefficient
of expansion, increase breaking strength, resistance to abrasion and electrical resistance, and
extend the sintering range. It is also a constituent of certain spark-plug porcelains.
Kyanite is usually a rock-forming mineral, and only rarely does it occur in large mono-
mineralic masses as segregations in quartz-kyanite gneiss or schist. Indian kyanite is the most
popular at the present time, the production in India commenced in 1924 and amounted to 24,787
tons in 1936. The mineral also occurs in Nyasaland, British East Africa and Western Australia.
The leading andalusite mine in the world is operated by Champion Sillimanite, Inc., in
the White Mountains, California; this company is a subsidiary of the Champion Spark Plug
Co., Detroit, Mich. Imports of kyanite and sillimanite into the United States in 1938 totalled
3,964 short tons valued at $32,458 compared with 7,674 short tons at $79,410 in 1937.
None of the minerals, kyanite, sillimanite or andalusite are commercially mined in Canada
at the present time and any imports of these minerals into Canada are not shown separately
in the Canadian Customs classification. ‘‘Metal and mineral markets’—New York, October
1939 quoted kyanite—per ton f.o.b. North Carolina and Georgia $17.50 to $25 nominal.
LITHIUM MINERALS
Commercial production of Canadian lithium minerals was first recorded in 1937. These
were made by the Lithium Corporation of Canada, Limited, from deposits located at Bernic
Lake, near Pointe de Bois, Eastern Manitoba. The material was valued at $1,694 and was
consigned to a United States chemical plant. The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reports that the
present supply of lithium minerals is drawn from deposits in the United States, Southwest Africa,
and France. The newly discovered spodumene deposits in North Carolina are regarded as
one of the world’s largest potential sources of supply of lithium. The principal commercial
lithium ores are amblygonite, a fluophosphate of lithium and aluminium; spodumene, a silicate
of these two elements; and lepidolite or lithia mica, also a silicate. All of the above minerals
occur in Canada, but there has, as yet, been only a small production, mainly of lepidolite and
spodumene; the important deposits are all in Manitoba. No commercial mine shipments of
lithium minerals were reported in Canada during 1939, however, the Lithium Corporation of
Canada Limited reported that operations were resumed at its Bernic Lake property in December
1939 and that commercial shipments of lithium minerals might be made from the mine in 1940.
South West Africa and France are the largest producers of lithium ores outside the United
States. In 1938 the total production of lithium compounds in the United States as given by
producers to the United States Bureau of Mines, aggregated 892 short tons valued at $47,088
and in 1939 production totalled 1,990 short tons valued at $97,000.
Spodumene expands in whiteware bodies, and if properly controlled this expansion may
offset shrinkage and other production troubles in ceramic work. Lepidolite hardens and
toughens clear glass and lowers the expansion coefficient.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’ New York quoted lepidolite (Oct. 1939), per ton, $20 to $25
for ordinary grades, lump f.o.b. mines. Amblygonite—per ton f.o.b. mines 8 to 9 per cent LiO,
$40. Spodumene—per unit LiO, contained $5 on 6 per cent grade carload lots, North Carolina.
Statistics relating to possible imports of lithium minerals or chemicals into Canada are
not shown separately in the Canadian Customs classification.
MAGNESITIC-DOLOMITE
Production of magnesitic-dolomite (sales and producers’ consumption of calcined
and dead
burned) in Canada during 1939 was valued at $474,418.
Magnesitic dolomite, an intimate mixture of magnesite and dolomite, is quarried
and pro-
cessed at Kilmar and Harrington East, in Argenteuil county, Quebec. It is marketed in the
caustic and dead-burned states; in the form of bricks; as finely ground refractory cement;
and
also in combination with chrome as an ingredient in certain types of refractories. Caustic-
calcined magnesia is used for fettling the bottoms of basic open hearth furnaces and for
the con-
struction of floors and floor tiles. The deposits of magnesitic dolomite in Argenteuil
county,
Quebec, are ample to supply magnesia products for domestic requirements for
many years,
and also to support a large export trade. An interesting and recent development was the dis-
covery by one of the officers of the Federal Bureau of Mines, at Rutherglen, Ontario
and at
Bryson, Quebec, of brucite-bearing limestones. Brucite, 4 hydrated magnesium oxide contains
a higher percentage of magnesium than magnesite and can be utilized for the
manufacture of
refractory material for lining metallurgical furnaces. It has value as a potential source of
magnesium metal. The mineral also occurs at Farm Point in the Gatineau River Valley, Quebec.
The brucite occurs as granules thickly disseminated through a matrix
of crystalline limestone
and by a process developed in the Bureau of Mines laboratories it is possible
to recover these
brucite granules in the form of magnesia of a high degree of purity.
Large deposits of magnesite, containing much silica and alumina, occur in
British Columbia
near Marysville and have been acquired by Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company
of Canada,
Limited; no commercial production from these deposits has yet been reported.
_ The United States Bureau of Mines reported on brucite in its 1939 minerals
Year Book
as follows:—‘“‘After sundry set-backs, brucite has just become established
on a moderately
extensive scale. The deposits near Luning, Nevada, are of enormous extent and
high purity.
Small quantities of this natural hydrate of magnesia Mg (OH)2, have been employed
in petroleum
refineries and for making magnesium compounds but the important outlet
at present is in the
manufacture of furnace refractories, largely to increase the slag resistance
of dolomite.” The
extraction of magnesia from sea water has now reached the commercial
stage in the State of
California and in England.

MAGNESIUM SULPHATE (EPSOM SALTS—NATURAL)
Production (sales) of natural magnesium sulphate or crude epsom
salts in Canada during
1939 totalled 550 short tons valued at $9,900 compared with 470
short tons worth $9,400 in 1938.
Production during the year under review represents refined material
shipped from the plant of
Epsom Refineries Limited located at Ashcroft, British Columbia
. The refinery operated until
May 31 and treated crude salts obtained from the Basque deposits
located in the Kkamloops
Mining Division. No mining operations were conducted in 1939. The propertie
s of Epsom
Refineries Limited were purchased in 1939 by Winnipeg interests
and the refinery was later
dismantled. It was suggested by the new owners that if operations were resumed
a new refinery
might be constructed at the deposits in order to reduce the haulage
costs on raw material.
The stoppage of imports of magnesium sulphate owing to war
conditions and the appreciable
rise in price of the high grade material offers a good opportun
ity for the western Canadian deposits
again to become steady producers.
In 1918 crude magnesium sulphate was mined at Spotted Lake
in the Osoyoos division,
British Columbia, the crude material was refined at Oroville,
Wash., U.S.A.; shipments in 1916
were reported at 250 tons and in 1915 about 300 tons; the
same operator also made shipments
during 1918 from a deposit near Clinton, in Lillooet, British Columbia
.

MINERAL WATERS
Shipments of natural mineral waters from Canadian springs totalled 123,769 imperial gallons
valued at $19,105 in 1939 compared with 188,309 imperial gallons worth $21,619 in the preceding
year. Production during both years originated in Ontario and Quebec. Some of the more
prominent Canadian mineral waters possessing special therapeutic or hygienic properties include
the following: in Quebec, the Abenakis springs on the St. Frangois river in Yamaska county;
Potton Springs in Brome county and the Coulombia spring at L’Epiphanie. In Ontario, saline,
sulphur and gas springs occur at Caledonia Springs and at Carlsbad Springs, near Ottawa; the
waters range from alkaline to strongly saline. St. Catharines, near Niagara, is one of the oldest
Canadian mineral water resorts and sulphur waters are found at the Preston mineral springs in
Waterloo county. The most famous of all Canadian springs is undoubtedly the group of hot
sulphur springs at Banff, Alberta. In British Columbia the Harrison Hot Springs in the Fraser
Valley and the Halcyon Hot Springs on Arrow Lake are noted for their curative properties.
The total number of firms reporting production of natural mineral waters in the Dominion
totalled 13 in 1939, of which 10 were located in the province of Quebec and 3 in Ontario.
It is interesting to note that natural mineral waters from springs in the county of Lac St.
Jean, Quebec, were utilized during both 1936 and 1937 in highway maintenance.

PHOSPHATE
Production of phosphate in 1939 amounted to only 157 tons valued at $1,712. The mineral
during the year under review was obtained entirely from deposits located in the Hull-Buckingham
district of the province of Quebec and was utilized in the manufacture of chemicals. The mineral
as produced in Canada usually represents a by-product in the mining of mica.
The Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, reports that the only important recorded
occurrences of phosphate rock in Canada are the Precambrian apatite deposits of the Ottawa-
Kingston region in Ontario and Quebec, and the rather low-grade sedimentary phosphate of the
Crowsnest district just west of the boundary between southern Alberta and British Columbia.
The Quebec and Ontario apatite deposits were once of considerable importance and were
actively mined as a source of fertilizer phosphate, but the industry became unprofitable upon the
discovery of the immense sedimentary phosphate deposits of the Southern United States about
1890. Enormous tonnages of apatite are now being produced by concentration from low-grade
ores of the Murmansk region in Russia.
Although fertilizers will always continue to consume the great bulk of the world’s phosphate
produced, a growing future for phosphorous and its compounds appears to be assured.
One of
such chemicals that is rapidly coming into extensive use is tri-sodium phosphate, employed
as a
detergent in laundry work and as a general cleanser, as well as for preventing scale
or scum in
boiler-feed and washing waters, and in the tanning, photographic, sugar, and other industries.
The largest annual output of phosphate to be recorded in Canada was for 1890 in which year
production was reported at 31,753 tons valued at $361,045. The total production of the mineral
in the Dominion from 1870 to the end of 1939 totalled 342,342 short tons valued at $4,658,048.

POTASH
The minerals yearbook of the United States Bureau of Mines for 1940 contains the following
informations:—“With Europe again at war, no potash shortage now threatens the United States;
there is no prospect that the farmer will have to pay exorbitant prices for his potash. This
fortunate situation is directly attributable to the foresight that led the Federal Government to
Pioneer in the search for Potash resources and to encourage and foster the building of a domestic
industry that can now supply cheaply all the potash required for essential needs. In 1939
American producers supplied 634,000 short tons of potash salts, for which they realized an average °
of $18.97 per ton at the plants. Natural brines and bedded saline deposits were the sources from
which nearly 99 per cent of the 1939 output of potash was drawn. As in the past a small tonnage
was derived from cement-plant dust and distillery waste. The potential capacity of American
producers, without major additions to plants or equipment, has been estimated by the Federal
Geological survey to be approximately 540,000 tons of K,O per year, considerably more than
probable needs. Any deficiency in high-grade salts that might develop can be made up by
increased output of manure salts, which can be mined in New Mexico to average around 25 per
cent K,0. Some apprehension has been expressed concerning the supply of sulphate, for which
the United States formerly depended almost entirely on imports; however this salt is now being
produced by three companies.
“Publication of production statistics by European governments virtually ceased in the

summer of 1939, and no adequate data are available for the latter half of the year’.
In the United States a senate investigation of the potash industry was started in 1936.
It was instituted to determine whether unfair or illegal practices were being employed in the
exploitation of potash resources and the extent of foreign ownership or control of American potash
companies.
Natural potash salts are not yet mined or recovered on an extensive commercial scale in
Canada. Potash occurs in small quantities in rock salt strata at Malagash, Cumberland County,
Nova Scotia, and at Gautreau, Westmorland County, New Brunswick. Potassium chloride
occurs at Malagash in a number of definite bands in the salt mass in the form of crystalline beds
of pink and yellowish green sylvite in the matrix of halite. The 1938 annual report of the Depart-
ment of Public Works and Mines, Nova Scotia, refers to the Malagash occurrence as follows:—
“There are two white seams of salt roughly parallel to each other called the Lucas and the McKay
and which are being operated by the company. Approximately midway between these two
seams a new zone was found in the upper levels carrying potash. This zone was not wide enough
to be of commercial value but recent drilling from one seam to the other an the bottom levels has
shown a considerable increase in the width of this potash zone and an increase in the potash
content.”
In a review of the Canadian salt industry in 1939 L. H. Cole, of the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa,
states in part:—“‘In Nova Scotia, the Malagash Salt Company continued underground develop-
ment by diamond drilling, cross cutting, and drifting. Definite zones in which indications of
Potash salts occur have been correlated from the second level to the twenty-sixth level and there
seems to be an increase in the potash content with depth. The study of these zones is being
continued.”

PYRITES (Sulphur)
The sulphur content of iron pyrites shipped and sulphur recovered from non-ferrous smelter
gas in 1939 totalled 211,278 short tons valued at $1,668,025 compared with 112,395 tons at
$1,044,817 in 1938. The quantity and value of Canadian sulphur output in 1939 were the greatest
ever attained in Canadian mining history. Production in 1939, as in immediate preceding years,
came from the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.
No iron pyrites deposits, known as such, have been mined in Canada for some years and
statistics published regarding recent pyrites production refer to by-product iron pyrites recovered
in the mining and concentrating of copper-gold-silver ores. The Matachewan Hub Pioneer
Mines Ltd., with a pyrites deposit in Cairo township, District of Matachewan, Ontario, reported
that research work was carried on during 1938 and a pilot plant was established in Toronto for
the purpose of working out a process of sulphur and iron recovery. No mining development
work was reported at the deposit during 1938 or 1939. This company stated that ‘‘Allied Iron
and Sulphur Mines Limited’’, an associated company, planned to commence commercial ship-
ments from the property in 1940.
Westario Sulphur Mines Limited, Hudson, Ontario, also reported that they expected to
have iron pyrites ore ready for shipment early in 1940.
During 1939 iron pyrites was concentrated and shipped in the province of Quebec by the
Aldermac Copper Corporation Limited, Beauchastel township; Noranda Mines Limited, Noranda,
and by the Consolidated Copper and Sulphur Company Limited, Eustis; the last named company
discontinued mining operations in 1939.
During 1939 Northern Pyrites Limited conducted development work on an iron pyrites
deposit located on the east side of the Estall River, about 45 miles from Port Essington, British
Columbia; no shipments of ore were reported.
Sulphur employed in the manufacture of sulphuric acid during 1939 was recovered from
salvaged smelter gas in Ontario and British Columbia. In Ontario, Canadian Industries
Limited continued the operation of its acid plant at Copper Cliff, using sulphur dioxide obtained
from the smelter of the International Nickel Company, while in British Columbia the Consoli-
dated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, manufactured sulphuric acid and
other chemical products at Trail, using the by-product gases of its metallurgical plants. The
Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company reported that the percentage of sulphur dioxide
removed from flue gases from: metallurgical operations and utilized mainly in the production
of sulphuric acid and fertilizers, increased to 70-3 per cent compared with 53-3 per cent in 1937,
“Mining and metallurgy, of the A.I. of M. & M.E. (July, 1939) states:—“Pyrites, largely
used for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, is consumed in the United States to the extent of
about a million long tons a year, half of which is normally produced there and half imported,
mostly from Spain. . . Germany produces only a quarter of her requirements. Buyers of
pyrites in the Eastern United States include the General Chemical Co., the Baugh Chemical
Co., the Davison Chemical Co., and the F. 8. Royster Guano Co., all of Baltimore; and to some
extent the American Sheet and Tin Plate Co., Vandergrift, Pa., the Reliance Phosphate Co.,
of Savannah, the Monsanto Chemical Co., and the Maybank Fertilizer Co. Some of these
have stocks sufficient for some months to come, but it would appear that some of them may
soon be looking for new sources of supply.”
‘‘Metal and Mineral Markets’”—New York—October, 1939, quotation for iron pyrites
was per long ton unit of sulphur, c.if. United States ports, guaranteed 48 per cent sulphur,
Spanish 12 cents. Sulphur—per long ton for domestic market $16 f.o.b. Texas Mines. ‘Cana-
dian Chemistry and Process Industries’, Toronto, quoted sulphur September, 1939:—sulphur,
crude, contracts, f.o.b. cars at mines, long ton $18.00 to $20.00; crude, contracts, ex vessel,
St. Lawrence and Maritime ports long ton $23.50-$25.50. United States quotations for pyrites
and sulphur May, 1940, were the same as for October, 1939.

SILICA BRICK
The production of silica brick in Canada during 1939 totalled 2,493 M valued at $124,807
compared with 1,788 M worth $100,403 in 1938. The manufacture of these refractories
was
confined, in both years, to the plants of the Dominion Steel and Coal Company, Ltd., at
Sydney,
Nova Scotia, and the Algoma Steel Corporation Ltd., Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. The
brick
manufactured by both of these companies are processed from crushed silica rock
and are utilized
in furnace construction and repairs.

SODIUM CARBONATE (NATURAL)

Production of natural sodium carbonate in Canada during 1939 totalled 300 short tons
valued at $2,400 compared with 252 tons at $2,268 in 1938. Deposits of this material in the
form of ‘“natron’’ (sodium carbonate with 10 molecules of water) and also as brine, occur in a
number of ‘‘lakes’”’ throughout the central part of the province of British Columbia, chiefly in the
Clinton mining division, around 70 Mile House, and in the neighbourhood of Kamloops. Pro-
duction in Canada during recent years has come entirely from deposits in British Columbia and
in 1939 all commercial shipments of primary or mine material were made from 70 Mile and
Chasm on the line of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The first commercial shipments of
natural sodium carbonate from Canadian deposits were recorded for 1921 in which year 197
short tons valued at $14,775 were reported as sold. The total Canadian production of the
material to the end of 1939 totalled 8,459 short tons valued at $99,870.

SODIUM SULPHATE
(Glauber’s Salt and Salt Cake)
Producers’ shipments of natural sodium sulphate in Canada totalled 71,485 short tons
valued at $628,151 in 1939 compared with 63,009 tons at $553,307 in 1938.
Sodium sulphate is recovered in Canada almost entirely in the province of Saskatchewan
and is produced either as hydrated sodium sulphate, known as Glauber’s salt, or anhydrous
sodium sulphate, known to the trade as “salt cake’. It occurs as crystals (Glauber’s salt)
or in the form of partially saturated or saturated brines in many lakes throughout Western Canada.
Some of the Saskatchewan properties are equipped with plants for the purification and dehydra-
tion of the crude salt. It is interesting to note that a relatively small commercial output of
the mineral has been reported in the province of Alberta since 1937. The increased demand for
sodium sulphate from the pulp mills and the nickel-copper smelting industry was largely respon-
sible for the large increase in output of sodium sulphate in recent years.
The International Nickel Company of Canada Limited reported that in 1939 the sodium
sulphate works of the Horseshoe Lake Mining Company, Limited, at Ormiston, Saskatchewan,
were operated to capacity from January to April, inclusive, and from April to September at
the rate of five and a half days per week, when operations were suspended. Ample stocks of
sodium sulphate, an important flux for use in the Copper Cliff smelter, have been accumulated.
The total commercial shipments of Canadian natural sodium sulphate since the commence-
ment of production in 1920 to the close of 1939 totalled 581,786 short tons valued at $4,999,697.
During 1939 seven firms, five in Saskatchewan and two in Alberta, reported production’
of natural sodium sulphate; capital employed by the industry was reported at $896,818; fuel,
purchased electricity and process supplies consumed totalled $179,609 and $136,416 were dis-
tributed as salaries and wages to 102 employees.
“Canadian Chemistry and Metallurgy’”—Toronto—(September, 1939)—quoted sodium
sulphate (Glauber’s salt), crystals, in bags, cwt., to $1.25; carlots, bulk—$16.00 per ton; anhy-
drous, bags $25.00 to $35.00 per ton.

t The 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939 figures do not include sodium sulphate consumed direct in the smelting of nickel
copper ores.
In 1938 there were 645,306 pounds of Glauber’s salt valued at $8,419 used in Canada in the
dyeing and finishing of textiles.
In the Southern States, some of the pulp mills are employing a synthetic material made from
soda-ash and sulphur, as a substitute for salt cake in the manufacture of kraft paper.
It was reported in 1939 that another drill hole in the Weldon district, New Brunswick,
encountered the glauberite-salt beds, thus extending the area of the basin already known to be
underlain by these salts. The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reported that the operating plants in
Western Canada are now capable of producing over 900 tons of dried salts per day, and, if occasion
warranted, the tonnage could be greatly increased.

| STRONTIUM MINERALS
Four celestite (Sr SO.) deposits of economic interest occur in eastern Ontario but there has
been no commercial production of the mineral in Canada for several years. A special report
prepared by the Imperial Institute, London, refers to strontium minerals, as follows—‘‘The
reserves of strontium minerals, however, in both England and Germany appear to be limited, and
it is possible that the known deposits in Canada, United States, France, Tunis, and the U.S.S.R.
will be opened up and exploited to an increasing extent in the future...... Strontium minerals
are used principally in the beet-sugar industry; in pyrotechnics; as fillers; as ‘cleansers’’ for
removing sulphur and phosphorous from special steels; as precipitants in the purification of
caustic soda; in the chemical, pharmaceutical and ceramic industries; and in certain refrigerators’.
Strontium nitrate is used in Canada in the manufacture of pyrotechnics but the amount is not
available for publication. No production of strontium ore in the United States has been reported
since 1918 and domestic needs in that country are supplied by imports which in 1938 comprised
552,868 pounds of strontionite and celestite valued at $2,824; strontium nitrate 364,362 pounds
at $23,921 and precipitated carbonate (and oxide) 82,859 pounds worth $8,502. Data relating
to Canadian imports of strontium minerals and chemicals are not shown separately in the Cana-
dian customs classification. *
“Metal and Mineral Markets’” New York, October, 1939, quoted—per ton in carload lots,
90 per cent Sr SO,, finely powdered, $37. Strontionite—per ton, lump in carload lots, minimum
84-86 per cent Sr CO; $55—nominal.

CHAPTER NINE
CLAY PRODUCTS AND OTHER STRUCTURAL MATERIALS
Including Cement, Clay and Clay Products (Brick, Drain Tile, Kaolin, Sewer Pipe, Structural
Tile, Stoneware and Pottery made from Domestic Clays, Fireclay, Firebrick, Fireclay
Blocks and Shapes, Imported-Clay Products), Lime, Sand and Gravel, Sand-Lime Brick,
and Stone, including Slate.
Grouped in this chapter are those industries producing structural materials of non-metallic
composition. During the depression years, immediately following 1929, these important branches
of the Canadian mineral industry suffered severe economic losses. Production declined and
employment fell to a relatively low level. Shipments of cement, lime, stone, clay products,
sand and gravel totalled $58,534,834 in 1929; this high record value was succeeded by unbroken
annual decreases to $16,696,683 in 1933, from which year recovery has been relatively slow,
however, a distinct advance was realized in 1937 when the value of these materials aggregated
$34,869,699 or an increase of 35-31 per cent over the corresponding value of $25,770,741 in the
preceding year. In 1938 there was a slight increase over 1937 in the value of clay products
also the output of sand and gravel was considerably greater, however, the total value of all
structural materials produced in 1938 at $33,878,666 represents a decrease of $999,033 from the
corresponding value of the preceding year. Production of structural materials (Primary) in
Canada during 1939 realized a marked improvement over 1938; the value of clay products totalled
$5,151,236 against $4,536,084 in 1938 while the combined value of stone, lime, cement, sand and
gravel in 1939 totalled $30,211,523 compared with $29,342,582 in the preceding year. The
increase in construction of defence works, such as, airports, military camps, barracks, etc., was
reflected in the increase in output of certain structural materials, especially after the outbreak of
war in September.
There has been an increasing consumption of stone and lime for other than building purposes.
This has been particularly evident in recent years and is the result of expansion in certain indus-
tries where these materials are utilized in various chemical processes. Shipments of stone and
lime for these purposes are classified, for convenience, with data relating to production of these
same materials for structural purposes. However, statistics pertaining to their consumption for
industrial purposes are segregated in the following tables.

__ *Sand and gravel imports include silica sand for glass and carborundum manufacture and for use in steel plants. This
silica sand was valued at $282,930 in 1935, $270,824 in 1936, $373,760 in 1937, $338,832 in 1938 and $349,256 in 1939.
t Includes cement manufactures which totalled $6,650 in 1938 and $14,968 in 1939.
(a) Prior to 1939 includes value of silica rock (quartzite flux); this rock not included in 1939. idl
CEMENT INDUSTRY
Producers’ sales of cement, as reported by the Canadian Cement Industry, totalled 5,731,264
barrels valued at $8,511,211 in 1939, compared with 5,519,102 barrels worth $8,241,350 in 1938.
Of the 1939 sales, 3,027,759 barrels were produced in Quebec plants, 1,709,263 barrels in Ontario,
343,717 barrels in Manitoba, 377,846 barrels in Alberta and 272,679 barrels in British Columbia.
The high and low prices per barrel in both 1939 and 1938 were $2.35 and $1.25 respectively.
The number of firms reporting commercial production of cement in Canada during 1939
was three and the plants in operation totalled eight. Capital employed aggregated $51,251,358
and the industry distributed $1,297,542 in salaries and wages to 1,001 employees. The total
value of fuel and electricity purchased during the year under review amounted to $1,705,981, of
which $1,092,407 were expended for coal and $589,190 for electricity. Process supplies con-
sumed, including explosives, etc., were valued at $532,058 and the following tonnage of primary
materials of mineral origin were used in the manufacture of the final product: limestone, 1,379,858;
clay, 105,982; gypsum, 31,492; shale, 27,241; sand, 7,942, and iron pyrites, 16. Imports of
Portland cement into the Dominion in 1939 totalled 16,620 barrels worth $58,316 compared with
48,497 barrels valued at $105,326in 1938. Exports in 1939 totalled 156,556 barrels valued at
$159,579 as against 89,419 barrels worth $101,059 in the preceding year.
In 1939, as in the preceding year, the wet process was employed in all Canadian cement
plants with the exception of one plant in Alberta where the dry method was continued.
“Portland cement is the product that is obtained by pulverizing, to a fine consistency, a clinker
produced by calcining to incipient fusion an intimate mixture of properly proportioned argil-
laceous and calcareous substances, with only such additions, subsequent to calcining, as may be
necessary to control setting and certain other properties. Such additions, which usually com-
prise about 3 to 33 per cent by weight of the calcined product, consist principally of gypsum or
mixtures of gypsum and anhydrite. The principal combinations of raw materials are (1) lime-
stone with clay or shale, (2) cement rock (argillaceous limestone either alone or with high calcium
limestone), (3) blast-furnace slag and limestone, (4) marl and clay, and (5) oyster shells and clay.
“Some years ago all Portland cement had fairly constant and uniform properties; in other
words, there was only one standard Portland cement. In recent years the varied demands of
construction have Jed to the development of a variety of Portland cements each adapted to a
particular use. These include high-early-strength, masonry, low heat, and oil well cements....”
(U.S. Bureau of Mines).
In Ontario, Medusa Products Company of Canada, Limited, began operations at Paris, in
June, 1938, manufacturing white Portland cement, waterproofed white Portland cement, white
masonry cement, cement paints, etc., from imported clinker. Since this Company does not
process domestic materials, the statistics relating to their operations have been included in the
Cement Products Industry, as reviewed in the following pages.
According to the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, a recent development of interest to all manu-
facturers of cement is the application of froth flotation to remove a portion of the siliceous material
from limestone. This process is now in use in several parts of the world and limestone deposits,
advantageously situated but too impure in their natural state for cement manufacture, can now
be utilized.

Table 349.—World’s Production of Cement, 1929, 1938 and 1939

(Taken from the Statistical Year-Book of the League of Nations)
Notre.—This table covers, as far as possible, both natural and artificial (Portland, etc.) cements. Cement is made by
burning a mixture of calcareous and argillaceous materials and grinding the resulting clinker. For natural cement, the mixture
used is found as such in nature; for artificial cements, the constituents are mixed in the desired proportions.

THE CEMENT PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
Production of manufactured cement products in Canada during 1939 was valued at $3,716,692
compared with $3,200,419 during 1938.
A total of 122 plants operated in this industry during 1939—there being 72 in Ontario,
27 in Quebec, 9 in British Columbia, 7 in Alberta, 1 in Nova Scotia, 3 in New Brunswick, 1 in
Manitoba and 2 in Saskatchewan. Many of these works were quite small, there being 41 with
outputs of less than $5,000 each, while 62 were in the $5,000 to $50,000 group and only 19 were
above $50,000. The Ontario plants accounted for 51 per cent of the total production; establish-
ments in Quebec contributed 34 per cent, and works in British Columbia accounted for more
than 7 per cent, the remaining 8 per cent being distributed among New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Products included ready-mixed concrete worth $1,198,809, cement pipe of all kinds at
$481,095, hollow building blocks of cement at $653,185, cinder blocks at $240,012, artificial
stone at $149,644, cement blocks at $76,186, and other items, such as, haydite blocks and slabs,
laundry tubs, burial vaults, etc.
Data presented for this industry cover manufacturing only and do not include figures for
the cement work done on the building of bridges, dams, foundations, etc.; this type of work
has been covered in the annual survey of construction. i

THE CLAY AND CLAY PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

The Clay and Clay Products Industry in Canada is classified into two divisions: (1) pro-
duction from domestic clays, which covers the manufacture from Canadian clays of refractories,
building brick, structural tile, floor tile, roofing tile, drain tile, sewer pipe, and pottery, and
(2) production from imported clays, which covers the manufacture of porcelain insulators,
refractories, earthenware, pottery, ceramic floor and wall tile and other products from clays
imported from other countries.
A total of 169 plants representing a total capital investment of $22,602,563 operated in
the domestic and imported clay products industries in Canada during 1939. These two in-
dustries provided employment for 3,262 persons during the year; their earnings totalled $3,312,400.
The combined production in 1939 was valued at $8,123,215 compared with $7,584,972 in 1938.
1. Production from Domestic Clays, 1939
The gross value of Canadian producers’ sales of domestic clays and products made from
same totalled $5,151,236 in 1939 compared with $4,536,084 in 1938 and $13,904,643, the all-time
high record established in. 1929. Commercial production of domestic clay products in 1939
was reported from every province except Prince Edward Island; no output of these materials
has as yet been recorded for the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Of the total value of sales
in 1939, Ontario and Quebec firms contributed $2,346,638 and $1,274,776 respectively.
Sales of building brick in 1939 totalled 165,024 thousand, valued at $2,676,634. Sewer
pipe shipments aggregated $813,208; hollow blocks, roofing and floor tile, $734,488; drain tile,
$353,973 and pottery, including earthenware, $280,420.
Fireclay was mined in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and British Columbia and sales of this
material totalled 10,045 short tons valued at $30,824. Firebrick made from Canadian clays
in 1939 numbered 2,331 thousand worth $119,346. Bentonite shipments during the year under
review amounted to 988 short tons valued at $3,441.
The number of firms reported as active in the Canadian domestic clay products industry
totalled 141 in 1939, of which 82 were located in Ontario, 18 in Quebec, 11 in British Columbia,
10 in Alberta and the balance in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Capital employed by the industry as a whole was reported at $17,940,742; employees numbered
2,165 and salaries and wages paid amounted to $2,161,688. Fuel and electricity used during
1939 were appraised at $998,683 and chemicals and various other process supplies consumed
were valued at $108,815.
Imports into Canada in 1939 of clay and its products, in all forms, were valued at $7,934,630
compared with $7,657,202 in 1938. Of the 1939 imports, $3,610,781 came from the United
Kingdom and $3,887,187 from the United States. Exports in 1939 of Canadian clays and
products made from Canadian clays were appraised at $542,788 against $546,005 in the
preceding year.
The following information relating to Canadian clays is from a report prepared by the
Bureau of Mines, Ottawa. . . . . ‘Common clays suitable for the production of building
brick and tile are found in all the provinces of Canada. The largest producing area in Canada
of stoneware clays or semi-fireclays lies in the vicinity of Eastend and Willows in Saskatchewan;
stoneware clays and moderately refractory fireclays occur near Shubenacadie and Musquodoboit,
Nova Scotia. Stoneware clays, or low-grade fireclays, are also known to occur near Williams
Lake, Quesnel and Chimney Creek Bridge in British Columbia; in the Cypress Hills of Alberta;
and near Swan River, Manitoba. Fireclay refractories are manufactured from domestic clay
at two large and a few small plants in Canada; near Vancouver, B.C., a high grade, moderately
plastic fireclay is obtained by underground mining from the clay beds in the Sumas mountains.
At another plant at Claybank, Saskatchewan, the highly plastic refractory clays recovered by
selective mining from the ‘white mud” beds of Southern Saskatchewan are used. Small quan-
tities of the most refractory clay in the deposits near Shubenacadie, N.S., are mined for refractory
use and the Musquodoboit clay is utilized to some extent for the production of stove linings.
“China clay has been produced commercially in Canada only from the vicinity of St. Remi
d’Amherst, Papineau county, Quebec. Important deposits of high-grade plastic white burning
clays, and buff-burning clays, occur on the Mattagami, Abitibi, and Missinaibi Rivers in Northern
Ontario; some may be classed as china clays, some as fireclays and others as ball clays. They
have attracted considerable interest but have not yet been developed commercially, owing to
their remoteness from industrial centres, and to a lack of transportation facilities. In British
Columbia, along the Fraser River, about 25 miles above Prince George, is an extensive deposit
of high-grade clay, parts of which yield a grade of china clay comparing favourably with the
best found on this continent. Ball clays of high bond strength occur in the white mud beds
of southern Saskatchewan’’.
In asummary review of the industry in 1939, L. H. Cole of the Bureau of Mines states . .
“Few new developments occurred and a large proportion of ceramic products is still produced
in Canada from imported raw materials. Progress was made at the plant of the Canadian
China Clay Company at St. Remi d’Amherst, Amherst township, Papineau county, Quebec,
and it is hoped to have the plant in production early in 1940 producing china clay and high-
grade silica sand. The market for ball clays in Canada is not large but is growing, and there
are also good prospects of developing a profitable export market for Canadian ball clays from
deposits in Saskatchewan to the United States.
“Hach year bentonite finds a wider variety of uses, dependent in large measure on the variable
physical characteristics of the material. Bentonitic clays may be conveniently classed as
(a) swelling and (b) non-swelling when wetted; the former find their principal use in foundry
work as a bonding ingredient for moulding sand, for rejuvenating spent sand, and in core washes,
as well as in pharmaceutical preparations and in many other products and processes. ‘The non-
swelling bentonites are used (chiefly in the activated form treatment with sulphuric acid) for
bleaching in the petroleum and other industries, as well as in oil-well drilling, in which clay
serves to stabilize the viscosity of the mud column, acting as a suspending medium for the barite
or other heavy mineral used to weight the column against gas pressure, and to float up the
drillings, as wellas to seal the wall pores of the drill hole. “4
‘Deposits of clay of the bentonitic character occur in Canada in the cretaceous beds of
the Prairie Provinces, as well as in the tertiary beds of the Princeton-Merritt area in British
Columbia. There was continued production from the deposits at and near Drumheller, Alberta,
as well as small production from the British Columbia and Manitoba deposits. |A deposit has
been discovered near Rockglen, Saskatchewan, material from which has been processed through
the laboratories of the University of Saskatchewan, at Saskatoon, and also of the National
Research Council at Ottawa, and it is reported to be excellent. This deposit is now being
examined with a view to production.”

The United States Bureau of Mines reports that International trade in Fuller’s earth is
confined largely to the exports of American earth to mineral-oil refineries and of English earth to
refineries treating edible oils and mineral fats. Experiments with bauxite began in 1937, for
decolorizing oils by percolation processes and at least three companies in the United States are
now offering it as a substitute for Fuller’s earth.
With the opening up of new clay deposits, the use of the United States clays for treating
edible products increased until 1938, when shipments to vegetable and animal oil refineries also
decreased sharply, probably because of competition from artificially activated or acid-treated
earths. Activated material is now made in California and Mississippi from bentonites having
virtually no decolorizing power in the raw state.

LIME
Production of quick and hydrated lime in Canada during 1939 totalled 552,209 short tons
valued at $4,003,514 compared with 486,922 short tons at $3,542,652 in 1938. The 1939 output
comprised 474,753 short tons of quick lime valued at $3,326,647 and 77,456 short tons of hydrated
lime worth $676,867. During the year under review, 424,287 tons of quick lime and 30,861 tons
of hydrated lime were sold or used by lime producers for chemical purposes while the balance of
Canadian lime production, totalling 97,061 tons and consisting of both quick and hydrated was
sold or used for building, agricultural and other purposes.
Stone used in the production of lime in Canada included calcium, high calcium and dolomitic
varieties of limestone. It is estimated that more than 900,000 tons of limestone was used in the
production of lime in 1939. Lime was produced in all Canadian provinces in 1939 with the
exception of Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan; no commercial production was reported in
the Territories. Of the total Canadian output of lime in 1939, Ontario plants produced 302,259
tons or 54-7 per cent and Quebec 161,112 tons or 29-2 per cent. Imports of lime into Canada in
1939 came entirely from the United States and totalled 6,058 short tons valued at $33,342;
exports of lime during the same period amounted to 9,209 tons at $75,172.
During 1939 the industry reported 59 plants as active, capital employed totalled $4,802,983
and $849,468 in salaries and wages were distributed to 937 employees. The cost of fuels and
purchased electricity used amounted to $944,502 and the value of explosives, chemicals and
other process supplies consumed aggregated $107,510.
The following information relating to lime production is from a report prepared recently by
M. F. Goudge of the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa:
“Time and limestone find important applications in the metallurgy of nickel, lead, copper’
chromium, zinc, tin, gold, silver, antimony, cobalt, molybdenum and other metals; the lime is
used principally as a reagent in flotation, cyanidation and amalgamation processes. Pulverized
limestone (and lime) is spread on acid farm land to sweeten the soil. Lime plays a part in the
preparation of many food products, such as, baking powder and baking soda, gelatin, glucose,
dextrin and saccharine. It is also used in the manufacture of citric, tartaric and other organic
acids. Lime and limestone find applications in the making of building brick and pottery, silica
brick and sand-lime brick. Lime is a valuable enamel constituent in that it increases the opacity
of the enamel. In the lime industry noteworthy developments are occurring. Until recent
years, there was only a very small market for carbon dioxide and the gas evolved during cal-
cination of limestone had been allowed to go to waste. With increasing demand for carbon
dioxide for use as a refrigerant, as an explosive. in chemical processes, in carbonated beverages,
etc., ways and means of recovering carbon dioxide from lime kilns have been devised, and it is
now being marketed in solid and liquid forms from one lime plant in Australia and from another
in the United States. Equipment is also in use in several places for recovering carbon dioxide
from dolomite, leaving lime as a by-product. If the recovery of carbon dioxide becomes a more
general practice, as would seem likely, it would probably tend to decrease the cost of making lime,
which, in turn, would encourage its greater utilization.
“A large new market for white, high-calcium lime has been created by the use of calcium
carbonate filler in place of imported clay in newsprint and magazine paper. Its manufacture in
Canada was begun in 1937. At present the paper companies using it purchase the quicklime
and make the carbonate filler at their own plants.
“During 1939 Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine, Canada, Limited, erected new vertical, gas
fired lime kilns equipped with centre burners at their plants at Beachville, Ontario and at St.
Marc des Carriéres, Quebec. These kilns, which are claimed to be the most modern shaft kilns
on the American continent, have proved very efficient in operation and represent a notable
advance in the technology of manufacturing lime in vertical kilns.
“Time is marketed in the form of quicklime and in the hydrated state, the latter being a
specially prepared slaked lime in the form of a fine powder that is marketed in 50-pound, multi-
wall paper bags.
“Quicklime is marketed in the lump, pebble, crushed and pulverized forms; lump lime and
pebble lime are sold either in bulk or packed in barrels; crushed lime (1 inch and under) and
pulverized lime (ground to minus 20 mesh, and in some plants to minus 50 mesh) are sold in
airtight multi-wall paper bags.
“A new chemical use for lime is in the manufacture of a new plastic from pulp-mill waste
liquor that promises to be one of the cheapest of all plastics; lime is used three times in the process.
“Prices of the various lime products vary over a wide range depending on the geographical
position of the plants and on differences in quality of the lime.”

SAND-LIME BRICK INDUSTRY

Four plants in Ontario and one in Quebec manufactured sand-lime building brick during
1939. The value of their production, including building blocks and bricks, was $212,223 com-
pared with $153,763 in 1988.
These five plants had a capital investment in Canada of $382,745 as represented by the
value of lands, buildings, machinery, inventories and accounts receivable. They employed
an average of 74 persons monthly who received $73,885 in salaries and wages; spent $19,587
for fuel and electricity and paid $66,187 for the materials used in manufacturing processes.
Output of sand-lime brick amounted to 11,805 M valued at $133,168, an increase in both
quantity and value from the 8,774 M brick at $99,573 in the previous year. Production of
sand-lime building blocks also increased to $67,407 from $37,660.

THE SAND AND GRAVEL INDUSTRY
Commercial production of sand and gravel in Canada during 1939 totalled 31,294,341
short tons valued at $11,241,102 compared with the all-time high record of 32,223,882 short
tons at $12,002,554 in 1938. In the totals for both 1939 and the preceding year are sands and
gravels derived from all sources, including recoveries by dredges and material used by railroads
as ballast. y
Quebec and Ontario are Canada’s largest sand and gravel producing provinces, the output
in these provinces in 1939 being, respectively, 10,050,985 short tons and 9,350,875 short tons;
in 1939, the quantity of material washed or screened at Canadian sand and gravel plants totalled
2,754,122 short tons compared with 2,949,360 short tons in 1938, while the quantity of bank
and pit-run grades amounted to 28,540,219 short tons as against a corresponding tonnage of
29,274,522 in the preceding year.
Of the total sand and gravel output in 1939, there were 22,899,751 short tons for concrete,
roads, etc., and 3,223,718 tons as railway ballast. In addition, there were produced 1,169,899
tons of straight sand for building, etc.; 17,618 tons for moulding; 1,541 tons as core sand and
53,478 tons for other purposes. The quantity of crushed gravel produced during the year under
review amounted to 2,475,343 tons and 1,452,993 tons of sand were employed as mine fill.
Imports of sand and gravel, n.o.p., into Canada in 1939 totalled 148,254 short tons appraised
at $69,354 compared with 86,692 tons worth $62,485 in 1938; exports of these materials in 1939
amounted to 242,111 tons valued at $79,415 as against corresponding exports of 609,193 short
tons at $146,050 in 1988.
Firms reported as active in the Canadian sand and gravel industry numbered 1,403 in
1939; of these, 886 were located in Quebec, 434 in Ontario, 26 in British Columbia and lesser
numbers in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Capital
employed by the industry totalled $2,735,690; employees were reported at 6,120; salaries and
wages paid totalled $3,981,913; fuel, electricity and process supplies used aggregated $274,509
and the total net value of production was estimated at $10,966,593.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reports that most of the gravel used for road work comes
from pits that are worked for that purpose. Usually enough gravel is extracted by a portable
or semi-portable plant to supply the immediate needs, following which a sufficient reserve is
built up, in the form of stock piles for two years’ requirements. Thus, the output of gravel
from year to year depends upon the extent of road construction and improvements. Railway
pits may also remain idle for several years. Part of the gravel is crushed, screened, and in
some cases even washed. Some of the provincial highway departments have been using crushed
instead of pit-run gravel on their main highways for a number of years. Most of the large
commercial plants are equipped to produce crushed gravel, a product that can compete with
crushed stone. Sand is used chiefly in the building industry, for which purpose it must be
free from dust, loam, organic matter or clay, and contain but little silt. It is usually obtained
from local deposits. Special grades of sand are used in foundries for moulding, in the filtering
of water supply, and in glass making.

THE STONE INDUSTRY IN CANADA
The Stone Industry in Canada comprises two main divisions:—1. The Stone Quarrying
Industry, including quarries and dressing works operated in conjunction with quarries, and
2. The Monumental and Ornamental Stone Industry, comprising the operations of firms
having no quarries but who operate dressing works where stone for building and monumental
purposes is cut, polished or otherwise finished. In the Census of Industry, statistics on the
stone quarrying industry are included under mining, while statistics of the monumental and
ornamental stone industry are included under manufactures. For convenience this report
carries data for both of these industries.
These two major divisions, constituting the Canadian stone industry, represented a capital
investment of $17,204,666 in 1939. Production during the year totalled $9,022,138 which
figure includes the value of the quarry output and the value added by manufacturing in the
secondary stone industry. Salaried employees and wage-earners in 1939 numbered 4,333 and
their combined earnings amounted to $4,275,358.
The two industries are treated separately in the following review.
1. PRIMARY PRODUCTION—THE STONE QUARRYING INDUSTRY
The kinds of stone quarried in Canada include granite (trap rock, syenite and other igneous
rock), limestone, marble, sandstone, and slate. Stone of almost every known variety occurs
in Canada; rocks of the igneous areas of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and the
Maritime Provinces exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics, some varieties being espec-
ially noted for their richness of colour and beauty of crystallization. The sedimentary rocks,
including limestones, sandstones and marbles are quarried at various points in Canada. The
products from quarries operating in these different formations not only yield high class structural
and decorative materials but provide the chemical and other allied industries with many of
their increasing requirements.
The gross value of all varieties of stone produced in Canada during 1939 totalled $6,475,696
compared with $5,556,026 in 1938. Comprising the tonnage shipped in 1939 were 1,102,395
tons of granite valued at $2,119,501; 4,149,589 tons of limestone at $3,817,551; 14,124 tons of mar-
ble at $200,054; 176,265 tons of sandstone at $331,830 and 1,149 tons of slate worth $6,760.
Of the total value of stone sold in 1939, the value of Quebec shipments amounted to 51 per cent,
Ontario 35 per cent and British Columbia 6 per cent.
Imports of stone and various stone products during 1939 were appraised at $963,560 com-
pared with $768,412 in 1938. Exports of stone from Canada in 1939 were valued at $215,860
as against $225,586 in the preceding year.
The number of firms in the stone quarrying industry reported as active in 1939 totalled
452; capital employed amounted to $12,213,030; employees numbered 3,076; salaries and wages
paid aggregated $2,816,578 and the cost of fuel, electricity and process supplies used was reported
at $1,081,884.

GRANITE
Large areas in Canada are underlain by granite, much of which is suitable for all the purposes
for which the stone is used. The stone quarried consists of granite and related crystalline igneous
rocks which are used for building, decorative, ornamental, or construction purposes, and is
obtained from properties in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and
British Columbia. Granite is employed for building purposes mainly in the larger buildings
such as public and semi-public structures and institutions. In the building trade, coloured
granites are being used to an increasing extent in the form of thin polished slabs for trim for
buildings where contrast is called for in the main colour scheme. At present, the so-called ‘black
granite’ and the “grey” seem to be in most demand for monuments. Stone used in the National
Memorial at Ottawa was quarried during 1938 from Riviére-a-Piérre district northeast of Three
Rivers, Quebec; more than 800 tons of dressed granite were used in the erection of the memorial.
The largest block used weighed over 40 tons dressed.

LIMESTONE
Limestone, on account of the great variety and importance of its industrial uses, is the most
useful of all rocks. It is quarried in all provinces of Canada except Prince Edward Island and
Saskatchewan. New uses are continually being developed, especially for ground and pulverized
limestone in chemical processes.
Rock-wool plants in Canada were active during the year and it is of interest to note that
Canadian rock-wool, made from argillaceous dolomite, was exported to England, Switzerland,
Finland, Holland, South Africa, British West Indies, and the Argentine.
Dolomite is acquiring importance in Europe as a raw material for making metallic mag-
nesium. Canada possesses ample deposits of high-grade dolomite and developments are being
watched with interest in this country.
The application of the use of limestone in agriculture in Canada is capable of enormous
development and is worthy of serious attention on the part of the producers.
Although limestone is widely distributed throughout Canada and is quarried on a large scale
from numerous quarries, it is one of the low-priced industrial minerals and, in consequence,
it has
been found more advantageous to employ foreign material at certain consuming centres in
Canada,
where it can be delivered more cheaply than from a domestic source. Such material is imported in
considerable quantities from the United States and Newfoundland for use as blast furnace
flux,
and from the United States alone for road metal, and for some pulp mills in Ontario near
the
International boundary.
An appreciable increase has occurred in the production of limestone for structural use
in
Canada during the past year, particularly from Ontario and Quebec. The limestone deposits
now being worked for building stone are favourably situated with respect to centres
of population
and the supply of stone is adequate for present and future demands.
:
Variety in the resources of limestone is an important factor insofar as utilization is
concerned.
Hard, tough, siliceous limestone is preferred for making of road metal and railway ballast.
Argil-
laceous limestone, having a low content of magnesium carbonate, is utilized in
the Portland
cement industry. Argillaceous, magnesian limestone is desired for making rock-wool.
The glass
industry can use siliceous limestone provided the iron content is low. For most
chemical and
metallurgical uses, however, pure limestone, generally of the high-calcium variety,
is preferred.
Furthermore, where the limestone is to be used in its calcined state, it should be free from such
impurities as would make the lime dark in colour. The great proportion of limestone products
ranging from flux stone of various sizes down to granules for poultry grit and roofing granules,
require careful crushing and screening. The pulverized products must also be very carefully
prepared to conform to stringent specifications regarding fineness. Recent years have witnessed
an increasing demand for washed stone. (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

SANDSTONE
Canadian sandstone has been utilized extensively in the construction of many important
public buildings in Canada and is finding increasing favour as a material in the construction of
the better type home. The rock occurs in Canada in a variety of colours, including white,
reddish brown, purple (bands), yellow and grey. Shipments of sandstone were made in 1939
from quarries located in all of the provinces withthe exception of Prince Edward Island, Manitoba
and Saskatchewan.

MARBLE
The production of marble depends largely on the status of the building industry in Canada
for the market for Canadian marbles is mainly domestic.
The Canadian market calls for interior decorative marble almost entirely, and very little is
used for the exteriors of buildings. A considerable amount is, however, used for tombstones.
In recent years there has been an increasing demand for marble in the form of terrazzo for flooring,
replacing slabs or tiles.
Marble quarries are operated in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British
Columbia and furnish many colour varieties.
Several developments of interest occurred during the year. A newly incorporated company— _
MAB, Limited, with head office at Quebec—was formed to engage in the quarrying of red marble
and slate near St. Joseph de Beauce, Beauce county, Quebec.
In Ontario, in the quarry of the Silvertone Black Marble Quarries, Limited, at St. Albert, a
40-inch bed of marble was uncovered that, by virtue of its uniform quality and freedom from
flaws, is a potential source of material for the turning of monolithic pillars.
In Alberta, a number of blocks of travertine were quarried from a deposit on the north bank
of the Bow river, near Radnor, 35 miles west of Calgary.
Many deposits of beautifully coloured marbles, particularly in Ontario, Quebec, and British
Columbia, have never been fully investigated, chiefly because the present demand in Canada for
marble of any one colour other than for a staple variety, such as, white, is comparatively small.
The demand for marble of a certain colour also changes from time to time; at present, there is
little call for red and blue, but buff and black marbles are in vogue. (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

WHITING SUBSTITUTE
(Bureau of Mines, Ottawa) ;
Whiting substitute, as the name implies, is chiefly used as a substitute for whiting made
from chalk, from which it differs in certain of its characteristics and because of this it also has
a field of usefulness of its own. It finds its principal use in the manufacture of oilcloth, linoleum,
certain kinds of rubber products, putty and explosives. In lesser quantities it is used in the
manufacture of moulded articles, cleaning compounds and polishes, as a ceramic glaze and for
a number of other purposes. At present all whiting substitute produced in Canada is made
from white marble or white limestone containing only a small percentage of magnesium carbonate,
though in the past a whiting substitute made from white dolomite was produced in Eastern Canada
for making putty. The marble and limestone are pulverized to such fineness that practically
all of the product will pass a 326-mesh screen, though for certain uses 200-mesh material is
suitable.
The principal differences between whiting substitute and chalk whiting are that the former
is generally much whiter, has a lower capacity for absorbing oil, and the individual particles
are sub-angular rather than rounded.
Whiting substitute is manufactured by Pulverized Products, Limited, Montreal; by Claxton

Manufacturing Company, Toronto; by White Valley Chemicals, Limited, Toronto; by Gypsum
Lime and Alabastine, Canada, Limited, Winnipeg; and by F. J. Beale, Limited, Van Anda,
Texada Island, British Columbia.
During 1939, White Valley Chemicals, Limited, built a plant at Bobcaygeon, Ontario,
to produce whiting substitute from marl.
Carbonate filler, a product closely akin to whiting substitute and made by introducing
carbon dioxide gas into milk-of-lime made from high-calcium quicklime, has been produced
in Canada for the past three years. Its use up to the present has been as a filler in newsprint
and book paper, and its manufacture has been undertaken by the paper companies using it.
By-product precipitated chalk, made from waste sludge resulting from the manufacture
of caustic soda from soda ash and lime, is classed as a whiting substitute, but its usefulness is
restricted by the fact that it almost invariably contains a small amount of free alkali. The
raw materials for the manufacture of by-product precipitated chalk are available but it is not
yet being made in Canada.

2. Secondary Production—The Monumental and Ornamental Stone Industry
In 1939 there were 190 stone dressing works whose operations were reported separately
from the quarries. These plants were engaged chiefly in cutting or polishing Canadian or im-
ported stone to produce finished monuments or cut and dressed stone for construction purposes.
Retail establishments engaged only in selling and lettering monuments have not been included.
Output from this industry was valued at $3,805,989 in 1939, a decline of 2-5 per cent from
the total of $3,902,774 reported for the previous year. The 87 works in Ontario accounted for
54 per cent of the total output and the 44 plants in Quebec for 27 per cent. The average number
of employees was 1,257 and $1,458,780 were paid in salaries and wages. Materials used in the
cutting and dressing processes, including stone, cost $1,259,547 and expenditures for fuel and
electricity amounted to $139,438.

DIAMOND DRILLING INDUSTRY, 1940

There were 32 firms engaged in contract diamond drilling of Canadian mineral deposits
during 1940 compared with 35 in 1939. The income received by this industry from drilling
operations conducted during the year under review totalled $3,021,629 as against $3,013,249
in
the preceding year. The number of employees in 1940 was reported at 1,350, and the amount
of salaries and wages distributed totalled $1,575,786. The footage drilled during 1940 in the
entire Dominion aggregated 2,422,948 feet, of which 54 per cent was completed, in
Ontario, 32
per cent in Quebec, and 11 per cent in British Columbia. Contract diamond drilling was also
conducted in Nova Scotia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories.
The industry as a whole purchased, in 1940, borts, ballas, carbons, ready-set

bits, etc.,
amounting in value to $881,085 compared with $607,806 in 1939. Data relating
to Canadian
imports and exports of diamonds in 1940 are not available for publication.
Not included in this survey are data relating to the drilling of gas and oil wells
and diamond
drilling conducted by Canadian mining companies with their own personnel
and equipment.
Statistics relating to these latter operations are combined with those pertaining
to the Canadian
mining industry proper.
It is interesting to note that in 1940 skilled personnel from both the Canadian
Diamond
Drilling Industry and the Canadian Mining Industry participated in important
engineering
work conducted by the British army in Europe.

I mports.—Statements and quantities and values are based on the declarations of importers, as _
subsequently checked by government officials.
The value of imported merchandise is the fair market value or the price thereof when sold
for home consumption in the principal markets of the country whence and at the time when the
Same were exported directly to Canada. The price and value of the goods in every case are
stated as in condition packed ready for shipment, the fair value being shown in the currency of
the country of export, and the selling price to the purchaser in Canada shown in the actual cur-
rency in which the goods were purchased. In the case of goods that are the manufacture or
produce of a foreign country, the currency of which is substantially depreciated, the value stated
is the value that would be placed on similar goods manufactured.or purchased in the United
Kingdom and imported from that country, if such similar goods are made or produced there.
If similar goods are not made or produced in the United Kingdom, the value stated is the value
of similar goods made or produced in any European country, the currency of which is not sub-
stantially depreciated.
. -Exports.—Statements of quantities and values are based on the declaration of exporters as

The value of exports of Canadian merchandise is the actual cost or the value at the time of
exportation at the points in Canada whence originally shipped.
Weight.—Weight, where shown in imports and exports is the net weight of the goods, exclud=
ing the weight of the covers or receptacles, except in the cases of certain goods, as provided in
the tariff.
The expression “ton” means 2,000 pounds, and ewt. 100 pounds, avoirdupois. Where other
units of quantity are used, imperial standards apply.
Unless otherwise arranged, the data relating to the operations of less than three firms pro-
ducing the same commodity or mineral are not published separately.

PREFACE
Because of the importance of the Canadian mining industry in the economic life of the
Nation, it has been the practice for the past number of years for the Mining, Metallurgical and
Chemical Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics to issue three reports a year on mineral
production. The first is a preliminary estimate which is published in mimeographed form on
the first day of January following the year to which it refers. During the second week of March
a preliminary report is printed containing more complete figures and greater detail. The results
are printed in this report when all returns have been received and the final compilation is made.
Owing to wartime censorship, the preliminary bulletins for 1940 were issued in abbreviated
mimeographed form, no figures of production by provinces, and no figures oa the production of
base metals and certain strategic non-metallic minerals were given out. The infomation, how-
ever, was compiled and made available for Governmental information.
In order to have continuity of the printed record, it was decided to print this report in
abbreviated form, but the distribution was to be for official use only. A sufficient number have,
therefore, been printed for distribution to reference libraries after the war.
It will be noted that no figures on imports and exports are included as has been the custom
in former years. These figures will be made available by the External Trade Branch of the
Bureau after hostilities cease and nothing is gained by including them in the present report.
Similarly with world tables, the latest available figures were included in the report for 1939.
These world tables will be brought up to date when world censorship regulations are lifted.
As in previous years, the Bureau cooperated with the Mines Department of the provinces
of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia,
in the collection of these statistics. Forms are filled out in duplicate, thereby saving the operator
extra work and resulting in uniform totals for the provincial and Dominion statistical bureaux.
The thanks of the Bureau are tendered to the mine and smelter operators for assistance
given and information made available. Railway and other transportation companies as well as
smelter operators outside of Canada have also furnished data, the receipt of which is gratefully
acknowledged.
The report has been prepared under the direction of Mr. W. H. Losee, B.Sc., F.C.I.C., Chief
of the Mining, Metallurgical and Chemical Branch, by Mr. R. J. McDowall, B.Sc., and Mr. B. R.
Hayden, of the Mineral Division staff.

ANNUAL REPORT
ON THE
CHAPTER ONE
The year 1940 witnessed Canada’s entry into her second year as a participant in the greatest
World War in history. This memorable year saw the battle of Britain and the heroic and success-
ful defence of the British Isles. It saw the conquest of the greater part of Continental Kurope by
the invader. During this eventful year France, Holland, Belgium, Norway and much of Eastern
Europe fell under the control of a war machine that was years in the making. Against these
forces was mustered the potential strength of the entire Commonwealth of British nations. In
Canada the tempo of a nation long at peace was intensified towards an all-out war effort. Production
of war materials increased and the nation began to gear itself for a life and death struggle.
In this struggle was thrown with fervor the entire weight and effort of the powerful and far
flung Canadian mining industry. Its efforts were reflected in the statistics of production as
recorded for the year under review. The total value of Canadian mineral production in 1940
amounted to $529,825,035, the greatest ever recorded for the Dominion. The output of metals
alone amounted to $382,503,012 of which gold contributed $204,479,083 or 53 per cent. Of the
major and vital war metals produced were 655,593,441 pounds of copper, 245,557,871 pounds of
nickel, 424,028,862 pounds of zinc and 471,850,256 pounds of lead. From recently developed
deposits in British'Columbia came a record output of 153,830 pounds of mercury. In Ontario,
production of iron ore was increased at the New Helen mine, and a concentrated effort in the
old Cobalt camp resulted in the largest recovery of cobalt since 1936. Tungsten showed a slight
increase and plans were studied for the commercial production of metallic magnesium from
Canadian ores.
Consistent with the expanding manufacture of war supplies was a distinct increase over
1939 of $8,166,546 in the total value of all natural fuels produced. Coal output alone totalled
17,566,884 tons while crude petroleum from Canadian wells increased to 8,606,022 barrels as
compared with 7,826,301 barrels in the preceding year.
Of the other non-metal products, the most pronounced increase was realized in the output
of clay products, cement, stone and the various structural materials. This resulted largely from
the great expansion in the construction of air training camps and various other Canadian defense
projects.
The trend in mining employment as a whole was upward in eight months of 1940, when
employment was in rather greater volume than in 1939, the previous maximum for this record;
the annual index was 168-4, compared with 163-8 in the preceding year.
5
In coal-mining, the index averaged 91-3, or slightly above the 1939 figure of 89-3. The
labour force of the 105 co-operating operators included 25,064 workers in 1940, as against a
mean of 24,384 employees in 108 mines in the preceding year.
Employment in the extraction of metallic ores generally was greater than in 1939, or any
other year for which statistics are available; the annual index, at 350-9, was a few points above
the average of 343-1 in the preceding twelve months. The index varied between 342-4 at Jaauary
1, and 354-9 at June 1. The staffs of the 210 reporting firms averaged 43,983 during the year
under review, compared with 42,548 in 233 mines during 1939. War-time demands for both
precious and base metals resulted in the maintenance of a high level of activity among producing
mines; however, in a number of cases it was reported that prospecting and development operations
were curtailed.
Non-metallic minerals, other than coal, afforded more employment in 1940’ than in any
earlier yeac since 1920. The index averaged 142-6 or 5-1 per cent above the 1939 figure of 135-7.

(*) Arsenic was shipped from a gold mine for experimental purposes.
An average payroll of 9,571 persons was employed during 1940 by the 103 co-operating firms,
while those reporting in the preceding year had a mean of 9,052. Quarries and other divisions
coming under this heading recorded a rather better situation.
Efforts throughout the year by both the Federal and Provincial Departments of Mines to
stimulate the production of essential war metals and minerals received the most complete co-
operation of the mining industry. Mining of ore deposits, particularly the non-ferrous ores, was
increased and the non-ferrous smelting and refining industry commenced a program of plant
expansion.
The efficient development of Canadian ore deposits, together with the Dominion’s great
hydro-electric power resources, have equipped and established her as one of the truly great
arsenals of Democracy. She will play a very great part in the achievement of final victory.

+ Since September 16, 1939 quotations used are the average of the daily buying and selling rate set by the Foreign Ex-
change Control Board. The Current buying and selling rates for sterling are $4.43 and $4.47 and for U.S. funds $1.10 and $1.11.

Wholesale and retail prices moved gradually higher during 1940 in continuance of an ad-
vance dating from the outbreak of war. The 1940 increase of 4-0 per cent in the cost of living
index was slightly in excess of the wholesale price index increase of 3-1 per cent. However,
from August 1939 to December 1940, the general wholesale price index rose 16-5 per cent as
compared with 7-1 per cent for the cost of living index.

(c) The Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry; (d) Miscellaneous Data on Monetary Gold
and World Gold Production, Prices, Exchange, etc.

industries— (a) the recovery of gold from the gravels and sands of stream channels or beaches
or what is defined as ‘‘The Alluvial Gold Mining Industry’’; (b) the recovery of lode gold, which
copper, and for this reason the review of Canada’s ‘“‘Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry”’ is
included here to complete a more comprehensive survey of the Canadian Gold Mining Industry.
Gold produced from Canadian ores in 1940 reached an all-time high record of 5,311,145
fine ounces valued at $204,479,0838. This represents an increase over the preceding year of 4-25
per cent in quantity and 11-05 per cent in value. Of the total output in 1940, Ontario mines
contributed 3,261,688 fine ounces; Quebec, 1,019,175 fine ounces, and British Columbia, 617,011
fine ounces. Relatively smaller quantities were recovered from auriferous deposits in Manitoba,
Yukon, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia and Alberta. Production according
to type of deposit or nature of recovery included 82-71 per cent from crude gold bullion bars
produced at “gold mines’’; 10-0 per cent from blister or anode copper; 4-61 per cent from copper-
nickel matte, ores, slags, etc., exported; 2-12 per cent from alluvial deposits, and 0-56 per cent
from base bullion made chiefly from silver-lead ores.
Accurate statistics relating to gold production in most foreign countries have been increasingly
difficult to obtain since the commencement of the war in 1939. From data made available, it is
estimated that Canada as a world gold producer ranked at least third in 1940 in the quantity
of the precious metal produced. The Union of South Africa, with the great producers of the
Transvaal field, ranked a definite first, while production in the United States, exclusive of output
in the Philippine Islands, was estimated at approximately 4,808,231 fine ounces or some 502,914
fine ounces less than the Canadian total. Reliable data relating to gold production in Russia
are unobtainable, but a conjectural total output of 5,000,000 ounces was reported for this country
in 1939.
The estimated average price per ounce of fine gold, expressed in Canadian currency, was
$38-50 in 1940 compared with $36-14 in 1939. Practically all new bullion produced in the
Dominion from Canadian ores is sold to the Dominion Government through the Royal Canadian
Mint at Ottawa, or to the Dominion Assay Office at Vancouver. This gold is refined, converted
into fine gold bars weighing approximately 400 ounces each, and is usually disposed of in world
markets wherever the most advantageous net price can be obtained.
The following is an excerpt from an announcement made April 30th, 1940, by the Hon. J. L.
Ralston, Canadian Minister of Finance at that time:
“As part of the requisitioning of foreign exchange resources, the large gold and exchange
reserve of the Bank of Canada is being transferred (May Ist, 1940) to the Foreign Exchange
Control Board and the minimum gold reserve requirement for the Central Bank is being dis-
continued. In normal times, it is essential that a central bank should maintain a substantial
reserve of gold and foreign exchange, for if it does not do so, it is not well equipped to face an
emergency. It will be recalled that in his last Annual Report, the Governor of the Bank of Canada
referred to the fact that during the previous three years the gold and foreign exchange holdings
of the Bank had been increased in order to have additional resources readily available in case
of war. The war emergency is now with us, and the institution of foreign exchange control makes
it desirable to bring together, in one central fund, the gold and foreign exchange reserves of
Canada. The transfer of the Bank of Canada’s gold and foreign exchange holdings to the Ex-
change Fund, which is now being operated by the Foreign Exchange Control Board, subject to
the directions of the Minister of Finance, forms part of this program.
“Tt will be recalled that shortly after the outbreak of war, similar action was taken by the
British Government. On September 6, 1939, gold held by the Bank of England was transferred
to the Exchange Equalization Account and the foreign exchange balances of British nationals,
including the Bank of England, were requisitioned, and transferred to the said account.
“The Foreign Exchange Control Board will, as part of the transfer procedure, be purchasing
some $250 millions of gold and foreign exchange from the Bank of Canada, plus the foreign ex-
change which will be sold by other Canadian residents.”
Data relating to the gold reserves of the Bank of Canada were not published for 1940.
The publication of statistics showing the gross imports and exports of gold has been tem-
porarily suspended as from September, 1939. Statistics for periods prior to this time have been
under earmark are compiled in the Foreign Trade Branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

In 1940, and for many years past, the greater part of the Canadian production of alluvial
gold came from the Yukon Territory and British Columbia; relatively small quantities are also
obtained in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec.
deposits in 1940. Of this production, 87 ounces came from Saskatchewan, 271 ounces from Al-
berta, 39,067 ounces from British Columbia and 99,881 ounces from Yukon. In addition to crude
gold recovered, there were 24 ounces of platinum obtained in 1940 from alluvial deposits in
British Columbia.
Quebec.—During 1940 the Appalachian Mining Syndicate completed 120 feet of trenching
on a property located near Stratford Centre; the trenching was reported as 12 feet deep and 10 feet
wide and the work was conducted in the months of June and July. Embergold Mines Ltd. was
active from January 1 to June 30; this Company is developing properties in Ditton and Emberton
Townships, Compton County, and reported both surface and underground operations on Lat. 14,
Range 10, Ditton Township. In Compton Township a portable placer testing machine was
purchased by Moe River Gold Mines Ltd. and numerous test pits and trenches were dug and
land cleared by the Company. On Lat. 11, Range 5, Westbury Township, Compton County,
trenching was carried on by W. A. Davis and approximately 5 ounces of gold were recovered.
Ontario.—Placer mining operations in Ontario in 1940 were restricted to the sampling of
deposits by the Onwatin Placing Mining Syndicate Ltd. Ground explored by this Syndicate is
located in Beulah, Hutton, Parkin and Norman Townships in the Capreol District. No com-
mercial production was reported.
Saskatchewan and Alberta.—Placer gold has been mined along the North Saskatchewan
chewan, from about 1860. Most activity has, however, been confined to the Alberta region,
particularly in the vicinity of Edmonton.
The returns of gold from the river for a period of thirty-two years, from 1887 to 1918, are
by means of mercury.
The gold is irregularly distributed in the gravels of the river and under bench gravels and is
recovered when conditions are convenient to work such bars which move from point to point
according to the vagaries of the stream. No individual reports are received from prospectors and
production as credited to placer mining is obtained from Government mint statements. .
individual placer gold mining operation in British Columbia inasmuch as a considerable quantity
114 operators who reported 351 employees and the distribution of $557,685 in salaries and wages.
Consumption of fuel and process supplies amounted to $82,303. The value of crude gold produc-
tion was $1,191,543 compared with $1,454,573 in 1939. The quantity of sands and gravels treated
during the year under review was estimated at 7,936,685 cubic yards; equipment employed in
mining included hydraulic jets (monitors-giants), gasoline shovels, drag lines, steam shovels,
tractors and land dredges. Material worked included bench gravels, river gravels, glacial deposits,
tertiary channels and tailings. Operations were conducted both at the surface and underground.
Yukon.—The following is from the Annual Report of G. A. Jeckell, Controller of Yukon

Territory, for the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1941:
“The amount of placer gold mined during the year in the Territory on which royalty export
tax was paid was 98,138-61 ounces, produced as follows: Dawson District, 95,293 -07 ounces;
Mayo District, 1,938-5 ounces; Whitehorse District, 907-04 ounces. The royalty collected was
$36,802.34. The gold production was 9,939-28 ounces less than for the previous year.
“In the Dawson District, one hundred and seven new placer location grants, forty-five
relocation grants and two thousand three hundred and twenty-five renewal grants were issued,
representing two thousand four hundred and seventy-seven placer claims in good standing.
Three dredging leases were renewed, covering twenty-three miles and fees for renewal of four
hydraulic leases were paid.
“In the Mayo District fourteen new placer location grants, seven relocation grants, and
ninety-four renewal grants were issued, making one hundred and fifteen placer claims in good
standing. Applications were received in the mining recorder’s office for twenty-one placer pros-
pecting leases covering forty-two miles of ground.
“In the Whitehorse District, fourteen new placer location grants and twenty-six renewal
grants were issued, making forty claims in good standing. Applications were received in the
Recorder’s Office for ten prospecting leases covering eighteen miles of ground.
“The total number of placer claims in good standing for the whole Territory was two thousand
six hundred and thirty-two.
“The hydro-electric plant of the Yukon Consolidated Gold Corporation Limited, on the
North Fork of the Klondike River, was operated for the entire year and generated a total of
36,991,700 kilowatt hours, an increase of 10% over the previous year. Approximately 85% of
the output was used by the Company in connection with placer mining operations and the balance
sold to the Dawson City Utility Companies. During the season the power ditches of the Com-
pany aggregated 22 miles in length and were maintained in first class condition. Hydraulic
muck stripping operations were conducted during the summer season at eight large plants; the
yardage removed was about 14% higher than during the preceding years; a total of $229,530
was expended on stripping operations, an average of 5-34 cents per cubic yard. Cold water
thawing operations were continued at six plants formerly operated and a new plant on Middle
Hunker was operated for the entire season. Nine dredges were operated by the Company for
the entire season and a tenth dredge, No. 4, was operated until July 6th when it was shut down
and dismantled after completion of mining in the Arlington Area at the mouth of Hunker Creek.
Due to a combination of favourable conditions and an early breakup, the dredges were able to
start earlier than usual in the spring, and the last one started on April 29th, which is a record
for the district. Dredging closed down on dates from November 2nd to January Ist. Prospecting
drilling was resumed by the Company during the season, two drills being operated continually
from early in April until the latter part of October. .
“The Holbrook Dredging Company, in Receivership, operated a dredge on the Upper-
Sixtymile River, commencing on May 15th and closing down on November 3rd, 1940. The dredge
is diesel operated and equipped with fifty-two four foot buckets. Operations were continued in
1940 on Miller Creek by Stewart and Campbell, and a few individual miners operated on Glacier
Creek. On Clear Creek, in the Stewart River, area, extensive operations were carried on by
Canadian Placers Ltd.; new equipment included 2-T'd-18 International Tractors: 1-10B Bucyrus
Erie Dragshovel; and 1-37-B Bucyrus Erie Dragline; ten camp buildings were erected and thirty-
seven and one-half miles of road were constructed from the river landing at McQuesten Landing
field to the mining camp on the left fork of Clear Creek; with Government aid the actual mining
operations were started on September 13th and continued to October 13th, with very satisfactory
results. ;
“In the Mayo District more extensive placer operations were carried on than formerly,
particularly on Haggart Creek, Dublin Gulch and Highet Creek. Individual placer mining was
generally on the increase throughout the Territory, and there was an increase in new locations
and areas acquired under prospecting lease.”’

THE AURIFEROUS QUARTZ MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA
The great part of the gold of Canada comes from the Canadian Shield, an immense area of
precambrian rocks extending from the Labrador Coast westward almost to the mouth of Mac-
Kenzie River. The area of the shield is roughly 1,825,000 square miles, almost half of Canada.
The deposits of the shield are of two main types, namely, quartz veins, from which most of the
gold, up to the present time, has been won, and sulphide deposits which produce a smaller but
very considerable proportion. The second great source of gold in Canada has been the Western
or Cordilleran section, comprising British Columbia and. Yukon Territories; the gold production
from this section includes relatively large quantities obtained from alluvial deposits. The third
principal area in which gold deposits occur is the Acadian region of Eastern Canada, the metal
occurring principally in Nova Scotia where it has been mined since 1862.
The number of Canadian gold mining firms reporting mining operations in 1940 totalled
428 compared with 455 in 1939; 80 in 1929 and 65 in 1923. During the year under review, there
were 438 properties in operation compared with 474 in 1939; in 1940, 278 mines reported pro-
duction as against 232 in 1939 and 33 in 1923. |
The gross value of output for the entire industry and including the value of all recoverable
metals, including gold, silver, etc., totalled $178,790,485 in 1940 compared with $160,014,172 in
1939. Of the 1940 total, $122,675,051 were contributed by mines in Ontario, $29,003,738 by
mines in Quebec, and $20,413,118 by the gold mines of British Columbia.
Employees in the lode gold mining industry totalled 31,405 compared with 30,622 in 1939
and 5,524 in 1923. Salaries and wages paid increased from a total of $53,206,225 in 1939 to
$55,205,096 in 1940 and fuel and purchased electricity consumed by the industry during 1940
amounted to $8,147,304 while the cost of explosives, drill steel and other process supplies used
in the same period amounted to $20,751,201. | |
Dividends paid during 1940, as computed from actual returns made by the lode gold mining
industry, totalled $39,431,890.
Nova Scotia Gold Mining Industry, 1940
(J. P. Messervey, Inspector of Metal Mines and Quarries, Nova Scotia Department of Mines)
The Rehabilitation Project commenced last year in the Fifteen Mile Stream Gold District
was continued throughout the year 1940. This project was carried on jointly by the Department
of Labor for Nova Scotia and the Federal Department of Labor to rehabilitate coal miners from
the Thorburn area of Pictou County. All surface installations were completed early in the year
and fairly extensive development work was carried out on the 90 foot lev:l from the McLean
shaft. This work along with the usual surface operations, including milling gave instruction and
training to 140 men. Near the end of the year, straightening of the McLean shaft and sinking
of the shaft to the 200 foot level was being carried out. Exploration work on the 200 foot level
is expected to commence early in February.
The Mine Apprentice Project carried on at Chester Basin for about three years was closed
during the winter of 1940. The war situation definitely changed the necessity for training youths
in the art of hard rock mining. The project under normal conditions more than proved its worth
and successfully trained hundreds of young men who were able to find immediate employment
in the industry after completing their training.
Guysboro Mines Limited continued another year of successful operations at Goldenville.
Underground developments were confined to the 400, 500 and 600 foot levels. The establishment
of a sorting and crushing station between the 500 and 600 foot levels underground was completed
about the end of the year replacing the old plant on the surface. Final touches to the buildings
on the surface were also completed.
At Goldboro, Seal Harbor Gold Mines Limited, continued mining and milling operations at
the rate of 250 tons per day. The main inclined winze was sunk for a length of 300 feet from the
550 foot level to the 625 foot and 700 foot levels. Development work will be carried out on these
levels during 1941 along with continued sinking of the winze to lower levels.
Also at Goldboro, the Victoria Gold Mines Limited commenced work on the Victoria mine
during the latter part of the year. Mining equipment buildings were erected on the surface and
treatment of ore in the ten stamp mill of the Seal Harbor Gold Mine was begun in December.
The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company carried on another year of successful
operations at Caribou Mines. Stoping operations were confined to ore above the 500 foot level.
A new ore body of extensive proportions was discovered and partially developed during the year.
Killag Gold Mines Limited carried on underground operations in the Killag Gold District
for nine months of the year.
Avon Gold Mines Limited at Oldham carried out their original program and deepened the
‘main inclined winze from the 675 foot level to the 925 foot level. Lateral development on the
550, 675, 800 and 925 foot levels was carried out.
Queens Mines Limited who commenced work in the Molega Gold District late in 1939
continued steady operations throughout the year. Original operations were carried out by a
steam plant but this was supplanted by hydro electric power which was brought into the district
last spring. Underground developments have been carried out on the 200 foot level and an
initial ball mill unit of 15 tons capacity was installed during the summer.
L. H. Douglas continued with small scale operations at Whiteburn during the year. This
operation has carried on steadily for the past four years.
Interest in the development of the gold fields of the province has increased considerably.
New Brunswick
(New Brunswick Department of Lands and Mines)
Gold prospects in Victoria County located on a road some fifteen miles from Wapske, and
others on the Wapskehegan about three miles above the mouth of Sadler Brook were examined.
The bed rock is well exposed by shallow pits. It consists of pinkish rhyolite with disseminated
specs of pyrite, and of greenish diabase with specks and small vugs of pyrite. Four samples
taken carried gold in quantities varying from 0-005 to 0-01 ounces per ton, and seven carried
silver in quantities varying from 0-02 ounces to 0-06 ounces per ton. In most instances the
samples represent large volumes of rock but the values were so low that further work was not
encouraged.
The Gold Industry in Quebec in 1940
(A. O. Dufresne, Deputy Minister)
The province of Quebec still holds second place among the provinces of the Dominion with
a gold production (shipments) valued at $39,169,361 from 1,017,386 ounces for the year 1940.
‘This is an increase over the previous year of close to 7% weight, and 14% in value.
A total of 29 regular mines contributed to this production, all of which are located in that
region extending 100 miles westward of Larder Lake to the Bell River. Of these mines, eleven
produced over a million dollars in gold and six others were within 50% of that mark. In order
of importance they are Noranda, Lamaque, East Malartic, Beattie, Sigma, Perron, Siscoe,
Malartic Goldfields, Sullivan, Canadian Malartic, O’Brien, -Powell-Rouyn, Belleterre, Sladen
Malartic, Stadacona, Cournor and Wood Cadillac.
There are two main types of ores out of which gold is extracted. These are the “straight
gold ores” and the ‘‘complex sulphide ore bodies’’. In the first type the gold is found in quartz
or highly silicified gangue, and in the second it occurs in replacement lenses of iron, copper and
zine sulphides, out of which copper and zine are also produced. The percentage of gold derived
from deposits of the first type represents 74% of the total in 1940 against 72% in the previous year.
Staking of claims fell off about 40% from 1939 when the number of claims recorded totalled
8,781. In 1938 the number was 11,320 and during the record year of 1937 it was 18,641.
The Amm, Mooshla and Arntfield ceased producing during 1940, while Pandora and Senator-
Rouyn registered their first production of bullion. However, in the case of Arntfield, the halt in
production was only temporary, and the mill treated the Senator-Rouyn ore. (At May, 1941
Arntfield had resumed milling its own ore while Senator-Rouyn completed construction of a
mill on its property.)
Rouyn Area.—Aldermac, Noranda and Waite Amulet, (as also Normetal in the Desmeloizes
Area) are the only gold producers working on complex sulphide ores. At Arntfield, from October
12th to the end of the year the mill was operated on a lease arrangement for the treatment. of
Senator-Rouyn ore, while development underground was pushed in a search for new ore bodies.
Francoeur milled an average of 180 tons during the year. Underground development of No. 8
zone was carried out from the second level of the main zone. The new zone lies 800 feet North
and had been tested in 1939 by diamond drilling. The McWatters mine increased the tonnage
treated by about 30% for a daily average of 120 tons. A reduction in grade has resulted in a
correspondingly longer life expectancy. At Powell-Rouyn No. 2 shaft was completed and reached
a depth of 1,725 feet. At 1,900 feet south-east of it, No. 3 shaft was commenced with the object
of mining a large body of low-grade siliceous ore. A 450 ton treatment plan was constructed and
put in operation during September. Senator-Rouyn entered the class of gold producers; the ore
was shipped to the Arntfield mill while construction of its own mill and plant additions were in
progress. The Senator-Rouyn mill was in operation as scheduled in the latter part of April,
1941. The property of Stadacona-Rouyn continued operations during the year under a receiver-
ship. An average of 400 tons of ore were milled during the year.
Duparquet Area.—The Beattie mine is still the only producer in this area. The milling
rate was maintained at 1,700 tons per day.
Bousquet-Cadillac Area.—During the first six months of the year, 4,901 tons of high
grade ore were shipped from the Mooshla to the Noranda Smelter. The Amm mine ceased to
operate about July, but the mill was continued in operation by Pandora-Cadillac; its ore being
trucked from the No. 2 and No. 3 shaft areas. Central Cadillac also used motor transport for
its ore, and 59,400 tons were thus sent to the Thompson Cadillac mill for treatment. In addition,
2,723 tons of Kewagama ore accumulated on surface from past development work were. also
hauled to the Thompson mill as a result of an arrangement between Central and Kewagama.
The mill continued to operate normally at Lapa Cadillac with an average daily tonnage of 265
tons. At the O’Brien milling averaged 185 tons per day. Underground development is to be
carried below the 2,000 foot level by an internal shaft. 90% of the mill feed at the Wood Cadillac.
came from the magnetite-jasper orebody; a total of 76,745 tons of ore were treated during the year.
Mud Lake Area.—The only producer in this area was Belleterre, a subsidiary of McIntyre
Porcupine Gold Mines Ltd. During the year 88,281 tons of gold ore were milled; the pul capacity
having been increased from 200 to 300 tons per day.
Malartic Area.—A daily average of about 750 tons were milled at Canadian Malartic.
This constitutes an increase over the 1939 average of 675 tons. Improved position in ore reserves
will permit a plant capacity of 1,000 tons per day. At the East Malartic an average milling rate
of 1,483 tons was maintained as against 969 tons per day in the previous year. Ore reserves are
estimated at close to 2,500,000 tons grading $6.45 in gold. The mill capacity at Malartic Gold-
fields was increased from 300 to 600 tons and it is expected that minor additions will bring it
up to 1,000. For the year 1940 a total of 150,201 tons of gold ore were treated for a recovery of
33,942 ounces. Sladen Malartic milled an average of 650 tons of ore per day; underground devel-
opment was carried out from the 350 foot level into National Malartic ground where 4,357 tons
of development ore were taken out and treated in the Sladen mill.
Dubuisson-Bourlamaque Area.—Siscoe hoisted an average of 640 tons of ore per day

out of which about 110 tons were sorted out and discarded as waste. A policy of outside explora-
tion was carried out during the year and it is reported that forty-five prospects were examined.
At Sullivan, milling was maintained at a rate of 340 tons per day. An average of 1,218 tons of
ore were treated daily at the Lamaque mine; No. 2 shaft was further deepened in April and at
the year’s end had reached a depth of 2,816 feet. The new hoist equipment at No. 2 shaft. of
Sigma was completed in the latter part of the year, and will be capable of handling over 1,000
tons to a depth of 3,000 feet. Milling operations during the year averaged 765 tons per day.
Pascalis-Louvicourt Area.—During the year Perron deepened its No. 5 shaft another 800
feet, down six new stations to the 1,875 foot level. The daily milling rate averaged 385 tons.
At the Cournor the mill treated 200 tons of ore per day. About two-thirds of this ore came from
the adjoining Beaufor workings.
58 | DOMINION BUREAU OF STATISTICS
There was a good deal of activity in the field of exploration and development in practically.
all localities of Western Quebec. Several properties were examined under options or similar
arrangements by Sullivan, Teck Exploration, Siscoe, Anglo Huronian, Inspiration, Toburn,
Kirkland Lake, Howey, Consolidated Mining & Smelting, McIntyre and many others. Under-
ground development was carried out at the Mic Mac, West Malartic, Central Mining, Kiena,
Pascalis. At the Flordin in Desjardins Township work was done on the 200 and 350 foot levels,
but operations were suspended in December. Drifting on the 200 foot level at Senore, next to
the Perron mine, opened up four ore showings. Work was suspended in July, however. Under-
ground lateral work and diamond drilling was reported at Lacoma until the month of June when
operations were halted.
Gold Mines of Ontario—1940
(Maurice Tremblay—Ontario Department of Mines)
Gold Mines of Southeastern Ontario.—The spurt of activity in the gold mining areas
of southeastern Ontario which was manifested by the production of one gold mine and develop-
ment work at two other properties in 1939, died down in 1940. At the Addington mine of Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Company, the old mill was dismantled and pulled down. The
same mother company which had operated the Cordova mine decided to shut down and abandon
the property on July 30, 1940. This property milled 26,526 tons of ore, 2,071 of which came from
surface dumps. The Cordova mill equipment moved to Yellowknife in the Northwest Terri-
tories. Steady operations on a small scale were carried on throughout the year by the Mayboro
Milling Company which developed a property which was formerly part of the old Diamond mine.
The main shaft was deepened 50 feet to a total depth of 156 feet and a second level was established
at a vertical depth of 135 feet. The mill treated 160 tons of ore in November and December.
Gold Mines of Larder Lake Area.—In this mining area which starts at the Quebec bound-
ary and extends as far west as the Kirkland Lake area proper, activity centered at the three
producing mines, Kerr Addison, Chesterville and Omega. Some development work was done
at Cheminis Gold Mines Limited, but operations were suspended in August, 1940. Additions to
the steel shop, electric shop and heating plant were made at the Keir Addison Mines Limited,
and a new steel-and tile hoist house was built for the new 10-foot Nordberg hoist for the cage
and skip assemblies. The mill capacity was increased in the latter part of the year in preparation
for an eventual daily tonnage of 1,800 tons. In 1940 the lowest level under development was at
1,450 feet. Average mill tonnage at Kerr Addison was 1,221-6 tons. Chesterville Larder Lake
Gold Mining Company erected a new tile and concrete hoist house for the C.I.R. double-drum
4"’ x 8” hoist acquired from Sylvanite Gold Mines. The mill and steel shop were enlarged. A
new steel headframe was under construction at the end of the year and the average mill tonnage
reached 600 tons per day.
Gold Mines of Kirkland Lake Belt.—The Kirkland Lake area proper embraces Teck and
Lebel Townships and parts of the Townships in the east, north and west. For convenience, ad-
joining areas in the district of Timiskaming (exclusive of the Larder Lake and Matachewan
areas) are grouped together under the designation Krikland Lake “‘Belt’”’. The number 2 shaft
at Macassa Mines Limited was sunk 1,195 feet to complete it to 4,070-foot depth, and stations
were established at 3,000, 3,350 and thereafter at 125-foot intervals to 4,000 feet. The number 1
winze was sunk 450 feet to the 4,310 horizon and levels were established at 3,875, 4,000, 4,125,
and 4,250 feet. The number 2 shaft is now connected to the main workings on the 3,000, 3,350,
3,475, 3,600 and 3,725 levels. Three residences and enlargements of the steel shops plus the
construction of an iron and steel warehouse were added to the buildings already erected at the
property. The lowest stoping level was at 3,725 feet. During 1940 the cross-cut from No. 1
winze on the 2,600-foot level was driven under the No. 2 main shaft at Kirkland Lake Gold.
The shaft was raised to connect with the former sump below 2,475 feet and 45-foot sump was
sunk below the 2,600-foot level where ore-pockets were installed. An ore-pass was also raised
to the 2,475-foot level. In the No. 2 main shaft combination cages and skips were installed.
Mill tonnage was maintained at 400 tons per day from the middle of the summer to the end of
the year. There was nothing outstanding at Teck-Hughes Gold Mines, Limited. The mill treated
ons per day. At the Lake Shore Mine sinking operations at the No. 6 shaft were temporarily
halted 50 feet below the 4,700-foot level. No. 4 shaft was sunk 1,434 feet to the 5,760 horizon
and levels were established at 125-foot intervals from the 5,200-foot level to the 5,700-foot level.
Sinking is continuing in 1941. A double-deck cage was installed in the fourth compartment of
No. 5 winze, in balance with the counter weight in the manway at the Wright-Hargreaves mine.
The hoist for the winze is on the 3,900-foot level. The fourth compartment in question was
formerly a ventilation compartment. Development was spread over all levels except nine between
the 200-foot level and the 6,300-foot level. The mill averaged 1,210 tons per day during the year.
A new hoist with a capacity of 28,000 pounds and with a rope speed of 1,560 feet per minute
equipped fully with safety devices was installed at the Sylvanite mine. Work was continued
during the year on the No. 5 winze which is collared at the 3,150 level. A new 3,300 V. power
cable was installed from surface down No. 2 shaft to the 3,150 level and to the No. 5 winze. It
is expected that the winze will be sunk continuously to the 5,150 level. The mill treated an
average of 580 tons per day during 1940 which constitutes an increase of 145 tons per day over
the comparable period of 1939. After the sub-shaft was sunk 6,336 feet during 1940, levels were
established at 125-foot intervals from the 1,975-foot level to the 2,475-foot level at the Toburn
Gold Mine. A double-drum, 10,000 pound pull hoist was installed on the 1,080 level to serve the
sub-shaft. A new steel headframe was erected over the main shaft and a new hoist room was
built. The company also purchased a new hoist similar to the winze hoist and a new time office
and warehouse was erected. The mill treated an average of 163 tons per day over the year.
Toburn also carried out some exploration at Federal Kirkland Mining Co. from their own workings.
At the Amalgamated Kirkland Mines, Limited, property (formerly Kirkland Hunton Gold
Mines) it was expected that the underground drive from the Macassa mine would reach the
property by the end of 1941. Macassa was also driving underground towards the Casakirk Gold
Mines Ltd. property. Surface exploration was done at the Miles Martin Kirkland Gold Mines
under the direction of Kirkland Hudson Bay Gold Mines Ltd. During 1940 the No. 2 winze at
Bidgood Kirkland Gold Mines, Limited, was sunk 174 feet and levels were established at 1,900
feet and 20-25 feet horizons. Several highgrade ore bodies were worked on the 900-foot horizon
of the No. 2 workings after the winze there had been sunk 100 feet. The section in question is
now connected with the 1,025-foot level. Average daily tonnage milled during the year was
138 tons. At the Upper Canada Mines’ property where the average milling rate for the year
was 183 tons per day, the shaft was deepened 252 feet and levels were established at 875 feet
and 1,000 feet. Brock Gold Mines was also active during the period under review. A 3-compart-
ment shaft was sunk 220 feet and a level was established at the 200-foot horizon. Prior to sus-
pension of operations at the Anoki Gold Mines, the shaft at that property was deepened 254 feet
to a depth of 754 feet and levels were established at 600 feet and 735 feet. There was very little
development at the Omega Gold Mines, Limited property and outside of the installation of mill
ventilation equipment, there was little new to report. The mill treated on the average 472 tons
of ore per day. Some surface work only was done at Raven River Mines, Limited (Laguerre
Gold Mines, Limited). Wolfe Lake Gold Mines, Limited, which is a reorganization of Lakeland
Gold Mines, carried on minor operations. The No. 2 shaft was dewatered and sampled. No
work was being done at the end of the year. Golden Gate Mining Company in the Goldthorpe-
Swastika Section sunk its No. 2 shaft 349 feet and levels were established at 725, 850, and 975
feet. Mining of a flat vein on the Crescent Kirkland Gold Mines’ property which was acquired
by Golden Gate is being carried on through an adit. The mill averaged 70 tons per day through-
out the year. Yama Gold Mines confined its developments to two levels, one at 375 feet and the
other at 500 feet. These levels were established after the shaft had been deepened to the 520-foot
horizon. Yama was the only active property in the Boston Creek Section.
Gold Mines of Porcupine Belt.—Aunor Gold Mines, Limited shipped bullion for the
first time in January, 1940. During the balance of the year the average tonnage milled was 363
tons. Development work was inaugurated at the Bonetal Gold Mines, Limited. This Company
had been incorporated on November 10, 1936, sinking of a three-compartment shaft was com-
menced and a temporary mining plant was installed. A modern mining plant was later assembled
and by the end of the year the plant installation was nearing completion. Broulan Porcupine
Mines, Limited, which had forwarded ore for treatment to the Old Mace mill completed the
erection of a new mill during 1940. The Mace mill is now idle for the first time in many years.
Activity at the Buffalo Ankerite Gold Mines, Limited was transferred from the No. 2 shaft to
the No. 5 shaft upon the completion of a new crushing plant underground and grinding on the
surface. An excellent miners’ change house and a central heating plant was also erected in the
vicinity of No. 5 shaft. The Company also completed a connection between No. 5 shaft and the
deepest workings of the older part of the mine. This connection has been of great interest to
mining men locally as well as to visitors from foreign mining fields because of the nature of the
ground traversed and the methods used to accomplish it. The most difficult ground was ser-
pentine and the trouble resulted from the swelling of the ground. In timbering the combinations
of huge timber and steel beams were not sufficient to keep the cross cut open. This was finally
accomplished by using steel rings covered with concrete reinforced with 30” track rails. The
steel rings had to be kept close to the face at all times. The rails outside the rings were used in
short lengths. These were inserted in holes dug around the outside of the face in such a. way as
to give a lap joint at each ring. Another new addition to the list of gold producers in the Porcupine
district, Faymar Porcupine Gold Mines, Limited, turned over its new mill at the beginning of
April. This Company treated an average of 180 tons of ore from its mine workings plus an addi-
tional 50 tons from the adjoining property of Nakhodas Mining Company, Limited. The first.
concrete headframe ever to be:used at a Canadian mine was erected during 1940 at the Hollinger
Consolidated Gold Mines, Limited. This headframe is unique both as to design and as to: its
enormous size. It was expected to be put into operation about April or May of 1941. This shaft
would then become the main ore shaft of this great mine. The Ross mine which is operated by
Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, Limited, saw some improvement during the year. Late in
1940 a’new and larger headframe was under construction. A community hall and a curling rink
for the benefit of the employees were also built. Hoyle Gold Mines, Limited, completed initial
development and decided to build a 500-ton mill, the erection of which was completed just after
the end of the year. Nakhodas Mining Company, Limited acquired a single claim in Tisdale
Township in 1940. Years ago a shaft was sunk on this claim to a depth of 229 feet but no levels
were opened. Installation of a plant was commenced in May and in July ore shipments were
made to the Faymar Porcupine Mine. During the latter part of the year, the Nakhodas mined
about 300 tons of ore weekly. Added attention was given to exploration within porphyry masses
at the McIntyre Porcupine Mines, Limited and from 4,500 feet of drifting was developed 100
feet of ore averaging 0-29 ounces over drift width. It must be remembered that prior to 1939
the Company had never found any worthwhile ore deposits in the porphyry masses on the
property. Development at the Pamour Porcupine Mines, Limited, property in 1940 consisted of
drifting east on the 800, 1,000, 1,200, 1,400 and 1,600-foot levels and west on the 400, 600 and
1,400-foot levels. A curling rink was built at this mine for the use of employees of the mine as
well as those of the adjacent Hallnor mine. Hallnor Mines, Limited, completed 35,273 feet. of
diamond-drilling during 1940. During the period under review, raising was done on the Ist, 2nd,
5th, 6th, 7th and 8th levels. The ore pass raise was completed to the skip-loading pocket between
the 8th and 9th levels. Grizzlies and control shutes were installed on the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th
levels. All diamond-drilling was done underground with 289 holes which gave the total length
mentioned earlier. Following the loss by fire of the old mining plant, Jodela Gold Mines, Limited,
installed a new mining plant and replaced the former headframe by a much larger structure.
Evidence of the tremendous growth of Porcupine over recent years is indicated by labour statis-
tics. The increase of employment in the mines in 1940 was 6-7 per cent over the comparable
figures for 1939. The increase over the number employed in 1935 is over 60 per cent. The in-
crease in tonnage milled in 1940 over that of 1935 was 51 per cent.
Gold Mines of Matachewan and West Shiningtree Areas.—In the Elk Lake, Gowganda,
Tyrrell Section, the main shaft at ‘Tyranite Mines, Limited was sunk 310 feet to the 853-foot
horizon and levels were established at 675 and 825 feet. Additions were made to the mill and
compressor house. Average mill tonnage was 218 tons per day. The No. 2 shaft (winze) at
Young-Davidson was sunk 206 feet to the 1,109-foot horizon and a level was established at
1,063-foot horizon. The main shaft was deepened 135 feet and the fifth level established at the
1,060-foot horizon. The mill treated an average of 1,014 tons per day. A tunnel was driven to
divert Davidson Creek. Matachewan Consolidated treated an average of 497 tons per day in
its mill. Some cross cutting was done on the 215-foot level of the Arbade Gold Mines, Limited
which was in operation from January 1 to April 26.
Gold Mines of Sudbury and Nipissing Districts.—The mine and the mill of New Golden
Rose were operated throughout the year. Stoping was principally confined to the 4th level. A
2-compartment winze was sunk from the 5th level to an inclined depth of 398 feet, and stations
were cut for the 6th and 7th levels at vertical intervals of 125 feet. Development work at the
Jerome Gold Mine was carried on throughout the year on the 200, 350 and 500-foot levels. Pre-
parations were made for the construction of a 500-ton mill during 1941.
Gold Mines of Algoma District.—At the Cline Lake Gold mine shrinkage stopes were
mined on the 125, 250, 400 and 500-foot levels. The shaft was sunk 675 feet to a total depth
of 1,196 feet and levels were established at 725, 875, 1,025 and 1,175 feet. Development work
was carried on at the Maginot Gold Mines (Algoma Summit) from January until June. All
work was done on the 2nd level. The mill was not operating.
Thunder Bay District.—Tombill Gold Mines, Limited continued to produce at the rate
of 100 tons daily during the year. An exploration drift was being driven to the north of the
main drift on the Ist level. Towards the end of the year MacLeod-Cockshutt continued to produce
at the rate of roughly 670 tons daily from which 150 tons of concentrates were sent to the roasting
plant. Erection of the plant was begun late in 1939 and the first roasting unit capable of handling
50 tons daily went into service in the middle of February. A second and similar unit was inaugur-
ated in March and a third on June 15th. The mining method employed at MacLeod-Cockshutt
is horizontal cut-and-fill and the bulk of the ore has been obtained from the north ore body.
Exploration by diamond-drilling and drifting on the 5th level to explore the south ore zone was
very fruitful and drifting west on the 8rd and 5th levels towards the old No. 1 shaft met with
an unusual success. This particular ore can be treated directly by cyanide without roasting.
At the end of the year both No. 1 and No. 2 shafts were being deepened. Magnet Consolidated
Gold Mines, Limited added a cyanide unit to the flotation-amalgamation mill which went into
operation on July 2. A secondary crushing plant was also added. Shaft sinking below the 780-
foot horizon commenced in December, 1939 was completed to 1,115 feet by March 1, 1940, with
two new levels developed at 930 and 1,010 feet. Little Long Lac Gold Mines, Limited, increased
their daily production from 300 tons at the end of 1939 to 315 tons in 1940. Mining was carried
on in 13 stopes. It was proposed to sink a winze to mine the west ore below the 2,200-foot level.
The winze is located some 1,500 feet west of the main shaft. Mining an old ore section in the
south vein, considered to be too low-grade to be worked at a profit, was resumed on the 200-foot
level. Jellicoe Mines (1939) Limited, operated part of the year to recover the remainder of a
small high-grade ore body, the profits being used to carry out additional exploration by diamond-
drilling and lateral development. There was little success in this endeavour and all work was
definitely suspended on August 9. The ore was treated by the Magnet and latterly by the Bank-
field mill. A new hoist was installed during June to service the No. 2 shaft at Hard Rock Gold
Mines. This property was treating 350 tous of sorted ore daily at the end of the year. The
roasting plant handles 80 tons of concentrates per day. Development work was carried on out-
side the north ore zone which has supplied the bulk of the ore to date. The No. 2 winze located
some 1,100 feet northwest of No. 2 shaft was sunk below the 475 level and was completed by the
end of September. New levels were established at the 625 and 775 horizons. Bankfield Con-
solidated Mines, Limited increased its tonnage from 100 to 120 tons up to May and again to
135 tons by the end of the year. Mining was carried on by shrinkage methods on one stope on
the 1,025-foot level and one on the 150-foot level. The surface pillar of 1,010-foot stope was
removed. Operations on all other levels were confined to drawing off broken muck. The winze
was deepened early in the year below the 1,025-foot level to 1,275 feet to open up new levels at
1,150 and 1,275 feet and drifting towards the Tombill boundary followed in the hope that the
extension of the Tombill structure would make ore on the Bankfield property. This was not
successful. In the Beardmore and Sturgeon areas of the Thunder Bay District, Leitch Gold
Mines, Limited treated an average of 85 tons of ore daily. In July sinking below the 1,025-foot
level was inaugurated with an objective of 1,650 feet. The sinking was completed in December.
The shaft at the Northern Empire Mines Company, Limited was deepened from April 16 to
the end of the year. Ore was obtained by resuming cut-and-fill methods. Other development at
this property consisted of a drift on the 1,700-foot level which is being driven under contract for
the Spooner Gold Mines. It was planned to do some 2,000 feet of lateral work at this latter
property. Northern Empire treated an average of 185 tons daily. Development was carried
out to the east of the shaft on the property of Sand River Gold Mining Company Limited. A
narrow length of ore was found and was reported to be better than -61 ounces. Subsequently
the same ore which had been found on the 1,150-foot level was looked for on the 900-foot level.
This ore is somewhat of especial importance as all ore mined to date was found west of the shaft
below the 650-foot level. Leitch Gold Mine was in charge of surface exploration at the Halport
Gold Mines, Limited property. From 8 to 10 men worked between March and September and
5,000 feet of diamond-drilling was completed. Three new levels were established at Sturgeon
River Gold Mines, Limited after the shaft had been deepened to 1,775 feet. The mine operated
continuously during the year and treated an average of 75 tons of ore daily. In the Sturgeon
and Savant Lake Areas, St. Anthony Gold Mines produced throughout the year at an increased
rate of 170 tons daily. The shortage of power was relieved somewhat by the installation of a
new Diesel power unit in December, 1939. A 2-compartment vertical winze was completed to
262 feet by March 20. Two new levels were established at 875 and 1,000 feet. Mining was
carried on at the north end of old stopes on all levels above the 750, and these consisted of salvage
operations. Wide interest was aroused over a new gold discovery in Poisson and Jutten Town-
ships in the Savant Lake area on the west side of Savant Lake which is about 20 miles north of
the Canadian National station, Savant Lake. Gold was reported in sediments late in September
by prospectors of the Northern Canada Mines, Limited. The greenstones of this area had received
some attention years before, but nothing of note had ever been discovered. Many prominent
companies were soon in this field. About 400 claims were staked and recorded but in 1940 little
thorough prospecting was done. There is no known main break but the general strike is east of
north. A number of small free gold showings have been found on the stakings along the west
shore of the south half of Savant Lake.
Gold Mines of Patricia Portion of Kenora District.—Efforts to locate new ore at
Sachigo River failed in 1940. The mill treated an average of 45 tons of sorted ore daily. The
shaft was completed to 840 feet by January and again deepened to 1,130 feet with levels estab-
lished at 800, 950 and 1,100 feet. Development followed on the new levels with little success
and plans were to mine and mill the remaining ore and close the property. It was shown earlier
that work on the 800-foot level indicated the ore to be cut between the 650 and 800-foot levels.
Berens River Mines, Limited, in the Favourable Lake Area, treated an average of 225 tons of
ore daily which was obtained from shrinkage stopes on all levels down to the 500-foot horizon.
Ore-passes and a loading pocket below the 375-foot level are used to handle ore from levels
above. The shaft was deepened below the 500-foot level to 972 feet and three new levels were
established. A loading pocket was installed below the 800-foot level and development on an ore
pass system to handle ore below the 375-foot level was in progress. Workmen’s and staff houses
were built during the year as well as an 8-apartment house and a residence for the manager.
Less than one year after the mill was completed Cochenour-Willans Gold Mines, Limited, in
the Red Lake Area, paid an initial dividend. The mill treated an average of 150 tons of ore
obtained from open stopes on all three levels. Flotation units have been added to the mill to
treat the tailings from which three to four tons of concentrates are obtained each day. These are
then shipped to the smelter during the summer. The concentrates have a value of about $8,000
per month. Operations at the Gold Eagle property were continuous throughout the year. Ore
was obtained from the removal of the 125-foot level floor and from new stopes to the east of the
old workings as well as from old pillars left in worked-out stopes. Exploration by diamond-
drilling and lateral work with the view to picking up Gold Eagle or McKenzie shearings at 850
and 1,000 feet, met with little success. The new levels had been opened after the winze had
been deepened to 1,036 feet. In September, 1840, Gold Frontier Mines, Limited, successor to
Frontier Red Lake Gold Mines, Limited, sent a crew of men to dewater the mine which is located
one mile east of Pipestone Bay at the west end of Red Lake. It was expected that some develop-
ment work would be carried on at the two levels which had been worked in 1936. Hasaga Gold
Mines, after having pushed development on new levels, was milling at the rate of 350 tons of
ore by November. Development work at the new No. 2 operation, also known as the Starratt-
Olsen property, was continued until March 31st when operations ceased. The mine was idle at
the end of the year. Howey Gold Mines, Limited, treated 1,250 tons of sorted ore daily from
1,500 tons of hoisted ore. This came chiefly from the stopes on the 1,350-foot level. Removal of
the surface pillar was completed and the only other mining centered around a new ore section
east of the old workings between the 1,315 and 1,000-foot level. By the end of 1940 all ore had
been mined from the 200-foot level to the surface at Madsen Red Lake Gold Mines, Limited.
Shaft sinking was completed below the 500-foot level on January 29, following which new levels
were established at 650 and 800-foot horizons. Sinking was again resumed in August with a
proposed depth of 1,305 feet. At the end of the year a new hoist and headframe were being
installed. McKenzie Red Lake Gold Mines, Limited, continued production throughout the year
at a daily average tonnage of slightly more than 200 tons. Mining was carried on by open stope
methods on all levels between 450 and 750 feet. McKenzie also directed and financed McMarmac
Gold Mines, Ltd., to production in 1940. Exploration by diamond-drilling and development at
the McKenzie property resulted in the outlining of ore on all levels up to the 450-foot level.
The deepest work was done on the 1,050-foot level. New possibilities for the property were also
indicated by discovery of néw ore about 1,000 feet north and east of the shaft on the 650, 850
and 1,050-foot levels. Following the deepening of the shaft to 325 feet, McMarmac Red Lake
Gold Mines, Limited, established a new level at 300 feet by the end of 1939. Development was
carried on on both the 160 and 300-foot levels and by September sufficient ore had been indicated
to warrant the installation of a 75-ton mill. The shaft was deepened further to establish a new
level at 450 feet during mill erection and installation of equipment. The mill went into production
in October and the flow-sheet includes flotation, amalgamation and cyanidation. In the Uchi
Lake area, Uchi Gold Mines added flotation and re-grind units as well as a sorting plant to the
mill. Mining was carried on by shrinkage stoping on all levels down to the 600-foot level. Shaft
sinking below the 600-foot level at the No. 2 shaft was completed to 1,170 feet. During the third
week in August, the capitalization was increased from 3 to 5 million shares in order to take over
and operate adjoining Hammell, Hanalda and Jalda properties whereby the tonnage could be
increased to 1,000 tons daily. Development was carried on at the Hanalda and Jalda properties.
Following the merger with Uchi Gold Mines, Limited, Hanalda and Jalda workings were de-
watered starting September 30 and the mines prepared for production. By the year-end, the
Hanalda was shipping 100 tons to the Uchi mill by trucks. Uchi also obtained an option on the
Grassett property operated by Consolidated Mining & Smelting some years ago. Uchi dewatered
the shaft at this property and installed a new shaft collar. The Hanalda is known as Uchi No. 3
operation, the Jalda, No. 4, and the Grassett, No. 5. In the Woman Lake area, J. M. Consolidated
Gold Mines, Limited, operated their mill at 100 tons daily until the end of February when ore
reserves were exhausted. Exploration by diamond drilling followed on the 600-foot level with
little success. All work was definitely suspended on April 24. In the Birch Lake area, Jason
Mines, Limited, successor to Argosy, renovated the old mill and commenced operations on
June 16. The first brick was poured on July 13. Hydro power from the Ear Falls-Uchi line was
delivered to the property early in April. No. 1 shaft was deepened from 404 feet to 530 feet and
a fourth level opened at 510 feet. June saw the start of dewatering at the No. 2 or Argosy work-
ings. Some 125 tons of ore are milled daily, of which 70 tons are obtained from the stopes on the
2nd and 3rd levels of No. 1 shaft and trucked to the mill. The balance is obtained from No. 2
shaft stopes on the 2nd and 38rd levels.
Pickle Crow Area.—In the Pickle Crow Area, work at the Albany River propert was
concentrated on the 625-foot level and consisted of exploration by diamond-drilling and drifting
to the west towards the east drive of the Pickle Crow Gold Mines’ 750-foot level. Production
at the Central Patricia Gold Mine came chiefly from the levels between the 750 and 1,450-foot
horizons. The mill treated an average of 325 tons of sorted ore daily. An extension was made
to the mill to provide for additional equipment and ore storage to increase the tonnage to 400
tons. The Springer or No. 2 operation, continued to truck ore to the mill at the rate of 30 tons
per day until the end of May when all work was suspended and the mine allowed to flood. Another
all steel headframe was erected at Pickle Crow Gold Mines, Limited, and the mill treated ore at
the rate of 325 tons daily. Exploration to the east on the 750-foot level continued and by the
end of the year considerable new high-grade ore was exposed. In September, shaft sinking was
resumed below the 1,950-foot horizon with an ultimate objective of 3,000 feet.
Gold Mines of Kenora District.—Kenricia Gold Mines, Limited, produced at the rate of
100 tons daily until May 31 when operations ceased. The milling equipment was removed and
the mill building dismantled and shipped to the Hoyle Gold Mine in Porcupine. The compressors
and hoist were sent to Little Long Lac. During March and April, Kenricia did some customs
milling for the Sunbeam Kirkland Gold Mines. Kenwest Gold Mines, Limited, was formed to
operate the Big Master Consolidated Gold Mines property for Selby Lake Gold Mines who had
an option on the Big Master. On July 23 shareholders of the Big Master company agreed to
surrender their charter and transfer their assets to the new company. Owing to low water, it
was necessary to build a new road 9 miles in length to connect with Wabigoon Lake to get sup-
plies to the property. Slashing got under way in October and was completed to the 350-foot
level after which sinking was started. Kenopo Mining and Milling Company Limited, operated
spasmodically during the year and treated small lots of ore received from high-grading operations
around Kenora. The ore came from the following properties: Eldiver, near Black Sturgeon Lake;
White, near Hilly Lake six miles east of Kenora; Silverman (Breakneck Mine) eight miles east
of Kenora; and C. Alcock claims at High Lake, six miles south of the Trans-Canada Highway
near the Manitoba boundary. Goldwood Gold Mines isthe latest name for the Horseshoe or Ken-
land property at Regina Bay, fifty miles south of Kenora. Kenland sold the property to Gold-
wood Gold Mines for a stock consideration. On November 29, a lease was given to J. D. Shannon
who checked samples on the Ist, 2nd and 3rd levels. No other work was in progress at the year
end. Surface work was done at the White property and at the Silverman property by LaRae
Exploration Company, Limited. Eldiver property was worked for the last time in 1893 when
operations were suspended as a result of a fire. A shaft was reported to have been sunk to a depth
of 108 feet on a quartz vein at that time. In July, 1940, the shaft was dewatered and sampled
after which more work was done for Pioneer Gold interests. Some 60 tons of ore were shipped
to the Kenopo mill. Mining was suspended at Straw Lake Beach Gold Mines, Limited, Sep-
tember 16, 1939, and the mill was shut down, but early in 1940 the shaft with levels at 100, 300
and 425-foot depths was deepened from 425 to 600 feet and levels established at 465 and 575-foot
depths. Sinking was resumed and the 700-foot level was opened. Milling was resumed on Sep-
tember 17 at about 60 tons daily. Wendigo Gold Mines, Limited, paid its first dividend on
December Ist after having produced throughout the year just over 100 tons of ore per day. At
the end of the year a winze below the 1,100-foot level was being considered.
Gold Mines of Rainy River District.—During 1940 two former gold operations were
reopened, one of which, the Upper Seine Gold Mine, went into production again while the second,
the Orelia Gold Mines, Limited, working in conjunction with the lower Seine Mining Company,
Limited, and Minerals Milling, Limited, just failed to make it.
Manitoba Gold Industry, 1940
(Geo. E. Cole, Director of Mines)
The production of gold in Manitoba during 1940 totalled 152,375 ounces as compared with
180,875 ounces for 1939, the decrease being accounted for by operations being discontinued at
the Gurney and Laguna mines towards the end of 1939.
Gold was produced at eight gold-quartz properties and was also obtained in the treatment
of base metal ores of the Flin Flon and Sherritt Gordon mines.
An important development at God’s Lake was the commencement of the new No. 2 shaft
located 6,000 feet west of the original No. 1 shaft. The decision to sink the new shaft was based
on encouraging diamond drilling results. The tuff bed in which the vein system was encountered
was at 860 feet instead of 1,100 feet as had been previously expected. Sinking operations were
begun in June and the objective of 1,850 feet is expected to be reached in June, 1941. At the
end of the year the shaft had passed the half-way mark.
San Antonio carried out the heaviest development campaign of its history during 1940.
Early in the year a three-compartment winze was sunk 912 feet below the 10th level, opening
up six new levels. In November it was decided to increase the mill capacity from 330 to 550
tons a day, following the disclosure of ore of major importance at depth. Construction will be
undertaken some time in April, 1941 and the mill will probably be operating at its new capacity
by early fall. During 1940, 36,745 ounces of gold were produced and ore reserves were very
‘substantially increased.
Gunnar mine set a new record with a production of $666,872 from 51,992 tons compared
with $662,010 from 49,036 tons in 1939. Plans are being made to deepen the shaft and open up
two new levels at 1,875 feet and 2,000 feet. .
Payment of dividends was continued by San Antonio, Gunnar and God’s Lake during 1940,
¢
In common with other provinces, there was a marked falling off of prospecting in Manitoba
during 1940. In the southwestern part of the province some interest was shown in bog man-
ganese deposits of recent origin, associated with shales of Cretaceous age. No large deposits of
economic importance have as yet been discovered. In the Precambrian areas prospecting for
gold and base metals continued in many widespread localities. Claims staked the previous year
in the Last Hope Lake area were actively prospected by mining companies. Geological work
was continued by the Dominion and the Provincial Governments during the year.
Owing to the difficulty of putting prospectors in the field and the opportunity for better
employment of young men in industry, the Youth Training Scheme for training prospectors,
which had been initiated successfully the previous year, was temporarily discontinued.
Saskatchewan Gold Mining Industry, 1940
(E. Swain, Supervisor of Mines)
In almost a decade gold mining in Saskatchewan has risen from nil to 103,751 ounces. The
year marks the first time that gold production has exceeded 100,000 ounces. The advance in
production represents an increase of 34-5 per cent over 1939 which was our last highest output.
This increase is attributable to several factors, namely, one complete continuous year of operation
of the “Box Mine” at. Goldfields, which came into production about July 1, 1939; increased ore
tonnage at the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Limited mine at Flin Flon, which is due
to the foresight of the management in improving the mine, mill and smelter as well as increasing
the output of electrical energy; also the gold content of ore now being recovered is a little higher.
Present values are expected to be recovered for some time to come. These are the principal
factors contributing to the increase but other factors are the opening up of a prospect mine at
Bootleg Lake by Henning Maloney Gold Mines Limited. This lake is some four miles south-
west of Flin Flon; also the re-opening of the prospect mine on the west shore of Amisk Lake,
formerly known as Monarch Gold Miners Syndicate Limited, by Pamon Gold Mines Limited.
If satisfactory reserves of ore are ascertained, these companies will seriously consider putting in
small mills. At the moment the ore recovered by both of these companies is being treated at the
plant of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Limited, Flin Flon.
Placer gold output advanced a few ounces and has but little bearing on the total output.
This gold is recovered from benches and bars in the North Saskatchewan River, when conditions
are convenient to work such bars which move from point to point according to the vagaries of
the stream.
The following prospect mines were idle:

Flin Flon Gold Mines Limited at Douglas Lake.
Athona Mines (1937) Limited at Goldfields.
A considerable amount of geophysical prospecting and geological work was undertaken in

the Sulphide Lake area some six miles north of Lac la Ronge, the results of which are not definitely
known. One individual, however, has signified his intention of working his most promising dis-
covery, with a view to shipping out high-grade gold ore for treatment during 1941.
The mining road from Prince Albert to Lac la Ronge remains uncompleted but it is hoped
that the road will be continued in the immediate future. Upon completion the terminal of Lac
la Ronge would provide an ideal point from which to prospect the country, some of which is
thought to hold promise for discovery of useful metallics.
British Columbia Gold Mining Industry, 1940
(Philip B. Freeland, Chief Mining Engineer, British Columbia Department of Mines)
In the Atlin Mining Division, the Polaris-Taku Mining Company, Tulsequah River, con-
tinued operations and a total of 80,364 tons of ore was treated, and the concentrates shipped to
Tacoma smelter.
531387—5
The Portland Canal Mining Division in 1940 contributed a total of 384,000 tons. The Big
Missouri Mill treated 212,112 tons; the Silbak-Premier 171,504 tons. Lessees were active at
the Dunwell property, and small shipments from several other properties were made.
The Surf Inlet Consolidated Gold Mines Ltd. continued operations all year, and 39,437 tons
were treated and concentrates shipped to Tacoma smelter. .
The small property operated previously by the McDames Lake Mining Co. in the Stikine
area, was closed during 1940.
In the Omineca Mining Division, a number of properties were worked by individuals, and
some under development by companies under option. Most of the shippers sent small tonnages
to the government sampling plant at Prince Rupert, and in turn the latter sent resulting products
to the Tacoma smelter. Among the properties shipping were the Black Bull, D & N Group,
Dome Mt., Duthie, Golden Eagle, Hazelton View, Hunter Basin, Hyland Basin and the Coronado.
The total tonnage recorded as treated was 293 tons.
In the Kamloops area the Windpass was again worked by lessees. The Consolidated Nicola
Goldfields Ltd. operated all the year and concentrates produced were shipped to Trail smelter
In the Vernon area the Kalamalka, Jumbo, and Monashee were operated intermittently. The
main producers in the Osoyoos Division again were the Hedley Mascot, Nickel Plate (Kelowna
Exploration Co.), Osoyoos Mines of Canada Ltd. and the Morning Star.
Other shippers were the Grandoro, King, Black Diamond, Gold Standard, Koh-i-Noor,
Lucky Strike, Queen Mary, Silver King, Silver Moon, Silver Ring, Summit, Grandview and
Twin Lakes. ;
Greenwood Mining Division again had numerous properties in the shipping list, and’ the
main ones were the Union, Yankee Boy, Dentonia, Providence, No. 7, Granby (Phoenix), Carmi,
Brooklyn-Stemwinder and the Amandy.
The Copper Mountain mine operated by the Granby Mining, Smelting & Power Co. Ltd.
continued throughout the year, and the Grasshopper also was a producer in the Similkameen area.
The High Surprise was the main producer in the Ainsworth Division. The Lardeau division
had the Meridian, True Fissure and the Winslow as shippers.
In the Nelson area the main producers were the Arlington (Oscarson), Bayonne, Gold Belt,
Kootenay Belle, Relief Arlington, Reno, Sheep Creek, Ymir, Yankee Girl, Ymir Con. and lessees
thereof. The Alpine, Nugget Motherlode, California, Granite-Poorman, Spokane, Venango,
Venus-Juno, Clubine-Comstock, Harriet and Wilcox also produced a substantial amount in the
aggregate.
In the Trail division, the Midnight mine, Juno, I.X.L. and Velvet combined with lessees of
Rossland properties to make the total.
The Vidette and the Grange Consolidated mine were the only two producers in the Clinton
Division.
The W.W.W. mine owned by K. J. Robinson, the Thistle worked by lessees, and the Hes-
quiat combined to make the total from the Alberni Division on Vancouver Island.
The Clayoquot division again was one of the main producing areas, through the activity
continuing in Zeballos camp. The shipping list included Central Zeballos (controlled by Reno
Gold Mines Ltd.), Mount Zeballos, Privateer, Spud Valley, White Star, C. D. (formerly Rey —
Oro), and several smaller shippers.
The division will no doubt see several new shippers in 1941, the Muskateer, Buccaneer and
Homeward reaching the stage when shipments may soon be commenced.
In the Lillooet division, the Bralorne again was the leading gold producer of the province
and during the year milled 191,412 tons of ore. The Pioneer milled 77,585 tons. The Minto was
operated by Messrs. Evans & Davidson on a lease from the Minto Gold Mines, Ltd.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA_ 67
In the Nanaimo division several properties contributed to the total of 2,339 tons treated.
The New Westminster division with which is now included the former Yale division, con-
tributed a small tonnage of gold ore to the Provincial total, from the Dawson and the Aufeas.
Britannia was the main contributor of gold in the Vancouver division; the Jagee and Silta
which was operated by R. C. McCorkell.
Gold Mining in Northwest Territories, 1940
(C. 8. Lord, Geological Survey, Department of Mines & Resources)

All gold produced in Northwest Territories in 1940 came from Yellowknife Bay on Great
Slave Lake. Nearly all of it came from Con, Rycon and Negus mines, and the amount produced
was substantially greater than in 1939. A 4,300 horsepower hydro-electric plant was completed
on Prosperous Lake for Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, and
power delivered to Con mine over a 22-mile transmission line in January, 1941. Part of the
surplus power available at this plant is expected to replace diesel power at the Negus, Ptarmigan,
and Thompson-Lundmark properties. Most prospecting was done between Hidden and Des-
peration Lakes in the Beaulieu River area, and near Slemon Lake in the Snare River area. Pros-
pecting activity was comparable to that of 1939 and it is estimated that 30 parties were in the
field during the summer. Several gold deposits were found, mainly in the Beaulieu River area.
A Mining Recorder’s office was opened at Yellowknife.
Yellowknife Bay.—Con and Rycon mines are operated from a common plant by Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited. Ore reserves at Con mine were
increased to 130,460 tons of probable ore containing 0-61 ounces of gold a ton, and 175,000 tons
of indicated ore containing 0-37 ounces of gold a ton. No. 1 shaft was deepened from 541 feet
to 1,011 feet and levels established at depths of 650, 800 and 950 feet. About 5,600 feet of lateral
work was done in the mines during the year, mostly on the 375- and 500-foot levels. The capacity
of the Con mill was increased to 175 tons a day. Most ore treated to date has come from Con
mine above the 375-foot level. Much new ore is reported to have been located on the 500-foot
level of the mine during 1940. It is reported to occur in bodies that are wider and of lower grade
than the mine average, and may require special treatment. Ore from Rycon mine, 2,200 feet
east of Con mine, was treated at the Con mill.
Negus mine increased its ore reserves to 21,710 tons as of July 31, 1940 and mill-heads
during 1940 contained about one ounce of gold a ton. No. 2 shaft was deepened from 3828 feet
to 452 feet and a level opened at a depth of 425 feet where high-grade ore was found. Lateral
work on the 200, 300, and 425-foot levels amounted to about 3,200 feet. Most of it was done
on the 300-foot level where exploratory drift was driven south to explore a group of promising
veins that outcrop about 1,400 feet south-southeast of No. 2 shaft. A transmission line was
constructed between Negus and Con mines and it is expected that the diesel power will be com-
pletely replaced by hydro-electric power during 1941. Negus mine is the first mine in Northwest
Territories to pay dividends and the initial payments were made in April, 1941.
Ptarmigan Mines, Limited, controlled by Consolidated Mining and Smelting Ceampany of

Canada, Limited, continued work on a single wide quartz vein. The shaft was deepened to 702
feet and a level opened at a depth of 600 feet. Lateral work to date totals more than 3,000 feet
and most lateral work during 1940 was done on the 300-, 450-, and 600-foot levels. Ore reserves
are not reported but are said to be substantial. A transmission line was built from the mine to
the power line from Prosperous Lake to Con mine.
Giant Yellowknife Gold Mines, Limited, did a little diamond drilling and shipped about 51
tons of high-grade gold ore to Trail, B.C., but was idle much of the year. The Company was
reported in March, 1941 to have purchased a 25-ton mill.
Beaulieu River Area.—Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited,

directed operations at the property of Thompson-Lundmark Gold Mines, Limited, after August
31, 1940. All work was done from No. 2 shaft, which was started in 1939 at an incline of about
53137—5}
47 degrees to explore the Fraser Vein. During 1940 the shaft was deepened from 301 feet to 834
feet and levels established 450, 600 and 750 feet (slope distance) from the collar. About 1,800
feet of lateral work was completed, mostly on the 150-, 300- and 450-foot levels. A 150-ton
mill for the property was shipped to Yellowknife from the Cordova mine in Ontario. Late in
the year work was started on a 35-mile transmission line to the Prosperous Lake power station.
Great Slave Lake.—Operations were resumed in September at the property of Slave Lake
Gold Mines, Limited, on Outpost Islands. The two-compartment vertical shaft is 450 feet deep
with levels at 50, 125, 200, 325 and 400 feet and lateral work totals about 1,600 feet. Diesel
power was installed, a 50-ton mill erected, and the first gold was produced in February, 1941.
Most of the gold is recovered by amalgamation and additions to the mill are planned which are
expected to recover concentrates containing gold, tungsten and copper. Previous ore reserves
of 17,308 tons containing 0-5 ounces of gold a ton, and an unknown amount of tungsten and
copper, are said to have been greatly increased.
Snare River Area.—About 2,500 feet of diamond drilling and some surface work was done
during the summer by Canbrae Exploration Company, Limited on the Au group about 2 miles
north of Slemon Lake.
Wray Lake Area.—Mercury Gold Mines, Limited, was incorporated to explores trong gold-
quartz veins on the Dingo group near Emile River about 120 miles north of Rae. A little surface
work was done during the summer. Winter camps were erected and exploration continued during
the winter of 1940-41. A steam mining plant for the property reached Rae before freeze-up.
Gold Mining in Yukon, 1940
Twenty-nine quartz grants (lode mining) were issued in the Dawson District during the
fiscal year ending March 31st, 1941, and one hundred and sixteen claims were renewed. This
is one-half the number held in good standing during the previous year. Activity was confined to
representation work.
A total expenditure of $5,798.28 was made to maintain and improve existing aircraft landing
fields. The most important fields, namely, at Dawson, Whitehorse, Mayo and Carcross were
extended and improved, and work was also done on the secondary fields at Carmocks and Flat
Creek. In addition to the above, the White Pass and Yukon Route constructed, at their own
expense, emergency landing fields at Fox Lake, Little Salmon, Yukon Crossing and Grand Valley.
On May 22nd, 1941, the Bureau of Statistics was advised that the Mount Free Gold Mine
had been closed down for nearly twelve months and would not be reopened by T. C. Richards.
Concentrates containing a relatively small quantity of gold were shipped in 1940 from this prop-
erty to a smelter in the United States.

Norse.—The data contained in the foregoing table have been compiled from reports received from both producing and
non-producing (exploring and developing) operators in the auriferous quartz mining industry. This fact should be noted if
the information is to be construed or employed as possible criteria for technological or other statistical study. The trends
revealed are not to be interpreted as entirely reflecting ‘‘cause and effect’’ in the operation of producing mines only but rather
as indices of change in the industry asa whole. For data relating to producers only, see following table. ay

THE COPPER-GOLD-SILVER MINING INDUSTRY
The mining of ‘‘copper-gold-silver” ores in Canada during 1940 was confined to the provinces
of Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. It is to be noted that in addition
to the copper recovered from ores of this type there is a very large and increasing quantity of
the metal obtained in the smelting and refining of the copper-nickel ores mined in the Sudbury
area of Ontario; increasing quantities of gold and silver are also being extracted from these copper-
nickel ores.
Mining operations conducted on Canadian copper-gold-silver deposits during 1940 were
reported by 25 firms compared with 28 in 1939. The gross value of crude ore, concentrates, etc.,
shipped in 1940 from the mines and mills to smelters was estimated at $51,174,776; the cost of
fuel, purchased electricity, process supplies, freight and smelter treatment totalled $25,370,357
and the net value of shipments was estimated at $25,804,419.
During the year under review the industry provided employment for 6,115 persons and dis-
tributed $10,777,827 in salaries and wages.
The statistics as herein shown under the copper-gold-silver mining industry refer only ‘to
mines and mills and are not inclusive of data pertaining to the operation of smelters and refineries.
Statistics relating to the reduction of non-ferrous ores are recorded under the non-ferrous smelting
and refining industry. .
Quebec.—Noranda Mines Ltd. reported that in 1940 a total of 9,313 feet of drifting, 6,844
feet of raising and 84,443 feet of exploratory diamond drilling was done at the Horne mine. The
use of diamond drills instead of percussion rock drills for drilling holes used in blasting down ore
in stopes has gradually increased until now over one-half of the ore broken at the Horne mine
is mined by this method.
A large body of rhyolite-breccia, in which occurs numerous large and small lenses of massive
pyrite, has been found to extend from the 1,500 foot level to a depth of at least 1,000 feet below
the 3,975 foot level.
Waite Amulet Mines Ltd. completed 119,460 feet of diamond drill stope holes in the Amulet
section and at the end of 1940 the tonnage drilled and ready for blasting was 360,000 tons. The
ore reserve estimate of December 31, 1940 was as follows: Amulet (other than lower ‘‘A”’ ore-
body) 270,000 tons averaging copper, 2-7 per cent; zinc, 10 per cent; gold, -05 ounces per ton
and silver 2:5 ounces per ton. Lower ‘A”’ orebody 3,260,000 tons; copper, 6-3 per cent; zine 5-1
per cent; gold -05 ounces per ton and silver 1-6 ounces per ton. It was expected that production
of zinc concentrates would commence in April, 1941. Ore reserves in the Amulet section as of
December 31, 1940 were estimated as follows: Copper ore, 312,000 tons; copper, 3-4 per cent;
gold, -03 ounces per ton, and silver, -3 ounces per ton; zine ore, 300,000 tons zine 11-52 per
cent.
Normetal Mining Corp. Ltd. confined stoping operations in 1940 to No. 1 and 2 orebodies.
Of the total ore broken about 46-5 per cent was in cut-and-fill stopes, 34-9 per cent in shrinkage
rs
stopes, and 18-6 per cent in development. Copper concentrates were shipped throughout the
year to Noranda Smelter. Of the resultant copper, approximately 80 per cent was sold, under
contract, to the British Ministry of Supply and the balance for domestic consumption. Zine
concentrates stock piled, as well as current production, were shipped to a smelter in the United
States.
The mine and mill of the Aldermac Copper Corporation Limited, located in Beauchastel
Township, were in operation throughout the year. Ore raised in 1940 totalled 353,072 tons and
the quantity milled amounted to 353,652 tons. Copper concentrates were shipped chiefly to the
Noranda smelter while the iron pyrites output went to various plants located in Canada and the
United States.
Manitoba.—Sherritt Gordon Mines Ltd. brought its East mine into production in May
and continued in production until the end of November. Operations in the West mine continued
throughout the year on the basis of a six day week. Approximately 73 per cent of all underground
development work and 83 per. cent of the underground diamond drilling was done in the West
mine. Costs and development work in 1940 about equalled those of 1939, and although tons
milled during 1940 were practically the same as in 1939, ore reserves as at December 31, 1940
are substantially equal to those of December 31, 1939. The net operating cost in 1940 was re-
ported at $2-032 per ton milled or 4-128 cents per pound of copper; the net cost of electrolytic
copper, f.o.b. refinery, was recorded at 7-226 cents per pound.
The Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Limited reported that approximately 86 per
cent of the ore milled at the Flin Flon mine during 1940 was derived from underground mining
operations and 14 per cent from the open pit. Production of gold, silver, copper and zinc from
Flin Flon materials was the highest for any year in the history of the Company. The tonnage of
ore treated in the concentrator was gradually increased during the year 1940. The average per-
centages of recovery of gold, silver and copper in copper concentrates were each the highest on
record. The percentage of recovery of the zinc in the zine concentrates was somewhat lower
than in 1939. There was a slightly lower tonnage of zine concentrates treated in the zine plant
but due to a somewhat greater zine content and a better recovery in the zinc plant itself, the
slab zine production was higher than in any previous year. The additions to the zine plant in
1940 included two new roasters, two additional thickeners, more purification equipment and
solution storage tanks in the zine leaching plant; the installation of the fifth electrolytic tank
circuit and the completion of a new fifty-ton melting furnace in the casting plant. The cadmium
plant operated continuously throughout the year and copper smelting operations were satis-
factory. Another record tonnage of pay charge etHudson Bay materials and custom concentrates
was treated in the smelter.
British Columbia.—The Howe Sound Company reported that the Britannia property
operated continuously in 1940. Due to war effort and the movement of men into other industries,
a shortage of skilled labour developed and on November 1 it became necessary to decrease the
scale of operations in order to divert sufficient personnel to carry on essential exploratory work.
This work was largely concentrated between the 2,700- and 4,100-foot levels, although some
diamond drilling gave information at greater depths. The mineralized zone on the horizon of
the 4,100-foot level was outlined above the tunnel and partially developed by driling to a depth
of over 300 feet below it. This work has proved the existence of a commercial orebody of im-
portance and further exploration of the area will be continued in 1941. The result of the explor-
atory work has been encouraging.
The “‘Miner’’, Vancouver, reports that development at the Copper Mountain mine of the
Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. Ltd. during 1940 consisted of 9,376 feet of
drifting and crosscutting, 15,847 feet of raising and 37,504 feet of diamond drilling. A total of
3,748,447 tons of ore were added to the reserves during the year. Ore shipments during the year
amounted to 1,650,486 tons; this leaves a net addition to the reserves of shipping ore of 2,097,961
tons after making provision for losses resulting from non-recoverable pillars and possible excessive
dilution. At the Allenby Concentrator, the enlargement programme, undertaken early in the
year, was completed about the end of September. An appreciable improvement was made in the
recovery of gold and silver, but a slight decrease in the recovery of copper occurred during the year.

in the production of blister or anode copper; also the Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary passes through the Flin Flon mine.
CHAPTER ITI
‘THE SILVER MINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA

(a) The Silver-Cobalt Mining Industry; (b) the Silver-Lead-Zine Mining Industry. |
Definition of the Industry.—Silver Mining in Canada is not a distinct mining industry in

as much as silver or silver-bearing minerals usually occur in association with other metals of
economic value—with lead and zinc; with cobalt, nickel and arsenic; with lode and placer free
gold; in copper-gold and nickel-copper ores, and at Great Bear Lake, Northwest Territories with
uranium and radium. Silver-lead-zinc mining is a very important industry in British Columbia
and, to a lesser extent, in the Yukon Territory. In Eastern Canada, ores containing lead and
zinc have been mined in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
It is to be noted that, in addition to its recovery from silver-lead ores, zinc is now produced
in large quantities from the copper-gold-silver ores of the Flin Flon mine, a property located on the
Manitoba-Saskatchewan boundary. Zine concentrates have been produced in British Columbia
from copper-gold-silver ores by the Britannia Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.; the metal also occurs
with copper-gold-silver ores in Quebec and commercial shipments of zine concentrates made from
these particular ores have been made yearly since 1937.
Statistical data contained in this chapter are essentially those pertaining to the mining of
silver-cobalt and silver-lead-zine ores and, to a lesser extent, silver-pitchblende ores.
(a) The Silver-Cobalt Mining Industry
The mining of silver-cobalt ores in Canada has been confined almost entirely to the district
of Temiskaming in Northern Ontario. Veins containing these metals were discovered at or near
the present town of Cobalt in 1903 and shipments of ores from this area have been continuous
since 1904. Depletion and exhaustion of ore reserves during recent years have resulted in a
relatively great decline in the production of metals from these deposits. In most instances,
operations at properties, some of which were prominent as producers in the past, were conducted
during recents years by lessees and shipments ranged from one to several hundred tons. The
increased demand for cobalt as an alloying metal has, for some years, stimulated operations of
a salvage nature at several of the older mines.
The gross value of shipments made by silver-cobalt mines in 1940 totalled $866,610 and the
net value of sales was estimated at $809,263. The number of shippers was reported at 48 and the
quantity of ore mined amounted to 43,245 tons. The O’Brien mine at Cobalt was operated under
lease in 1940 while operations again, chiefly of a salvage nature, were stimulated throughout the
camp by the increased demand for cobalt as an important war-time material.

(b) The Silver-Lead-Zinc Mining Industry
In 1940 the silver-lead-zine mining industry of Canada reported 82 operators or firms as

being actively engaged in the mining, prospecting or development of silver-lead-zine deposits
and of these operators 72 reported commercial shipments during the year under review.
Nova Scotia.—Production of silver-lead-zine ores in Nova Scotia in 1940 represented only

shipments of zinc concentrates made from stock accumulated at the Stirling mine during previous
mining operations. The Stirling mine is now inactive and milling ceased February 13th, 1938.
Quebec.—In Lemieux Township, Gaspe County, considerable prospecting of lead-zine

deposits in 1940 was reported by the Federzl Zine and Lead Co. Ltd.; no shipments of ores were
reported from these operations. During the year under review, only pumping and ordinary
maintenance operations were conducted at the Tetreault mine, located at Montauban les Mines.
4
In the township of Grand Calument, work was suspended in March, 1940 by Calumet Mines
Ltd.; operations during the early months of the year included 1,421 feet of diamond drilling.
Zine concentrates were produced in Northwestern Quebec in 1940 from the copper-gold-silver
ores of the Normetal mine; these were exported to the United States.
Ontario.—The only company reporting silver-lead-zinec mining operations in Ontario in

1940 was the Lennox Mines Co. Ltd.; this Company carried on surface work in January and
February, but no commercial ore Shanes were made. The property is located iin the township
of Sheffield, county of Lennox-Addington.
British Columbia.—British Columbia is the most important producer of silver-lead-zine

ores in the Dominion. The gross value of shipments of these ores during 1940 amounted to
$19,867,669 and the net value of same was estimated at $15,976,502. The industry in British
Columbia provided employment to 1,433 persons and distributed $2,632,983 in salaries and wages.
The Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. is the largest single producer
of silver-lead-zinc ores in Canada. The production of this Company comes from the Sullivan mine
located at Kimberley. The Company reported that ore development in 1940 was kept ahead of
production; mining costs for the year were a little higher than in 1939; milling costs, however,
were lower, the result being that the cost of mining and milling in 1940 was exactly the same as
in 1939. The grade of ore extracted was slightly higher than in the previous year.
Base Metals Mining Corp. Ltd. reported that milling was recommenced at the Monarch
mine on January 15th, 1940, and the concentrator operated at full capacity throughout the year.
Shipments of concentrates started on January 22nd, 1940 and have been going forward steadily
since then. Excellent recoveries and grades of concentrates have been obtained. During the
year, the major amount of ore mined was in the East Monarch.
In the Greenwood Mining Division, mining operations were conducted continuously through-
out the year by Higbland-Bell Ltd. Crude ore is shipped by this Company to the Trail smelter.
At Silverton, milling operations commenced at the Standard mine by the Western Exploration
Co. Ltd. on September 11th; both lead and zinc concentrates were produced for export. In addi-
tion to these larger operations, several other properties reported relatively smaller shipments
and considerable work was conducted under lease.
Yukon.—In Yukon the Mastiff mine was operated by Settlemier and Bermingham from
February to June. Crude silver-lead ore from this property was exported to the United States.
At Galena Hill in the Mayo district, mining operations were conducted throughout the year by
the Treadwell Yukon Corp. Ltd.; milling was carried on from April 15th to September 15th;
both crude silver-lead ore and silver-lead concentrates were shipped to a smelter in the United
States.
Northwest Territories.—Eldorado Gold Mines Ltd. operated its pitchblende-silver prop-

erty at Great Bear Lake from January 1st to June 18th, then closed down. Pitchblende con-
centrates were shipped to the Company’s radium refinery located at Port Hope, Ontario and
silver concentrates were consigned to Tacoma, Wasb.

ARSENIC
Production of arsenic in Canada during 1940 totalled 2,093,275 pounds valued at $62,798
compared with 1,741,917 pounds at $52,257 in the preceding year. During recent years refined
arsenic has been produced only by the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company Limited in its
plant located at Deloro, Ont. Until 1940 it was recovered by this Company entirely in the treat-
ment of silver-cohalt ores mined in Northern Ontario. Production figures as published represent
the element in the form of arsenious acid or white arsenic.
Commercial production of new arsenic in all forms from Canadian ores since 1885 to the end
of 1940 amounted to 68,340 short tons valued at $6,591,659. The largest annual output occurred
in 1918 in which year 3,560 short tons worth $563,639 were recorded. Arsenic is often a consti-
tuent of gold ores and has been commercially recovered from auriferous ores mined in Nova
Scotia, Ontario and British Columbia. Arsenical gold ores are now being treated at mines located
in Northwestern Quebec and in the Thunder Bay District of Ontario. During 1940 Beattie Gold
Mines Ltd., Duparquet, Quebec, produced 2,520 short tons of crude arsenic (As,O;) and the
O’Brien Gold Mines Ltd., Cadillac township, Quebec, 371 short tons of crude arsenic. No com-
mercial shipments of arsenic were reported by either Company during the year under review;
however, a shipment of crude arsenic was made in 1940 for experimental purposes by O’Brien
Gold Mines Ltd.; this was consigned to the Deloro smelter, Deloro, Ontario.

* In addition crude arsenic was recovered at certain mines during 1939 in the treatment of Quebec and Ontario gold
ores
but no commercial shipments were reported.
t 1931-1940 recovered at the Deloro smelter from Ontario silver-cobalt ores only; in 1940 arsenic recovered at Deloro,
Ontario, from auriferous quartz ores mined in the Province of Quebec was stock piled for commercial shipment in 1941.
COBALT
Cobalt.—The Canadian output of cobalt comes entirely from the silver-cobalt deposits of
northern Ontario and includes cobalt recovered and sold in the metallic state, the cobalt content
of oxides and salts made and sold and the metal content of cobaltiferous ores exported. Canadian
production in 1940 totalled 794,359 pounds valued at $1,235,220.
There is at present only one smelter in Canada treating cobalt ores; this is the plant of the
Deloro Smelting and Refining Company, Limited, located at Deloro, Ontario. This Company
produced mixed nickel and cobalt oxides at Deloro for the first time in 1910. Continuous opera-
tions were conducted by the Company throughout 1940 and production included cobalt metal,
cobalt salts, cobalt oxide, arseni¢ and silver bullion. It is also interesting to note that in 1939,
for the first time, cobalt residues were received by the Deloro Smelting and Refining Company,
Limited, from Africa. These residues are now treated by the Company for the recovery of the
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA ; 87
cobalt content. Since 1904, the first year for which cobalt production was recorded in Canada,
there were produced, to the end of 1940, in all forms, 33,858,014 pounds valued at $33,157,056.
The outbreak of war in Europe in 1939 was reflected in both an increased demand and price
for cobalt.
As a result of the extensive research, the use of cobalt continues to expand, consequently
world production has increased greatly. Cobalt oxide is used in the ceramic industry; cobalt
salts in the preparation of driers for use in paints, varnishes, and linoleums and as a catalyst;
and cobalt metal in various types of high-grade steels (especially metal cutting and magnet
steels), as a catalyst, and in electroplating.
Metal and Mineral Markets—New York, reported prices as follows: July 1941—Cobalt
metal, 97 to 99 per cent $2.11 per pound for small lots, spot; on lots of 100 pounds or more $1.50.
Cobalt ore, New York, May, 1941—per pound of cobalt: 8 to 9 per cent grade 80 cents; 9 to 10
per cent, 90 cents; 10 to 11 per cent, 90 to 95 cents; 11 to 12 per cent, 95 cents to $1.00; 12 to
13 per cent, $1.00 to $1.05; carload lots f.o.b. Ontario—prices nominal.
The Deloro Smelting and Refining Co. Ltd., is the only Canadian firm producing cobalt
alloys or cobalt metal; cobalt alloys are sold by this company almost entirely for use as cutting
tools and hard facing material.

SILVER
Production of newly mined silver in Canada in 1940 totalled 23,833,752 fine ounces valued
at $9,116,172 compared with 23,163,629 fine ounces at $9,378,490 in 1939. The average price
of the metal in Canadian funds was 38-249 cents per fine ounce in 1940 as against 40-488 cents
in 1939. The greatest annual production of silver in Canada was in 1910 in which year an output
of 32,869,264 fine ounces was recorded; the highest average yearly price per fine ounce for the
metal in Canada was 111-122 cents in 1919. Production of silver in Canada since 1887, the first
year for which data are available, to the close of 1940 totalled 807,498,741 fine ounces valued
at $463,807,309.
The following is, in part, from the Review of the 1940 Silver Market by Handy and Harman,
New York:
“Towards the end of 1939 restrictions against the importation of silver into England and
India isolated the silver markets of those countries from the rest of the world, thereby creating
two silver markets. Throughout 1940 these two markets have continued to function separately—
the world market, dependent for the most part upon the United States buying rate and typified
by New York quotations, and the Anglo-Indian market, influenced chiefly by bazaar operations
and represented by prices in pence and rupees.
“The world market was a wholly colourless affair. For theentire year the Treasury Depart-
ment maintained its rate at 35 cents, with the result that the New York “official” did not vary
from 34% cents except for two short periods in May and June when the easing of Indian restric-
tions caused a moderate advance in price. The high quotation for the year was 353 cents, attained
on May 28th and 29th. During the first half of 1940 another unsuccessful attempt was made in
Congress to bring about repeal of the authority for Government purchases of foreign silver, but
this effort had no depressing effect upon world prices such as resulted from the previous year’s
endeavour. . . . We estimate world silver production at 278,000,000 ounces, apportioned as
follows: United States, 66,000,000 ounces; Mexico, 84,500,000 ounces; Canada, 25,000,000 ounces :
South America, 32,500,000 ounces; all other countries, 70,000,000 ounces. The year
1940 created a new record for the use of silver by the arts and industries in the United States
and Canada. We estimate the amount at 41,000,000 ounces, an increase of more than 20 per
cent over the preceding year. In the arts the consumption figures showed the following approxim-
ate percentage changes compared with 1939: sterling silverware, 30% increase; silver-plated ware,
5% decrease; jewelry, 10% increase. In the dental trade there was a decrease of 10%. In the
purely industrial field, as distinct from the arts, larger quantities of silver were consumed except
in the case of chemical salts where the amount remained practically unchanged. There was
continued expansion in plating for non-silverware purposes, in the manufacture of electrical
contacts and alloys for soldering and brazing, and in the construction of chemical equipment.
Also there has been considerable use of silver of various compositions in shipbuilding for our
navy and in the production of airplanes, guns and other equipment for national defense. .
At the close of the year there was nothing to indicate any change in the United States silver-
buying program or in the price the United States’ Government will pay.”

LEAD AND ZINC
The mines of British Columbia account for a large part of Canada’s lead output, the Sullivan
mine owned by the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company Ltd. being by far the largest
producer.
O. W. Roskell, in the Mining Journal, London, comments on lead and zinc in 1940 as follows:
“Except for those in the United Kingdom, all the European lead and zinc producers are
virtually under Axis control. Spain, Sweden and Finland might still be regarded as exceptions,
but the two latter countries are of little importance. One result of the domination of Kurope has
been a solution—of sorts— of the problem of the custom smelters in Belgium, Holland and Nor-
way, to which attention was drawn in the review for 1939. Though the Belgians, in particular,
had substantial stocks, by ber invasion Germany has ensured that they will in future obtain
only those concentrates which she herself can supply or which can, should sbe think it worth
while, be railed across Europe to them. The virtual elimination from world trade of an important
part of the total smelting capacity nevertheless left the question of over-production of con-
centrates virtually untouched. Towards the end of the year, however, there were signs that this
difficulty was also becoming resolved. In 1940 about 20 per cent of the world lead production
(1-7 million tons—world output) was accounted for by the Axis or countries under Axis control.
Lead consumption was placed at 1-75 million tons in 1940 as against rather under 1-64 million
tons in 1938, the corresponding figure for the Axis in 1940 being about 25 per cent. Zinc production
in 1940 was estimated at slightly under 1-65 million tons, the Axis powers producing rather over
30 per cent and consuming slightly under 30 per cent of the total world consumption of about
1-8 million tons. The maximum prices for lead and zinc in the U.K. have been officially fixed’’.
Canada’s zine production includes zine in ores exported in concentrates from the Stirling
mine, Nova Scotia; zinc in concentrates made from the copper-gold-silver ores of northwestern
Quebec; refined zinc made from the ores of the Flin Flon mine on the Manitoba-Saskatchewan
boundary; zinc in concentrates exported by mines in British Columbia, and refined zine made at
Trail, B.C. by the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company of Canada Ltd. Owing to the
increased demand for zinc as a war material, interest in the construction of a zinc refinery in
Eastern Canada was revived in 1940 and the zinc situation was closely studied by officials in-
vestigating or supervising the nation’s war effort.

Since 1939 the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company has produced antimony metal
at the Trail Smelter; the total production of the metal from British Columbia ores in 1940 totalled
2,594,492 pounds valued at $396,468. The 1939 production was the first commercial output of
primary antimony metal in Canada in several years. Bismuth metal is also recovered at the
Trail smelter from silver-lead-zine ores, the production from these ores in 1940 amounting to
40,740 pounds valued at $56,384. In addition to metals, there has been an increasing quantity
of sulphur salvaged yearly in the smelting of silver-lead-zine ores in the Trail plants of the Con-
solidated Mining and Smelting Company. This has been recovered in both the gaseous and
elemental forms and is utilized in the manufacture of sulphuric acid and fertilizers.

The production of spelter in U.S.A. in 1940, exclusive of the production through graphite
retorts, was 707,935 short tons, of which 32,660 was derived from secondary material and 85,287
from foreign ore. Of the derivation from foreign ore 61,027 was from Mexican ore. The smelter
production in Yugoslavia in 1940 was 6,642 short tons.
According to the United States Bureau of Mines, the United States consumption and smelter
production of primary zinc reached unprecedented proportions in 1940 as a result of the stimula-
tion of industrial activity by the National Defence program and British orders for munitions.
The quotation for prime western zine at St. Louis was 5-75 cents per pound at the beginning
of 1940; 7-25 cents at the close, and averaged 6-34 cents for the year compared with 5-12 cents
in 1939 and 4-61 cents in 1938. After the German invasion of the low countries and the collapse
of France early in May, shipments rose abruptly, reaching a high in September. Demand ex-
ceeded production in every month beginning with May, so that there was a steady decline in
producers’ stocks thereafter. Demand for zinc from abroad in 1940 necessitated importation
into the United States of large quantities of foreign ore by smelters. In consequence, that produc-
tion of foreign zinc increased more than four-fold over 1939 and was the largest output recorded
since 1916. There were large increases in receipts of ore from Mexico, Canada and Newfoundland
in 1940. The zinc industry has undertaken a large building program and at the close of 1940
additions to several reduction plants were under way or scheduled for 1941. In some cases the
United States government has co-operated by agreement to a 5-year amortization of investment
as provided in recent tax legislation.

CHAPTER FOUR
THE NICKEL-COPPER INDUSTRY IN CANADA
1. Definition of the Industry.

2. General Review.
3. Commodity statistics, including tables showing production, prices, etc., for nickel, copper
and metals of the platinum group.
1. Definition of the Industry
The nickel-copper industry in Canada includes the mining, smelting and, to a certain extent,
the refining of the nickel-copper ores of the Sudbury district in the province of Ontario. Smelting
and copper refining operations are carried on in close proximity to the mines; nickel refining is
conducted at Port Colborne, Ontario. Matte is exported for treatment in plants at Huntington,
West Virginia, U.S.A., and Clydach, Wales; during recent years matte was also exported to
Norway, however, exports to that country ceased after its invasion by Germany in 1940.
As thus described, the industry in Canada constitutes the national source of nickel, most of
the platinum group metals and a large part of the Canadian copper production. Gold, silver,
tellurium and selenium in increasing quantities are also recovered from these ores.
Mines in the copper-gold-silver group also contribute largely to the total Dominion copper
output; ores from these properties contain, in the aggregate, about 11 per cent of the annual
gold production. The activities of the copper-gold mines are reviewed in the chapter on the
gold mining industry. Production statistics on nickel, copper and the metals of the platinum
group are given in this chapter.
General Review
Canadian nickel production in 1940 totalled 245,557,871 pounds valued at $59,822,591 an

all time high record for the industry.
Almost the entire production of Canadian nickel in 1940 originated in the nickel-copper
ores of the Sudbury district, Ontario, and represented the recovery of the metal in the refined
state, in oxides and salts, and in matte exported. In addition to the nickel obtained from the
Sudbury ores, there is a relatively small quantity of the metal recovered annually in the treatment
of silver-cobalt ores from the Cobalt district of Northern Ontario.
Copper recovered from nickel-copper ores in 1940 represented 53 per cent of the total quantity
of new copper produced from all sources in the Dominion during the year under review. ‘The
nickel-bearing deposits of the Sudbury area also contain relatively high values in platinum
metals which are recovered in refining operations.
In addition to production of nickel, copper, and the platinum metals, there is an important
recovery from these ores of the associated metals—silver, gold, selenium and tellurium; sulphur
for the manufacture of sulphuric acid is also salvaged in the gaseous state from waste smelter
gases. The total gross value of the various primary products of this Canadian industry, con-
sidered as a whole, was estimated at $103,109,213 in 1940 compared with $95,714,524 in 1939.
Two companies operated both mines and metallurgical plants in the Sudbury area in 1940.
The International Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited, conducts smelting operations at Copper Cliff
and Coniston, Ontario, while the Falconbridge Nickel Mines, Ltd., smelt their ores at the F alcon-
bridge mine located a few miles east of the town of Sudbury. This last named company treated
their matte in a refinery located at Kristiansand, Norway, until the invasion of that country by
Germany in 1940. Matte produced by the Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. is now treated in
the Canadian plants of the International Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited.
The relatively small amount of nickel oxide produced at Deloro, Ontario, is recovered from
silver-cobalt-nickel-arsenic ores mined in Northern Ontario. Smelter matte made by the Inter-
national Nickel Co. of Canada, Limited is treated in plants located at Clydach, Wales; Hunting-
ton, West Virginia, and at Port Colborne and Copper Cliff, Ontario. Converter copper made
by the International Nickel Co. is electrolytically refined at Copper Cliff.
The only other nickel-copper mining company to officially report work in 1940 was Nickel
Offsets Limited, with properties in Foy, Bowell and Morgan townships of the Sudbury area.
This Company stated that only surface exploration and road work were conducted during the
period April 15 to December 15.
Capital employed in Canada by the nickel-copper mining, smelting and refining industry in
1940 was reported at $132,818,804; employees totalled 12,339 and $22,568,887 were distributed
as salaries and wages. Fuel and electricity used in 1940 were valued at $9,048,885 and the cost
of chemicals, explosives and other process supplies consumed totalled $13,150,095.

_ (*) Includes a relatively small quantity of nickel recovered annually from silver-cobalt ores; Canadian nickel produc-
tion comes entirely from Ontario ores with the exception of 1937 whena relatively small tonnage of nickel ore was exported
from a property in British Columbia.
The following is from an address delivered at the annual meeting of the International Nickel
Company of Canada Ltd. by the president of the company Robert C. Stanley :—
“The most important duty of your management during 1940, the first full year of operations
under war-time conditions, was to provide an adequate supply of nickel, copper and platinum
metals to meet all demands for the war programs of His Majesty’s Governments in Canada and
Great Britain. Furthermore, the defence program of the United States Government, in con-
junction with its policy of aid to Britain, is adding heavily to the toll on our output of nickel.
To meet the situation we have not only continued our program of balancing smelter and refinery
capacity with mine output, but have augmented and accelerated this program by making plant
extensions wherever possible and utilizing all available facilities. In addition, we are treating
and refining the entire bessemer matte output of Falconbridge Nickel Mines Limited. Due to
these efforts nickel output was increased in 1940, and is being further expanded in 1941.
“Copper production resulting from increased nickel output, and from the treatment of
Falconbridge bessemer matte, exceeded the capacity of our copper refinery and we found it neces-
sary to make outside arrangements for the refining of a portion of our copper. The contract
with His Majesty’s Ministry of Supply for the delivery of about 80 per cent of out output of
electrolytic copper, referred to in last year’s address, expired on September Ist, 1940, and was
renewed for another year.”’
COPPER
Production of new copper in Canada from domestic ores during 1940 totalled 655,593,441
pounds valued at $65,775,061 compared with 608,825,570 pounds at $60,934,859 in the preceding
year. The 1940 output was the greatest ever recorded in Canada and its value was only sur-
passed by that of $68,917,219 for the year 1937.
Of the 1940 output, 565,034,590 pounds were contained in blister or anode copper produced
in Canadian smelters, 78,889,101 pounds in crude ores and concentrates exported and 11,669,750
pounds in matte exported. According to production by provinces, Quebec contributed 134,166,955
pounds, Ontario 347,931,013 pounds, Manitoba 75,267,937 pounds, Saskatchewan 20,484,954
pounds and British Columbia 77,742,582 pounds.
In Quebec the ores of the Horne, Normetal and Waite-Amulet mines were treated at the
Noranda smelter; shipments from the Aldermac mine were consigned to both the Noranda and
foreign smelters. Of the total Ontario output, the nickel-copper ores of the Sudbury district
accounted for 347,485,369 pounds, or 53 per cent of the total Canadian copper production.
Production in Manitoba and Saskatchewan represented copper contained in blister made by the
Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Co. Ltd. from ores of the Flin Flon and Sherritt Gordon mines.
Copper output in British Columbia in 1940 came largely from the mines of the Britannia Mining
& Smelting Co. Ltd. and the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Co. Ltd.; pro-
duction by these companies was about equal in tonnage and the ores from the properties of both
fir~s wore exported to forcign countries. he two ¢ ana. ian electrolytic copper refineries located
at « opper Cliff, Cnt. and Montreal | ast, Que. were in continuous operation throughout the year
under review.
Under war-time control, the price cf copper in Canadian funds averaged 10-086 cents per
pound in 1940 compared with 10-092 cents in 1939.

METALS OF THE PLATINUM GROUP
The entire output of new metals of this group in 1940 was derived from the nickel-copper
ores of the Sudbury district in Ontario, with the exception of 24 ounces of platinum recovered
from alluvial deposits in the province of British Columbia.
Production from Ontario ores represented recoveries made from precious metal concentrates
shipped by the International Nickel Company of Canada Ltd. and treated in plants located at
Acton, England and Newark, New Jersey, U.S.A.; precious metals contained in matte made at
the Falconbridge smelter were recovered in Norway until April, 1940, at which time the refinery
of the company was seized by the German army; during the remainder of the year all matte
made at the Falconbridge smelter was treated in the plants of the International Nickel Company
of Canada Ltd. and recoveries of such metals were included with those reported by that company.
The 1940 annual report of the International Nickel Company of Canada Ltd. stated:—“No
estimate of world consumption of platinum metals is available for 1940, but because of war-time
restrictions there appears to have been a decline as compared with 1939. Jewellery markets
probably took a smaller proportion of the total deliveries than in previous years, the industrial
uses being proportionately greater. The company’s markets for platinum metals, which were
principally in Great Britain and the United States, went through the year without appreciable
price changes, except in the case of iridium. Platinum, which opened the year at $40 per ounce,
declined gradually until September when the price reached $36. Palladium remained steady at
$24, as did rhodium at $125 and ruthenium at $35 to $40. Starting at $125 in January, iridium
was quoted at $275 in December; of the latter metal the company’s production is limited. In the
chemical industry interest continued in the use of platinum and platinum-clad metal for equip-
ment requiring the utmost corrosion resistance. Platinum metal alloys for contact points and
for aircraft ignition systems were under further development.”’
Canada was probably the largest world producer of the platinum metals in 1940. In 1988,
the last year for which complete data are available, the output of the principal producing countries
was as follows: Canada, 292,203 fine ounces platinum metals; Russia, 120.000 ounces crude plat-
inum; Union of South Africa, 58,734 ounces (crude and fine) platinum metals, and Colombia
29,460 ounces crude platinum. The United States. in 1938, reported a production of 42,043
ounces of crude platinum from placers; 7,247 troy ounces from domestic ores, etc. (refineries) ;
and 64,291 troy ounces of secondary platinum metals. The United States is an important refining
centre of both domestic and foreigp platinum metals.

CHAPTER FIVE
MISCELLANEOUS METAL MINING INDUSTRIES IN CANADA
Including General Statistics Relating to the Industries in this Group and Commodity Statistics
Showing Production by Provinces and Prices on Aluminium, Antimony, Barium, Beryllium,
Cadmium, Chromite, Iron Ore, Pig Iron and Ferro-Alloys, Steel and Rolled Products.
Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Mercury, Molybdenum, Radium, Selenium, Tantalum,
Tellurium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Uranium, Vanadium and Zirconium.
1. General Review
Metal-bearing minerals, mined in relatively small quantities by a comparatively few oper-

ators, have been grouped by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for consideration as a single
industry. Included with the finally revised statistics relating to the Canadian production of
these, are notes and statistical data pertaining to various rare or semi-rare metals or metalliferous
ores produced in other countries. Metals or metal-bearing ores produced in Canada during 1940
and classified as miscellaneous include—antimony, bismuth, cadmium, iron ore, mercury, molyb-
denite, radium and uranium products, selenium, tellurium, tungsten concentrates and titanium ore.
In addition to particulars relating to these metals or products, the report contains notes of a sum-
mary nature on beryl and beryllium, lithium, magnesium, sodium, calcium, aluminium, tin,
vanadium and zirsonium. ;
It is to be noted that the majority of the metals listed above as Canadian products and
including bismuth, cadmium, selenium and tellurium, represent by-products recovered in the
refining of lead, zinc or copper and, for this reason, such statistics as relate to their production in
Canada are included with those of either the silver-lead-zine mining industry, the copper-gold-
silver mining industry, or the non-ferrous smelting and refining industry.
The gross value of production credited to this industry in 1940 totalled $2,029,278 compared
with $524,977 in 1939. Employees totalled 445 in 1940 and salaries and wages paid amounted
to $628,025.
ALUMINIUM
The reduction of aluminium ores and the production of primary aluminium in Canada is
confined to the province of Quebec. In this province the Aluminum Company of Canada,
Limited, operates an ore treatment plant at Arvida and reduction plants at both Arvida and
Shawinigan Falls. These three plants were in continuous operation throughout 1940. At the
Arvida ore plant concentrates were made from British Guiana bauxite and aluminium ingot was
produced in the two reduction works. The Company also operates fabricating plants at Sha-
winigan Falls, Quebec, and Toronto, Ontario, and a new plant for the production of aluminium
products is now operated by the Company at Kingston, Ontario. Data relating to the aluminium
industry are not included with those recorded in tables of this report. Bauxite from British
Guiana, used for the production of aluminium, is washed and dried before being shipped; at
Arvida, Quebec, it is treated by a standard chemical process to remove impurities, and pure
aluminium oxide is recovered. Cryolite, necessary in the production of the metal, is largely
imported from Greenland; synthetic cryolite is also used in making aluminium. A very large
amount of electrical energy is utilized in the production of new aluminium metal from bauxite
concentrates. No bauxite ores are mined in Canada and the principal bauxite producing countries
are France, Hungary, United States, Yugoslavia, Italy, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana and
Russia.
Primary aluminium production in the United States during 1940 exceeded the peak reached
in 1939 by 26 per cent and consumption rose 35 per cent above that in 1939, according to the
Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior. A total of 412,560,000 pounds of
new aluminium valued at $75,292,210 was produced in the United States in 1940 contrasted with
327,090,000 pounds valued at $64,600,000 in 1939. The apparent consumption of primary
/
aluminium in 1940 totalled 454,034,409 pounds compared with 335,337,860 pounds in 1939.
At the end of 1940 aluminium was being produced at a rate exceeding 500,000,000 pounds annually.
In order to meet the requirements of the national defence program, aluminium production will be
further increased in 1941 and 1942 at the five reduction plants of the Aluminum Company of
America and at a new plant of the Reynolds Metals Company at Lister (near Sheffield), Alabama.
Output is expected to reach an annual rate exceeding 690,000,000 pounds by July, 1941, and
825,000,000 pounds by July, 1942, according to a report published by the Advisory Commission
to the Council of National Defence.
During 1940 the United States consumed more bauxite, the ore of aluminium, than in any
other year, according to the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior. Appar-
ent domestic consumption in 1940 totalled 958,695 long tons, 22 per cent more than the 782,975
tons consumed in the previous peak year of 1939. While the aluminium industry, which pro-
duced 26 per cent more metal in 1940 than in 1939, accounted for most of the increased demand
for bauxite, artificial abrasive and chemical manufacturers also used more ore. The larger demand
in 1940 was met by a 17 per cent increase in domestic mine shipments and a 21 per cent increase
inimports. Domestic shipments were equivalent to 47 per cent and net imports to 53 per cent of
total apparent consumption. About three-fourths of the aluminium industry’s supply came from
abroad, chiefly from Surinam (Dutch Guiana).
United States bauxite output (mine shipments) in 1940 totalled 488,913 long tons (dried ore
basis) and was valued at $2,578,968, an increase of 17 per cent in quantity and 19 per cent in value
over that in 1939. Of the domestic ore shipped from nime producers’ and processors’ plants
(449,198 tons), the aluminium industry took 48 per cent, abrasive 29 per cent, chemical 18 per
cent, and oil refining, refractory, steel and other industries 5 per cent.
Six mining companies operating in Saline and Pulaski Counties, Arkansas, accounted for 97
per cent of the 1940 bauxite output and for virtually all of the increased domestic production.
For the first time Virginia produced a small tonnage of ore from very limited reserves in Augusta
County. Shipments from Barbour and Henry Counties, Alabama, and from Sumter County,
Georgia, continued to decline.
In the latter part of 1939 the British Government signed with the Aluminum Company of
Canada a contract under which the United Kingdom takes the entire Canadian exports; although
provision was made whereby contracts signed prior to the war would be fulfilled. Additions
made to plants in 1940 allow for a considerable increase in Canada’s productive capacity. The
average nominal price in New York for aluminium 99 per cent pure in 1940 was 19 cents per pound.

ANTIMONY
Antimony metal is recovered in the metallurgical works of the Consolidated Mining and
Smelting Company Ltd., Trail, B.C. In addition to the production of metal at Trail, the Pioneer
Gold Mines of B.C. Limited exported approximately a carload of crude antimony ore to the
United Kingdom. This was mined at Stuart Lake in the Omineca Mining District of British
Columbia; this property was active in 1940 during the period May to November. Canadian
production in 1940 totalled 2,594,492 pounds valued at $396,468, all from British Columbia.
In the province of Quebec, Reed Realties Ltd. reported the clearing out of an old tunnel on an
antimony deposit located on Lot 28, Range 1, South Ham; work was conducted here from May 6
to June 22, 1940. Prior to the close of 1938 there had been no commercial production of antimony
metal in Canada since 1917 and no by-product output of the metal since 1926, in which year it
was reported as contained in silver-lead-bismuth bullion produced from cobalt-silver ores mined
in Northern Ontario.
Minerals containing antimony occur in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario,
Manitoba, British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. Stibnite (Sb28;) occurs in the veins of
the Reliance Gold Mines, Bridge River mining district, British Columbia, and in the same province
at the property of the Gray Rock Mining Syndicate in the Truax Creek area, and at the Congress
mine adjoining the Reliance property.
In June, 1941, domestic antimony metal was quoted—New York—14 cents per pound.
Antimony ore, per unit of antimony contained, 50 to 55 per cent, $1.30 to $1.40; 58 to 60 per cent,
$1.50 to $1.60; 6U to 65 per cent, $1.75 to $1.80; London, 60 to 65 per cent, 9s. per long ton unit,

1939 and 357,579 pounds at $17,193 in 1940.
BARIUM
A report on barium minerals by the Imperial Institute, London, contains the following
information:
A series of lead-calcium-barium alloys known in some cases as Frary metal and others as
Ferry metal, are used for bearing purposes. The amount of barium is about 2 per cent and the
bulk of the alloy is lead. The alloys are manufactured electrolytically from molten chlorides
using a cathode of molten lead, and are used in the same manner as other ‘white’ metals. Alum-
inium and barium form a series of alloys which have greater fluidity than pure aluminium. A
range of barium-aluminium and barium-magnesium alloys are being produced by an English
firm under the trade names ‘Baral’ and ‘Barmag’. The proportion of barium varies up to as
much as 50 per cent, but the consumers in the wireless valve trade usually require the ‘Baral’
alloy to contain 45 to 50 per cent of barium and the ‘Barmag’ alloy to carry 25 to 30 per cent
barium. With nickel, barium forms an alloy (0-2 per cent barium) which is stated to exhibit
greater resistance to the action of hot corrosive gases than does pure nickel, and on this account
it has been used for the manufacture of sparking plug electrodes.
The U.S. Bureau of Mines reports that barium metal is now made in the United States,
chiefly to supply the small requirements for radio, vacuum and thermionic tubes where it is used
as a “‘getter’ along with lithium, potassium and calcium. The metal is not yet produced com-
mercially in Canada. Current prices for barium are not available, but in 1936 it was available
at approximately $5.00 per pound or less.
BERYLLIUM
The principal ore of beryllium is the mineral beryl—Be;Al:(SiO;),.. There are several known
occurrences of this mineral in Canada and shipments of beryl have been made for experimental
purposes from deposits in Renfrew county, Ontario, and the Oiseau river area in Manitoba.
Bery! usually occurs in pegmatites and is sometimes recovered as a by-product in the mining of
' MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA 103
the feldspar and mica content of these rocks. No commercial production of beryl has ever been
officially reported in Canada. No mining or shipments of beryllium ores were officially reported
in Canada during 1940.
The Minerals Year Book of the U.S. Bureau of Mines for 1940 reports on beryllium as
follows:
“Beryllium production is still an infant industry, but in 1940 it grew lustily. Most of the
metal is now produced as a 4-per cent master alloy with copper, in which form it is sold at $15 per
pound of contained beryllium, whereas beryllium metal of domestic manufacture costs approxi-
mately $45 a pound compared with $100 formerly charged for German-produced metal of less
purity. Wrought beryllium alloys—which are made by remelting the master alloy and which
are ready for fabrication—now range from 0-1 to 2-25 per cent in beryllium content. Best-
known and longest on the market is a binary alloy containing 2 to 2-25 per cent beryllium. The
base price for strip and other merchant forms of this alloy is 96 cents per pound when copper
is 10 cents (98 cents at 12-cent copper). By adding a little cobalt (0-25 per cent, for example),
which seems to stabilize the properties and improve uniformity as well as to facilitate precipitation
hardening, the Bé content can be reduced to 1-8 per cent without loss of properties obtainable by
heat treatment. Another alloy on the market contains approximately 0-5 per cent beryllium
and 2-6 per cent cobalt, and there is also one with only about 0-1 per cent beryllium and 0-3 per
cent chromium, the remainder being copper in both instances. These two alloys are primarily
electrical alloys (conductivity, approximately 50 and 70 per cent that of copper, respectively)
with excellent strength and hardness. The 2-6-per cent cobalt alloy, however, is reported also
to have an unusually high endurance limit at temperatures around 500° F.
“The present high cost of beryllium is not due to the cost of raw materials or lack of efficient
processes for recovery of the metal from beryl. Even under present conditions the metal probably
could be sold with a good profit at $5.00 per pound, provided the volume of sales was large enough
to carry the heavy expenses of laboratory and market research and general overhead.
Actually the offerings of beryl have greatly exceeded demand, and now both leading American
beryllium companies are confident that as the industry grows ore supplies will grow proportion-
ately. Statistics of United States production or consumption of beryllium cannot be published,
but information available indicates that United States production of beryl has ranged in recent
years from less than 100 to a maximum of not more than 200 tons a year, whereas imports have
been increasing. Imports of beryl in 1940 rose to a new record—805 short tons valued at $22,865,
of which 422 tons came from Argentina, 377 from Brazil and 6 from South Africa.”
Engineering and Mining Journal, New York, in June, 1941 quoted beryllium-copper, master
alloy 4 per cent beryllium, remainder copper, in lots one pound or more of beryllium, $15 per
pound of contained beryllium. Beryllium ore—per ton (2,000 pounds), carload lots, minimum
10 per cent BeO; minimum 12 per cent, $35 f.o.b.
No imports into Canada of beryllium, described as such, were reported in 1940. It may,
however, enter in the form of special alloys.
BISMUTH
Bismuth production in Canada during 1940 and recent years represented the metal recovered
from silver-lead ores smelted at Trail, B.C.. and the metal contained in silver-lead-bismuth
bullion produced in the treatment of silver-cobalt ores at Deloro, Ont. Production in 1940
totalled 58,529 pounds valued at $81,004.
Imports of metallic bismuth into Canada in 1940 totalled 5 pounds valued at $11 compared
with 10,252 pounds at $10,835 in 1939; these imports came entirely from. the United States.
Imports of bismuth salts into Canada in 1940 were appraised at $17,516 compared with $8,671 in
the preceding year.
Mineral Industry states that it is impossible to arrive at any actual figures for world
output of bismuth. The United States Bureau of Mines estimated world consumption in 1939
at about 2,600,000 pounds of which Europe accounted for 2,000,000 pounds and the United
States for 500,000 pounds. The Cerro de Pasco Copper Corp. is the world’s chief producer of
bismuth, recovering it as a by-product at its copper and lead plants in Peru. Commercial
production of bismuth has been also reported in Australia, Bolivia, Mexico, Argentina, Spain,
Japan and Germany.
Bismuth is consumed chiefly in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and alloys. According
to U.S. Bureau of Mines report, pharmaceutical and medicinal manufacturers have heretofore
used about 75 per cent and low-melting-point and non-shrinking alloys the balance. The metal
is employed in almost all low-melting metallic alloys used for fusible plugs, safety devices, dental
models, soft solders and tempering baths for small tools and pieces. The principal alloying
components used with bismuth are lead, tin and cadmium. The recently developed free-cutting
aluminium alloy 118 contains a small percentage of bismuth. Bismuth also is used in small
quantities in iron castings, in special brake linings, in enamelling and the manufacture of optical
glass, in the manufacture of special instruments, and in plastics as bismuth subnitrate. Metal
and Mineral Markets, New York, quoted bismuth metal, June, 1941—per pound, in ton lots
$1.25; London 4s. 6d.

BORON
According to the United States Bureau of Mines, boron alloys are supplied by United States
manufacturers, small quantities being used in the nonferrous-metals industries and in steel making.
In cast iron, boron opposes graphitization on solidification and exerts an energetic whitening
effect, producing a hard strong iron but reducing malleability.
Boron carbide, boron carbide shapes and calcium boride are now produced in Canada.
About 380 per cent of the output of borax is used as a flux in the enamelling industry and
another 30 per cent as a flux in glass making. The United States supplies most of the borax and
boric acid requirements of the world. A maximum price of $41.50 per ton for borax was set by
the United States price administration in 1941.
CADMIUM
Cadmium production in Canada represents the recovery of the metal as a by-product in the
electrolytic refining of zinc. Production up to 1935 came entirely from the treatment of zinc-
bearing ores at Trail, British Columbia, by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of
Canada, Limited. The commercial production of the metal from the copper-gold-silver-zine
ores of the Flin Flon mine was commenced in Manitoba for the first time in 1936. Canadian
output of cadmium in 1940 totalled 908,127 pounds valued at $1,056,152.
Cadmium is consumed largely in the manufacture of alloys and for plating, also in the
making of such pigments as cadmium lithopone, cadmium yellows, etc. A relatively large
quantity of the metal is used in the production of bearing metals for high-speed internal com-
bustion engines. It was reported after the outbreak of war in September that both the demand
and market prices of cadmium showed a decided increase. ‘Metal and Mineral Market’,
New York, quoted cadmium, June, 1941, per pound, commercial sticks, wholesale quantities,
90 cents.
“Mineral Industry” stated that in 1939, on the basis of the 1938 outputs, Germany now has
under its control not only the home output of 432 metric tons, but also the Polish output of 244
tons; the Norwegian, of 208 tons; the Belgian, of 259 tons; and presumably the French output of
116 tons. This is a total of 1,259 tons out of a world total of about 4,100 tons. But it must be
remembered that of these countries, Norway, Belgium, and France work almost entirely on
imported ores, also much of the output in Germany has in the past been derived from cadmium
bearing flue dust imported from Mexico and Southwest Africa.

Statistics relating to Canadian exports or possible imports of cadmium were not published
separately by the Department of National Revenue, Ottawa prior to 1939. In 1939 Canada
exported 1,049,853 pounds of cadmium valued at $788,180, of which 978,525 pounds worth
$750.836 went to the United Kingdom.
CALCIUM
There is no commercial production of calcium metal in Canada and data relating to possible
imports of metallic calcium into the Dominion are not published. .The Minerals Year Book
of the United States Bureau of Mines contains the following information pertaining to the metal:
“Metallic calcium, produced before the European War almost exclusively abroad, chiefly in
France, is now made in the United States, the leading consumer. It is employed more and more
for grain-refining alloy steel and in small amounts in some magnesium products. Various uses,
as summarized by C. L. Mantall, include: (a) Deoxidizer and alloy agent for copper, lead, and
other nonferrous metals; (b) preparation of high-temperature, high-resistance nickel-chrome and
53137—8
nickel-chrome-iron alloys; and (c) as a reducing agent, in form of hydride, in the manufacture of
rare metals, such as, titanium, uranium, vanadium, and zirconium.
“The lead base bearing metal hardened with calcium and barium (Frary metal) does not
require the metals in its manufacture, but is produced by direct electrode position of these metals
into a fused lead cathode. In the event of scarcity of tin and antimony for babbit metal, and of
antimony for storage battery plates, lead hardened with calcium and barium may be used as a
substitute.”
Calcium metal was quoted in the United States, gigientbdd, 1939—per pound, 98 to 99 per
cent—75 cents—ton lots—lump. No quotations were published during 1940.
CHROMITE
The mineral chromite (FeO, Cr.O3) is the commercial source of the metal chromium; it is
also used extensively in the manufacture of refractory brick. The metal is a necessary consti-
tuent of many high-speed cutting tools, certain armour plate, and stainless steels. Chromite is
also used in the manufacture of chromic acid for electroplating and in the manufacture of chem-
icals used chiefly in the dyeing, tanning and pigment industries. The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa,
states that metallurgical ores should contain not less than 48 to 50 per cent Cr.O3 and as little
iron as possible.
The principal chromite producing countries are Russia, South Africa, Turkey, Southern
Rhodesia, Cuba, New Caledonia, Yugoslavia, India, and Philippine Islands. Production of the
mineral in Canada during recent years has been relatively small, coming almost entirely from the
Eastern Townships, Quebec. During the past few years considerable development work was
conducted on a chromite deposit located at Obongo Lake, in the Thunder Bay district of Ontario;
shipments were made from this property in 1935, 1936 and 1937. The owners of this mine, The
“Chromium Mining and Smelting Corp. Ltd., also have a modern electric smelting plant at Sault
Ste. Marie, Ontario, for the production of ferrochrome and ferrosilicon from imported ores;
chrom-X, an exothermic alloying agent is produced at this plant.
Canadian production in 1940 came entirely from the Eastern Townships in the province of
Quebec, and chiefly from deposits located on Lot 7, Range 12, Orford Tp. and Lot 28, Range 10,
Brompton Tp. These deposits were worked by H. B. Fletcher. Other chromite mining oper- —
ations in 1940 included development work on Lot 17, Range a, Coleraine Tp. by Thetford Ferro-
chrome Co. Limited; surface work and diamond drilling at the Sterrett mine in Cleveland Tp.,
Richmond County, by Chromite Limited and the cleaning out of old pits on Lot 15, Range 1 of
South Ham Tp. by Reed Realties Ltd. During 1940 a trial shipment of chromite was made from
the Thetford mines area by W. R. Metulier and a relatively small tonnage of the mineral was
recovered as a by-product by the Asbestos Corporation Ltd.
In British Columbia, exploration and development work has been conducted during the past
on several chromite deposits but there have been no reports made to the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, Ottawa, of recent activities at these properties.
‘Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted chrome ore June, 1941:—Per long ton
C.I.F. Atlantic Ports: Turkish concentrates 48 per cent Cr.O3, not quoted. Indian and African,
48 per cent metallurgical ore $43 to $45; ordinary ore, $37 to $39; 43 to 45 per cent, refractory ore,
$25 to $26. Prices nominal.
Corresponding prices May, 1940 were:—Turkish, 48 per cent Cr.O; concentrates, $29 to $30;
Indian, 48 per cent, $25 to $26; 43 to 45 per cent refractory, $21 to $22.

IRON ORE
No iron ores, known as such, were mined in Canada for some years prior to 1939. Nova
Scotia with its large iron and steel industry is not a producer of ironore. The large deposits of
high-grade ore in Newfoundland, owned by the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation, are much
more readily accessible and of a higher and more constant grade than the iron ore deposits in
Nova Scotia.
Iron ore was first mined and smelted in the province of Quebec early in the eighteenth cent-
ury, and from that time until 1883, the industry was carried on almost continuously at Three
Rivers in the St. Maurice district. Other furnaces using local ore were operated at Radnor
Forges and Drummondville, the last to shut down being the Drummondville furnace in 1911
At the present time only titaniferous ore is mined in Quebec; this ore is produced near Baie St.
Paul and is shipped for its titanium content.
A very considerable tonnage of iron ore has been shipped from properties in Ontario during
past years. These shipments included both hematite and magnetite. In 1940 commercial ship-
ments of beneficiated ore were continued from the new Helen mine in the Michipicoten district
and were made by Algoma Ore Properties Limited. During the year under review, iron ore was
also shipped from old dumps of the Bessemer mines in Eastern Ontario, while at Atikokan, in the
Rainy River district, exploration of the Steep Rock Lake hematite deposits was continued
throughout the year by Steep Rock Iron Mines Limited. Canadian production of iron ore in
1940, all from Ontario, totalled 414,603 tons valued at $1,211,305.
Different varieties of iron ore are found in various parts of British Columbia, the most
important of which are the magnetite deposits which occur on the islands along the coast. No.
work on these deposits was reported in 1940.
Imports of iron ore into Canada during 1940 totalled 2,418,237 short tons valued at $5,513,215
compared with 1,764,844 short tons at $4,179,353 in 1939.
Iron ore quotations in the United States. August, 1939. were as follows:—per long ton,
Lower Lake Ports, Lake Superior Ore—Mesabi. non-bessemer, 514 per cent iron $4.95. Old
range, non-bessemer, $5.10. Mesabi, bessemer, 513 per cent iron $5.10. Eastern ores,
per long ton unit, delivered at furnaces: Foundry and Basic, 56 to 63 per cent, 9 to 9% cents,
June, 1941, quotations for Mesabi, non-bessemer, 513 per cent iron, $4.45. Old range, non-
bessemer, $4.60. Mesabi, bessemer, 513 per cent iron, $4.60. Old range, bessemer, $4.75.
Eastern ores Foundry and Basic, 56 to 63 per cent, 10 cents per long ton unit. Prices for foreign
ores nominal.
The output of iron ore in the United States in 1940 is estimated by the Bureau of Mines,
United States Department of the Interior, at 73,806,000 gross tons, an increase of 43 per cent
over the quantity mined in 1939. The output in 1940 was, except for 1916 and 1917, the largest
on record. The ore shipped from mines in 194U is estimated at 74,969,000 gross tons valued at
$191,734,000, an increase of 37 per cent in quantity and 21 per cent in total value compared with
1939. The above figures do not include ore that contained 5 per cent or more of manganese in
the natural state.
53137—8}
The average value of the ore at the United States mines in 1940 is estimated at $2.56 per
gross ton; in 1939 it was $2.89. The stocks of iron ore at the mines at the end of 1940, mainly in
Michigan and Minnesota, were 3,502,000 gross tons, a decrease of 26 per cent from 1939.
With the United States steel industry operating at 73 per cent of capacity during each of the
first quarters of 1940, advancing to 88 during the third quarter, and reaching 95 during the last
quarter, thus establishing an all-time record output, operating schedules at iron-ore mines in the
Lake Superior district were keyed to meet not only the 1940 requirements but to build up stocks
at docks and furnaces sufficient to last until the 1941 navigation season opens. ‘To accomplish
this task, the entire ore fleet was engaged part of the season. Although severe storms on the
Great Lakes in November resulted in the movement of about 2,00,000 tons less than expected,
shipments down the Laxes for the season exceeded 63,000,000 tons and were the third largest on
record.

* Shipments to Europe in 1930, 1932 and 1934 were to Germany only, while from 1935 to 1938 shipments went to both
Germany and Great Britain. Shipments to Germany in 1938 totalled 1,256,230 short tons, and in 1939, 768,743 tons. In
1940 all European shipments went to Great Britain.
IRON AND STEEL AND THEIR PRODUCTS
The Primary Iron and Steel Industry
Statistics for the Primary Iron and Steel Industry include data for all establishments in
Canada which were engaged chiefly in the manufacture of (a) pig iron, (b) ferro-alloys, (c) steel
ingots and steel castings, (d) hot rolled iron and steel products, (e) cold rolled or cold drawn steel
bars, strips and shapes. Thirty-nine firms were included in this industry in 1940 and reports
‘were received for 54 different plants or departments, including 4 blast furnace departments,
4 ferro-alloy plants, 30 steel furnace divisions, and 16 rolling or drawing mills. Separate reports
were received for blast furnace departments, for steel furnace divisions and for rolling mills even
when all three were units of a single works.
Factory sales of pig iron, ferro-alloys, steel ingots and castings and finished rolled products
were 50-9 per cent higher in 1940 than in 1939, the values being $114,598,409 and $75,934,481,
respectively. Twenty-five works in Ontario accounted for 66-6 per cent of the total for Canada
or $76,335,959; six plants in Nova Scotia accounted for 19 per cent or $21,717,799; fourteen plants
in Quebec for 11-8 per cent or $13,563,176, while the remaining $2,981,475 or 2-6 per cent was
accounted for by 4 plants in Manitoba, 4 in British Columbia and 1 in Alberta.
Fixed and working capital employed in this industry amounted to $133,844,814, including
$80,550,988 for the value of land, buildings and plant equipment, $30,279,428 for the value of raw
and finished materials on hand and in process, and $23,014,398 for operating capital, such as, cash,
bills and accounts receivable. For works in Ontario the capital was $87,416,818; in Nova Scotia,
$25,847,776; in Quebec, $18,108,891; in Manitoba, $2,132,547, and in Alberta and British Col-
umbia, $338,782.
In 1940, an average of 17,774 people were employed in this industry, this being an increase
of 28-5 per cent over the 1939 average of 13,827. About 1,240 persons worked in the blast furnace
departments during the year, 5,692 in the steel furnaces, 9,803 in the rolling mills and 1,039 in
ferro-alloy plants (exclusive of those producing ferro-alloys as a by-product). Sixty-five per cent

of the employees or 11,537 worked in plants in Ontario, 2,973 in Quebec, 2,579 in Nova Scotia,
547 in Manitoba and 138 in Alberta and British Columbia.
Payments in salaries and wages during 1940 amounted to $29,207,036, a gain of 43-1 per cent
over the previous year’s total of $20,410,517. Salaries advanced to $3,488,044 from $3,003,672
and wages to $25,718,992 from $17,406,845.
Materials used in manufacturing processes cost $54,045,692 in 1940 compared with
$29,629,376 in 1939, and the cost of fuel and electricity was $9,582,791 against $6,174,661, an
increased expenditure of 82-4 per cent for materials and 55-2 per cent for fuel and power.
PIG IRON
Output of 1,168,839 tons of pig iron in 1940 was 55 per cent over the 755,731 tons reported
for the previous year. Production of basic iron amounted to 974,629 tons or 83 per cent of the
total; foundry iron amounted to 107,924 tons and malleable iron to 86,286 tons.
Producers’ sales of pig iron totalled 247,599 tons at $5,868,769 in 1940 compared with 171,977
tons at $3,757,573 in 1939, a gain of 44 per cent in quantity and 38 per cent in value.
A review of the year’s output by months shows that 104,703 tons were made in January, after
which the tonnage ranged between 84,000 and 95,000 until July, reached 105,020 tons in September
and closed the year at the high of 110,422 tons in December.
Charges to iron blast furnaces during the year included 1,953,638 tons of imported iron ore,
138,074 tons of Canadian ore, 1,223,173 short tons of coke, 454,376 short tons of imported lime-
stone and 25,075 short tons of Canadian limestone.
Imports of pig iron during the calendar year advanced to 26,521 tons from 587 tons in 1939
while exports dropped 3,672 tons from 10,728 tons.
Producers’ stocks at the end of 1940 totalled 68,357 tons compared with 61,763 tons at the
end of the previous year.
The apparent consumption of pig iron in Canada, as calculated by deducting the exports
from the sum of the production and imports, and allowing for changes in producers’ stocks,
amounted to 1,185,094 tons in 1940 or 46 per cent more than in 1939 when the apparent domestic
supply was 811,736 tons.
Producers of pig iron in Canada have 10 blast furnaces which could produce 1-5 million tons
a, year if operated to their rated capacity. Actual production of 1,168,839 tons in 1940 showed an
operating rate of about 78 per cent. Only 9 furnaces were put in blast during the year; the
furnace remaining out of blast is rated at 300 tons a day but has been inactive for several years.
FERRO-ALLOYS
Ferro-alloys were made in 1940 by 11 different concerns, 5 of which recovered ferrosilicon as a
by-product in the manufacture of abrasives. Output of ferro-alloys in 1940 amounted to 133,388
tons, a gain of 74 per cent over the 76,375 tons reported for 1939.
Altogether, ferrosilicon was made in ten different plants, spiegeleisen in two and ferrochrome
in two. Other alloys produced by one firm only included ferromanganese, silicospiegel, silico-
manganese, silicon metal and calcium silicon.
STEEL INGOTS AND CASTINGS

Steel production advanced 45 per cent to 2,012,294 tons in 1940 from 1,384,870 tons in 1939,
the output of steel ingots going to 1,944,313 tons from 1,330,408 tons and steel castings to 67,981
tons from 54,462 tons. Factory sales of ingots and castings totalled 128,506 tons at $12,616,483.
Thirty steel plants were in operation during the year. These plants had 97 furnaces, including
46 basic open hearth with an annual capacity of 2,215,071 tons, 48 electric furnaces rated at
267,931 tons and 3 converters at 2,750 tons. Of the 30 companies, 18 made electric castings only,
3 made electric ingots only, 2 made basic open hearth ingots only, 2 made converter castings
only, 1 made electric and converter castings, 1 made basic ingots and castings, 1 made basic
ingots and castings and electric ingots, 2 made basic ingots and castings and electric castings.
Operating steel furnaces in 1940 used 967,134 tons of pig iron, 1,185,277 tons of scrap iron or
steel, 130,052 tons of ore, 165,975 short tons of limestone, 81,233 short tons of dolomite, 69,206
short tons of lime, 32,243 short tons of silica sand, 13,673 short tons of magnesite and 32,207 tons
of ferro-alloys.
ROLLED AND DRAWN STEEL
In 1940 there were 13 hot rolling mill plants in operation, 1 cold rolling plant and 2 mills
making cold drawn shapes. Nine of these mills were in Ontario, 3 in Nova Scotia, 3 in Quebec and
1in Manitoba. In addition, 1 rolling mill in Ontario and 1 in Alberta were idle throughout the
year.
Rolling mill sales advanced 46 per cent to $85,907,967 from $58,978,429 in 1939. The main
items sold during the year under review were—326,280 tons of hot rolled bars at $23,078,104;
281,616 tons of plate, sheet, hoop, band and strip at $23,143,298; 212,386 tons of rails and rail
fastenings at $10,135,840; 193,445 semi-finished rolled forms, such as, blooms, billets, ete., at
$8,707,852; 160,963 tons structural shapes at $8,667,678; 117,192 tons wire rods at $5,305,124, ete.

LITHIUM
The principal commercial lithium ores are amblygonite, a fluophosp

hate of lithium and
aluminium; spodumene, a silicate of these two elements, and lepidolite,
or lithia mica, also a
silicate. The lithia content of these minerals, as mined, commonly ranges
around 8 to 9 per cent
for amblygonite, 4 to 7 per cent for spodumene, and 3 to 5 per cent
for lepidolite. All of the above
4
minerals are known to occur in Canada but there has, as yet, been only a small production, mainly
of lepidolite and spodumene. The important deposits are all in Manitoba in the southeastern
part of the province. The first commercial shipment of Canadian lithium ore to be officially
recorded was reported during 1937. This production came from deposits located at Bernice Lake,
Manitoba, and was valued at $1,694; the mineral was consigned to the United States for the
manufacture of lithium compounds and possible lithium metal. No commercial shipments of
lithium ores from Canadian mines were reported in either 1939 or 1940. Operations were resumed
late in 1939 and continued in 1940 at the Bernice Lake lithium deposits of the Lithium Corporation
of Canada Limited; and it was reported that commercial shipments of lithium ore might be
resumed.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, quoted lithium metal, June, 1941, per pound,
98 to 99 per cent 100 pound lots, $15. Amblygonite was quoted, June, 1941, per ton f.o.b. mines
8 to 9 per cent Li,O, $40. Lepidolite, per ton, $24 to $25 for ordinary grades, lump, f.o.b. mines.
Statistics relating to possible imports of lithium, lithium ores or lithium compounds are not
shown separately in Canadian trade reports.
MAGNESIUM
No magnesium metal has been commercially produced in Canada during recent years.
However, in 1918 the manufacture in the Dominion of metallic magnesium was undertaken by the
Shawinigan Electro Metals Company Limited at Shawinigan Falls, Quebec, from imported
magnesium chloride salts. It is also stated that during the period 1916-1918, the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, produced approximately 100 tons of metallic
magnesium at Trail, British Columbia, from imported magnesium chloride. This same Company
reported that in 1939 the development of an improved process on a semi-commercial scale for the
production of magnesium at Trail had been successfully concluded.
In 1940 considerable interest was taken in the possibility of developing Canadian brucite-
bearing deposits for their magnesium content and it was reported early in 1941 that such deposits
occurring in the lower Gatineau River Valley of the province of Quebec were being investigated
by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa as to their economic importance as a source of magnesium ores
It was later reported that these deposits were expected to come into commercial production in
1941.
Primary magnesium production in the United States during 1940 totalled 12,500,000 pounds,
the largest output in the history of the domestic industry, according to the Bureau of Mines,
United States Department of the Interior. The 1940 output was 87 per cent above the previous
peak of 6,700,000 pounds attained in 1939. The Dow Chemical Company, at present the sole
domestic producer of magnesium, expects to produce 30,000,000 pounds of metal in 1941. In
February, 1940 the Company doubled capacity of its plant at Midland, Michigan, which utilizes
magnesium chloride derived from underground brine and in January, 1941 production was begun
at a newly constructed plant at Freeport, Texas, which employs sea water as the raw material.
Since magnesium metal began to play a vital role in the construction of aircraft, attention has
been focused upon world production. While official data are not available, it is believed that
total world magnesium output did not exceed 45,000 short tons in 1940, The world producers
in 1940 in apparent order of importance are Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States,
Japan, France, U.S.S.R., Italy and Switzerland. According to sources believed to be reliable,
production in Germany, the largest world producer, was between 18,000 and 21,000 tons in 1940.
Germany employed carnallite, potash end-liquor, and some magnesite and dolomite as raw
material in the production of its magnesium. The electrolytic magnesium chloride process was
employed but experiments were recently begun on the direct thermal reduction of magnesium
oxide. German uses for magnesium, due to the local lack of certain other metals, include telephone
switch parts, optical instruments, microscopes, bus bars and aerial bombs. In the manufacture of
engraving plates, copper-zine alloys have been replaced by magnesium alloys. Automobiles,
street-cars, and tanks are understood to offer some of the most important outlets for the present
German supply of magnesium alloy.

metal consumed by this industry was lost in the manufacturing process. This high loss is due to
the fact that magnesium oxidizes readily at temperatures above the melting point. The gross
weight of finished structural products was 5,916,120 pounds, of which 5,475,530 pounds were sold
or used. .
In June, 1941 ‘Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York, stated that tremendously increased
requirements for aircraft and other military uses calls for a productive capacity in the United
States of about 400,000,000 pounds of magnesium a year by the end of 1942, according to the
Office of Production Management. It is expected that negotiations for the construction of new
facilities will be carried on by the United States War Department, the Defence Plant Corpor-
ation and seven or more companies producing or interested in production of magnesium metal.

Imports of magnesium oxide into Canada during 1940 totalled 235,650 pounds valued at
$38,894 compared with 268,813 pounds at $32,030 in 1939; data relating to imports of magnesium
metal into Canada are not published separately. Imports of magnesium alloys into the Dominion
in 1940 were appraised at $1,602.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—Prices September 21, 1939, and June, 1941,

MANGANESE ORE
The Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, reports that the manganese ores, which
have been mined in Canada are pyrolusite, manganite, psilomelane, and bog manganese. These,
with the exception of the bog manganese, were mostly ores with a high manganese content and
fairly free from deleterious constituents. They were usually in small lots and were derived from
various localities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British Columbia. °
Although manganese is used in both the ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgical industries, the
bulk is consumed in the manufacture of iron and steel. Most of the ore entering this industry
is used in the manufacture of ferromanganese and spiegeleisen, the forms in which manganese is
usually added to steel. A considerable quantity of manganese ore is used by producers of storage
batteries and certain manganese ores are used by the chemical, ceramic, and glass industries.
re
A small quantity of manganese ore was produced during 1940 in the Dean and Chapter
mines located at New Ross, Lunenburg Co., Nova Scotia. These deposits were worked in 1940
from May 15 to November 30 by the Atlantic Manganese Corporation Limited. In the same
province, East Mountain Mining Company extracted and stock piled some high-grade ore from a
property near Truro, and in January, 1941 the Company started to erect a reduction plant at
Truro to produce metallic manganese by the electro-thermite process. Some recently discovered
large bog ore deposits in Cape Breton were prospected in 1940. In New Brunswick, the Sussex
Manganese Mining Company Limited reported that prospecting and surface work were con-
ducted during November and December on its property near Sussex. The Company stated
that results were encouraging and that it intended to resume operations in 1941. On the Mag-
dalen Islands, Quebec, both surface and underground work on a manganese deposit were carried
on in 1940 by the Magdalen Manganese mines; no commercial shipments were made but the
Company reported that some 1,200 tons of crude ore were mined; bulk samples from these oper-
ations were tested in Ottawa by the Bureau of Mines. In Manitoba, several bog manganese
deposits were prospected, mainly in the vicinity of Riding Mountain, near Rossburn and Birtle.
During 1940 manganese bearing deposits were also prospected in British Columbia; these were
located near Kaslo, Arrowhead and Williams Lake. Samples of manganese ore of varying grade
were received in Ottawa from other localities in British Columbia.
Engineering and Mining Journal’s ‘‘Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—quoted
manganese ore, August 31, 1939, as follows—per long ton unit of manganese, ¢c.i.f. North Atlantic
ports, cargo lots, exclusive of duty: Brazilian, 46 to 48 per cent manganese, 27 cents; Chilian, 47
per cent minimum, 27 cents; Indian, 48 to 50 per cent, 28 cents; Caucasian, 52 to 55 per cent, 29
cents; South African, 50 to 52 per cent, 28 cents; 44 to 48 per cent, 24 cents. Prices June, 1941,
were: Brazilian, 46 per cent manganese, 65 cents; Chilian, 48 per cent manganese, 70 cents;
Indian, 48 to 50 per cent manganese, nominal; South African, 50 to 52 per cent manganese, 70
cents; Cuban, 45 to 47 per cent manganese, not dutiable, 75 cents; 50 to 52 per cent. 80 cents.
» Prices nominal.
Imports into Canada of manganese oxide during 1940 totalled 140,920,100 pounds valued at
$777,416 compared with 59,573,600 pounds at $621,931 in 1939. Of the 1940 imports, 131,100,400
pounds came from the Gold Coast and 7,062,800 pounds from the United States.

The total production of manganese ore in Canada since 1886 totalled 16,529 short tons valued
at $463,013. The largest annual tonnage in those years was 1,801 in 1888 and the greatest annual
value was $89,544 for 957 tons produced in 1916.

MERCURY
Canada’s production of mercury is principally from a deposit at Pinchi Lake in the Omineca
mining division, British Columbia. This property is owned and operated by the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd. In addition to the recovery of the metal made
at Pinchi Lake, there were relatively small quantities recovered in the same province in the Bridge
River district by Empire Mercury Mines Limited and by Douglas B. Sterrett at Tunlawa
Lake
in the Kamloops M.D.
Production of mercury in the United States during 1940 more than doubled under the stim-
ulus of a record-breaking average price for the year, according to the annual summary of the in-
dustry by the United States Bureau of Mines. Final figures indicate that 37,777 flasks of mercury
were produced in 1940, the largest since 1883. Imports into the United States for consumption
amounted to 171 flasks in 1940. Exports of quick silver from the United States in 1940 agegre-
gated 9,617 flasks, of which 5,178 flasks went to the United Kingdom, 1,598 to Japan, 775 to
Canada and 666 to Australia. The Engineering & Mining Journal average price for mercury,
New York, for 1940 was $176-865 per flask, against $103-940 in 1939 and $75-469 in
1938. The
New York price, June, 1941, per flask of 76 pounds was $184 to $186.
“The only known deposits of cinnabar in Canada are in British Columbia, by far the most
important development being that on the northwest side of Pinchi Lake, Omineca Mining Divi-
sion, about 40 miles north of Vanderhoof Station on the Canadian National Railway. The
deposit was discovered in the summer of 1937 by J. G. Gray of the Geological Survey,
Ottawa,
and claims were staked in May, 1938, by A. J. Ostram and others. Late in that year they were
optioned to Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company. Prospecting disclosed large cinnabar-
bearing areas in veins and impregnations mainly in dolomitized and brecciated limestone
along
zones of fracturing and shearing. A roasting and condensing plant was erected, and
production
was started in June, 1940. The grade of ore treated is between 0-5 and 0-75 per cent mercury.
Prior to the discovery of the Pinchi Lake deposits, little mercury was produced in Canada
and _
their successful operation has brought about a complete change in the Canadian situation
in
respect to the metal. The output is now far in excess of the domestic requirements and the ore
reserves are estimated to be sufficient to assure continuous output at the present rate for
several
years.”’ (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).
Canadian Production of mercury comes entirely from British Columbia and in 1940 totalled
153,830 pounds valued at $369,317 compared with 436 pounds at $1,226 in 1939.

MOLYBDENITE
Molybdenite ore is the chief source of the metal molybdenum, the mineral, a
soft steel-blue
coloured sulphide, is usually found in pegmatite dykes and along the contacts of
limestone and
gneiss. The metal is employed chiefly in the manufacture of special alloy steels.
Canadian mine shipments of molybdenite concentrates totalling 22,251 pounds
valued at
$10,280 in 1940 came entirely from the Moss mine, Quyon, Que. and were
made by the Quyon
Molybdenite Co. Limited. This Company also manufactured molybdenum oxide in 1940.
In addition to the operations conducted in 1940 at the Moss mine, development
work or explor-
ation on molybdenite deposits was reported by the following operators:-Louis
Lefevbre in St.
Samuel Tp., Frontenac County, Quebec; Cheabella Mine Co., Montbeillard
Tp., Quebec; La
Pause Gold Mining Corp. Ltd., La Pause, Quebec; La Reine Molybdenum Mines
Ltd., La Reine
Tp., Abitibi County, Quebec; Norwin Molybdenite Mines Ltd., Eardley Tp.,
Quebec; Canadian
Molybdenite Mines Ltd., Tory Hill and Essonville, Ont.; Nakina Molybdenite Mines Ltd.,
Burrows Lake, Ont.; North American Molybdenum Corp. Ltd., Renfrew County, Ont.; Peter
Stewart, Cranberry eras Manitoba and T. Bentham (Molly claims) Powell River, British
Columbia.
Early in 1941 operations by the Quyon Molybdenite Co. ceased at Quyon, Que., and the whole
property, including the mine, mill and furnace plant was sold to V. Poulin of St. Lambert, Que.
This is the only plant in Canada for the conversion of molybdenite concentrate into suitable
addition agents.
Production of molybdenum in the United States, which had increased progressively from
1933 to 1938 again declined in 1940, according to the Bureau of Mines, United States Department
of the Interior. Although there was a greatly increased demand by domestic consumers, exports
were drastically curtailed, and as a consequence shipments from mines were 22 per cent less than
in 1939, which, however, was an all-time high.
About 77 per cent of the United States output of molbydenum came from the operation
of the Climax Molybdenum Co. in Lake County, Colo. Production of molybdenum concentrates
was also reported from Arizona, California, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington.
Concentrates shipped from United States mines in 1940 were 25,185,000 pounds of molyb-
denum with an estimated value of $17,100,000, as compared with 32,415,000 pounds with an esti-
mated value of $22,157,000 in 1939.
Exports of molybdenum concentrates from the United States in 1940 were 6,339 short tons,
of which 2,650 tons went to France, 1,993 to the United Kingdom, 825 tons to Italy, and the
remainder (871 tons) to Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Sweden, and the U.S.S.R.
For most purposes molybdenite (MoS) is converted, before using, to ferromolybdenum or to
calcium molybdate (a compound resulting from the roasting of molybdenite with lime and con-
taining 35 to 45 per cent molybdenum). The latter, states the United States Bureau of Mines,
is the cheaper method of preparing molybdenum for industrial applications. Molybdenum oxide
in briquets is also used in making molybdenum additions to iron and steel. Improved processes
of heat-treating and fabricating high-speed tool steels in which part of the tungsten has been
replaced by molybdenum have increased the use of molybdenum in this field.
The only data published as relating to Canadian imports of molybdenum are those pertaining
to calcium molybdate. Calcium molybdate imported into Canada during 1940 by manufacturers
of steel for use exclusively in the manufacture of steel in their own factories totalled 461,748 pounds
valued at $333,211 compared with 222,990 pounds worth $136,321 in 1939. Imports during
both years came entirely from the United States. Imports into Canada of alloys used in the
manufacture of steel or iron n.o.p. totalled 3,564,100 pounds valued at $1,277,039 in 1940; some
of these may have contained molybdenum.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—quoted molybdenum ore June, 1941—per
pound of contained Mos), 90 per cent concentrate, 45 cents f.o.b. mines; London—per long ton
unit, nominal at 45s for 85 to 90 per cent concentrate. Molybdenum per pound, 99 per cent,
$2.60 to $3.00. Ferromolybdenum per pound of Mo, f.o.b. shipping point, 55 to 65 Mo, 95
cents. Calcium molybdate, per pound of contained Mo, 80 cents.

RADIUM-URANIUM
The recovery of both radium and uranium in Canada is made in the refinery of Eldorado
Gold Mines Limited located at Port Hope, Ontario. Pitchblende concentrates treated in this
plant are obtained from the mine of the Company which is situated on Great Bear Lake, North-
west Territories, During the year under review the refinery was in steady production, but oper-
ations at the mine were discontinued from June 18 owing to a temporary surplus accumulation
of concentrates. Important quantities of silver and some copper also occur with the pitchblende
at the Eldorado mine and these metals, in the form of concentrates, are shipped principally to
the metallurgical works of other firms for the recovery of the silver and copper content. The
total value of radium and uranium products made at the Port Hope refinery in 1940 was $410,176
compared with $1,121,553 in 1939.
No radium-uranium mining operations other than those at the Eldorado mine, were reported
in 1940.
The 1940 Minerals Year Book of the United States Bureau of Mines reported on radium as
follows:
“The agreement between the Union Miniére du Haut Katanga of Belgium and Eldorado
Gold Mines, Ltd., of Canada, dividing world markets for radium in a 60:40 ratio, is said to have
remained in force during 1940. World events, however, virtually eliminated the continent of
Europe as a market for radium, and stocks sent to the United States for safekeeping are reported
to be more than adequate to meet any anticipated requirements during the next several years.
Normal sales for medical purposes in the United States are estimated at less than 25 grams a year.
Luminous paints, which are used on instrument dials for airplane and other military equipment,
do not require very large quantities, because a little radium goes a long way. One gram, for
example, will furnish all the luminous paint needed for several thousand planes. Metal radio-
graphy seems to be growing more important and may be used extensively for the examination of
castings, forgings, and other metal parts for munitions, but inasmuch as the radium for these
purposes can be used repeatedly and can be transported readily from place to place, 5-or 10-gram
lots at a few strategic locations could take care of national defense requirements.
“Owing to a sharp decline in world demand for radium and uranium the Canadian producer
stopped all operations at Great Bear Lake in June, 1940. Early reports implied that the shut-
down might be brief—only long enough for refinery and sales development to catch up with
recent increases in ore output—but later advices indicated that the mine might remain closed at
least 2 or 3 years. It is stated that the mine is in excellent condition and that ore reserves are
ample to keep the concentrator (100-ton daily capacity) in operation for a long time. During
the winter of 1939-40 flotation equipment for cleaning pitchblende was flown in by plane, and
other additions and changes were made to increase the efficiency of the mill. Refining capacity
at Port Hope, Ontario, was expanded before the end of 1939 to 8 grams of radium and 40 tons
of
uranium compounds a month. It was rumored that stocks of ore and material in process at Port
Hope were ample to keep the refinery busy for 3 years or more. Moreover, it was announced
that uranium concentrates from the United States had been received for treatment upon a custom
basis.
“Although the radium refinery at Oolen, near Antwerp, fell into German hands upon the
surrender of Belgium the mines in Belgian Congo did not come under Hitler’s control, and the
colonial government decided to permit shipments of copper and other metals and mineral
pro-
ducts to Great Britain and the United States. Imports into the United States of uranium com-
pounds dropped to 240,199 pounds valued at $388,355 in 1940 compared with a maximum of
1,439,324 pounds with a value of $1,197,786 in 1939, whereas imports of ‘uranium ore’’, normally
negligible (5 pounds valued at $10 in 1939) jumped to 2,400,198 pounds valued at $2,110,927 in
1940; all came from Belgian Congo.
“The price of radium advanced slightly to $30 a milligram early in 1940, then remained
unchanged throughout the remainder of the year. Imports aggregated only 30-311 grams valued
at $24,700 a gram in 1940 compared with 78-631 grams valued at $24,800 a gram in 1939 and
38-75 grams valued at $20-300 a gram in 1938.
“About 85 per cent of the world radium output is employed for medical purposes, 10 per cent
in luminous material, and 5 per cent for miscellaneous uses, including the inspection of metal
castings and forgings for inner flaws.”
>
The ceramic industry is the largest user of uranium salts, which are employed for the colour-
ing of ceramics and glass. Considerable interest has recently been taken in the separation from
uranium metal of its usual content of one per cent of isotope and in what may be done or perhaps
is being done in the utilization of energy obtained in splitting of this atom.
Imports of radium into Canada during 1940 were valued at $22,360 compared with $15,929
in 1939; data on Canadian exports are not published.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—quoted radium May, 1941—per mg. radium
content $25 to $30, as to quantity. June, 1941, New York quotations for uranium were—black
oxide kgs. $2.55—per pound; yellow kgs. $1.65—per pound.
SELENIUM
Selenium production in Canada represents a by-product in the electrolytic refining of blister

and anode copper made from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec ores. It is recovered
at Copper Cliff, Ontario by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Ltd., and at Montreal
East, Quebec, by the Canadian Copper Refiners, Ltd. Production in 1940 totalled 179,860
pounds valued at $343,533.
The Minerals Year Book of the United States Bureau of Mines for 1940 reports on selenium
as follows:
“Consumption of selenium in glassmaking, by far the leading use, increased in 1940, and
several of the numerous minor applications expanded.
“Both selenium and tellurium are employed to improve the machinability of copper and
copper alloys and to a very small extent as modifying agents in corrosion-resistant steels. Addi-
tions of selenium have been made successfully to 18/8 steels whose work-hardening properties
tend to develop extreme surface hardness as soon as they are cast or otherwise worked, the
improvement being similar to that obtained by additions of sulphur and without the deleterious
effect of sulphur on corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Fansteel Metallurgical Cor-
poration (North Chicago, III.) has announced a new line of industrial rectifiers employing selenium
plates. Suggested applications include supply of current for magnetic clutches, solenoid valves,
alarm signal and communic¢tion systems, and isolated direct-current motors. The International
Telephone Development Co. (New York, N.Y.) is also reported to be using selenium rectifiers.”
Consumption of selenium in the manufacture of glass in Canada during 1940 was estimated
at 4,532 pounds as compared with 4,243 pounds in 1939. Prices in the United States in 1940 for
selenium (black, powdered 99-5 per cent) remained at $1.75 per pound. Barium selenite
(BaSeO;) was quoted in Glass Industry at $1.50 to $1.60 a pound with commercial (25 per cent
Se.) at $0.85 a pound, and sodium selenite (Na:SeO;) at $1.50 to $1.65 a pound.
General statistics on employment, etc., as relating to the production of both selenium and
tellurium are included with those compiled for the Canadian non-ferrous smelting and refining
industry.
Complete data pertaining to world production of selenium and tellurium are not available.

TELLURIUM
As with selenium, the metal is recovered in Canada as a by-product in the electrolytic-

refining of anode copper at Montreal East, Quebec, by Canadian Copper Refiners, Limited, and at
Copper Cliff, Ontario by the International Nickel Company of Canada, Limited. The production
in Ontario represents the recovery of the metal solely from nickel-copper ores; whereas, at Montreal
East the metal originated in copper-gold ores mined in Manitcba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec.
No commercial production was reported in Quebec. |
The United States Bureau of Mines Yearbook for 1940 reported on tellurium as follows:
“Small but steadily growing quantities of tellurium are used to toughen rubber and lead.
Tellurium lead has been in service long enough now to confirm by practical tests the claims as to
its extraordinary resistance to corrosion, wear, and mechanical break-down, which are all the more
remarkable in view of the fact that it differs in composition from ordinary good chemical lead
only by an addition of less than 0-1 per cent tellurium. Small additions of tellurium, in this
instance about 0-5 per cent, are employed in two new free-machining forgeable alloys of copper
recently developed and patented by the Chase Brass & Copper Co. Another new development is
to improve the quality and lengthen the useful life of chilled-iron car wheels; this is accomplished
by introducing very small quantities of graphite and tellurium in correct proportion and balance
into each ladle as the metal is poured. A newly patented ‘daylight lamp”’ employs tellurium
vapor in a tube to fill in certain wave lengths to produce a continuous spectrum. The price of
tellurium remained at $1.75 per pound in 1940”.
In 1940 Canadian steel foundries consumed 400 pounds of tellurium and white metal foundries
629 pounds. Data relating to Canadian imports and exports of tellurium are not published separ-
ately in trade reports.

TIN
Tin is known to occur in the Snowflake and Sullivan mines in British Columbia and in certain
pegmatites in southeastern Manitoba. It has also been reported at New Ross, Nova Scotia.
No tin ore deposits have been worked or tin ore production recorded in Canada during recent
years. No official reports of any primary tin production in Canada were received in 1940 and no
development of any Canadian tin bearing deposits was reported.
The only commercial tin ore smelter in the Western Hemisphere in 1940 was in Argentina.
In May, 1941 “Metal and Mineral Markets’”—Engineering & Mining Journal”, New York,
reported that the tin processing corporation has awarded a contract for construction of a tin
smelter at Texas City, Texas; construction of the plant will commence soon and the project
sponsored by the Government will cost $3,500,000.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA WI
TANTALUM-COLUMBIUM
Neither tantalum nor columbium ores are commercially produced in Canada, however, it is
interesting to note that the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, reports that columbite-
tantalite has been found in small quantities in a number of feldspar mines in the Dominion.
Ferrocolumbium is used in the manufacture of stainless steels and it has been reported that
the pure metal may be utilized in the construction of certain vacuum tubes.
Tantalum is strongly resistant to acid corrosion, is weldable and easily fabricated. It is used
in chemical process equipment and electronic tubes. Due to its hardness and high melting point,
tantalum carbide is a constituent of hard cutting-tool mixtures. Ferrocolumbium has become
an important alloy for the manufacture of weldable high-speed steels.
The United States Bureau of Mines Yearbook for 1940 states:
“Both columbium and tantalum are used indirectly in the manufacture of munitions and to a
minor extent directly. Total imports of tantalum ores in 1940 jumped to 490,460 pounds com-
pared with only 56,561 in 1939, the previous high record. Owing to collapse of markets in
Europe, tantalum ores from Belgian Congo and other African sources, as well as from Brazil,
came to the United States during the latter part of 1940. Such ores substantially augmented
available supplies of tantalum, but the fact that they contained more columbium than those from
Australia is indicated by a decline in the average value of the imports to less than 53 cents a
pound from $1.47 in the preceding year. Imports of columbium ore, including rather small
quantities from other countries than Nigeria, which hitherto has furnished virtually all the
imports into the United States, advanced to 595,220 pounds, more than five times the quantity
imported in 1939 but substantially less than the annual imports during the preceding 4 years
Early in 1941, the Fansteel Metallurgical Corporation, pioneer domestic producer of tantalum
metal, was expanding its North Chicago (Ill.) plant at an estimated cost of $150,000. Vascoloy-
Ramet Corporation, Jersey City, N.J.. a subsidiary, was also expanding manufacturing facilities,
according to press reports.
“Tantalum metal was quoted in the United States throughout the year at $160.69 (base) a
kilogram for C.P. rod and $143 for sheet, subject to discounts on volume business. Correspond-
ing figures for columbium metal were $560 a kilogram for rod and $500 for sheet. Ferrocolum-
bium, 50 to 55 per cent, was quoted at $2.25 to $2.35 a pound of columbium contained (f.o.b.
producer’s plant).’’
Data relating to possible imports of tantalum and columbium metals or ores into Canada are
not shown separately in trade reports. Metal and Mineral Markets—New York—June,
1941 quoted Columbium Metal—per kilo, base prices: rod $560; sheet $500. Tantalum metal
per kilo, base price, $160.60 for C.P. rod. Sheet, $143. Tantalum ore per pound Ta20;, $2.00 to
$2.50 for 60 per cent concentrate, the price depending on source of supply.
TITANIUM
Ilmenite, the titanium ore so largely employed in the manufacture of pigments, is known
to occur at several places in Canada and commercial shipments of the mineral have been made
during the past years from deposits located at St. Urbain and Ivry in the province of Quebec.
During 1939, Canadian production came entirely from St. Urbain, Quebec, and totalled 3,694
short tons valued at $21,267; the mineral was consigned chiefly to the United States. The
Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reports that the ilmenite deposits of St. Urbain and Ivry carry from
18 to 25 per cent titanium. Rutile occurs in some of the St. Urbain deposits.
The United States Bureau of Mines Yearbook for 1940 states:
“The feature of the titanium industry in 1940 was the phenomenal rise in ocean freight on
imported ilmenite. The bulk of the ilmenite consumed in the United States for making pigments
and much of that for alloys and miscellaneous uses is imported from British India. A much
larger proportion of the domestic consumption of rutile—chiefly for welding-rod coatings and
ceramics—is produced in the United States, and substantial quantities of processed rutile of
domestic as well as of foreign origin are exported from this country.
“Although the price of ilmenite f.o.b. Travancore actually declined further duriug 1940
(average invoice value of imports a long ton: $3.75 in 1940, $4.40 in. 1939, and $5.05 in 1938),
quotations delivered c.if. U. 8. Atlantic ports advanced during the summer to $18 to $20 a gross
ton. Owing to the higher ocean freight and marine insurance, this quotation continued nominal
throughout the remainder of the year; it compares with $10 to $12 during 1939 and earlier years.
~“Tmports of ilmenite declined late in the vear, whereas consumption probably increased, as
it
was encouraged not only by the acceleration of general industrial activity but also by the necessity
for conserving zinc and perhaps lead, thus speeding further substitution of titanium pigments for
competitive materials. Consideration has been given to the wider use of ferrotitanium in steel-
making as a means of conserving ferro-manganese. Mention may be made also of Grainal
alloys—complex deoxidizers that contain aluminium, titanium and a hardening agent such as
vanadium, the titanium functioning to protect and intensify the hardening effect of the vanadium
so that less of this more expensive element can be used. As the aluminium and titanium develop
fine-grained metal by deoxidization, metal so treated develops a desirable combination of strength
and ductility, as well as strength and hardness when quenched and drawn. This treatment is
applied chiefly to forging steels containing about 0-4 per cent carbon and 1-8 per cent manganese.
“The high opacity and hiding power of titanium pigments are utilized not alone in paint and
decorative coatings but to an increasing extent in paper, rubber, cosmetics, rayon, and
other
products. In paper-making they can be dispersed in starch, glue, and casein size, and their ready
retention in paper pulps permits their addition as beater fillers—improving opacity,
color, and
brightness with a minimum of loading.”’
Imports into Canada of antimony oxide, titanium oxide and white pigments containing not
less than 14 per cent by weight of titanium totalled 8,700,015 pounds valued at $782,957 in 1940
compared with 9,003,693 pounds at $803,198 in 1939. Of the 1940 imports, 477,912 pounds came
from the United Kingdom and 8,292,103 pounds from the United States. No imports into
Canada
of titanium ore or rutile were recorded in 1940.
Engineering and Mining Journal Metal and Mineral Markets New York, quoted titanium
ore, June, 1941, per gross ton; ilmenite 54 to 60 per cent TiO2, f.0.b. Atlantic seaboard, $28
to $30,
according to grade and impurities. Rutile per pound, guaranteed minimum 94 per cent concen-
trate 8 to 10 cents, nominal; 88 to 90 per cent, $95 per ton c.i.f. New York.

Nore:—Neither titanium white nor titanium alloys are commercally produced in Canada.
In 1940 there were 118 tons of ferrotitanium valued at $24,233 consumed in the manufacture
of steel in Canada.
TUNGSTEN
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, states that occurrences of tungsten-bearing minerals, usually
in the form of scheelite, are known in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia,
and in the Yukon Territory.
In 1939, for the first time in several years, commercial shipments of tungsten concentrates
were made from a Canadian mine. These totalled 8,825 pounds valued at $4,917 and were pro-
duced by Columbia Tungstens Company, Limited, at its property located at Wells, Cariboo
Mining Division, British Columbia. Only development work was conducted by this Company
in 1940. Early in 1940 a shipment of tungsten concentrates was made by the Kirkpatrick
Tungsten Syndicate from a deposit at Goff, Halifax County, Nova Scotia. Late in 1939 the
tungsten property of the Indian Path Mines, Limited, located near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia,
was optioned to Siscoe Gold Mines Limited, who carried out diamond drilling and large scale bulk
testing from the underground workings on the east and west ends of the property. Work on this
property was discontinued by Siscoe Gold Mines early in 1941. At Upper Lakeville, Halifax
County, Nova Scotia, exploration work was conducted by Guysborough Mines Ltd., on the
tungsten-bearing deposits of the Lake Charlotte Gold Mines Limited. In Ontario, the Bureau
Hollinger
of Mines, Ottawa, recovered tungsten minerals in 1941 from ores shipped from the
Ontario, and from the Tungsten Queen mine (E. Phillips), Tyaughton Creek,
Mine, Timmins,
Lillooet M.D., British Columbia.
Tungsten also occurs in the veins of the Slave Lake Gold Mines Ltd., Outpost Island, Slave
Lake, Northwest Territories; this property was under development in 1940.
dis-
According to the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, much interest has been aroused in recent
Yellow-
coveries of scheelite in quartz-dionite stringers near Gilmour Lake, about 50 miles east of
knife Settlement in the Northwest Territories. A 200-pound sample sent to Ottawa early in 1941
assayed 8-9 per cent WOs.

Scheelite also occurs in Ontario in association with gold at the properties of Preston
Leitch Gold Mines Limited, Thunder Bay district;
Dome Mines Limited, South Porcupine;
Mioatadhrewsn Consolidated Mines, Matachewan district, and McKenzie Red Lake Gold Mines
Limited, Red Lake.
The principal use for tungsten is in the manufacture of high-speed tool steels. It is also
employed in certain non-ferrous alloys and special alloy steels. Tungsten carbide cemented with
cobalt is used extensively in industry and recent developments include several special grades,
including combinations of tungsten carbide and tantalum carbide cement with cobalt or nickel
or both, also combinations of tungsten carbide and titanium carbide cemented with cobalt.
Tungsten is also utilized in the making of lamp filaments, radio tube filaments and contact points
in electrical apparatus; in the chemical industry it is employed in the manufacture of certain
types of dyes (lakes), and mordants.
Stimulated by defence activities, production of tungsten ore and concentrates in the United
States in 1940 increased 42 per cent over 1939, according to the Bureau of Mines, United States
Department of the Interior. Shipments from domestic mines, which were 24 per cent more than
in 1939, were not only the largest since 1917 but have been exceeded in only one other year—1916.
In 1940, 5,319 short tons of concentrated ore (reduced to an equivalent of 60 per cent WO;)
were shipped from United States mines, compared with 4,287 tons in 1939. The reported average
value per unit, f.o.b. mines, of the tungsten concentrates shipped increased to $20.61 in 1940 from
$17.11 in 1939. Shipments of tungsten concentrates were made from Arizona, California, Col-
orado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington in
1940; Cali-
fornia replaced Nevada as the largest tungsten producer in 1940.
Production of tungsten concentrates (reduced to an equivalent of 60 per cent WO;) in
the
United States, was 5,120 short tons in 1940 compared with 3,603 tons in 1939.
General imports of tungsten ore and concentrates (tungsten content) into the United States
in 1940 increased 211 per cent over 1939 and amounted to 9,666,228 pounds.
In addition to the ore and concentrates imported for consumption, 1,348,495 pounds
of
tungsten in concentrates were imported. for smelting, refining and export in 1940 compared
with
589,828 pounds in 1939.
Imports of tungsten metal and tungsten carbide into the United States in 1940 were 36,652
pounds (metallic content) compared with 39,498 pounds in 1939. There were no imports of
tungstic acid and other compounds of tungsten in 1940.
United States exports of tungsten metal, wire, shapes, and alloys other than ferrotungsten
(for which export data are not available) increased to 237,940 pounds in 1940 from 195,002
pounds
in 19389.

In 1940 there were 336 long tons of ferrotungsten valued at $829,859 consumed in Canada in
the manufacture of steel. Also in 1940 there were 15,474 pounds of tungsten metal used in the
manufacture of steel and other alloys (not including tungsten-chromium alloy).
Engineering and Mining Journal Metal and Mineral Markets, New York, quoted Tung-
sten ore June, 1941, as follows: Per short ton, unit of WO;: Chinese, duty paid, f.o.b. New York,
$24.00. Bolivian, Portuguese, etc., duty paid, $24.00, nominal. Domestic scheelite delivered to
buyer’s plant, $23.00 to $24.00, carload lots, on good known analysis; at mines, small lots, several
dollars less.
Canadian production of tungsten concentrates in 1940 totalled 12,002 pounds valued at
$7,303 compared with 8,825 pounds worth $4,917 in 1939. For production by provinces see
table 1.
VANADIUM
Some of the magnetites of the Rainy River district in Ontario are known to contain relatively
small quantities of vanadium and some research has been conducted as to its economic recovery.
There is no production of either the metal or its ores in Canada at the present time.
The principal occurrences of vanadium are in Arizona, Colorado, and Utah in the United
States; Minasragra in Peru; Broken Hill in Northern Rhodesia; and Grootfontein district in South
West Africa.
The metal is employed chiefly in the manufacture of alloy steels and irons. It is also used in
the form of ammonia meta-vanadate as a catalyst in the manufacture of sulphuric acid and in
the nonferrous, glass, ceramic and color industries.
Possible imports of vanadium or vanadium ores into Canada are not shown separately in
Canadian trade reports. Metal and Mineral Markets—New York—quoted ferrovanadium, June,
1941—per pound of vanadium contained, delivered $2.70 to $2.90. Vanadium ore per pound V2O;
contained, 274 cents F'.O.B. shipping point.
ZIRCONIUM
The metal is not produced in Canada; zircon is the most common zirconium mineral and
the Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, states that it, or cyrtolite, commonly occurs in
greater or less amount in Canadian Precambrian pegmatites, also in the pegmatitic apatite-
phlogopite deposits of the Grenville areas in Ontario and Quebec.
Zircon is used to a steadily growing extent in refractories, specialized porcelains and heat-
resisting glass. The United States Bureau of Mines Yearbook for 1940 reports on the metal as
follows:
“Metallic zirconium is employed as powder or ductile metal in photo-flash bulbs, radio-
transmitter tubes, ammunition primers, spot welding electrodes, and a variety of other appli-
cations. According to information furnished by the Foote Mineral Co. (1609 Summer St.,
Philadelphia, Pa.), this metal has a unique combination of high corrosion resistance and ability
to absorb large volumes of certain gases. Below 100° C., the metal is immune to attack by some
of the most corrosive agents known. At50U° to 86U°C.itcan absorb great quantities of hydrogen
and at higher temperatures oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
Zirconium, accordingly, is particularly well suited as a “getter” in vacuum tubes and chemical
processes to improve and maintain high vacuum. In steelmaking, zirconium acts as a scavenger
and deoxidizer, removing nitrogen and oxygen as well as nonmetallic inclusions. In the range
0-08 to 0-10 per cent zirconium the improvement in grain is marked, and above 0-15 per cent the
zirconium combines with sulphur to produce a better surface on high-sulphur steels. Cast nickel-
silicon bronze and other non-ferrous alloys may benefit by additions of zirconium.
“An interesting property of zirconium and of titanium metal is that, when drawn across
glass or a glazed ceramic surface, they leave a brilliant, silvery, adherent streak. This affords a
means of decorating high-grade glassware and pottery without the present necessity of using
platinum compounds, followed by a special firing operation.
“Engineering and Mining Journal quotations at the end of 1940 were: Zircon ore, 55 per cent
ZrOz, f.o.b. Atlantic seaboard, carloads, $70 a short ton. Zirconium metal, commercially pure,
powdered, $7 a pound. Zirconium alloys, 12 to 15 per cent Zr, 39 to 43 per cent Si, $102.50 to
$107.50 a gross ton; 35 to 40 per cent Zr, 42 to 52 per cent Si, 14 and 16 cents a pound. These
quotations are the same as those in 1939 except for zircon ore and the lower-grade alloy (ferro-
silicon zirconium). The former remained at $55 a ton until the fourth quarter of the year, when
it began to advance by $5 steps to $70 a ton in early December. The alloy was advanced from
$97.50 to $102.50, where it had remained for a long time, to $102.50 to $107.50 in July”.
There was no commercial production of zirconium minerals in Canada in 1940. Canadian
imports of zirconium silicate in 1940 were valued at $12,795 and those of zirconium oxide at
$65,688. Consumption of ferro-zirconium in 1939 in the manufacture of steel in Canada totalled
19 long tons valued at $2,122.

CHAPTER SIX
THE NON-FERROUS SMELTING AND REFINING INDUSTRY IN CANADA

The Non-Ferrous Smelting and Refining Industry, as defined by
the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, comprises those firms engaged primarily in the smelting
of non-ferrous ores or con-
centrates and the refining of metals recovered therefrom.
The value added by the industry in the processing of crude or

semi-crude material during
1940 totalled $98,059,287 compared with $80,057,833 in the preceding
year. Refined products
included gold, silver, copper. lead, zinc, aluminium, antimony,
bismuth, cobalt, cadmium,
selenium, tellurium, radium salts, uranium compounds and sulphur;
other. end products of
individual plants or companies were copper-nickel matte, cobalt
salts, nickel salts, nickel and
cobalt oxides, arsenious oxide, sulphuric acid, platinum metals
residues, silver sulphide, zine
dust, zine oxide, and blister and anode copper.
The cost of ores, concentrates and other material treated during

1940 was estimated at
$174,274,655 as against a corresponding value of $154,879,498 in 1939;
fuels and purchased
electricity consumed totalled $19,510,664 and the value of chemicals and
various other process
supplies used amounted to $13,515,941.
Capital employed by the industry in 1940 was reported at $234,826,742,

which figure includes
value of land, plant, materials on hand and in process, finished
products and operating funds.
Employees totalled 13,466 and salaries and wages paid aggregate
d $21,766,197 compared with
12,449 and $19,372,119, respectively, in 1939.
The scientific planning and high efficiency with which the Canadian
non-ferrous smelting
and refining industry was developed during recent years is now
being reflected in the Dominion’s
great and increasing contribution of refined metals so necessary
for the manufacture of war
supplies and equipment.
The agreement made in 1939 by the large base metal producers and
the Imperial Government,
by which the producers were to supply the Imperial Governme
nt with copper, lead and zine at
prices which prevailed shortly before the outbreak of the war
was continued in 1940. Canada
can now furnish large quantities of these metals in the refined form,
whereas, in 1914 no refined
copper, nickel or zine and only a comparatively small amount
of refined lead were produced
in this country.

The lead refining capacity of the world, as at the end of 1939, aggregated about 1,072,000
short tons in the United States and about 2,174,000 elsewhere, a grand total of about 3,246,000
tons.
Probably not more than 950,000 tons of the listed capacity in the United States and 1,55u,000
vons elsewhere, a total of 2,500,000 tons, is to be rated as useful and effective, the remainder being
obsolete, incapable of economical ore supply, or otherwise useless. These accountings are
exclusive of capacity in Russia.
Official data for 1938 were not received from Spain, Germany and Japan, and for 1939 there
was an absence of communication for other countries. An estimate of the lead refining capacity
of the world outside of North and South America has been becoming increasingly uncertain
since the second World War commenced.

The American Bureau of Metal Statistics estimates the capacity of American zinc metallurgical works at the end of 1939
as being nominally for the production of about 600,000 short tons of spelter per annum by distilling, including the capacity in
continuously operating vertical retorts, and about 214,000 tons by electrolysis, a total ‘of about 814,000 tons, but the
first-class effective capacity is probably something less than that. The effective capacity outside the United States at

Norr:—In order to correlate data regarding fuels in Canada, this chapter has been prepared
to include statistics of the coal, natural gas, peat and petroleum industries. This survey presents
information regarding these industries as a whole, dealing principally with the mineral industry,
although supplementary data are shown for closely allied manufacturing operations.
The Bureau issues an annual report on Coal Statistics for Canada which may be referred to
for complete details of the Coal Mining Industry. |
THE COAL MINING INDUSTRY
Canadian mines produced 17,566,884 tons of coal valued at $54,675,844 during 1940; in the
preceding year, 15,692,698 tons worth $48,676,990 were produced, while in 1938 the output
totalled 14,294,718 tons worth $43,982,171. Bituminous coal output during 1940 amounted to
13,333,037 tons, sub-bituminous 598,686 tons, and lignite coal 3,635,161 tons. Nova Scotia’s
cdal output rose 11 per cent in 1940 over 1939 to 7,848,921 tons. Production from New Bruns- |
wick mines was 17 per cent higher at 547,064 tons. Manitoba produced 1,697 tons in 1940 as
against 1,138 in 1939. Production from Saskatchewan mines totalled 1,097,517 tons, 14 per cent
over the previous year’s total of 960,000 tons. Alberta’s production aggregated 6,203,839 tons,
made up of 3,069,206 tons of bituminous coal, 598,686 tons of sub-bituminous coal and 2,535,947
tons of lignite coal. In 1939, Alberta mines produced 5,519,208 tons, consisting of 2,556,944 tons
of bituminous coal, 512,101 tons of sub-bituminous coal and 2,450,163 tons of lignite coal.
British Columbia’s output rose 10 per cent to 1,867,846 tons from 1,692,755 tons. No coal was
produced in the Yukon during the year under review. The last year for which any production
was recorded was in 1938 when the output was 361 tons.
Canadian coal exported in 1940 amounted to 504,898 tons; this represented an increase of
34-2 per cent over the tonnage exported a year ago. Ports in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
and Quebec cleared 310,495 tons of Canadian coal in 1940; exportations through the western
ports totalled 194,403 tons. Canada re-exported foreign coal in 1940 to a total of 55,584 tons
compared with 119,487 tons in 1939.
Imports of coal into Canada in 1940 were higher at 17,546,060 tons. Anthracite coal import-
ations during the year amounted to 3,964,862 tons and consisted of 2,643,588 tons from the
United States and 1,321,274 tons from Great Britain. The United States supplied 66-7 per cent
of the Canadian anthracite requirements in 1940 compared with 65-5 per cent in the preceding
year and 48-4 per cent in 1935. Great Britain supplied 33-3 per cent of Canada’s requirements
of this coal during the year 1940, as against 26 per cent in 1939 and 42-1 per cent in 1935. Receipts
of bituminous coal totalled 13,578,705 tons or 37-1 per cent above the 1939 total. Lignite coal
imports amounted to 2,493 tons in 1940.
Employment was furnished by Canadian coal mines to 26,434 people, of whom 25,128 were
wage-earners and 1,306 were salaried employees. Mines in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
employed 14,355 wage-earners, while those in the western provinces employed 10,773. Surface
workers averaged 276 days work in 1940 and underground workers 245 days. All employees
working in and about Canadian coal mines received salaries and wages totalling $34,043,162
compared with $30,720,991 in 1939.
Coal made available for consumption in Canada during the year amounted to 34,608,046 tons
or 18 per cent above the tonnage made available in 1939. These figures do not represent the
53137—9}
quantity consumed during the year but are the actual tonnages of new coal made available for use
in 1940. It was estimated that 33,702,324 tons of coal reached the Canadian market during the
year. In addition to coal consumption, there has been an increase in the development of other
fuels, such as coke, natural and artificial gas, fuel oil and electricity used for industrial purposes.
In addition, wood still occupies a prominent place in Canada’s fuel requirements.

THE COKE AND ARTIFICAL GAS INDUSTRY

Production from coke plants and from illuminating and fuel gas plants in Canada during 1940
was valued at $46,673,660. This output was 19 per cent above the $39,029,570 of the previous
year and set a new record for the industry. Output for the year under review included 3,015,394
tons of coke valued at $21,937,861 at the works, 55,112,521 M cubic feet of gas of which 55,105,172
M cubic feet valued at $20,650,469 were sold or used, and by-products valued at $4,085,330.
Twenty-eight coke and gas works operated in 1940, including 10 by-product and bee-hive
plants and 18 retort coal and water gas plants. Fourteen of these works were located in Ontario,
4in British Columbia, 4 in Quebec, 2 in Manitoba, 2 in Nova Scotia, and 1 in each of New Bruns-
wick and Alberta. In addition to these producers, 1 company in Quebec and 2 in Ontario pur-
chased coke-oven gas and distributed it for domestic or commercial use and data covering their
operations have been included to round out the figures for the industry.
Output of coke from gas retorts, by-product and bee-hive ovens totalled 3,015,394 tons in
1940 compared with 2,410, 095 tons in 1939 and 2,352,003 tons in 1938. By-product and bee-hive
ovens produced, 2,725,873 tons of coke in 1940 and gas retorts made 289,521 tons. In addition,
68,334 tons of petroleum coke were recovered in petroleum refineries.
Data on the distribution of coke (except petroleum coke) by the producers show that 246,816
tons were sold direct to domestic consumers, 1,238,710 tons were used in metallurgical works
operated by the producing companies, 222,877 tons were used by coke plants as fuel or to make
water gas, 507,627 tons were sold direct to consumers for foundry and other uses (other than
domestic), 800,816 tons were sold to dealers for resale, and 36,556 tons were sold for export.
The total distribution was 3,053,402 tons, including about 22,000 tons withdrawn from producers’
stocks during the year. Total stocks of coke in the hands of producers amounted to 289,416
tons at the end of 1940.
Imports of coke made from coal advanced to 719,338 tons in 1940 from 435,871 tons in 1939,
but exports declined to 37,535 tons from 48,719 tons. Imports of petroleum coke during this
period rose to 185,334 tons from 147,690 tons and exports (including re-exports of imported coke)
advanced to 40,433 tons from 35,604 tons.
Manufactured gas, sold and used, amounted to 55,105,172 M cubic feet in 1940, including
45,019,439 M cubic feet from by-product ovens and 10,085,733 M cubic feet from gas plants.
Sales of gas by the producers totalled 15,392,723 M cubic feet, of which 8,744,090 M cubic feet
were from by-product ovens and 6,648,633 M cubic feet were from gas works. Most of the remain-
ing gas was used as a fuel in the producing plants or in their associated metallurgical works.
These figures do not include 41,055 M cubic feet of (Pintsch) oil gas for lighting railway cars,
8,706,834 M cubic feet of still gas recovered at petroleum refineries, nor iron blast furnace gas
and some producer gas which was recoverea and used by the producers but for which no records
are available.
The number of customers served with manufactured illuminating and fuel gas in 1940 was
483,820. the number of active meters was 506,250, the length of distributing mains was 4,062
miles, and the average calorific value of the gas sold ranged from 450 to 570 B.T.U. per cubic foot.

THE NATURAL GAS INDUSTRY
Output of natural gas in Canada in 1940 totalled 41,232,125 thousand cubic feet or 17 per
cent above the 1939 total. This production includes only the natural gas consumed for industrial
and domestic purposes and does not take into account the waste gas burned in the Turner Valley
field and the gas piped to the Bow Island field for re-pressuring.
_ Wells in New Brunswick produced 616,041 thousand cubic feet compared with 606,382
thousand cubic feet in 1939. Approximately 6,100 consumers in Moncton and Hillsborough
were supplied with gas from wells in the Stoney Creek field, near Moncton. There were 42 wells
in operation in this province at the end of 1940.
Ontario’s output rose 9 per cent to 13,053,403 thousand cubic feet from the 1939 production
of 11,966,581 thousand cubic feet. Developments in this province in 1940 were summarized
by Mr. A. R. Crozier, Acting Commissioner of Gas for Ontario as follows:
“Bach month during the year there was a steady increase in industrial consumption, which
was only brought under control late in November by the enactment of a regulation restricting
the installation of gas-fired heating and processing equipment. Most of the industrial expansion
reflects the part being played by Ontario’s many industries in the production of munitions and
materials of war. The industrial consumption for the year 1940 was 2,792,556 M cubic feet, an
increase of 288,602 M cubic feet over the previous year.
“During the year, domestic consumption and the number of consumers showed a consider-
able increase over previous years. The normal annual increase, in past years, has been from 3,000
to 4,000 new consumers, whereas for this year it exceeded 5,000. The domestic consumption for
the year was approximately one billion cubic feet greater than in 1939. This additional consump-
tion of natural gas throughout southwestern Ontario may be accounted for by the influx of
workers to areas where many essential war industries are located. With the increased use of
natural gas there inevitably followed an ever expanding demand for equipment, both new and
used. In order to meet this unprecedented situation and prevent shortage and ensuing hard-
ship, regulations were enacted to control the use of gas.
“Drilling operations slackened slightly during the year; only 311 wells were completed as
compared to 346 in the previous year. Of the total number of wells completed, 233 were drilled
in the search for natural gas and 78 for petroleum. The number of producing wells, however,
was approximately the same as in previous years, indicating that the favourable areas are becom-
ing more restricted. Along with the more or less discouraging drilling results, the independent
drilling operators encountered difficulties in financing, owing to the uncertainties existing during
wartime. On the other hand, the larger natural gas companies put forth greater efforts in an
attempt to develop new or additional supplies of natural gas to meet the ever increasing domestic
and industrial demand.
Purification Plants
“With the development of the Malahide gas field in Malahide township, there followed the
construction of two independently operated purification plants; one owned and operated by the
Union Gas Company of Canada, Limited, and the other by the Central Pipe Line Company,
Limited. The former plant has a capacity of approximately 15,000 M cubic feet per day, and
the latter, 5,000 M cubic feet per day. At each plant impure natural gas containing hydrogen
sulphide (HS) is passed through a lime solution, which removes the hydrogen sulphide. Owing
to considerably reduced capital investment and simplicity of operation, the “lime solution”
method of purifying natural gas has in recent years taken the place of the ‘potash method’.
The “lime solution” method has proved to be very satisfactory and except for the disposal of
the poisonous water from the lime tanks, is generally accepted as the more economical method of
purifying impure natural gas.
Natural Gas Fields
“Possibly no single factor in many years has been more disturbing to the natural gas operator
and industry than the sudden failure of the Brownsville gas field in Dereham township. Early
in the spring of 1940 the production of this field dropped off very sharply, and by the end of the
year many wells were plugged and abandoned, thus creating a shortage of natural gas in those
towns and cities dependent on this area as their main supply. The possibility of rejuvenating
this field, or of extending the producing area, does not appear to hold much promise at the present
time.
“There was little change during the year in the Tilbury field other than a normal decline in
rock pressure and open flow measurements. Over the greater part of the field compressors were
in general use, which greatly increased the daily peak production of this field. Lake drilling
commenced again, and one producing well was completed in Lake Erie, opposite lot 187, Romney
township; it is anticipated that further drilling in Lake Erie will be carried out during the coming
year in the hope of developing additional quantities of gas.
“The Declute field in Raleigh township produced considerable quantities of gas until late in
the year when edge-water encroached at the eastern end of the field, with the result that the
production declined rapidly. By the end of the year both the rock pressure and open flow measure-
ments showed a serious decline.
“In the Dawn field the production was slightly greater than in the previous year. The open
flow stood up much better than in 1939 while the rock pressure showed a greater drop than in
the period 1938-39. Owing to the increased consumption in the City of London, there was a
very heavy pull on the field until the latter part of the year when the wells of the Malahide field
were placed on the line. The production of the Dawn field for the year 1940 was 2,276,346 M
cubic feet, which was slightly greater than in the previous year. .
“The Haldimand field continued to produce natural gas at approximately the same rate as
during 1939 and, other than a normal decline in rock pressure, showed little change from former
years. The number of operating gas wells was 1,601, only one less than for the previous year.
,'
“The Chatham gas field, which was discovered late in 1936 by the Union Gas Company of
Canada, Limited, was for the first time placed in production near the end of the year. Many of
the first wells to be completed were dry. By the end of the year, however, there were 12 produc-
ing gas wells with a total open flow of approximately 5,000 M cubic feet.
“An extensive exploratory drilling program was undertaken in Malahide township in 1938,
which resulted in the discovery in 1939 of what is known as the Malahide gas field, concessions
IV and V, lots 4 to 31 inclusive. At the end of 1940, there were 53 producing wells with a
total open flow of 70 million cubie feet. As in the Brownsville field, a few miles to the north,
the natural gas contains small quantities of hydrogen sulphide, making necessary the erection of
purification plants before the gas can be distributed for either domestic or industrial consumption.
In December, the City of London was being supplied with purified gas from the Malahide field.
“Although in the Welland field the number of producing wells decreased by 25, the production
dropped off by 12 million cubic feet. On the other hand, it must be remembered that this field
has been producing for well over 50 years and it is only to be expected that the productive capacity
will show a slow but steady decline.
There were 208 operating, distributing and drilling firms active in the natural gas industry
in Ontario during 1940. These firms reported a total capital investment of $5,652,374; employ-
ment was furnished by this industry to 1,542 salaried employees and wage-earners.
Saskatchewan produced 100,773 thousand cubic feet of natural gas in 1940 compared with
96,423 thousand cubic feet in the preceding year. The 1940 output was used principally to
supply customers in Lloydminster.
Natural gas production in Alberta totalled 27,459,808 thousand cubic feet in 1940 as com-
pared with 22,513,660 thousand cubic feet in the preceaing year. As stated before, these figures
include only the natural gas consumed for industrial and domestic purposes and do not take into
account the waste gas burned in the Turner Valley field and the gas piped to the Bow Island field
for storage.
The Turner Valley field is the largest natural gas producing area in Canada; this field is
located about 35 miles southwest of Calgary. Industrial and domestic users consumed 20,448,402
thousand cubic feet of Turner Valley gas in 1940; in the previous year, 15,693,314 thousand cubic
feet were used. Approximately 25,000 consumers in Calgary, Lethbridge and the districts were
served with this gas in 1940; in addition, a considerable quantity was used in the field for drilling
purposes. A small quantity of Turner Valley gas was piped to the Bow Island field during the
year for re-pressuring wells in that area.
Approximately 2,600 customers in the city of Medicine Hat were supplied with gas from the
Medicine Hat field. The total consumption of gas in this city was 2,325,176 thousand cubic feet
as against 2,127,802 thousand cubic feet in 1939. The Redcliffe field supplied 282 industrial
and domestic users with 636,408 thousand cubic feet of gas in 1940. The Redcliffe field is located
about two miles west of Medicine Hat.
Edmonton obtains its principal supply of gas from the Viking field, which is situated about
80 miles southeast of the city. In 1940 gas was supplied by this field to 12,000 consumers in
Edmonton and 500 users outside the city. Twenty wells were in operation in the Viking field
during the year.
In Alberta, on December 31, 1940, there were 95 wells producing natural gas only compared
with 96 wells a year ago. Capital employed by the companies operating in this industry in
Alberta during the year was $26,967,881 as compared with $26,544,265 in 1939. The industry
employed 540 persons who received salaries and wages totalling $789,818. The cost of fuel and
electricity used during the year was $8,096.
It was estimated that at Fort Norman, in the Northwest Territories, 1,500 thousand cubic
feet of natural gas were used for power purposes.
Canada imported 130,342 thousand cubic feet of mixed gas (natural and artificial) by pipe
line from the United States in 1940. This gas was valued at $91,976. In 1939, imports totalled
114,396 thousand cubic feet valued at $75,380.

THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY IN CANADA
Including (1) Production of Crude Petroleum; and (2) Petroleum Products
(1) Production of Crude Petroleum
The Canadian production of crude petroleum and natural gasoline set up a new high record
in 1940 when 8,590,978 barrels worth $11,160,213 were produced. In 1939, the output totalled
7,826,301 barrels worth $9,846,352.
Production from New Brunswick wells in 1940 amounted to 22,167 barrels compared with
22,799 barrels in the preceding year. As in former years, the 1939 output was obtained from
the Stoney Creek field, near Moncton.
Ontario’s production decreased to 187,644 barrels worth $397,078 as against 206,379 barrels
worth $401,430 in 1939. Mr. A. R. Crozier, Acting Commissioner of Gas for Ontario, summarizes
the Natural Gas and petroleum situation in the province as follows:
“For the first time since 1937, the annual quantity of petroleum produced in Ontario showed
a decrease. The production of 187,644 barrels represents a decrease of 18,735 barrels as compared
with the year 1939. The Bothwell-Thamesville and the Warwick-Metcalfe-Adelaide fields
witnessed considerable drilling activity, but both fields showed a decrease in production. In the
Dover field there was little activity, and production decreased substantially from the previous
year. The Oil Springs and Petrolia fields contributed considerable quantities of petroleum,
although, as for the past thirteen years, there was a slight decline in the annual production.
Production in the Mosa field increased sharply and exceeded any year since 1920.
“The total number of wells drilled during the year was 78 as compared to 148 for the previous
year. Of the 78 wells, 42 were producers, 22 less than in 1939. This sharp decline in the number
of wells completed during the year may be accounted for by the fact that the petroleum operator
encountered considerable difficulties in financing drilling operations, possibly owing to the uncer-
tainties of war-time conditions. The number of producing wells either operating or non-operating
was 3,487, one less than in 1939. However, during the year there were 18 old wells re-opened and
placed in production, which indicates that the practice of employing efficient methods of salvaging
and reconditioning old wells continued to produce results.
“The average price paid for Ontario crude was $2.11 in 1940, an increase of 16 cents a barrel
over last year, and represents a return to the normal price existing for the past six years. ThiS
upward trend of oil prices for Ontario crude relieved to some extent the problems of the oil por-
ducer who in general operates on a small margin of profit. It is anticipated that the trend of
crude oil prices may continue to increase at least for the duration of the war. Such an incentive
as higher crude oil prices, it is hoped, will encourage greater exploration and development of oil
supplies in southwestern Ontario.”
A new high level was reached in the production of crude petroleum and natural gasoline in
Alberta in 1940; the year’s output totalled 8,362,203 barrels compared with 7,576,932 barrels
in 1939, the previous record year.
Four natural gasoline absorption plants were active in Alberta during 1940. The Royalite
Oil Co. Limited operated two of these plants; the other two were operated by the Gas & Oil
Products Limited and the British American Oil Company. The total natural gasoline output
from these plants in 1940 was 256,384 barrels against 299,409 barrels in the preceding year and
503,612 barrels in 1938.
Drilling operations were in progress on 39 wells in Alberta during 1940 and approximately
236,928 feet were drilled; 35 wells were brought into production and 7 dry wells were drilled.
Two hundred and thirty-five wells were in operation in Alberta at the close of 1940 and drilling
was in progress on 39 other wells at the close of the year. Operations in oil and gas wells in this
province resulted in the use of 906,878 feet of casing weighing 7,483 tons. In the previous year,
318,901 feet of casing weighing 5,068 tons were used. Capital employed by the 107 firms active
in Alberta during the year amounted to $51,604,906. These firms employed 1,463 salaried
employees and wage-earners who received salaries and wages totalling $2,641,395.
Three wells in the Northwest Territories, near Fort Norman, were operated during 1940 and
produced 18,633 barrels of crude petroleum as compared with 20,191 barrels in the previous
year. This oil is treated at a small refinery near Fort Norman. The resultant products, gasoline
and fuel oil, were used to considerable extent by mining and transportation companies in this
area.

2. PETROLEUM PRODUCTS INDUSTRY IN CANADA
Thirty-eight petroleum refineries operating in Canada during 1940 were distributed by

provinces as follows: 10 in Saskatchewan, 9 in Alberta, 5 in Ontario, 4 in Quebec, 4 in Manitoba,
3 in British Columbia and 1 in each of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Northwest Territories.
There was a loss of 2 refineries in Alberta, 1 in Saskatchewan and 1 in Manitoba. The operating
refineries had a capacity of 217,270 barrels of crude oil per day, of which Quebec had 64,500
barrels or 29-7 per cent; Ontario, 57,500 barrels or 26-5 per cent; Nova Scotia, 32,500 barrels or
(14-9 per cent; British Columbia, 24,500 barrels or 11-3 per cent; Alberta, 16,850 barrels or 7-7
per cent; Saskatchewan, 16,220 barrels or 7-5 per cent; Manitoba, 4,150 barrels or 2 per cent;
the Northwest Territories, 800 barrels or 0-4 per cent, and New Brunswick, 750 barrels. Loca-
tion, type and capacity for each of these refineries is recorded in the directory at the end of this
report.
During the year 1,443,258,451 gallons of imported crude oil and 302,235,830 gallons of crude
oil and absorption gasoline from Canadian wells, or a total of 1,745,494,281 gallons was put
through Canadian refineries, this amounting to about 63 per cent of the rated capacity. Of the
total crude input, about 57 per cent was imported from the United States and nearly 26 per cent
from other countries, while about 17 per cent came from Canadian wells. The total cost at the
a
refineries of all crude oil and naphtha charged to stills during the year was $85,740,625. Stocks
of crude oil held at the refineries on December 31 amounted to 200,580,058 gallons.
Refinery production of gasoline in 1940 amounted to 779,983,106 gallons, and in addition
the refineries used for blending about 49,363,996 gallons of imported casinghead gasoline which is
not included in the Canadian production figures. The gallonage of gasoline made in 1940 was
the highest on record, being 5 per cent over 1939, which in turn was 13 per cent over 1938. The
refinery selling value of the gasoline made during the year was $71,226,944. Stocks of gasoline
held by the reporting firms on December 31 included 110,584,376 gallons of straight run or
cracked gasoline and 3,748,699 gallons of imported casinghead gasoline. In 1940 there was an
output of 8,538,070 gallons of natural gasoline from absorption plants in Alberta. This was
practically all sold to refineries and is included with the gallonage charged to stills and the refined
gasoline made therefrom is included in the refinery output figures.
Imports of gasoline, including casinghead, amounted to 105,586,068 gallons during 1940,
which, added to a production of 779,983,106 gallons plus the decline in refinery stocks of
15,280,355 gallons and less the exports of 4,320,701 gallons, made an apparent Canadian
consumption of 896,528,828 gallons. Actual sales reported to the Provincial Governments
under the Gasoline Tax Acts amounted to 883,290,294 gallons.
Production of fuel and gas oils (excluding any made and used for cracking processes) totalled
698,913,302 gallons, of which 637,628,616 gallons were made for sale and 61,284,686 gallons for
use as fuel in the producing plant. Imports amounted to 101,806,725 gallons and exports to
2,699,135 gallons. Refinery stocks at the end of the year stood at 92,710,869 gallons, or about
214 million gallons more than in 1939. The apparent consumption of fuel and gas oils in Canada,
as calculated from the above figures, amounted to 776,586,326 gallons.
Output of tractor and engine distillates was 23,797,763 gallons in 1940, imports amounted to
713,482 gallons, and producers’ stocks declined 3,428,565 gallons. The apparent Canadian
consumption was 27,939,810 gallons.
Total Canadian output of lubricating oils, including production from the refineries, amounted
to 30,006,720 gallons in 1940 against 25,017,072 gallons in 1939. By adding to this total the
imports of 18,506,716 gallons and deducting the increase in refinery stocks a consumption in
Canada of 48,261,092 imperial gallons is indicated.
Lubricating greases were produced as follows, 1,069,891 pounds in the blending plants and
9,441,500 pounds in the refineries, a total of 10,511,391 pounds. The latter quantity plus th
imports of 9,184,153 pounds indicates a Canadian consumption of 19,695,544 pounds during 1940°

INDUSTRY
Production (mine sales) of asbestos in Canada during 1940 was slightly lower in both quan-
tity and value as compared with the output of 364,472 short tons valued at $15,859,212 in 1939.
The value of sales in 1939 was the highest ever recorded and the tonnage shipped was surpassed
mines in
only by that of 1937. The entire production in the Dominion during 1940 came from
the eastern townships of the province of Quebec. Owing to wartime censorship, complete data
relating to 1940 production of asbestos in Canada are not available for publication.
Canadian asbestos as produced commercially in Quebec is of the chrysotile or serpentine
as
variety and is of high quality. Reserves of milling grade asbestos rock have been reported
many years of commercial fibre production. Production of asbestos in Canada
sufficient for
from 1880 to 1940, inclusive, totalled 7,277,173 short tons valued at $270,637,374.
The average value per ton for all grades of mine shipments in 1940 was $45.04 compared

temperature
‘Heating a chrysotile asbestos mill fibre has shown that in the approximate
degrees C. the loss in weight depends on both the time and temperatur e.
range of 500 to 700
At other temperatures the loss is practically independent of the time.
at 510 degrees t,
“Prolonged heating at about 490 degrees C. expelled about 25 per cent and
of the combined water. Complete dehydratio n occurred on prolonged heating
about 50 per cent
at about 580 degrees C., but only above 700 degrees C. was the loss in weight rapid.
that heating
“On the basis of the data obtained on the resorption of moisture it is suggested
an hour at 215 degrees C. would be a more accurate and rapid method for determining
for half
free moisture than that commonly employed.”
II. Effect of Heat on the Breaking Strength of Asbestos Tape and Glass Fibre Tape, by D.
Wolochow, N.R.C. No. 970.
“The first result of heating pure chrysotile asbestos tape, crocidolite (blue) asbestos tape.
and glass fibre tape to drive off the absorbed moisture is an increase in breaking strength.
‘Pure chrysotile tape does not lose strength till a temperature of 370 degrees C. is exceeded.
Prolonged heating at 430 degrees C. causes a loss in strength of about 20 per cent, at 480 degrees
C. of about 40 per cent. Heating at 540 degrees C. causes a rapid loss in strength.
“Crocidolite asbestos tape loses strength more rapidly than chrysotile asbestos tape.
“Glass fibre tape, although initially stronger than chrysotile tape, is considerably less resistant
to heat, beginning to lose strength rapidly at about 250 degrees C., whereas chrysotile asbestos
tape does not suffer any appreciable decrease in strength till a temperature of 400 degrees C. is
exceeded.”
Ill. Effect of Heat on the Breaking Strength of Asbestos Cloth Containing Cotton, by
D. Wolochow, N.R.C. No. 972.
“Commercial underwriters’ and A grades of asbestos cloth begin to lose strength as soon as
heat is applied. On heating for five minutes at 300 degrees C. these three grades of asbestos
cloth lose approximately 60, 35, and 25 per cent of their original (conditioned) breaking strength,
respectively. Charts are given showing the effect of heating, at temperatures up to 600 degrees C.,
for periods up to one hour.”
Market ConpDITIONS
(From the June, 1941 publication ‘‘Asbestos’—Philadelphia, Pa.)
General Business.—The effect of the Defence Program on general business in the United
States is being felt to an extent which, despite various warnings and constant remainders, was
not really expected by the public six months ago.
The American Public’s fond belief that we can do anything we set out to do, while partially
justified, at the same time makes it difficult to accomplish all that is to be done, because of the
indifference resulting from that belief.
At that the progress to date which has been made in the program is altogether amazing,
considering that we had to start practically from “scratch”. The rapidity with which many
confusing and hindering factors have been straightened out or disposed of, is deserving of the
highest congratulations.
Asbestos-Raw Material—The United States is drawing its asbestos requirements more

heavily from Canada than for many months past.
Shipments of other types of asbestos from South Africa are reaching these shores with
accelerated speed. Larger shipments than formerly are reaching us from Australia and India.
Prices on all asbestos, other than Canadian, are showing an advance due to the increase in
ocean freight, marine and war risk insurance rates.
Asbesios-Manufactured Goods.—Textiles: There is little new to report on the textile situa-

tion. Demand continues to increase; inquiries continue in increasing numbers; prices have
reached a more satisfactory level than for many years past, and this does not mean that they are
now exorbitantly high, but rather that they were formerly extraordinarily low. Naturally most
of this activity, as the activity in many other commodities, is due to defence—in fact much of the
demand can be traced to the use of insulating tapes and other textile products in motors.
Prices (U.S.A.)
All prices for asbestos are quoted on a short-ton basis from Metal and Mineral Markets,
published by the McGraw-Hill Publishing Co., Inc., New York City. Canadian prices are f.o.b.
Quebec mines, tax and bags included; Rhodesian, South African, and Russian prices, c.i.f. New
York; and Vermont prices, f.o.b. mines, Vermont.
Prices were constant throughout the year except for certain grades, where indicated the
prices were advanced in August for the remainder of the year:
a

fibers, magnesia and compressed sheet fibers, $110—$200; shingle stock, $57-$78; paper stock,
$40-$45. Cement stock, $21-$25 (advanced to $22-$26); floats, $18-$2U (advanced to $19-$21);
and shorts, $12-$16.50 (advanced to $13-$17.50). Canadian quotations are in American dollars
rather than Canadian dollars.
Rhodesian: Crude No. 1, $300; and Crude No. 2, $260.
South African: Amosite: Grade B1 (white), $140 (advanced to $150); Grade B3 (dark), $120.
Transvaal Blue: Grade B (long fiber), $400; Grade S (short fiber), $140 (advanced to $150).
Russian Crude: ‘‘AA’”’ $750; Crude No. 1, $275; Crude No. 2, $240; and shingle stock, $67.50
and up.
Vermont: Shingle stock, $57; paper stock, $40; cement stock, $25; and shorts and floats,
$12-$18 (advanced to $13-$18).

“The asbestos-bearing rock in Quebec is mined both in open pits and underground. The
method of block-caving instituted at the King mine of Asbestos Corporation in 1934, has resulted
ina remarkable reduction in cost of mining and improvement in grade of mill feed. This develop-
ment coming at a time when many of the open pits had been worked almost to the economic
depth and operators were faced with rising costs and with the prospect of being unable to recover
much valuable rock in the walls of the pits, is of the utmost importance to the industry.
“Small deposits of chrysotile asbestos are known in other parts of Quebec and also in Ontario
and British Columbia. Several of these have been worked*from time to time but there is no
production from any of them at present. Certain of these small deposits would yield asbestos
having a very low iron content and entirely free from magnetite which should render the product
of interest in connection with its use as insulation in electrical machinery.
‘Numerous deposits of other varieties of asbestos occur in Canada including anthophyllite,

fibrous tremolite, and fibrous actinolite, all referred to commercially as amphibole asbestos,
The fibres are harsher and weaker than those of chrysotile and are in little present demand.
None of these deposits is being worked, although formerly fibrous actinolite was quarried near
the village of Actinolite, Hastings county, Ontario, for use in the making of roofing materials.
Asbestos deposits reported as having been found in recent years in Manitoba east of Lake Winni-
peg, and in Ontario in the Lake of the Woods district and 260 miles north of North Bay, are of the
amphibole varieties. There is a possibility that material from some of these deposits may be
suitable for use in special products, such as, acid filters, and where long, harsh fibres are required.”’

FELDSPAR AND QUARTZ MINING INDUSTRY
Owing to the very close physical association of these minerals in many Canadian deposits
(pegmatites), it has been found difficult for some operators to make a separation of all data
pertaining to the mining of each individual mineral and, for this reason, the general statistics
relating to capital, employment, fuel and electricity, etc., have been combined in this chapter.
Since 1936, corresponding statistics relating to the production of nepheline-syenite have been
included with those pertaining to the commercial production of feldspar and quartz.
During 1940 the gross value of production by the industry and including the value of felds-
par, quartz and nepheline-syenite sold totalled $1,508,999 compared with corresponding values at
$1,233,647 in 1938 and $1,352,671 in 1939. In 1940 commercial shipments of feldspar were made
only from properties located in Ontario and Quebec; quartz in various forms was produced in
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan while production of nepheline-syenite was
confined to the province of Ontario.
The number of firms reported as active in the industry in 1940 totalled 44, capital employed
was recorded at $2,174,258, employees numbered 400, salaries and wages paid amounted to
$377,254 and the value of fuel, electricity and process supplies consumed totalled $214,517. The
net value of all products sold was estimated at $1,294,482 compared with $1,173,950 in 1939.
FELDSPAR
Production of feldspar in Canada during 1940 totalled 21,455 short tons valued at $187,623
compared with 12,500 short tons at $112,309 in 1939. Of the 1940 output, 8,548 tons, valued at
$89,004 were mined in the province of Quebec, and 12,907 tons at $98,619 in Ontario.
Feldspar mining in Quebec is centred chiefly in the Buckingham district of the Ottawa
Valley, while in Ontario the mineral is obtained principally in the Kingston-Perth area and the
Nipissing district. Grinding mills are operated at Kingston, Ontario and Buckingham, Quebec.
Exports of feldspar in 1940 totalled 14,255 tons valued at $95,846 compared with 7,661 tons worth
$49,957 in 1939.

According to the United States Bureau of Mines Minerals Year Book for 1940, an interest-
ing cooperative venture is the Western North Carolina Feldspar Market established recently at
Sylva, N.C. A nonprofit organization, sponsored by the Sylva Chamber of Commerce, Feldspar
Market Committee, A. F. Clouse, chairman, it is modeled somewhat after the pattern of the farm
cooperatives. The object is to encourage development of the feldspar deposits in Swain, Macon,
and Jackson Counties by supplying a ready cash market for producers in this region. The plan
provides for the purchase of feldspar from many small miners, sorting and blending of the spar,
and shipping in carlots. A site convenient to highway and railroad has been procured, and
arrangements have been made for buyers representing different companies to be present on
designated periodic ‘“‘feldspar-market”’ days. The farmers or other small producers are then
assured a fair competitive price for their feldspar. According to a recent informant the venture
seems to be functioning successfully, and the erection of a grinding mill is under consideration.
Feldspar Prices (October, 1939 to May 1, 1941)—Unirep Stares—Per ton, f.o.b., North
Carolina, potash feldspar, 200 mesh, white, $17 in bulk; soda feldspar, $19. F.O.B. Maine,

and Mining Journal’s ‘“‘Metal and Mineral Markets’’—New York).
“Canadian Chemistry and Process Industries’, Toronto, published feldspar quotations
March, 1941, as follows: Feldspar, pottery, ground, 200 mesh, F.O.B. mill, carlots, ton—$17.00;
feldspar rock, F.O.B. mill, carlots, ton, $5 to $7.50.
NEPHELINE-SYENITE
Production of nepheline-syenite in Canada during 1940 was valued at $117,849 compared

with $140,148 in the preceding year. The output in both years came from properties located in
Eastern Ontario.
The following information relating to nepheline-syenite is abstracted from report No. 791
issued by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa: ‘‘Nepheline-syenite is an igneous rock consisting of a
mixture of the feldspathoid mineral nepheline (or nephelite), a silicate of alumina and soda, and
varying amounts of soda and potash feldspars. It is used in the ceramic trade (at present
mainly in the glass industry) as a substitute for straight feldspar.
“Tnterest in the material as an industrial mineral or rock is of recent date, the first production
being in 1936, when Canadian Nepheline Ltd., opened a quarry at Blue Mountain in Methuen
township, Peterborough county, about 25 miles northeast of Lakefield, and erected a mill at
Lakefield to crush and process the rock for market.”’
During 1940 the mineral was shipped by the Canadian Flint and Spar Co. Ltd. from the
Bentley mine, Dungannon township, Hastings county; by the American Nepheline Corp. Ltd.,
from Methuen township, Peterborough county; and by the Temagami Development Company
Ltd., from the Morrison property, Dungannon township, Hastings county.
The potential nepheline-syenite reserves of the Central Ontario region are undoubtedly very
large, the Blue Mountain occurrence alone being a massive body about eight miles long and
consisting in a large part of such rock. Numerous small outcrops are known in the Bancroft
and adjacent areas to the north.

Nepheline-syenite used in Canada during 1939 in the manufacture of glass totalled 3,472
tons valued at $58,629. Corresponding consumption in 1940 was 4,233 tons worth $69,619.
QUARTZ (SILICA)
The production of natural silica or quartz in Canada during 1940 totalled 1,858,302 short tons
valued at $1,203,527 compared with 1,582,935 tons at $1,100,214 in 1939. Output of primary
silica products by the Canadian Quartz Mining industry includes crude and crushed dyke quartz,
quartzite, and natural silica sands and gravels. The mineral im one or more of the forms thus
defined was produced during 1940 in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan. Ship-
ments of silica in Nova Scotia were made to steel plants largely for the making of silica brick.
In Quebec high grade silica sands were produced for the manufacture of glass and chemicals while
a considerable tonnage of these same sands was sold for sand-blasting and various other purposes;
in the same province relatively large quantities of crushed quartzite were mined and milled for
the manufacture of silicon carbide and other products. During the year the plant of Canadian
Kaolin Silica Products Ltd., located at St. Remi d’Amherst, Que., was destroyed by fire. The
greater part of the tonnage of silica shipped in Ontario during 1940 represented material intended
for use in the production of silica brick and ferro-silicon and for the fluxing of nickel-copper ores.
Quartz production as recorded for Saskatchewan represented low-grade natural silica sands or
gravels shipped as flux to the Flin Flon Smelter of the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co. Ltd.
The price per ton of the several grades of silica varies greatly depending on its purity and on
the purpose for which it is to be used. Silica, on the whole, is a comparatively low-priced com-
modity, and therefore the location of a deposit with respect to markets is of great importance.
According to a report issued by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, the larger markets for silica are in
the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, and any new deposits being opened up should be within
economic reach of either Montreal or Toronto.
Imports into Canada during 1940 of silex or crystallized quartz, ground or unground totalled
4,149 short tons valued at $56,814; imports of silica sand for glass, carborundum and steel and
filtration plants, etc., in the same year, amounted to 278,727 short tons worth $556,683.

THE GYPSUM INDUSTRY

(1) Primary Production—The Gypsum Mining and Quarrying Industry
Production (producers’ sales and consumption) of gypsum in Canada during 1940 totalled
1,448,788 short tons valued at $2,065,933 compared with 1,421,934 short tons at $1,935,127 in
1939. The tonnage in both years represents various grades of crude gypsum and anhydrite
shipped from quarries or mines together with the tonnage of calcined gypsum used in or shipped
from quarry or “primary” plants. The quantity of the mineral produced in 1940 established an
all-time high record in the history of the Canadian gypsum mining industry; the value, however,
was exceeded annually during the years 1922-1931 inclusive.
Of the total output in the Dominion in 1940, Nova Scotia contributed 1,278,204 short tons
valued at $1,302,347; Ontario, 75,271 tons at $313,512; New Brunswick, 52,218 tons at $192,980;
British Columbia, 19,987 tons at $120,043 and Manitoba, 23,108 tons worth $137,051. The total
production of gypsum in Canada from 1874 to 1940, inclusive, totalled 29,702,191 short tons valued
at $62,171,430.
The quantity of crude gypsum mined in 1940 amounted to 1,494,576 short tons while the
tonnage of anhydrite mined totalled 46,219 short tons. Crude gypsum calcined in primary or
quarry plants totalled 156,372 short tons. .
The following are the average prices per short ton recorded for total sales of various grades,
including anhydrite, by the industry in 1940; Crude lump, $1.10; crushed crude, $1.03; ground
crude, $5.68} calcined (quarry) $10.48.
In 1940 the number of firms reporting production was 9 and the gypsum quarries and mines
in operation totalled 16. Some of the Canadian gypsum mining companies confine their oper-
ations in the Dominion to the production and shipment of crude gypsum or anhydrite,
while
others, in addition to marketing various grades of crude gypsum, produce a calcine for sale or for
consumption in their own gypsum products plants.
Capital employed by Canadian gypsum mining companies totalled $4,648,662 in 1940;
employees numbered 694; salaries and wages paid amounted to $717,666 and the total value
of
fuel, purchased electricity and process supplies used was recorded at $418,339.

Gypsum is exported from Canada almost entirely in the crude form. The total value of
gypsum, in all forms, exported in 1940 was $1,372,386 compared with $1,425,195 in 1939.
The Nova Scotia Department of Mines reviewed the Gypsum Mining Industry in that
Province during 1940 as follows: ‘““The Canadian Gypsum Company Limited at Wentworth,
Hants County, is the largest gypsum operation in the Province. A number of quarries have been
in operation on the property to make this production possible. The Retreat and Mudbank
are new quarries located South of the Fraser and Cable quarries. A good quality of soft white
gypsum is obtained from these two quarries. The Retreat was opened by driving a tunnel south
from the floor of the Fraser quarry through 500 feet of anhydrite and putting a raise up through
to the surace on a bed of soft white gypsum. The Mudbank quarry is reached from the south
end of the Cables quarry by a 250 foot cut through anhydrite. Several glory holes have been
opened. A new quarry has also been opened, the face of which is about 400 feet long and about
200 feet wide with a height of 60 to 70 feet; a good quality of white rock is obtained from these
various quarries.
“The Connecticut Adamant Gypsum Company operated the Foul Meadow quarry at
Cheverie, Hants County. It is located about two miles from the shipping pier. <A face 18 feet
high has been opened for about 500 feet and the overburden, which is about 15 feet in depth, is
stripped by gasoline shovel. The gypsum is quarried and shipped to New Haven, Conn., as the
demand arises. It is transported from the quarry to the shipping pier by means of motor trucks.
“The National Gypsum (Canada) Company carried out operations at Walton, Hants County.
During the past few years a new quarry has been operated and a 35 foot face has been opened up
for over 200 feet. The overburden which is not heavy is removed by a gasoline shovel and a
portable air compressor with jack hammer drills are used to do the drilling. The quarried
gypsum is transported { of a mile by motor truck to the shipping pier at Walton. The same
company continued their operations at Dingwall, Victoria County, and further increased their
output during the past year. A new loading pier was completed and dredging operations carried
out at Dingwall. A long concrete tunnel containing loading conveyor belt was constructed over
which the crushed gypsum was stoned in readiness for shipment. This is the first departure
from the covered storage shed universally used in the province. Two additional shovels were
added to the quarry equipment, making a total of three. The quarry of the company located
at Cheticamp was not operated in 1940.
“The Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine (Canada) Limited, continued operations at Baddeck
Bay during the summer months. <A quarry face 20 feet in height has now been opened over a
length of 100 feet. The overburden is about 10 to 12 feet in depth. The gypsum is transported
by truck a distance of several hundred yards to the plant at the shipping pier where it is crushed
and stock piled.
“The Victoria Gypsum Co. Ltd. carried on quarrying operations at Little Narrows, Victoria
County, on the Bras d’Or Lakes. The quarrying operations are located about 3,000 feet inland
from the shipping pier and the maximum height of the gypsum is 20 feet.
“Gypsum was quarried in 1940 by the Windsor Plaster Company Limited from the old Mosher
quarry on the property of the Windsor Gypsum Company. All gypsum quarried by the company
is treated in their manufacturing plant in Windsor and the products sold in the form of ‘selenite
hardwall, bondwall, bug killer, dental plaster and plaster of Paris.”’
In New Brunswick gypsum mining operations were carried on at Plaster Rock from May to
November by Donald Fraser. The mineral in the crushed state was shipped from the quarry
to both Canadian and United States firms. At Hillsborough in the same province the property
of Canadian Gypsum Company Limited was in continuous operation throughout 1940. Both
surface and underground mining operations were conducted and milling was steady during the
year. This company also operates a manufacturing plant at Hillsborough where an extensive
variety of gypsum products are produced; this plant was also active from January to December.
At Caledonia, in Ontario, Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine, Canada, Limited, operated its
mine, mill and manufacturing plant continuously throughout the year. Underground mining
operations are carried on at Caledonia and the company produced a wide range of gypsum pro-
ducts. ‘The company in its annual report for 1940 states:—‘‘It is difficult at this time to predict
with any degree of certainty what volume of business may be available for your company during
1941 and the extent to which it will be profitable. The erection of buildings for strictly war
purposes in the last nine months has lifted general construction to a higher level than in the years
immediately preceding and a continuance of this program is apparently contemplated. In
addition, the shortage of dwellings in the industrial centres where increased employment will be
needed to produce war equipment is an urgent problem which doubltess will be solved either by
private enterprise or governmental action. Gypsum products are essential to any type of housing
construction—”’. The company in 1940 also operated its quarries located at Gypsumville in
Manitoba and at Falkland, British Columbia. Milling and manufacturing were also conducted
in these provinces in 1940. At Amaranth, Manitoba, Western Gypsum Products Ltd., operated
its mine and mill from March 1 to November 30, underground mining is carried on at this property
and the company, in addition to shipping crude crushed gypsum, manufactures various gypsum
products. In British Columbia there was a relatively small tonnage of “gypsite” shipped from a
property situated at Knutsford in the Kamloops district.
In Ontario, the mine, mill and manufacturing plant of the Canadian Gypsum Company
Limited were in steady operation throughout the year. The property of this company is located
at Hagersville; underground mining methods are used and a wide range of gypsum products is
marketed.

“The use of anyhdrite in England for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, ammonium sulphate,
cement and special plasters is increasing, and in normal times there is a good opportunity for the
Canadian material in this market. Canada is fortunate in having extensive deposits, favourably
situated for commercial exploitation, the material from which has been proved by tests carried
out by the Department of Mines and Resources to be of excellent grade. Prior to 1937 the small
production in Canada was exported principally for use as a fertilizer for the peanut crop, but it is
possible that an industry will be started in this country in which our anhydrite may be used for
the manufacture of sulphur or sulphur compounds as well as of special plasters, similar to those
now being marketed in England.” (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

(2) The Gypsum Products Industry
Nine Canadian factories, operated by four companies, manufactured gypsum products

having a factory selling value of $4,110,795 during 1940. This output was 29-5 per cent over the
1939 total of $3,174,137 and 51-3 per cent.over the 1938 value of $2,715,894. The main products
were gypsum wallboard, gypsum hardwall plaster, gypsum tile and gypsum blocks.
Capital employed in these nine manufacturing plants amounted to $3,151,533 in 1940,
including $1,729,301, as the value of buildings and equipment, $484,399 as the value of inventories
at the year-end and $937,833 as cash, bills receivable, etc. The average number of employees
in 1940 was 362, to whom $425,023 was paid in salaries and wages. Expenditures for fuel and
electricity amounted to $157,299, while materials used in manufacturing processes cost $1,630,819

IRON OXIDES (OCHRE) MINING INDUSTRY
Production (Producers’ Sales) in Canada of iron oxides and ochres, crude and refined during
1940 totalled 9,979 short tons valued at $111,874 compared with 6,015 short tons worth $88,418
in 1939. Of the 1940 output, 9,603 short tons valued at $107,926 came from properties in the
province of Quebec and the balance of 376 tons at $3,948 sy ealaedcrude material shipped from
deposits located in British Columbia.
During 1940 iron oxides were produced in the province of Quebec at La Pointe du Lac,
Almaville, Les Forges, Red Mill and St. Adelphe. One firm produced refined products while
crude material was shipped by other operators; the mineral in the crude form was consumed
largely in the purification of manufactured gas.
The balance of Canadian iron oxide, production in 1940 originated in British Columbia
where shipments of the mineral in the crude state were made from deposits located at Alta Lake;
ochre was also mined and stock piled for drying at a property situated in the Windermere district.
Exports of iron oxides in 1940 totaled 4,060 tons valued at $232,688; imports of ochres,
siennas and umbers amounted to 1,818 tons worth, $70,339.

THE MICA MINING INDUSTRY
The number of Canadian mica mine operators reporting shipments in 1940 totalled 57;
capital employed by the industry amounted to $259,168, and $134,705 were distributed in salaries
and wages to 218 employees. The total net value of shipments was estimated at $209,316.
In 1940 phlogopite mica was shipped from properties chiefly located in the Hull-Buckingham
district of Quebec and in Eastern Ontario from deposits occurring in the Kingston-Perth area.
The production of sheet mica in Canada is almost wholly of the phlogopite or amber mica variety.
It is derived almost entirely from adjacent sections of Ontario and Quebec, within an area extend-
ing roughly from Kingston, Ont., northeastward into Hull and Papineau counties, Quebec; a few
scattered amber mica occurrences are also known in the Province of Quebec as far east as Quebec
City. Q
Production of muscovite, or white mica, in Canada has been negligible; small amounts have
been recovered occasionally as a by-product from feldspar mining in general, the proportion of
sound, merchantable sheet mica in Canadian pegmatites has proved too low for profitable mining
for this mineral alone. During 1940 muscovite mica was mined in Quebec at the Maisonneuve
mine, St. Michel des Saints, Berthier township, and in Bergeronnes township, Saguenay county.
In a review of the Canadian Mica Trade, Mr. Hugh 8S. Spence of the Bureau of Mines,
Ottawa, states—‘‘Sheet mica is marketed in various classes, depending on the amount of pre-
paration the mine-run material receives. Much of the Canadian output was sold formerly in the
semi-rough form, termed “thumb-trimmed”’, but the trade now calls largely for ‘‘knife-trimmed”’,
a much higher grade of product. Price is governed largely by dimensions of sheet, and rises
rapidly for larger sizes. Quality, which is gauged by colour, softness, ability to split readily, as
well as freedom from cracks, creases, pin-holes and inclusions of foreign mineral substances, is also
highly important. Good di-electric strength is a prime consideration, but most amber mica,
except perhaps the very dark, high iron varieties, possess this in the required degree. For heater
use, the mica must be able to withstand a temperature up to red heat without puffing or swelling.
The use of sheet mica is almost entirely for electrical insulation. It is cut or punched. into an
enormous variety of shapes and sizes, and in the form of splittings is bonded and pressed into
large sheets that can be sawn, bored and machined into any desired article. Mica is used in
making heavy-duty spark plugs for aeroplanes. Although the muscovite variety fills by far the
largest share of the world mica demand, amber mica is essential for certain purposes, more especi-
ally where high-resistance is demanded. Although already drawn on extensively, Canadian
reserves of amber mica are held to be still adequate to furnish important supplies, and any material
price advance would probably result in a revival of mining and increased production. Canada
shares the world market for amber mica with Madagascar. Fine flake or powdered mica has
become an important industrial product, particularly in the United States, where a number of
plants are engaged in its manufacture both by wet and dry systems of grinding. Most of this
production goes to the roofing and rubber trade. New uses for the material include its com-
bination with resin varnishes as a coating for foodstuff cans, and as a base in cleanser compounds.
Increased interest is also being shown in its possibilities as a protective inert pigment in paints.
Large amounts of wet-ground muscovite mica are consumed in wall paper manufacture.
‘Mica prices are difficult to ascertain, owing to the lack of reliable market quotations and to
the system of trade discounts obtaining. Quality also has such a bearing on value that the only
satisfactory method of getting information is to submit samples to aa accredited dealer for a
quotation.”
53137—11}
“In 1940, as a result of a threatened curtailment of mica exports from Madagascar, a strong
export market developed for Canadian phlogopite—both knife-trimmed block and splittings—and
dealers reported a heavier volume of sales than for some years past, with supplies at the end of
1940 lagging considerably behind orders. Despite this, little new mining was undertaken and
there was little change in the number of operators as compared with other recent years. Most
of the exports went to the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. The demand was particularly
strong for hard, heat-resistant grades of block, suitable for heavy-duty aviation sparkplugs, the
production of which grades is limited to a few mines. Efforts to stimulate output of this type of
mica were made under the joint cooperation of the Bureau of Mines and the Metals Controller.
“The larger Canadian producers operate their own mica shops, but there are dealers who
purchase rough-trimmed or mine-run mica from small operators and trim, grade, and split it for
sale, either to other dealers and brokers, or to consumers. In smaller rural communities, much of
the work, particularly splitting, is farmed out, the labour being performed mostly by girls on piece-
work.
“An outstanding development was the discovery in Bergeronnes township, east of the
Saguenay river, of a deposit of high-grade ‘“‘ruby’’ muscovite, comparable in quality to the best
Indian or Brazilian mica. This property which is owned by Eugene Simard, of Grandes Ber-
geronnes, came into production on a small scale in 1940. Some muscovite was also taken from
the old Maisonneuve mine, in Berthier county, north of Joliette. Samples of large sheets of a
good grade of stained muscovite, said to have come from a remote locality on the Peribonka
river, 100 miles north of Lake St. John, were received by the Bureau of Mines at Ottawa, and
similar samples were also furnished from a deposit near Wabowden, on the Hudson Bay railway
in Manitoba. No developments have been reported, however, in either instance.”

(a) Includes mica used in manufacture of wall paper and by coal tar distillation industries.
The total value of mica produced in Canada from the first official recording of mica statistics
in 1886 to the end of 1940 amounted to $8,078,815 and the greatest annual value was that of
$376,022 for the year 1920.
In preparation for the market, a considerable proportion of the crude mine tonnage sold is
cobbed out and the mica split, trimmed and otherwise manufactured, with the result that the
exports, though usually of smaller tonnage than the shipments from the mines, exceed them in
value.
The following mica prices for May, 1941, are supplied by ‘‘Metal and Mineral Markets’—
New York—Per ton, f.o.b. New Mexico, scrap, white, $16; off color, $12. Punch, white, for
disks, per lb., 12c.; for washers, 10c. Per ton, f.o.b. New Hampshire, roofing mica, $23; snow,
$35; 40 mesh white, $40; 60 mesh, $48; 100 mesh, $60; 200 mesh, $75. Clean dry mixed bench
and mine scrap, $16 to $18. Per lb., f.o.b. North Carolina: Punch, 10 to 15c.; 14 x 2 in., 45 to
60c.; 2 x 2, 60 to 85c.; 3 x 3, $1.25 to $1.50; 3 x 4 in., $1.50 to $1.75; 3 x 5, $1.75 to $2.25; 4 x 6,
$2.75 to $3.50; 6 x 8, $4.25 to $4.95; 8 x 10, $8.60. The above prices apply to No. 1 and No. 2
quality stock. Stained qualities take from 25 to 35 per cent discount. White North Carolina
mica, 70 mesh, $60 to $80 a ton. Biotite, or black mica, $15 a ton, unground. White, Georgia,
300 mesh, $20.00; ground roofing, 20 mesh $18.00; sericite, 300 mesh, $15; mica schist, 20 mesh $16.
The value of all mica exported from Canada in 1940 totalled $273,804 compared with $165,252
in 1939. The value of all mica imported into Canada in 1940 totalled $183,081 compared with
$61,835 in 1939.

VERMICULITE
(Bureau of Mines, Ottawa)
Vermiculite is essentially an American product, though occurrences have been reported in

the Transvaal and Tanganyika, in Africa; in Western Australia; and in Russia. No important
development of any of these deposits is known to have taken place as yet, but methods of pro-
cessing the Transvaal material have been investigated in the laboratories of Witwatersrand
University. Some American crude is exported for expanding to Great Britain and possibly to
other countries. Improved demand for finer sizes, coupled with closer attention to preparation
of crude, has recently resulted in an increased mine-yield from the Montana deposits, so that one
ton of shipping products is now obtained from 2 tons of mine-run material.
No important occurrences of the mineral are known in Canada, though there have been
unconfirmed reports of discoveries in the Albreda district, British Columbia. The occurrence of
vermiculite seems to be restricted to areas of pyroxenite, in which the pyroxenite has been ser-
pentinized and the phlogopite altered to vermiculite by acid intrusives. It is possible that
vermiculite may be present in some of the similarly intruded mica-bearing pryoxenites of Ontario
and Quebec.
The grade of crude vermiculite, based on its exfoliating properties, is distinctly variable in
material from different sources, with resulting differences in the specific gravity, coherence,
strength, and consequently in the insulating efficiency of the expanded product. The size of
crude flakes is also important. the preference for house insulation being for plates about one-half
an inch in diameter as they yield a product giving the maximum loose fill packing quality. About
60 per cent of the total sales is estimated to be used for this purpose.
Crude, cleaned and screened Montana vermiculite sold in 1940 at $12 per ton, f.o.b. mine.
The delivered cost, including freight and duty, laid down at eastern Canadian points is about $30
per ton. North Carolina crude was quoted at $9.50 per ton f.o.b. The retail price of expanded
house-fill material on the American market has recently ranged from 90 cents to $1.35 per 24
pound bag of 4 cubic feet. Crude vermiculite weighs 60 pounds per cubic foot, or ten times the
weight of the expanded product.
Crude vermiculite imports from the United States are subject to a duty of 10 per cent ad
valorem, equivalent to $1.35 per ton.
THE SALT INDUSTRY
Commercial production of common salt or sodium chloride in Canada during 1940 totalled
64,714 short tons valued at $2,823,269 compared with 424,500 short tons at $2,486,632 in 1939.
In 1940 salt was produced in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta and of the total Cana-
dian output in 1940 Ontario contributed 412,401 short tons or 89 per cent. Statistics of Canadian
salt production represent the recovery of the mineral from brine wells with the exception of Nova
Scotia where the output comes entirely from the underground mining of rock salt deposits.
Of the total salt used or sold in 1940 there were 224,009 short tons or 48 per cent consumed
directly by the producers themselves in the manufacture of caustic soda and other chemicals.
Table and dairy grades sold were recorded at 75,166 short tons; 6,689 tons were reported as sold as
highway salt while the balance of production totalling 158,850 short tons included common fine,
common coarse and various other grades.
The number of Canadian firms reporting primary salt production in 1940 totalled 9; capital
employed by the industry amounted to $4,993,914, of which $3,377,413 represented the value of
buildings, machinery, etc., and $260,598 the value of land. Employees numbered 586, including
70 female workers. Salaries and wages totalled $836,506; $321,589 were expended for fuel and
electricity and $40,198 for chemicals and other process supplies.
The ‘‘apparent’”’ consumption of salt in Canada during 1940 is estimated at 570,876 short
tons valued at $3,319,115 compared with 531,473 short tons at $2,917,713 in 1939.
Statistics relating to Canadian salt production are available only since 1886 and salt pro-
duction in the Dominion since that year to the end of 1940 totalled 8,878,701 short tons valued at
$50,874,109.

(*) In addition, Saskatchewan produced 231 tons valued at $4,510 in 1933, 452 tons at $8,703 in 1934 and 101 tons at $2,046
in 1935.
“Soil stabilization with salt and clay for the foundations of highways and for a surface veneer
for gravel roads is now firmly established and this use of salt showed a decided increase in the
past few years. The development of soil stabilized bases for runways at Canadian air fields
continued, and several air fields have been so prepared. The use of salt for mixing with sand,
piled each fall at regular intervals along main highways, has increased greatly during the past
few years, as it has been found that even in the coldest of weather the sand in piles which have
been so treated remains loose and free flowing, thus allowing easy distribution on the icy road-
way.’ (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa.)
“In New Brunswick, a salt basin was discovered in 1921, as a result of drilling in the vicinity
of Goutreau, south of Moncton, on the east side of the Petitcodiac river. The extent of the
basin was further determined when New Brunswick Gas and Oilfields, Limited, in drilling at
Weldon on the west side of the Petitcodiae river, penetrated over 1,500 feet of salt formation.
This was the second drill hole to strike salt on this side of the river. The top of the rock salt was
1,473 feet below the surface. During 1939 still another drill hole passed through the same salt
formation, the thickness, however, being only about 100 feet, indicating that the northern edge of
the basin is being approached. Altogether, six drill holes have penetrated the salt so that a
deposit of salt over 13 miles wide and four or more miles long is already indicated, the greatest
thickness so far encountered being 1,500 feet. There are, therefore, many millions of tons of salt
in this basin, available for future development. The possibility of developing this deposit for
production of salt is being seriously considered.
“Near Amherst, Cumberland county, Nova Scotia, a well drilled a number of years ago by
Imperial Oil, Limited, in a search for oil and gas, penetrated 3,200 feet of alternating beds of salt,
anhydrite, dolomite, limestone and shale, the salt constituting 45 per cent of the whole. Salt
was first met at a depth of 920 feet, and one bed more than 480 feet in thickness contained over
90 per cent sodium chloride. The apparent great thickness of the salt may be due to the steep
dip of the beds.” (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

World production of salt in 1988, the last year for which complete data are available, was
computed at 32,000,000 long tons by the Imperial Institute, London. Of this quantity, the
British Empire accounted for 5,200,000 long tons or 16-2 per cent. In the order of output, the
United Kingdom, India and Canada were the largest Empire producers of the mineral. The
leading producers among the foreign countries were the United States, Russia, China, Germany,
France, Italy, Poland, Roumania, and Manchoukuo; the total figure for world output included
rock salt, brine (wells) salt, and sea salt. In 1937 production in Germany totalled 3,312,128 long
tons; in Great Britain 3,083,755 and in France 2,301,151.

TALC AND SOAPSTONE INDUSTRY
The value of crude and refined tale and soapstone sold by Canadian producers of these min-
erals in 1940 totalled $229,639 compared with a corresponding value of $170,066 in 1939. Pro-
duction of soapstone in 1940 came entirely from the eastern townships of the province of Quebec,
while the output of higher grade tale represented shipments of the mineral made chiefly from
deposits occurring near Madoc, Hastings County, Ontario. A relatively small quantity of tale
has been shipped from a property located at Anderson Lake in the Lillooet mining district of
British Columbia; however, no commercial shipments of domestic tale were reported in this
province during either 1939 or 1940.
The tale of the Madoc area is of foliated type, has a good white colour, and occurs as a series
of vertical veins or bands in white crystalline dolomite. Near Broughton, in Quebec, crude lump
talc, from a band cutting the soapstone body, and soapstone waste are shipped to a Montreal
grinding plant. In addition to its use as a furnace material, Quebec soapstone is utilized in the
manufacture of stoves, mantels, interior trim, ornaments, crayons, etc.
During the year under review, there were 8 firms reported as active in the industry, 6 in
Quebec and 2 in Ontario; 7 of these made commercial shipments. Capital employed totalled
$319,398; employees numbered 94, and salaries and wages distributed amounted to $80,879.
Fuel and purchased electricity used were appraised at $15,480 and the cost of explosives and other
process supplies was reported at $21,650. The net value of sales was estimated at $192,509 as
compared with $147,734 in 1939.
Imports into Canada of tale and soapstone, ground or unground, totalled 3,719 short tons
valued at $66,238 in 1940, compared with 3,193 short tons at $51,380 in 1939. Exports of tale
from Canada in 1940 totalled 10,232 short tons valued at $142,577, as against 7,185 short tons
worth $74,560 in the preceding year.
“Canadian Chemistry and Process Industries’, Toronto, May, 1941 quotations for tale
were—all grades f.o.b. Madoc, Ontario—per ton—fine blown—Red label $30; No. 2 Green label
$18, 1 SS White label $12; O Blue label $10; 3A Blue label $8.00. Imported Italian tale
$85-$100.
“Metal and Mineral Markets’, New York. May, 1941—Quotations for tale were: Per ton,
carload lots, f.o.b. work's, containers included unless otherwise specified: Georgia: 98 per cent
through 200 mesh, grey, $6; white, $8, packed in 50 pound paper bags or 200 pound burlap bags.

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL OR NON-METAL MINING INDUSTRIES
Included in this section are the following non-metallic minerals and mineral products:—
Barite Grindstones Silica Brick

Corundum Kyanite Sodium Carbonate
Diamonds Lithium Minerals Sodium Sulphate
Diatomite Maégnesitic Dolomite Strontium Minerals
Fluorspar Magnesium Sulphate Sulphur (Pyrites)
Garnet Natural Mineral Waters
Graphite Phosphate
Canadian operators producing certain industrial minerals, and who are usually relatively few
in number, have been segregated for statistical purposes into a single group designated as the
Miscellaneous Non-Metal Mining Industry. Minerals or primary mineral products produced
(or deposits developed) by this industry during 1940 included: barite, diatomite, fluorspar,
graphite, grindstones, lithium minerals, magnesitic dolomite (crude and refined), mineral waters,
phosphate, silica brick, sodium carbonate and sodium sulphate. For convenience, the sulphur
content of pyrites shipped, sulphur recovered from smelter gas, and peat are recorded with the
various miscellaneous minerals listed above; the value of sulphur production, however, is not
included in the total for the miscellaneous non-metallic or industrial minerals as the value of this
element is credited to the copper-gold-silver mining and non-ferrous smelting industries.
The number of firms reported as active in the industry during 1940 was 46; capital employed
totalled $2,491,527; employees numbered 547 and salaries and wages paid amounted to $703,501.
The cost of fuel, purchased electricity and process supplies used during the year was reported at
$649,393 and the gross value of production totalled $2,116,756 compared with $1,358,922 in 1939.
A
BARITE
Canadian production of barite in 1940 totalled 338 short tons valued at $4,819, of which
25 tons worth $162 came from deposits in Nova Scotia; 305 short tons at $4,577 from Ontario
and 8 short tons valued at $80 from British Columbia. Production in 1939 came solely from
Ontario and was valued at $3,639.
In 1940 shipments of crude barite were made from a deposit located at Lake Ainslie, Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia, by the North American Mining and Chemical Corporation Limited.
Ontario production during the year under review represented shipments of the mineral in the crude
state made by H. D. Eby from a property situated in Lawson township of the Elk Lake district,
and by Benjamin Meen from the deposit of the Sudbury Basin Mines Limited, located at Tionaga.
The production from these mines went chiefly to Canadian chemical plants. The output of
barite credited to British Columbia in 1940 came from a deposit operated in the Fort Steele
mining division by M. Gorrie.
Barite production in Canada during past years came largely from deposits in Nova Scotia,
Quebee and Ontario and in recent years more particularly from deposits in the Lake Ainslie
district, Nova Scotia. Prior to 1939 the last commercial shipments from Canadian deposits
were made in 1983, in which year 20 tons valued at $60 were produced and shipped at the Tionaga
mine, Penhorwood township, Ontario.
, Production of barite in Canada from 1885 to the close of 1940 totalled 41,688 short tons
valued at $309,068. Imports of barite in 1940 totalled 5,244,700 pounds valued at $64,922.
During the summer of 1940 an important discovery of barite was made in the Pembroke
district, Hants county, Nova Scotia by an engineer of Springer Sturgeon Gold Mines Limited.
The deposit was diamond drilled and the Nova Scotia Department of Mines reported that a large
reserve of barite, estimated at several hundred thousand tons was indicated; the property is
within three miles of dock facilities at Walton and commercial production commenced in 1941.
The Nova Scotia Department of Mines states that tests made by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa,
show the barite from this deposit meets the oil trade specifications in all respects. Specific gravity
of the mineral is 4-5; a composite sample of the ore gave an analysis of 98-44 per cent barium
sulphate.
Ground barite is used as a heavy, white, inert filler in many products, such as, paint, paper,
rubber, oilcloth, linoleum, plastics, resins, and cloth. It is also used in the manufacture of glass
and as a heavy medium in mud in the drilling of deep oil wells where high gas pressures are
encountered. The most important single chemical product made from barite is lithopone, an
intimate mixture of zine sulphide and barium sulphate prepared by co-precipitation by double
decomposition of solutions of barium sulphide and zinc sulphate; its chief use is as a white pigment.
According to The Mineral Industry, world production of barite in 1939 was in the order of
1,000,000 tons annually, almost half of which was from Germany, 30 per cent from the United
States, 8 per cent from Great Britain, 5 per cent from Italy and 3 per cent from Greece; the
remaining 4 to 6 per cent is scattered in small amounts among a number of still smaller producers.
Barite is a relatively low-priced commodity. Using the American trade as an index of
recent price trends, market quotations in December, 1940, were as follows: crude ore $6 to $7 per
ton according to grade, f.o.b. mines; prime white, floated Missouri, $22-$25 per ton, f.o.b.,
and off color grades, $12 to $16. Canadian Trade Journal quotations were $47 per ton for prime
white, and $40 to $44 for off-color grade.

CORUNDUM
Corundum is found in an area embracing several townships in Renfrew and Hastings counties
in the province of Ontario. Corundum mining as an industry made its appearance there in 1900
and production reached a maximum in 1906. Shipments of the mineral in Canada during the
period 1900-1921 totalled 19,524 short tons valued at $2,104,251. No commercial shipments
have been reported since 1921. No imports of corundum into Canada were shown in Customs
reports for either 1939 or 1940. According to The Mineral Industry, the entire United States
supply of corundum is obtained from imports, mainly from South Africa; imports into the United
States in 1940 totalled 2,609 long tons valued at $165,270. Corundum output in South Africa
in 1940 totalled 4,211 tons. It was announced recently that what appears to be a large field of
alluvial corundum was discovered in the north-eastern Transvaal near Leydsdorp in 1939.
Imports into Canada in 1940 of manufactures of emery or of artificial abrasives, n.o.p., were
valued at $58,472 of which those appraised at $56,173 came from the United States. Imports of
emery in bulk, crushed or ground were valued at $72,708 in 1940.
Artificial corundum or ‘fused alumina” (Al,O;3) is produced from calcined bauxite in steel-
lined, water-cooled furnaces of the arc type. Canadian production of crude fused alumina in 1940
totalled 85,336 short tons valued at $8,249,815.
DIAMONDS
Diamonds are not produced in Canada and Canadian consumption is derived entirely from
imports which in 1940 were as follows: Diamond dust or bort and black diamonds for borers,
value $2,708,414; diamonds, unset, value $1,915,305.
The Mining Journal, London, reported in December, 1940 as follows: ‘For the second
time within a generation a general European war has disrupted the organization of the diamond
cutting industry of the world. On the second occasion, however, the dislocation has been more
complete than in World War No. 1 owing to the fact that on this occasion the occupation of the
low countries by the Germans has included Holland as well as Belgium. Moreover, since 1918
diamond cutting has seen a remarkable development, especially these last few years, in the magni-
tude and importance of the use of the industrial diamond in many branches of the engineering
industry. . . . Already the consumption amounts for industrial purposes to about two-thirds
of the total annual diamond production, and the rapid development in the output of diamond
tools is specially important in war time. Diamond cutting, as an industry, is commencing in
Great Britain. World production of diamonds in 1938 totalled 11,455,000 carats valued at
£7,680,000; of this output the British Empire contributed 3,417,000 carats worth £5,750,000,
chiefly from the Union of South Africa, Sierra Leone, South West Africa and the Gold Coast.
Among foreign countries, the Belgian Congo, Angola and Brazil were the principal producers.”
In 1941 there were firms engaged in contract diamond drilling of Canadian mineral deposits
compared with 32 in 1940. For further information see page 000.
DIATOMITE
Shipments of diatomite from Canadian deposits in 1940 totalled 248 short tons valued at
$7,957 compared with 301 tons at $10,388 in 1939. Of the 1940 output, 241 tons worth $7,786
originated in Nova Scotia and 7 tons (from stock) worth $171 from the Quesnel districtin British
Columbia. In Nova Scotia, shipments were made in 1940 from East New Annan by International
Diatomite Industries Limited; this Company conducted mining operations during May and
milling from January 1 to May 31 when all operations ceased; at Little River, Digby county,
shipments of calcined diatomite were made by G. W. Wightman, this property was active through-
out most of the year.
A report prepared by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, states:
“Very little change occurred in the consumption of diatomite used in the home industries
during 1940. About 80 per cent of the diatomite now being consumed in Canada is in the form of
filter-aids, 14 per cent is used for insulation, a 9 per cent increase over 1939, and the remainder is
absorbed as a filler, concrete admixture, silver polish base, and in chemicals. Two companies
are manufacturing diatomite insulation bricks. Amongst the recent applications, the use of
diatomite in the paint and varnish industry, has demonstrated its advantages as a flattening
agent and as an extender.
“Deposits containing medium quality diatomite are very common in some parts of Canada.
Owing, however, to United States competition and to the, at present, comparatively small
Canadian demand, only properly prepared diatomite of the highest quality can be successfully
marketed on a scale sufficiently large to warrant the operation of a property and the erection of a
plant.
“Indications are that not more than 25 per cent of the calcined material produced from the
best quality Canadian deposit so far discovered, can be made into an efficient filter-aid that can
compete with the imported product. Therefore, unless the remaining 75 per cent or more of the
non-filter grades automatically produced can be sold, the cost of producing the filter-aid alone
would be too high to be commercial. At present, the Canadian consumption of all non-filter
grades is less than 600 tons annually, mainly in the form of made-up diatomite insulation bricks,
the greatly increased production of which by Canadian firms is necessary before the Canadian
diatomite industry can be profitable.
“Prior to the war, England consumed about 50,000 tons of diatomite annually, which included
a substantial tonnage of Damish ‘‘Moler” for insulation purposes. Siuce May, 1940, exports to
England from Canada of all non-filter grades have been stopped owing to the lack of shipping
space for this very bulky and non-critical material. England is, however, now importing from
the United States at the rate of about 4,000 tons annually of the highest quality filter-aid only.
“The United States, which contributed about 50 per cent of the world’s output, had 15
producers in 1940. The total sales were estimated at 125,090 short tons, about the same as in
1939. The largest of the 25 other world producers are Denmark, Germany, Japan, Algeria,
and Northern Ireland, in order of their importance, each producing over 5,000 tons annually.
“The present price in Canada varies from $30.00 to $75.00 per ton for insulation and fil-
tration; up to $200.00 in small lots for material suitable for polishes; imported insulation bricks
vary from $85.00 to $140.00 per 1,000 according to grade and density.”
Imports into Canada in 1940 of diatomaceous earth or infusorial earth, ground or unground,
totalled 8,242,200 pounds valued at $133,876 compared with 8,613,900 pounds at $128,808 in
1939; the 1940 imports came entirely from the United States.

FLUORSPAR
Production of fluorspar in Canada from 1929 to 1939 has been confined to the Madoc area,
Hastings county, Ontario. Fluorspar was formerly produced at the Rock Candy mine in
British Columbia by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited;
production in 1929 from this mine totalled 17,800 short tons valued at $267,000. Following the
erection of a large fertilizer plant at Trail, the recovery of by-product fluorine from phosphate
rock has obviated the necessity of employing fluorspar as a source of fluorine by the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd.
In 1940 the North American Mining & Chemical Corporation Limited shipped 17 tons of
fluorspar to steel mills from a deposit located in the Lake Ainslie area, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
The largest Canadian shipper in 1940 was the Dominion Fluorspar Company, Limited, which
operated a property in the first concession of Madoc township, Hastings county, Ontario; this
company was active from January 1 to December 19; shipments from Madoc township were also
made in 1940 by Chas. A. Storlosar, and in Huntingdon township, in the same county, shipments
of milled grades of the mineral were reported by the Moira Fluorspar Mining Syndicate Limited.
The only other Canadian production in 1940 consisted of a relatively small tonnage of crude ore
shipped by Wm. H, Clark from a deposit located in Cardiff township, Haliburton county, Ontario.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reported that a discovery of fluorspar associated with metallic
sulphides was made in Montbeillard township, in the Rouyn-Noranda district, Quebec, and Cook
Copper & Fluorite Corporation Limited was formed to develop the property. According to the
Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, the recent interest in Canadian fluorspar has been prompted largely
by war demand for domestic steel trade, the requirements of which have been running at about
10,000 tonsa year. Fluxing gravel or lump grades for metallurgical use is usually sold on a speci-
fication of 85 per cent CaF, with not over 5 per cent silica; it should contain not over 15 per cent
fines; much lower grade material is, however, usable, provided it contains no excess of objection-
able impurities, though the price commanded would be below the regular market level for standard
spar. Regular metallurgical-grade fluorspar (imported) sold in 1940 at about $21 per long ton
delivered, while domestic 65 per cent grade was quoted at about $18 per short ton. Ceramic
(glass and enamel) grades call for not less than 95 per cent CaF:, with a maximum of 3 per cent
silica and 0-12 per cent iron (Fe,O;). The material requires to be offered in various mesh sizes,
from coarse to extra fine. American quotations for this grade at the end of 1940 were $32.60 per
ton in bags, f.o.b. Illinois mines.
Imports of fluorspar into Canada in 1940 totalled 30,311 tons valued at $628,719 of which
12,722 tons worth $290,674 came from Newfoundland and 11,787 tons at $256,039 from the
United States.

GARNETS
A review of garnet in 1940 by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, states:

“Commercial garnet belongs to a group of complex silicate minerals, of which almandite, the
brownish-red iron-aluminium silicate is generally considered the hardest and the best as an
abrasive. Garnet is a rather common mineral constituent of certain rocks distributed throughout
the Dominion and it usually occurs as a garnetiferous-gneiss, large areas of which are known in
parts of Ontario and Quebec. At present, however, little garnet is produced in the Dominion,
the only company in operation in 1940 being Canada Garnet, Limited, at Labelle, Quebec. Some
prospecting was also done on a deposit about 40 miles northwest of North Bay, in Ontario.
“Garnet, crushed and suitably graded. as to size, is used for making abrasive-coated papers
and cloth, which in-turn are used mainly in the wood-working (hard woods) and to a lesser extent
in the shoe leather industry. As artificial abrasives rather than those made from garnet are used
in the surfacing of metals, the marked increase in this work arising from the war effort has not
affected activities in the garnet industry to any appreciable extent.
“The specifications for garnet for use in the making of high quality abrasives are somewhat
exacting. ‘The individual crystals should be clear and free from embedded impurities and from
minute factures. They should be of a deep wine-red colour, and not smaller than pea size, walnut
size or larger being preferable. The garnet should be tough, but should yield sharp and angular
grains when crushed. The deposit should be extensive and the garnet content should not be less
than 25 per cent. It should also be close to rail transportation and industrial centres. Few, if
any, of the hundred or more garnet deposits so far examined in Canada fulfil all of these require-
ments.
“Canada Garnet, Limited, completed the mill on its property at Labelle, but made no ship-
ments of abrasive garnet, other than a few hundred pounds for trial. The company, however,
sold about 88 tons of mixed garnet and rock valued at $629 for use in sand-blasting.
“Between 90 and 95 per cent of the world output of garnet comes from the United States,
Barton Mines Corporation, North Creek, New York, being by far the largest producer. Its
product is regarded as the world standard abrasive garnet and its deposits are large. Total sales
of the three active companies in the United States in 1940 amounted to 3,600 tons as compared
with 4,056 tons, valued at $278,538 in 1939.
“The price in the United States of the best quality concentrate from which grain is prepared
for abrasive papers and cloths ranges from $75 to $80 a ton f.o.b. mines and of graded grain, $90 a
ton. Some sales of garnet fines, for use in the surfacing of plate glass, were made at about $26.00
a ton delivered, and garnet for use in sand-blasting sold at $30.00 a ton.
“Crude garnet ore or ungraded mixed concentrate enters the United States duty free, the
duty on grain graded into separate sizes and specially prepared garnet being one cent a pound.”
No imports of garnet, described as such, were recorded in Canada during 1939 or 1940; the
mineral, however, may enter in the form of abrasive paper or combined with other abrasive
imports, n.o.p. It has been reported that approximately 175 tons of graded garnet grains are
imported annually into Canada. In 1939 the Canadian artificial abrasives industry used 155
short tons of garnets valued at $25,737 compared with 98 tons at $17,219 in 1938.
GRAPHITE
Canadian mine production of graphite during 1940 was valued at $94,038 compared with
$61,684 in 1939. The output in 1940 as in the preceding year came solely from the Black Donald
mine, Renfrew county, Ontario. Relatively small and intermittent shipments of graphite were
also made from Quebec properties prior to 1935. No ore was mined at the Black Donald mine
in 1940 and milling operations during the year represented the retreatment of some 3,000 tons of
tailings. The mill was in operation from May 5 to December 31 and finished products included
flake, dust and amorphous grades. Flotation is employed in the treatment of Black Donald ore.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, in its 1940 review of the graphite industry states:
“World production of natural graphite of all grades, and including flake, crystalline (Plum-
bago), and amorphous, during the past decade has averaged about 140,000 short tons a year.
Madagascar, Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia are the principal sources of flake graphite;
Ceylon of crystalline; and Mexico and Korea of the amorphous variety.
“Graphite has a variety of uses in industry, but it is employed principally in foundry facings,
lubricants, crucibles, pencils and crayons, paints, and stove polish. Using the United States as an
index of the trend of consumption, the above industries took 63 per cent of the total graphite
sales in 1938, the remainder going into minor, unspecified trades. Dry batteries, electrodes, and
commutator brushes use important quantities, mostly amorphous or artificial.
“By the end of 1940, the war had not occasioned any serious shortage of graphite shipments
to the American continent, and dealers’ stocks were then estimated at about twelve months’
supply. .American importers, however, early in 1941 commenced to show concern over a threat-
ened curtailment of shipments from Madagascar for the crucible trade, which consumes about 90
per cent of such imports. This involved the possibility that American crucible makers might be
forced to revert to earlier practice and use Ceylon erapite now largely discarded in favour of
Madagascar flake.
“Graphite for United States consumption is mainly handled pieces large importing houses
who supply the trade. Prices at the close of 1940, as reported by one such importer were: ‘‘Mada-
gascar flake, 63-8 cents per pound; Ceylon lump, 7-15 cents per pound; Ceylon chip, 5-10 cents per
pound; Ceylon dust, 33-8 cents per pound, all ex-dock, duty paid, New York.”
Imports into Canada of plumbago, not ground or otherwise manufactured, were valued at
$24,380 in 1940 compared with $13,384 in 1939. Imports of plumbago crucibles in 1940 were
appraised at $131,200 as against $60,091 in the preceding year. Imports of plumbago ground
and manufactures of, n.o.p. totalled $179,677 in 1940 compared with $86,944 in 1939.

MINERAL. PRODUCTION OF CANADA 179
GRINDSTONES AND PULPSTONES
Quarry sales of grindstones and other natural abrasive stones (sandstone) in Canada during
1940 totalled 341 short tons valued at $14,543 compared with 304 short tons at $15,278 in 1939.
The shipments in 1940 included 18 short tons of sharpening stones valued at $2,520 and 290
short tons of grindstones worth $11,858. No pulpstones were produced in 1940 and the sharp-
ening stones came entirely from a plant in New Brunswick. The grindstones sold during the
year under review were made from both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick stone. Included as
abrasives in the total figures of grindstone production in 1940 are 33 short tons of grinding pebbles
valued at $165; these were obtained from a deposit in southern Saskatchewan and were shipped
to a feldspar grinding plant in the province of Quebec.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reports, in part, in its 1940 review of Grindstone Production
as follows:
‘“‘The large-size Canadian grindstones are used mainly for sharpening pulp-mill and tobacco
knives, and in the United States in the file, machine-knife, granite tool, and shear manufacturing
industries. The small stones are used for scythe and axe grinding. Substantial competition from
the artificial grinding wheel, and to some extent from foreign natural stones, are causes of the
dwindling of this business.
“Good pulpstones are in demand, particularly for use in the large magazine grinders, but as
known Canadian deposits containing thick beds of sandstone of the proper quality appear to have
been worked out, production for the present has ceased. Added to this there is substantial and
increasing competition from Canadian made artificial segmental pulpstones mainly of silicon
carbide grit, there being at present nearly 500 of these stones in operation in the various Canadian
pulp mills. The imported natural pulpstones come mainly from West Virginia, United States.
“The exports of these stones in 1940 were valued at $4,149 as against a valuation of $6,312
in the previous year. The imports which consisted chiefly of pulpstones, were valued at $192,493
as against $133,273 in the previous year. Most of these come from the United States.”
In 1916 it was stated that included with the annual statistics of quartz was a small production
of grinding pebbles obtained from near Jackfish, Ontario, on the north shore of Lake Superior,
by the Canada Pebble Co., Ltd. These pebbles were used chiefly in the cement industry. It
was also reported that considerable deposits of rounded quartzite pebbles, suitable for grinding
purposes, were found on the Cypress Hills, south of Maple Creek, Southern Saskatchewan.
During 1930 the production of grinding pebbles from the Jackfish deposits amounted to 560 tons;
in 1925 the total was 105 tons and in 1926 only 64 tons. The Hedley Gold Mining Co. used
pebbles obtained from Hedley, Similkameen district, British Columbia, in 1922. In 1940 a
shipment of natural pebbles for grinding purposes was made from a deposit located at Gouver-
neur, Saskatchewan; these were consigned for experimental purposes to an Eastern Canadian
feldspar grinding plant. Quartzite pebbles from beach deposits located some 35 miles from
Sydney, Nova Scotia were tested by the Department of Mines, Ottawa, in 1919; the Nova Scotia
Department of Mines report that the results from these tests indicated a better wear than from
imported flint pebbles.

The Artificial Abrasives and Abrasive Products Industry
The factory selling value of all products made during 1940 by the manufacturers in Canada
of artificial abrasives and artificial abrasive products amounted to $15,324,693. This value
represented a gain of 65 per cent over the total of $9,275,143 for 1939.
There was no change in the number or location of the establishments which made artificial
abrasives and their products in 1940, there being fourteen works in Ontario and two in Quebec.
The average number of employees in the industry was 1,439, and payments in salaries and wages
totalled $2,261,495. Expenditure for manufacturing materials amounted to $4,693,981 and
$1,208,439 was paid out for fuel and electricity. Capital investment in the industry totalled
$8,120,898, of which $3,451,260 was the value placed on land, buildings and equipment.
Artificial abrasives were made by 4 plants in Ontario and 2 in Quebec. The output of these
6 works was valued at $12,431,295 and included 85,336 tons of crude fused alumina at $8,249,815;

KYANITE
Ixyanite is usually a rock-forming mineral, and only rarely does it occur in large monomin-
eralic Masses as segregations in quartz-kyanite gneiss or schist. Indian kyanite is the| most
popular at the present time; the production in India commenced in 1924 and amounted to 24,787
tons in 1936. The mineral also occurs in Nyasaland, British East Africa and Western Australia.
The leading andalusite mine in the world is operated by Champion Sillimanite, Ind., in the
White Mountains, California; this Company is a subsidiary of the Champion Spark Plug Co.,
Detroit, Mich.
None of the minerals, kyanite, sillimanite or andalusite are commercially mined in Canada
at the present time and any imports of these minerals into Canada are not shown separately in
the Canadian Customs classification. ‘‘Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—June, 1941
quoted kyanite—per ton f.o.b. North Carolina and Georgia $20.00 to $32.00.
Kyanite production in the United States in 1940 was mainly in California and Virginia, with
some in North Carolina and Georgia, the total output being 4,241 short tons valued at $94,000.
Imports into the United States in 1940 were 7,658 short tons, all from India.
LITHIUM MINERALS
Commercial production of Canadian lithium minerals was first recorded in 1937. These
were made by the Lithium Corporation of Canada, Limited, from deposits located at Bernic
Lake, near Pointe de Bois, Eastern Manitoba. For further details refer to chapter 5. ‘
MAGNESITIC DOLOMITE
Canadian production of magnesitic dolomite was valued at $897,016 in 1940. The value of
the output in 1939 was $474,418. Production is confined to the province of Quebec.
The annual review on magnesite by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, contains the following
information:
“Magnesitic dolomite consisting of an intimate mixture of magnesite and dolomite is quarried
at Kilmar and at Harrington East, in Argenteuil county, Quebec, and is processed for use as
refractory materials. Products at present marketed include caustic-calcined magnesitic dolomite,
dead-burned or grain material, bricks and shapes (both burned and unburned), finely ground
refractory cements, and, in combination with chrome, the dead-burned material is used as an
ingredient in certain other types of refractory. Magnesia products made in Canada from
imported magnesite and magnesia include fused magnesia (artificial periclase), optical periclase,
and ‘‘85 per cent magnesia”’ pipe covering.
“The recent discovery by the Bureau of Mines of deposits of a magnesium mineral known as
brucite, at Rutherglen, Ontario, and at Bryson and Wakefield, Quebec, is considered a matter of
importance. ‘The brucite occurs as granules thickly disseminated through a matrix of crystalline
limestone, and by a process developed in the Bureau of Mines laboratories, and described in a
report recently issued by the Bureau, it is possible to recover these brucite granules in the form of
magnesia of a high degree of purity, apparently at a cost that will enbale it to compete with
imported magnesia in Eastern Canada. The magnesia so obtained is suitable for the manu-
facture of high-grade basic refractories, magnesium metal, and various chemical compounds.
Hitherto, magnesia of equal purity has not been available from any Canadian source, but has had
to be imported from Asia, Europe, or the United States. Being an essential war commodity,
supplies of magnesia are difficult to obtain during wartime, and a domestic source is of prime
importance. At present the deposits are being investigated by several companies in co-operation
with the Bureau of Mines, and early production of magnesia from them is expected.
“Magnesite is available in many countries. Russia is probably the world’s greatest producer °
of magnesite, but almost all is for domestic use. For export, the magnesite is generally shipped
in either the calcined or the dead-burned state.
‘Magnesite is usually calcined before shipment and the resultant magnesia is used for the
making of refractory products to withstand extremely high temperatures, for making oxychloride
cement, and for magnesium metal. It is also the basis of a number of magnesium salts and has
many minor uses. The world-wide demand for magnesium metal has greatly stimulated interest
in deposits of magnesite. Although until three years ago almost all the world’s magnesium was
made from magnesium chloride brine and from waste water used in treating potash minerals,
magnesite is now an important source of this light metal in Europe. Sea-water and magnesium
chloride brine are the sources of all magnesium at present produced in the United States.
“Competing with magnesite as sources of magnesia products are dolomite, brucite, and
sea-water. Dolomite, in addition to its newly discovered possibilities for the making of refract-
ories, has long been the principal source of basic magnesium carbonate and pure magnesium oxide,
and processes have been worked out for the production of magnesium metal from it. Brucite is
being quarried in the United States for the manufacture of refractories. The extraction of mag-
nesia from sea-water has now reached the commercial stage in California and in England, the
material so obtained being now marketed in various forms for industrial and pharmaceutical
purposes, and for use in refractory products.
“Prices of calcined magnesite f.o.b. Montreal or Toronto, as quoted by Canadian Chemistry

and Process Industries for March, 1941, were $70 to $90 per ton. ‘This price has obtained since
November, 1939, when the price rose from the $48 to $60 range that had prevailed for more than a
year previously.”

MAGNESIUM SULPHATE (EPSOM SALTS—NATURAL)
-No commercial production of mine or primary magnesium sulphate was reported in Canada
in 1940. The output of this mineral in the Dominion in 1939 totalled 550 short tons valued at
$9,900 and came entirely from deposits located in British Columbia. The following information
pertaining to magnesium sulphate is from a review prepared by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa.
“Natural hydrous magnesium sulphate (Epsom Salts or Epsomite) occurs in deposits in lake
bottoms or in solution in brine lakes in British Columbia. In Saskatchewan it is found associated
with sodium sulphate. Attempts have been made to produce refined salts, and a number of
years ago there was considerable production from several of the ‘lakes’ in British Columbia, and
experimental shipments were made from one of the lakes in Saskatchewan.
“The largest production has come from the deposits at Basque, British Columbia, the
material from which is refined at Ashcroft, 15 miles south of the deposit. The refinery, now owned
by Ashcroft Epsom Salts Company, has a capacity of 10 tons of salt a day. It was operated until
the early summer of 1939, when it closed down pending improved marketing conditions. The
material produced was of high grade, four samples, representative of the different crystal sizes
prepared, all ran over 99-5 per cent MgSO,. 7H20.
“There are a number of other occurrences in British Columbia, near Clinton, north of Kam-
loops, and in Kruger’s Pass, south of Penticton.
“In Saskatchewan, two lakes south of Wiseton contain brines high in magnesium sulphate,
and Muskiki Lake, just north of Dana, contains brine high in magnesium and sodium sulphate,
which at certain times of the year, crystallizes into a bedded deposit with layers of both salts.
‘The imports in 1940 were 2,211 tons valued at oe 090, compared with 1,950 tons valued at
$56,648 in 1939.
‘As magnesium sulphate is not at present being manufactured in Canada, imports are duti-
able at the rate of 173 per cent, otherwise the duty would be 20 per cent. The tariff on the
material entering the United States is ¢ of a cent per pound, or $15.00 per ton.
“Prices for Epsom salts remained steady for the greater part of the year, but with the dis-
continuance of supplies from European countries, hitherto the main source ‘of supply, prices
increased rapidly. Quotations at the end of the year for the technical grade, as given by Cana-
dian Chemistry and Process Industries for Toronto or Montreal delivery, ranged from $65.00 to
$70.00 per short ton in bags, whereas the B.P. material in barrels is quoted at from 33 to 33 cents
per pound.”

MINERAL WATERS
Shipments of natural mineral waters from Canadian springs totalled 140,663 imperial gal-
lons valued at $20,892 in 1940 compared with 123,769 imperial gallons worth $19,105 in the
preceding year. Production during both years originated in Ontario and Quebec. Some of the
more prominent Canadian mineral waters possessing special therapeutic or hygienic properties
include the following: in Quebec, the Abenakis springs on the St. Francois river in Yamaska
county; Potton Springs in Brome county and the Coulombia spring at L’Epiphanie. In Ontario,
saline, sulphur and gas springs occur at Caledonia Springs and at Carlsbad Springs, near Ottawa;
the waters range from alkaline to strongly saline. St. Catharines, near Niagara, is one of the
oldest Canadian mineral water resorts and sulphur waters are found at the Preston mineral springs
in Waterloo county. The most famous of all Canadian springs is undoubtedly the group of hot
sulphur springs at Banff, Alberta. In British Columbia the Harrison Hot Springs in the Fraser
Valley and the Haleyon Hot Springs on Arrow Lake are noted for their curative properties.
The total number of firms reporting production of natural mineral waters in the Dominion
was 15 in 1940, of which 11 were located in the province of Quebec and 4 in Ontario.

PHOSPHATE
Production (mine sales) of phosphate in Canada in 1940 totalled 358 short tons valued at
$4,039 compared with 157 tons at $1,712 in 1939. The following information relating to this
mineral is from a review prepared by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa:
‘‘As in past years, phosphate production consisted of apatite obtained from the mica-apatite
deposits of the Precambrian area north of Ottawa, in western Quebec, where a little was taken out
by about a dozen small-scale producers in the Gatineau-Liévre rivers—Templeton district.
Most of the output was in less than individual car-load lots, and the bulk of it was sold to the
Electric Reduction Company, Buckingham, Quebec, for the production of phosphorus or its
products. This company has for years been practically the sole customer for domestic apatite;
purchases in 1940 are reported as 332 tons, at a base price of $11 for 80 per cent grade, plus or
minus 14 cents per unit above or below this figure. Early in 1941, Canadian Refractories Lim-
ited, Kilmar, Quebec, reported that they would be in the market for about 100 tons annually.
“The only other known occurrence of phosphate in Canada is a belt of rather low-grade
sedimentary rock extending northward along the continental divide from the Crowsnest area,
just west of the Alberta-British Columbia boundary; it has been traced as far north as Jasper,
Alberta. Operations some ten years ago in the Crowsnest-Michel area by the Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company resulted in the shipment of 5,000 tons of this rock to Trail,
British Columbia, for the manufacture of fertilizer, but attempts to concentrate it proved unsuc-
cessful and the company discontinued mining and has since drawn its supplies from Garrison,
Montana. Hastern Canadian plants using phosphate for fertilizer or other purposes employ
mainly Florida rock; in 1940, this cost about $15 per ton, delivered, for 75 per cent grade.
“Total world production of phosphate is of the order of about 11 million long tons annually.
The great bulk consists of sedimentary rock, but the Russian output of apatite, produced as
concentrate from nepheline-apatite rock, amounts to about one million tons. Outside of Russia,
Sweden and Canada are the only other producers of apatite for which figures are available.
“Although fertilizers will always continue to consume the great bulk of the world’s phosphate
produced, a growing future for phosphorus and its compounds seems to be assured. One of such
chemicals that is rapidly coming into extensive use is trisodium phosphate, employed as a deter-
gent in laundry work and as a general cleanser, as well as for preventing scale or scum in boiler-
feed and washing waters, and in the tanning, photographic, sugar and other industries. The
removal of injurious fluorine, the cause of ‘‘mottled’”’ teeth, from the potable waters is now
accomplished by filtering through a bed of tricalcium phosphate. Sodium pyrophosphate and
tetraphosphate are proving of value for deflocculating and lowering the viscosity of the muds
used in oil-well drilling. Sodium metaphosphate is a strong “wetting” agent, and is highly
efficient in the flotation of certain non-metallic minerals, and also in laundry practice. Alkaline-
earth phosphate binders are proving of value for refractory materials. Research is proceeding
on the use of phosphate in glass batches. Non-fertilizer uses for phosphate in the United States
have been showing a steady expansion and now total about half a million tons annually.”

The largest annual output of phosphate to be recorded in Canada was for 1890 in which year
production was reported at 31,753 tons valued at $361,045. The total production of the mineral
in the Dominion from 1870 to the end of 1940 totalled 342,700 short tons valued at $4,662,087.
Imports of phosphate rock into Canada in 1940 totalled 165,858 tons valued at $663,554—
all from the United States.
In 1940 imports into Canada of fertilizers, superphosphate or acid phosphate of lime totalled
1,993,728 ewt. valued at $982,337, all of which came from the United States. Imports of phos-
phoric acid in 1940 totalled 368,625 pounds appraised at $20,026.
Phosphate chemicals and ferro-phosphate are now manufactured in Canada at Buckingham,
Quebec, from phosphate rock. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada
Limited treat imported phosphate rock, (at Trail, B.C.) with sulphuric acid, producing “‘triple”’
superphosphate; the Company also makes ammonium phosphate and mixtures of ammonium
phosphate and ammonium sulphate. :

POTASH
Natural potash salts are not yet mined or recovered on an extensive commercial scale in
Canada. Potash occurs in small quantities in rock salt strata at Malagash, Cumberland County,
Nova Scotia, and at Gautreau, Westmorland County, New Brunswick. Potassium chloride
occurs at Malagash in a number of definite bands in the salt mass in the form of crystalline beds
of pink and yellowish green sylvite in the matrix of halite. A 1940 annual report by the Bureau
of Mines, Ottawa, refers to the Malagash occurrence as follows:
“In Nova Scotia, Malagash Salt Company produced slightly less in 1940 than in the previous
year, owing to a fire which completely destroyed its power plant early in December, in conse-
quence of which a complete shut down of underground development was necessary. Temporary
power arrangements have been made until such time as a new and permanent plant can be erected.
Definite zones in which indications of potash salts occur have been correlated from the second to
the twenty-sixth level and there seems to be an increase in the potash content with depth. The
study of these zones is being continued.”
Complete statistics relating to world production of potash are not available for 1940 as
publication of potash production statistics by European governments virtually ceased in the
summer of 1939, and no adequate data are available since.

worth $147,926; Imports of caustic potash totalled 1,547,608 pounds valued at $90,772.
PYRITES (Sulphur)
Canadian sulphur production is computed as the sulphur in iron pyrites shipped plus the
sulphur recovered from non-ferrous smelter gases. Production in 1940 totalled 170,630 tons
valued at $1,298,018.
No iron pyrites deposits, known as such, have been mined in Canada for some years and
statistics published regarding recent pyrites production refer to by-product iron pyrites recovered
in the mining and concentrating of copper-gold-silver ores.
Sulphur employed in the manufacture of sulphuric acid during 1940 was recovered from
salvaged smelter gas in Ontario and British Columbia. In Ontario, Canadian Industries Limited
continued the operation of its acid plant at Copper Cliff, using sulphur dioxide obtained from the
smelter of the International Nickel Company, while in British Columbia the Consolidated Mining
and Smelting Company of Canada, Limited, manufactured sulphuric acid and other chemical
products at Trail, using the by-product gases of its metallurgical plants. The Consolidated
Mining and Smelting Company reported in 1939 that the percentage of sulphur dioxide removed
from flue gases from metallurgical operations and utilized mainly in the production of sulphuric
acid and fertilizers, increased to 70-3 per cent compared with 53-3 per cent in 1937.
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, reviews pyrites for 1940 as follows:
‘‘Pyrites is produced in Canada as a by-product in the treatment of copper-pyrites ores at the
Aldermac and Noranda mines in Quebec, and at the Britannia mine in British Columbia. No
lump pyrites has been produced in Canada for several years.
‘“‘Aldermac Copper Corporation’s mine and concentrator, twelve miles west of Noranda,
Quebec, were in continuous operation in 1940. The copper concentrate is shipped for treatment
to the Noranda smelter, while the high grade iron pyrites concentrate is shipped partly to chemical
plants in the United States and partly to Three Rivers, Quebec, for use by St. Lawrence Paper
Mills Company. The main shaft of the mine was extended 125 feet to a depth of 1,375 feet, and
the tenth, or bottom level, was opened up. The east end of the property was explored on the
surface by diamond drilling and geophysical work, and underground by crosscutting and diamond
drilling.
“At the Noranda mine, a small tonnage of pyrites concentrate—a by-product of the milling
process— was marketed for the manufacture of acid.
“At Three Rivers, all of the pyrites used in the Freeman flash-roasting plant in the mill of
St. Lawrence Paper Mills Company is now being obtained from the Aldermac mine. Formerly
the plant burned pyrites obtained from the old Eustis mine which was closed down in June,
1939.
The Freeman plant supplies all of the sulphur dioxide and part of the steam required for the
operation of the company’s sulphite plant.
“In British Columbia, part of the large output of pyrites from the Britannia mine was con-
signed to the acid plant of Nichols Chemical Company at Barnet, British Columbia. As in
previous years, however, much of the output was stored, awaiting more favourable market
conditions. Some of this stock was exported in 1939.
“Northern Pyrites, Limited, last year completed a program of development work that has
been in progress for the past four years on its Ecstall pyrites property, located on Eestall
river
about sixty miles south of Prince Rupert. A large plant as well as a railway to tidewater is
required before active production can commence, but in the meantime, the company is awaiting
more favourable market conditions. The Granby Company did considerable exploratory
diamond drilling on the Eestall property several years ago. According to reports, the orebodies
contain 5,000,000 tons of ore averaging 49 per cent sulphur, 42 per cent iron, 2-3 per cent zine,
less than one per cent copper, and about $1.00 a ton in gold and silver.
‘Although the Freeman process of flash roasting, designed for by-product flotation fines that
are obtained from the treatment of copper ore, has opened a prospective market for this
class of
ore, it is not to be assumed that the mining of pyrites will be stimulated. Ample supplies of
pyrites fines are already available at’ strategic points to meet any demand that may
arise in the
immediate future.

“There is apparently no standard price in Canada for sulphur in pyrites. Most contracts are
believed to be based on a price of 5 cents or better per unit (22-4 pounds) of sulphur per long ton,
f.o.b. cars at point of production.”’ .
“Metal and Mineral Markets’—New York—June, 1941, quotation for iron pyrites was per
long ton unit of sulphur, c.i.f. United States ports, guaranteed 48 per cent sulphur, Spanish 12
cents nominal. Sulphur—per long ton for domestic market $16 f.o.b. Texas Mines. ‘Canadian
Chemistry and Process Industries’ Toronto, quoted sulphur, June, 1941;—sulphur, crude, con-
tracts, f.o.b. cars at United States mines, long ton $16.00 (U.S.); crude, contracts, St. Lawrence
and Maritime ports long ton $21.50 to $22.50 U.S. funds.

SODIUM CARBONATE (NATURAL)
Production of natural sodium carbonate in Canada during 1940 totalled 220 short tons
valued at $1,760 compared with 300 tons at $2,400 in 1939. Deposits of this material in the
form of “‘natron’’ (sodium carbonate with 10 molecules of water) and also as brine, occur in a
number of “lakes” throughout the central part of the province of British Columbia, chiefly in the
Clinton mining division, around 70 Mile House, and in the neighbourhood of Kamloops. Pro-
duction in Canada during recent years has come entirely from deposits in British Columbia and
in 1940 all commercial shipments of primary or mine material were made from 70 Mile and Chasm
on the line of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The first commercial shipments of natural
sodium carbonate from Canadian deposits were recorded for 1921 in which year 197 short tons
valued at $14,775 were reported as sold. The total Canadian production of the material to the
end of 1940 amounted to 8,679 short tons valued at $101,630.

SODIUM SULPHATE
(Glauber’s Salt and Salt Cake)
Producers’ shipments of natural sodium sulphate in Canada totalled 94,260 short tons valued
at $829,589 in 1940 compared with 71,485 tons at $628,151 in 1939.
Sodium sulphate is recovered in Canada almost entirely in the province of Saskatchewan and
is produced either as a hydrated sodium sulphate, known as Glauber’s salt, or anhydrous sodium
sulphate, known to the trade as ‘‘salt cake”. It occurs as crystals (Glauber’s salt) or in the form
of partially saturated or saturated brines in many lakes throughout Western Canada. Some of
the Saskatchewan properties are equipped with plants for the purification and dehydration of the
crude salt. It is interesting to note that a relatively small commercial output of the mineral has
been reported in the province of Alberta since 1937. The increased demand for sodium sulphate
from the pulp mills and the nickel-copper smelting industry was largely responsible for the large
increase in output of sodium sulphate in recent years.
The total commercial shipments of Canadian natural sodium sulphate since the commence-
ment of production in 1920 to the close of 1940 totalled 676,046 short tons valued at $3,829,286.
During 1940 six firms, five in Saskatchewan and one in Alberta, reported production of

+ The 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939 and 1940 figures do not include sodium sulphate consumed direct in-the smelting of nickel-
copper ores.
In 1939 there were 801,220 pounds of Glauber’s salt valued at $11,636 used in Canada in the
dyeing and finishing of textiles as compared with 645,306 pounds at $8,419 in 1938.
‘“‘At Sybouts Lake, 9 miles south of Gladmar, Saskatchewan, a-start was made in 1940 on the
erection of a dehydrating plant by a company known as Sybouts Sodium Sulphate Company,
Limited with head office at Gladmar, Saskatchewan. This plant is expected to be in operation
during the summer of 1941. In anticipation of the completion of the plant some 10,000 tons of
crystals were harvested and stockpiled on the shore adjacent to the new plant site.
“No production is reported from British Columbia in 1940. Sodium sulphate’is the pre-
dominant salt in a number of deposits and, during the past year, several of these deposits were
prospected to prove their extent.
‘“‘A discovery made in New Brunswick during 1937, may yet prove to be of importance as a
source of sodium sulphate. New Brunswick Gas and Oilfields, Limited, in drilling for gas at
Weldon, has proved large thicknesses of rock salt (sodium chloride.) Two holes drilled 3,500 feet
apart, from which cores have been obtained, have shown the presence of a bed of glauberite
(Na2SO1.CaS0O‘) from 60 to 100 feet thick, mostly overlying the rock salt, the sodium sulphate
content of which ranges from 25 to 30 per cent. Both glauberite and sodium chloride were proved
by drilling in 1939, thus further extending the salts basin. Many millions of tons of sodium
sulphate would seem to be indicated in this deposit. The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, has done
much research work on the material recovered in these cores, and has been able to indicate
probable method of recovery of the sodium sulphate, but further detailed work must be done to
determine the full commercial possibilities of the deposit.
“The industry in Western Canada seems now to be well established, and steady progress is
being made. The investigation of sodium sulphate deposits in this section of the Dominion was
started by the Bureau of Mines in 1921, and over 120,000,000 tons of hydrous salts was proved in
the few deposits examined in detail. In 1921 none of this material was used commercially, but
hv 1939 the revenue derived by Canadian railways from this industry in incoming and outgoing
freight exceeded $1,500,000.’ (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).
STRONTIUM MINERALS
The Bureau of Mines, Ottawa, in a 1940 review of strontium minerals states:

“Several occurrences of celestite of possible economic interest are known in Canada, but there
has been very little attempt at development; the last was in 1920-21, when some ground material
was produced from a deposit in Bagot township, Ontario, and sold to the paint trade. The Bagot
ore has coarsely-fibrous character and is not very pure, containing about 18 per cent of barius
sulphate. On this account, it would not ke favoured for chemical use, but is regarded as suitable
for paints and general filler or loader use. Renewed interest in the deposit developed in 1940 and
plans were reported for placing the property in production, but these have not yet materialized.
Celestite similar in character and analysis occurs at some of the old fluorspar mines of the Madoc
area, in Ontario, and some might be recoverable from the waste dumps.
‘A very pure celestite, analysing 98-99 per cent strontium sulphate, occurs as a small vein of
coarse platey crystals in Lansdowne township, Ontario. Some was mined many years ago, but
its disposition is not on record. Calcite appears to be the only associated mineral, and recovery
of a concentrate of high purity should be easily made by jigging and tabling. In the event of a
war shortage of imported strontium compounds, this deposit probably offers the best possibility
for supplying the deficiency, though the indicated tonnage is not great.
“Celestite of similar type to the above occurs also in Fitzroy township, Ontario, where it was
disclosed in a small prospect shaft made for galena about 30 years ago. Analysis of selected
material showed 93 per cent strontium sulphate. A moderate supply might be obtainable from
this source, but the ore would probably need to be concentrated.
“No important deposits of strontianite are known in Canada, though several occurrences of
the mineral are on record: these are probably only of mineralogic interest.
“Celestite (strontium sulphate) is the principal commercial source of strontium for the
manufacture of the various strontium salts used in industry. Strontianite (the carbonate) is
aless common mineral, used for the same purpose. Most of the world’s supply of celestite is
obtained from England, and some strontianite is mined in Germany. Important deposits are
reported to occur in India and Newfoundland, but there has been no production from these
sources as yet. There are no very complete figures on the world trade in these minerals, but in
recent years total annual production would appear to have been around 5,000-7,000 tons.
‘“‘As stated above, the chief use for both celestite and strontianite is for the manufacture of
various strontium salts and chemicals used in industry and medicine. Of such compounds, the
nitrate, carbonate, and hydrate are the most important. Strontium nitrate is employed mainly
in pyrotechnics, for fireworks, signal flares, tracer bullets, etc., to which it imparts the character-
istic strong red flame colour of the element. The hydrate is chiefly used in the refining of beet
sugar by the Scheibler process, but this is little practised on this continent, where the Steffens, or
lime, process is mainly used. The carbonate is said to be used to some extent as a batch ingredient
in the manufacture of certain types of glass, and as a fluxing and desulphurizing and dephos-
phorizing agent in iron and steel.
“Strontium metal, made from either the natural sulphate or carbonate, finds limited appli-
cation in certain alloys, mainly of copper, tin, lead, zinc, and cadmium.
“According to American trade journals, ground celestite of 92 per cent grade currently sells
at $45 per ton.
‘“‘A review of the strontium situation in the United States, published early in 1941, furnished
the following information: A new, and possibly the principal, outlet for strontium ores is now
offered by the employment of powdered celestite for purifying caustic soda solutions used in the
manufacture of rayon. Domestic reserves of celestite are held to be abundant, though American
requirements have been supplied almost entirely by imported material for many years. In 1940,
several deposits were reported to be under development in California, and celestite-bearing
limestones in Ohio are regarded as of possible commercial interest. An occurrence of strontianite
has been reported in New Mexico, and impure celestite has been mined in Texas to replace barite
in oil-well drilling muds. American importers of celestite are stated to have stocked up heavily
53137—13
in 1939 at a delivered price of about $14 per ton for crude ore, and though quotations on certain
strontium salts have shown a slight rise, no shortage is feared.”’
Data relating to Canadian imports of strontium minerals or chemicals are not published
separately in Canadian trade reports.

CHAPTER NINE
Including Cement, Clay and Clay Products (Brick, Drain Tile, Kaolin, Sewer Pipe, Structural
Tile, Stoneware and Pottery made from Domestic Clays, Fireclay, Firebrick, Fireclay
Blocks and Shapes, Imported-Clay Products), Lime, Sand and Gravel, Sand-Lime Brick,
and Stone, including Slate.
Grouped in this chapter are those industries producing structural materials of non-metallic
composition. During the depression years, immediately following 1929, these important branches
of the Canadian mineral industry suffered severe economic losses. Production declined and
employment fell to a relatively low level. Shipments of cement, lime, stone, clay products, sand
and gravel totalled $58,534,834 in 1929; this high record value was succeeded by unbroken annual
decreases to $16,696,637 in 1933, from which year recovery has been relatively slow, however, a
distinct advance was realized in 1937 when the value of these materials aggregated $34,869,699
or an increase of 35-31 per cent over the corresponding value of $25,770,741 in the preceding
year. In 1938 there was a slight increase over 1937 in the value of clay products, also the output
of sand and gravel was considerably greater, however, the total value of all structural materials
produced in 1988 at $33,878,666 represents a decrease of $991,033 from the corresponding value
of the preceding year. The recent increase in construction of defence works, such as, airports,
military camps, barracks, etc., was reflected in the increase in output of certain structural materials,
especially after the outbreak of war in September, 1939. During 1939 the annual value of struc-
tural materials increased to $35,382,759 and in 1940 attained a total of $43,703,949, the highest
to be realized since 1930, when the value of these products aggregated $53,727,465.
There has been an increasing consumption of stone and lime for other than building pur-
poses. This has been particularly evident in recent years and is the result of expansion in certain
industries where these materials are utilized in various chemical processes. Shipments of stone
and lime for these purposes are classified, for convenience, with data relating to production of
these same materials for structural purposes. However, statistics pertaining to their consumption
for industrial purposes are segregated in the following tables.

Of the 1940 sales, 3,854,339 barrels were produced in Quebec plants, 2,355,352 barrels in Ontario,
572,408 barrels in Manitoba, 414,183 barrels in Alberta and 363,366 barrels in British Columbia.
The high and low prices per barrel in 1940 were $2.35 and $1.32.
The number of firms reporting commercial production of cement in Canada during 1940 was
3 and the plants in operation numbered 8. Capital employed totalled $50,376,276 and the
industry distributed $1,515,766 in salaries and wages to 1,052 employees. The total value of fuel
and electricity used during the year under review amounted to $2,347,730, of which $1,621,511
were expended for coal and $690,266 for electricity. Process supplies consumed, including chemi-
cals, explosives, etc., were valued at $712,193 and the following tonnages of primary materials of
mineral origin were used in the manufacture of the final products: limestone, 1,765,944; clay,
144,152; gypsum, 38,903; shale, 18,347; sand, 15,298 and iron pyrites, 170. Imports of Portland
cement into the Dominion in 1940 totalled 13,213 barrels worth $69,821 compared with 16,620
barrels valued at $58,316 in 1939. Exports in 1940 totalled 299,975 barrels appraised at $414,442
as against 156,316 barrels worth $159,579 in the preceding year.
In 1940, as in 1939, the wet process was employed in all Canadian cement plants with the
exception of one in Alberta where the dry method was continued.
Under the title “Cement as a War Time Industry” The Mining Journal, London, says,
in part:—“In view of the rigid economy now desirable in the use of timber and steel in the mining
industry, the varied uses of cement may be considered. Underground, considerable attention is
now being devoted to re-enforced concrete pit props. Prior to the war very large quantities of
pit props were imported, as there was no shortage of material and wood was cheap. Under
present conditions supplies have been curtailed for obvious reasons, and timber is now far more
expensive . . . experiments with re-enforced concrete props gave details of practical results
at the coal face . . . the experiments demonstrated that re-enforced concrete props set with
release devices can be used over and over again on working faces under normal roof conditions,
that is, where the height reduction between the coal face and the edge of the waste, where the
prop is withdrawn, is within the limits of the released device. ‘The height reduction in the region
where the concrete props were set was less than that in the adjacent areas where steel props were
used, because the steel props, having a much smaller bearing area than the release devices, pene-
trated the floor. ... The sanitary system of a well known town in India is largely constructed
of Hume pipes and cement tanks. The Hume pipes were made locally in a wide variety of sizes
and employed for a number of purposes. Seetions of the large diameter pipes with cement
bottoms were very popular as storage tanks for domestic water supplies. .. . one of the recent
uses of cement is for the manufacture of re-enforced concrete sleepers. These sleepers can be
advantageously employed in and around works and for sidings.”’
The new 12,000-barrel per day plant of the Permanente Corporation, Los Altos, California,
has set what is probably an all-time low in raw-grinding cost. Grinding is done in two stages,
the first consisting of ball mills in closed circuit with Dorr classifiers, giving a minus of 48 mesh
product, and the second stage consisting of ball mills in closed circuit with Dorr bowl classifiers,
giving a product 96 per cent of which is minus 200 mesh. The power consumption is said to be
10 to 11 kilowatt-hours per barrel of cement. (U.S. Bureau of Mines.)
“Portland cement is the product that is obtained by pulverizing to a fine consistency a clinker
produced by calcining to incipient fusion an intimate mixture of properly proportioned argil-
laceous and calcareous substances, with only such additions subsequent to calcining as may be
necessary to control setting and certain other properties. Such additions, which usually comprise
about 3 to 33 per cent by weight of the calcined product, consist principally of gypsum or mixtures
of gypsum and anhydrite. The principal combinations of raw materials are (1) limestone with
clay or shale, (2) cement rock (argillaceous limestone either alone or with high calcium limestone),
(3) blast-furnace slag and limestone, (4) marl and clay, and (5) oyster, shells and clay.
“Some years ago all Portland cement had fairly constant and uniform properties; in other
words, there was only one standard Portland cement. In recent years the varied demands of
construction have led to the development of a variety of Portland cements each adapted to a
particular use. These include high-early-strength, masonry, low heat, and oil well cements.
Mey what ” (U.S. Bureau of Mines)

Quebec, 9 in British Columbia, 6 in Alberta, 1 in Nova Scotia, 4 in New Brunswick, 1 in Manitoba
and 2 in Saskatchewan. The Ontario plants accounted for 52 per cent of the total production;
establishments in Quebec contributed 38 per cent, and works in British Columbia accounted for
5 per cent, the remaining 5 per cent being distributed among New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Products included ready-mixed concrete worth $1,757,675, cement pipe of all kinds at
$791,371, hollow building blocks of cement at $934,702, cinder blocks at $275,169, artificial stone
at $155,500, cement bricks at $52,616, and other items such as haydite blocks and slabs, laundry
tubs, burial vaults, etc.
Data presented for this industry cover manufacturing only and do not include figures for the
cement work done on the building of bridges, dams, foundations, etc.; this type of work has been
covered in the annual survey of construction.

THE CLAY AND CLAY PRODUCTS INDUSTRY

The industrial clays of Canada may be classified as common clays, stoneware clays, fireclays,
and china clays. Statistically, the ceramic industry of Canada is conveniently classified into two
divisions: (1) Production from domestic clays, which includes the production of building brick,
structural tile, drain tile, roofing tile, stoneware, sewer pipe, pottery and refractories, and (2)
production from imported clays, which includes the manufacture of electrical porcelain, sanitary
ware, sewer pipe, table ware, pottery, ceramic floor and wall tile, and various kinds of fireclay
refractories.
A total of 164 plants representing a total capital investment of $22,505,633 operated in the
domestic and imported clay products industries in Canada during 1940. These two industries
provided employment for 3,938 persons during the year; their earnings totalled $4,248,861. The
combined production in 1940 was valued at $10,848,338 compared with $8,123,215 in 1939.
1. Production from Domestic Clays, 1940
The gross value of Canadian producers’ sales of domestic clays and products made from
same totalled $6,344,547 in 1940 compared with $5,151,236 in 1939 and $13,904,643, the all-time
high record established in 1929. Commercial production of domestic clay products in 1940 was
reported from every province except Prince Edward Island; no output of these materials has as
yet been recorded for the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Of the total value of sales in 1940,
Ontario and Quebec firms contributed $2,508,540 and $1,546,246 respectively.
531387—14
Sales of building brick in 1940 totalled 191,213 thousand, valued at $3,277,187. Sewer pipe
shipments aggregated $1,152,603; hollow blocks, roofing and abe tile, $803,948; drain tile,
$277,551 and pottery, including belrbh iWrne! $474,452.
Fireclay was mined in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and British Columbia and sales of this
material totalled 4,881 short tons valued at $30,564. Firebrick made from Canadian clays in
1940 numbered 3,167 thousand worth $165,525. Bentonite shipments during the year under.
review amounted to 1,469 short tons valued at $4,488.
The number of firms reported as active in the Canadian domestic clay products industry
totalled 189 in 1940, of which 75 were located in Ontario, 19 in Quebec, 12 in British Columbia,
12 in Alberta and the balance in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Capital employed by the industry as a whole was reported at $17,146,443, employees numbered
2,557 and salaries and wages paid amounted to $2,675,251. Fuel and electricity used during
1940 were appraised at $1,282,593 and chemicals and various other process supplies consumed
were valued at $139,635.
Imports into Canada in 1940 of clay and its products, in all forms, were valued at $11,125,118
compared with $7,934,630 in 1939. Of the 1939 imports, $3,610,781 came from the United
Kingdom and $3,887,187 from the United States; corresponding data for 1940 are not published.
Exports in 1940 of clay and clay products made in Canada were appraised at $498,047 com-
pared with $542,788 in 1939.
The following information is from an annual report for 1940 as prepared by the Bureau of
Mines, Ottawa:
“The largest producing area in Canada of stoneware clay or semi-fireclays lies in the vicinity
of Eastend and Willows, Saskatchewan, where large quantities of the clavs are selectively mined
and shipped to Medicine Hat, Alberta, to be extensively utilized (owing to the availability of
cheap gas fuel) in the manufacture of stoneware, sewer pipe and pottery.
“Stoneware clays and moderately refractory fireclays occur near Shubenacadie and Mus-
quodoboit, Nova Scotia. A small amount of the Musquodoboit clay is used for the production of
pottery, but there has been no extensive exploitation of these clays for ceramic use.
“Stoneware clays or low-grade fireclays are known to occur near Williams Lake, and Chimney
Creek Bridge in British Columbia; in the Cypress Hills of Alberta, and near Swan River, Mani-
toba, but as yet there has been little or no development, owing to their comparative inaccessi-
bility.
“Two large plants and a few small plants in Canada manufacture fireclay refractories from
domestic clay. One, about 50 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, extracts a high grade,
moderately plastic fireclay (by underground mining) from the clay beds in the Sumas Mountain,
and manufactures firebrick and other refractory materials. Another plant at Claybank, Saskat-
chewan, by selective mining, utilizes the highly plastic refractory clays from the ‘‘White Mud’
beds of southern Saskatchewan.
‘““A small amount of the most refractory clays in the deposits near Shubeneadie is mined and
used by the steel plant at Sydney, Nova Scotia for refractory purposes and the Musquodoboit
clay is utilized to some extent for stove linings. Except for a few small concerns manufacturing
refractory specialties, and companies producing firebrick, blocks, etc., for their own use, all other
manufacturers of fireclay refractories in Canada utilize imported clay.
“China clay has been produced commercially in Canada only from the vicinity of St. Remi
d’Amherst, Papineau county, Quebec, where a group of open pits were operated for several years
prior to 1923. In 1937 a reorganized company was formed to extract the kaolinized material
by underground mining and to refine it into high grade china clay, washed silica sand forming a
by-product. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of 365 feet, and a mill erected to carry out the
washing process in accordance with the most modern methods. In 1931 a nearby property was
developed, mainly for the production of silica sand, but a small amount of china clay has also been
produced.
“Important deposits of high grade, plastic white-burning clays, and buff-burning clays occur
in the Mattagami, Abitibi, and Missinaibi rivers in northern Ontario. Some may be classed as
china clays, some as fireclays, and others as ball clays. They have aroused much interest in
recent years, but have not as yet been commercially developed, owing to their remoteness from
industrial centres, and the lack of transportation facilities.
4
“In British Columbia, along the Fraser river, about 25 miles above Prince George, is an
extensive deposit of high grade clay, parts of which yield a grade of china clay that compares
favourably with the best china clays found on this continent. Transport by barge to railway has
been considered but as yet little development has taken place.
“In the manufacture of such products as porcelain, sanitary ware, dinner ware, ceramic
floor and wall tile, etc., china clay imported from England is used almost entirely. In addition
to clay for ceramic use, large annual importations of china clay are made into Canada for use in
the production of fine paper, in the rubber industry, and for other industrial purposes. The im-
ports of china clay in 1940 were valued at $483,399, compared with $376,750 for the previous year.
“Ball clays of high bond strength occur in the white mud beds of southern Saskatchewan
but as yet these have not been developed to any extent.
Common clays suitable for the production of building brick and tile are to be found in all
the provinces of Canada. ;
“Compared to world production, the value of clay products manufactured in Canada is very
small, and large quantities of the various kinds of ceramic products are imported annually. The
total value of manufactured ceramic products imported into Canada was $9,677,723 in 1940,
compared with $6,992,382 in 1939.”

Nore.—In addition to the clays recorded in this table, there were 105,982 tons of ordinary clay consumed in Canada
during 1939 in the production of Portland cement; the corresponding consumption in 1940 was 144,152 short tons. Also
consumed by the Canadian cement industry in 1940 were 18,347 short tons of shale.

BENTONITE
(Bureau of Mines, Ottawa)
Bentonite, mainly of the highly colloidal, “‘swelling”’ type, is widely distributed over large
areas of the Prairie Provinces, where it occurs at several horizons in the upper Cretaceous sedi-
ments. The more important known deposits are exposed mainly in areas dissected by drainage
channels where they show as beds in the slopes bordering valleys, and in the sides or on top of
small buttes in typical ‘‘bad-land’’ topography. ‘Thus, many of the chief exposurse are found in
the Red Deer Valley section of Alberta; over a wide area in southern Saskatchewan; and in the
district around Morden, in southern Manitoba. One lower-lying bed is met with as a persistent
parting in the No. 1 or main coal seam mined at a number of points in the Drumheller district,
Alberta, as well as near Cluny, further to the east. Other exposures exist in the Edmonton
region, Alberta, and further west, on the McLeod river, near Edson.
In British Columbia, a deposit of unusual thickness occurs in Tertiary beds near Merritt,
and at Princeton.
Until a few years ago, comparatively little interest had been shown in Canadian bentonite
and most of the small production had come from the Princeton occurrence in British Columbia,
from which a few cars are shipped annually to Vancouver for grinding and local consumption,
mainly in gasoline refining. Some six years ago, attention became directed to the Morden
deposits and there have since been occasional small shipments, most of which went to the local
foundry trade at Winnipeg. In 1940, Pembina Mountain Clays, Limited, was incorporated by
Winnipeg interests to undertake more active development, and a small drying and grinding plant
was erected at Winnipeg to supply foundry clay. The bentonite of this district has been reported
to possess high bleaching power in its natural state, without activation, and the company plans to
engage also in the production of clay for the packing house and oil refining industries.
The largest tonnage of bentonite produced in Canada has come from the Drumheller district,
in the Red Deer valley, Alberta, where, since 1937, several concerns have been engaged in ship-
ping clay for use in oil well drilling in the Turner Valley field. The larger part of such output
has come from the Gordon L. Kidd property at Drumheller, being shipped to a drying and grinding
plant at Calgary operated by the Calgary Mud Company, who market their product under the
trade name “‘Altamud”. ‘The remainder has been obtained mainly from coal mines operated
by the Aetna Coal Company, at East Coulee, and Wayne Coal Producers Association, at. Wayne,
the material being shipped to a small plant at Longview, in Turner Valley, for processing and sale
under the trade name ‘“‘Viscolite’. Shipments from the above concerns in 1940 totalled about
750 tons; total production to date from the area has been about 3,000 tons.
There has as yet been little attempt to exploit occurrences in Saskatchewan, but a small trial
shipment was made some years ago from a deposit near Eastend.
Canada exports little or no bentonite. Substantial quantities of activated clay of the
Filtrol type are imported from the United States for bleaching purposes in oil refineries and for
packing-house products, as well as, possibly, some ground natural bentonite for similar use.
There are also considerable imports of American ground bentonite for foundry use and for other
minor industrial purposes. Imports of activated clay, for oil refining, in 1940, were valued at
$196,467, with no record of quantity.
Outside of the three main above-listed uses, viz., for bleaching, oil-well drilling, and foundry
work, bentonite finds a variety of minor industrial applications, most of which call for the col-
loidal, or ‘“‘swelling’, type. It is employed as an emulsifying agent in asphaltic and resinous
compounds; in soaps and detergents, as well as in a variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical
preparations; as a suspending, spreading, and adhesive agent in horticultural sprays and insecti-
cides; as a plasticizing ingredient in ceramic bodies, slips, and glazes, and in plasters; to improve
the flow and workability of concrete; and in the clarifying of wines, vinegar, etc. Increasing
amounts are being used for water-sealing, in order to stop seepage through or around dam abut-
ments, reservoir walls, and sides or irrigation ditches, and structural foundations. A further
growing use is as a coagulant in clarifying the water used in paper mills and sewage disposal plants,
as well as to remove turbidity in domestic and industrial water supplies. Research directed to
a
MINERAL PRODUCTION OF CANADA “207
producing a mica substitute from bentonite films has been actively pursued during the last couple
of years, but at latest report the product (‘‘Alsifilm’’) was still in the development stage. Some
very fine (micron-size) material is used in paper coatings.
War demands greatly stimulated bentonite sales in the United States for general foundry
work in 1939-1940, both for domestic use and export, and producing plants were working at full
capacity. Canada probably possesses ample reserves of bentonite of foundry quality to supply
domestic requirements, but freight costs to the main consuming centres have proved an obstacle
to development in the face of low-priced material from the United States. Wyoming dried and
ground 200-mesh clay currently sells for $8 per ton, f.o.b., in bulk, ‘and $10 bagged, whereas,
similar material from Alberta has been quoted at $38. Selected, air-floated Wyoming clay is
priced at $25 per ton, f.o.b. Chicago. Freight rates from Wyoming points to Montreal are about
$13.50 per ton. Activated bentonite has sold for $65 to $75 per.ton, in carload lots, delivered
eastern Canadian points.

2. Products from Imported Clays

This industry covers the operations of Canadian plants which were occupied chiefly in
making ceramic products from imported clays. Products made in these plants during 1940
included high tension insulators, vitreous china sanitary ware, china dinnerware, firebrick, sewer
pipe, floor and wall tile, refractory cements, electrical porcelains, etc.
Twenty-one plants reported in this group for 1940 and their output was valued at $4,503,791,
against last year’s total of $2,971,979 and the 1938 figure of $3,048,888. Capital employed
amounted to $5,359,190. The average number of workers was 1,381 and payments for salaries
and wages totalled $1,573,610. Fuel and electricity cost $302,773 and materials for use in
manufacturing processes cost $1,084,669.

LIME
Production of quick and hydrated lime in Canada during 1940 totalled 716,730 short tons
output
valued at $5,194,555 compared with 552,209 short tons at $4,003,514 in 1939. The 1940
lime valued at $4,421,758 and 92,927 short tons of hydrated
comprised 623,803 short tons of quick
lime worth $772,797. During the year under review, 568,479 tons of quick lime and 44,421 tons
balance of
of hydrated lime were sold or used by lime producers for chemical purposes while the
Canadian lime production, totalling 103,830 tons and consisting of both quick and hydrated was
sold or used for building, agricultural and other purposes.
Stone used in the production of lime in Canada included calcium, high calcium and dolomitic
varieties of limestone. It is estimated that about 1,200,000 tons of limestone were utilized in the
the
production of lime in 1940. Lime was produced in all Canadian provinces in 1940 with
reported
exception of Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan; no commercial production was
in the Territories. Of the total Canadian output of lime in 1940, Ontario plants produced 372,634
tons or 52 per cent and Quebec 233,419 tons or 33 per cent. Imports of lime into Canada in 1940
came entirely from the United States and totalled 4,126 short tons valued at $23,352; exports of
lime duririg the same period amounted to 23,617 tons at $121,340.
$5,107,739
During 1946 the industry reported 55 plants as active; capital employed totalled
salaries and wages were distributed to 962 employees. The cost of fuels and
and $1,003,671 in
chemicals and
purchased electricity used amounted to $1,424,047 and the value of explosives,
other process supplies consumed aggregated $177,499.

“In addition to the recently developed new use for white high-calcium lime
paper, a number of other new uses for Cana-
calcium carbonate filler for newsprint and magazine
been developed lately, several of them in connection with the manufactur e of war
dian lime have
on stabilizatio n of clay-soil roads with hydrated
materials. Recent research in the United States
has shown that on certain clays better results are obtained with lime than with other stabil-
lime
izing materials.
“During 1940, Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine Canada Limited, further increased
the capacity
of its chemical lime plant at Beachville, Ontario, by the addition of a new,
vertical, gas-fired kiln,
and the three large kilns of this type are now being supplied with producer
gas instead of natural
gas. The new kilns are regarded as being among the most modern
shaft kilns on this continent
and they represent a notable advance in the technology of manufacturing
lime in vertical kilns.
‘‘Aged lime putty and lime mortar for use in building construction are
now available in a
number of Canadian cities. Lime mortar is coming back into favour as
a binder in masonry, and
sales of lime for this purpose have increased very considerably within
the past two years and,
with the present high degree of activity in the construction industry,
are expected to increase
further in the coming year.
“There are many prospective lime-producing localities in Canada because
of the abundance
of suitable limestone throughout the country. With the northward development of the mining
industry, considerable interest is being manifested in making lime
from limestone deposits in the
far north.”

SAND-LIME BRICK INDUSTRY

Four plants in Ontario and one in Quebec made sand-lime building brick during 1940. Their
production, including building blocks and bricks, was valued at $319,909, an increase of 51 per
cent over 1939, which in turn was 38 per cent over 1938.
These 5 works, representing an investment of $385,930, gave employment to a monthly
average of 103 people who were paid $116,442 in salaries and wages. Expenditures for fuel and
electricity amounted to $28,939 and for processing materials to $116,983.
Production of sand-lime brick amounted to 17,405 M valued at $196,423, an increase in both
quantity and value over the output of 11,805 M brick at $133,168 the previous year. Production
value of sand-lime building blocks dropped to $47,565 from $67 407.

SAND AND GRAVEL INDUSTRY
Commercial production of sand and gravel in Canada during 1940 totalled 31,375,415 short
tons valued at $11,759,245 compared with 31,294,341 short tons at $11,241,102 in 1939. In the
totals for both 1940 and the preceding year are sand and gravel derived from all sources, including
recoveries by dredges and material used by railroads as ballast.
Quebee and Ontario are Canada’s largest sand and gravel producing provinces, the output
in these provinces in 1940 being, respectively, 12,177,624 short tons and 9,678,745 short tons; in
1940, the quantity of material washed or screened at Canadian sand and gravel plants totalled
3,589,933 short tons compared with 2,754,122 short tons in 1939, while the quantity of bank or
pit-run grades amounted to 27,785,482 short tons as against a corresponding tonnage of 28,540,219
Of the total sand and gravel output in 1940, there were 21,465,961 tons used for concrete,
roads, ete., and 3,834,904 tons as railway ballast. In addition, there were produced 1,961,604
tons of straight sand for building, ete.; 29,602 tons for moulding; 2,115 tons as core sand and
51,340 tons for other purposes. The quantity of crushed gravel produced during the year under
review amounted to 2,998,843 tons and 1,031,046 tons of sand were employed as mine fill.
Firms reported as active in the Canadian sand and gravel industry numbered 1,458 in 1940;
of these, 889 were located in Quebec, 484 in Ontario, 29 in British Columbia and lesser numbers in
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Capital employed by the
industry totalled $3,456,502; employees were reported at 4,243; salaries and wages paid totalled
$3,744,585; fuel, electricity and process supplies used aggregated $291,008 and the total net value
of production was estimated at $11,468,237.
The following is from a report prepared by the Bureau of Mines, Ottawa:

‘Deposits of gravel and sand are numerous throughout Eastern Canada, with the exception of
Prince Edward Island, where gravel is scarce. Owing to the widespread occurrence of gravel and
sand and to their bulk in relation to value, local needs for these materials are usually supplied
from the nearest deposits, as their cost to the consumer is governed largely by the length of haul.
Hence the large number of small pits and the small number of large plants. Some grades of sand
particularly suitable for certain industries command a much higher price than does ordinary sand.
“Road improvement, concrete works and railway ballast absorb by far the greater part of
the gravel and sand used. Gravel in particular has proved a good material for building all-
weather roads at low cost and its use has steadily increased with the growth of motor traffic.
“A considerable tonnage of sand and gravel is also used in the mines for re-filling underground
workings. Some mines use several thousand tons a day.
“Most of the gravel used for road work comes from pits worked for that purpose. Usually
a portable or semi-portable plant is used to extract enough gravel to supply the immediate need
and then a sufficient reserve is built up, in the form of stock piles, for two years’ requirements.
Road pits may remain idle for two years or more. The amount of gravel produced from year to
year thus fluctuates, depending on the program of road construction and improvement. Inter-
mittent operation also applies to railway pits, which may remain idle for several years.
“Part of the gravel used is crushed, screened and in some cases even washed and the pro-
portion thus processed is increasing steadily. Some Provincial Highway Departments have
used crushed instead of pit-run gravel on their main highways for a number of years. Most of the
large commercial plants are equipped for producing crushed gravel, a product than can compete
with crushed stone.
“The amount of sand consumed follows the trend of building activity, as most of it is used
in the building industry for concrete work, cement and lime mortar, or wall plaster. The sand
must be clean, that is, free from dust, loam, organic matter or clay, and contain but little silt, and
is usually obtainable from local deposits.
“Other important uses of sand are for moulding in foundries, filtering of water supply, and
glass making, all of which require special grades of sand.
“Tevery province except New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island produces natural bonded
moulding sand. A small production came formerly from New Brunswick, one deposit being
operated in 1918 and another in 1921 and 1922. A small production, of a grade suitable only
for light weight castings, also came from Prince Edward Island. By far the greater part of the
production has always been in Ontario in the Niagara peninsula, from Niagara to and around
Hamilton. Occasionally new deposits have been opened up, mostly in Ontario and the western
provinces. '
“Tt is estimated that 50 to 60 per cent of our consumption of natural bonded moulding sand
is imported, mostly from the United States. Moulding sands as well as other sands and gravels
enter Canada duty free.
“Small quantities of moulding sands not tabulated in official records are produced in nearly
all the provinces by foundrymen for their own use from nearby deposits; or by small part-time
operators, such as, farmers for local foundries.”

THE STONE INDUSTRY IN CANADA
The Stone Industry in Canada comprises two main divisions:—1. Tur Stonr QUARRYING
Inpustry, including quarries and dressing works operated in conjunction with quarries, and
2.
Tue Stone Propucts Inpustry, comprising the operations of firms having no quarries
but who
operate dressing works where stone for building and monumental purposes is cut, polished
or
otherwise finished. In the Census of Industry, statistics on the stone quarrying industry
are
included under mining, while statistics of the Stone Products industry are included under
manu-
factures. For convenience this report carries data for both of these industries.
These two major divisions, constituting the Canadian stone industry, represented a capital
investment of $16,825,174 in 1940. Production during the year totalled $10,991,582 which
figure includes the value of the quarry output and the value added by manufacturing
in the
secondary stone industry. Salaried employees and wage-earners employed in 1940 numbered
3,947 and their combined earnings amounted to $4,016,528.
The two industries are treated separately in the following review.
1. Primary Production—The Stone Quarrying Industry
The kinds of stone quarried in Canada include granite (trap rock, syenite and other
igneous
rock), limestone, marble, sandstone, and slate. Stone of almost every known variety occurs in
Canada; rocks of the igneous areas of British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario,
Quebec and the
Maritime Provinces exhibit a wide range of physical characteristics, some varieties
being especially
noted for their richness of colour and beauty of crystallization. The sedimentary rocks, including
limestones, sandstones and marbles are quarried at various points in Canada.
The products
from quarries operating in these different formations not only yield high
class structural and
decorative materials but provide the chemical and other allied industries
with many of their
increasing requirements.
The gross value of all varieties of stone produced in Canada during 1940 totalled
$7,398,959
compared with $6,475,696 in 1939. Comprising the tonnage shipped
in 1940 were 1,147,747
tons of granite valued at $1,884,410; 6,108,591 tons of limestone at
$5,126,075; 13,739 tons of
marble at $75,409; 176,475 tons of sandstone at $305,543 and 1,118 tons
of slate worth $7,522.
Of the total value of stone sold in 1940, the value of Quebec shipments
amounted to 38 per. cent,
Ontario 46 per cent and British Columbia 6 per cent.
The number of firms in the stone quarrying industry reported as active

in 1940 totalled 482;
capital employed amounted to $12,127, 271; employees numbered 2,886;
salaries and wages paid
aggregated $2,779,703 and the cost of fuel, electricity and process supplies
used was reported at
$1,204,375.
Data relating to imports and exports of stone in 1940 are not published
and for information
relating to same, communications should be addressed to the External
Trade Branch of the
Dominion Bureau of Statistics,

GRANITE
“The stone quarried in this industry consists of granite and related crystalline igneous rocks
used for building, decorative, ornamental, or constructional purposes. Producing properties
are situated in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia.
Large areas in Canada are underlain by granite, and the prospects of finding stone suitable for its
various uses are good.
“Much of the granite produced in Canada is used for foundations for highways; for the per-
manent ballasting of railway roadbeds; for heavy aggregate in large concrete structures; for the
filling of breakwaters; and for bridge piers. The marked curtailment of such operations during
the past several years has seriously affected production. Production is still far below the record
years.
“Granite for monumental use is produced in the Maritime Provinces and in Quebec, Ontario,
Manitoba, and British Columbia, and is finding a small but steadily increasing market. Early
in 1939 an appreciable amount of foreign stone, principally of the black and red varieties, was
imported, mainly from Finland and Sweden, but this source of supply is now cut off. Black
granite has been quarried in Canada, notably in the vicinity of Lake St. John, Quebec, and from
quarries along the north shore of Lake Superior, and stone from these areas should find a ready
market for monumental use. Other deposits of ‘black granite’ in the Maritime Provinces,
Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba show promise of yielding stone of good quality.
“Now that shipments from the Scandinavian countries to the United States and to Canada
have been discontinued, Canadian producers would be well advised to give careful study to the
market possibilities of a monumental stock, especially for the black and red varieties.
“In the building trade, coloured granites are being used to an increasing extent in the form
of thin polished slabs for trim for buildings in which the main colour scheme calls for contrast.
“Canadian granites are suitable for all the purposes for which granite is used, and with per-
sistent advertising there is no reason why this industry should not have a flourishing future.”
(Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

LIMESTONE
‘Limestone, because of the great variety and importance of its industrial uses, is the most
useful of all rocks. It is quarried in all provinces of Canada except Prince Edward Island and
Saskatchewan but by far the greater part of the production comes from Ontario and Quebec. ,
“Limestone is available in great bedded formations and in massive highly metamorphosed
deposits—the former being much more common and yielding most of the production. At present,
almost all Canadian limestone is won by open pit methods, though underground mining of the
rock has been adopted by several companies producing limestone for chemical and metallurgical
uses and for making lime. Underground mining will undoubtedly become more common, par-
ticularly for the production of high-grade stone for chemical use, as the readily accessible parts
of deposits become worked out.
“‘Of significance in connection with future production of pure limestone is the progress being
made in beneficiation, whereby siliceous material is in part removed from limestone by flotation.
This method of purifying limestone is now in use at several Portland cement plants in various
parts of the world.
“Timestone is widely distributed and is quarried on a large scale in all industrial countries.
Rarely is there any considerable international trade in it, but, because foreign limestone can be
obtained more cheaply at certain large consuming centres in Canada than the domestic, consider-
able quantities are imported from the United States and Newfoundland for use as blast furnace
flux, and from the United States alone for road metal, and for use in some pulp mills in Ontario
near the International Boundary. Comparatively small tonnages are exported to the United
States for use in agriculture and in sugar refineries. No separate record is maintained of the
trade in limestone.
: “For domestic use limestone is marketed in a varicty of forms ranging from huge squared
blocks of dimension stone used in construction, to extremely fine dust used chiefly as a mineral
_ filler. Some few of the products are processed but little if at all from the condition in which the
_ rock is obtained from the quarry, as for example limestone used in the wood pulp industry, but
the bulk of the output is crushed and screened for use as road metal, concrete aggregate, railroad
ballast, and as flux in metallurgical plants. Large quantities are used in the manufacture of
Portland cement, lime, and various chemical products. Argillaceous dolomite is used in the
manufacture of rock wool. This industry is steadily expanding in Canada and in 1940 its output
was valued at over $1,000,000.
“New uses for limestone are continually being developed. The dolomitic variety when
crushed or when calcined has long been used as a refractory material for fettling the bottoms of
basic open-hearth furnaces, but its applications as a refractory have been limited because of the
readiness with which it air-slakes and also because of its chemical activity. Recently, however, a
' method has been found of combining dolomite (and also calcium limestone) with silica in the
presence of a stabilizing agent to give a refractory product that contains no active lime or silica,
does not disintegrate, and is claimed to be comparable in refractoriness with materials that are
several times as expensive. Dolomite is assuming a position of importance in EKurope as a raw
material for making metallic magnesium, where after being calcined it is used to precipitate.
magnesia from sea-water. Processes are also being developed to extract magnesium directly
from calcined dolomite. Canada possesses ample deposits of high-grade dolomite and develop-
ments are being watched with interest in this country. A present use for limestone, capable of
enormous development, is in agriculture. Though the necessity of applying limestone or lime to
agricultural land in order to maintain or increase soil fertility has been emphasized for years by
authorities on agriculture, the quantity so used in Canada is still very small, whereas, if the proper
quantity were applied it would constitute one of the principal outlets for limestone.
“Timestone in blocks of large dimensions for sawing into building stone is quarried in Quebec,
Ontario, and Manitoba. In Quebec, quarries at St. Marc des Carriéres, Portneuf county, produce
grey limestone, and several in and near Montreal yield limestone of similar colour. In Ontario,
a large quarry near Queenston in the Niagara peninsula yields silver-grey limestone as well as
small quantities of buff and of variegated buff and grey; and at Longford Mills, near Orillia, buff,
silver-grey, and brown limestone for use both as marble and as building stone is available. The
Manitoba quarries are near Tyndall and yield mottled buff, mottled grey, and mottled variegated
limestone. Besides these large quarries, the products of which have a wide shipping range, small
quarries producing building stone for local use are worked near Quebec City, Montreal, and Hull
in the province of Quebec; and at Ottawa, Kingston, Erin, and Wiarton in Ontario. Rubble is
their chief product.
“Prices of limestone in the mill block f.o.b. quarry have remained almost stationery in recent
years, and range from 50 cents to $1 per cubic foot, depending on the size of block and grade of
stone.” (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

MARBLE
“Marble quarries are operated in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British
Columbia. The products include squared blocks for sawing into slabs and for making monu-
ments, and broken marble for rubble and for making terrazzo, stucco dash, whiting substitute,
marble flour and artificial stone. Waste from some of the quarries is sold for chemical uses and
for road metal.
“In Quebec, several varieties of clouded grey marble and also a black marble are quarried at
Phillipsburg by Missisquoi Stone and Marble Company, Limited. Some brown marble used for
counters and wainscoting is obtained from the building stone quarries in the Trenton limestones
of St. Mare des Carriéres, Portneuf county. Dolomitic white marble is quarried and crushed by
_ White Grit Company at Portage du Fort, Pontiac county, and by Canada Marble and Lime
Company at l’Annonciation, Labelle county, for the making of terrazzo chips, stucco dash, poultry
grit, artificial stone, and for the chemical and ceramic uses. A small quantity of dark red marble
is quarried at Cap St. Martin near Montreal, chiefly for making tombstones.
“Tn Ontario, black marble is quarried at St. Albert, near Ottawa, by Silvertone Black Marble
Quarries, Limited. Recently a 40-inch bed of marble was uncovered in this quarry which, because
of its soundness and uniformity, is suitable for making large monolithic pillars. White marble
is quarried at Marmora by Bonter Marble and Calcium Company, Limited, and at Haliburton
by Bolendar Brothers for making terrazzo chips, poultry grit, stucco dash, and artificial stone.
Bonter Marble and Calcium Company also produces white marble in block form. Buff, red,
white, green and black marbles are quarried, near Eldorado, Hastings county, by Karl Stocklosar
of Madoe, for use as terrazzo.
“In Manitoba, a number of highly coloured marbles are available but there is only a small
production to supply terrazzo chips and building rubble.
“In Alberta, a deposit of calcareous tufa near Radnor station on the Canadian Pacific railway
has been quarried for terrazzo and a small quantity has also been marketed in block form.
“In British Columbia there are many deposits of marble but there is only a small production
of white marble near Victoria and on Texada island for the production of terrazzo, poultry grit,
marble sand, and whiting substitute.
“Many known deposits of beautifully coloured marbles have never been fully investigated
chiefly because the present demand in Canada for marble of any one colour, other than for a
staple variety, such as, white, is comparatively small.
‘Imports of marble during 1940 had a value of $84,005 compared with $97,797 in 1939.
Current imports of marble are largely in the form of unpolished slabs and in the form of sawn
stock for tombstones, the finishing being done in the marble mills throughout Canada. Most of
the imports of marble blocks are from the United States.
“The Canadian market calls for interior decorative marble almost entirely, and very little is
used for exteriors of buildings. A considerable quantity is, however, used for tombstones. In
recent years there has been an increasing demand for marble in the form of terrazzo for flooring,
and many inquiries have reached the Bureau of Mines as to where marbles of various colours
could be obtained.” (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

SANDSTONE
Canadian sandstone has been utilized extensively in the construction of many important
public buildings in Canada and is finding increasing favour as a material in the construction of
the better type home. The rock occurs in Canada in a variety of colours, including white, reddish
brown, yellow and grey. Shipments of sandstone were made in 1940 from quarries located in all
of the provinces with the exception of Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The greater part of the output in 1940 was employed as rubble and riprap and in the crushed
state for concrete, highway construction and railroad ballasting. Sandstone in British Columbia,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has been employed in the manufacture of abrasive wheels and
sharpening stones.

SLATE
Canadian slate production in 1940 came entirely from the provinces of Quebec and British
Columbia and represented shipments of the stone in the form of granules for roofing purposes.
No Canadian deposits of slate suitable for the production of high grade roofing slates or shingles
have been reported as being under development in recent years.

WHITING SUBSTITUTE
‘Whiting substitute, as the name implies, is a material that may be used in place of chalk
whiting, all of which originates in England or in Europe. Until 1940 all whiting substitute made
in Canada was made from white limestone or white marble. In 1940 production of whiting
substitute from white marl began by White Valley Chemicals, Limited, at Bobcaygeon, Ontario.
Whiting substitute is used mostly in the manufacture of oilcloth, linoleum, in certain kinds of
rubber products, in putty, and in explosives. In lesser quantities it is used in the manufacture of
moulded articles, cleaning compounds and polishes, as a ceramic glaze, and for a number of other
purposes.
‘The products made from white marble or white limestone are pulverized to various degrees
of fineness ranging from 200 to 400 mesh, and the raw material used contains very little mag-
nesium carbonate, though in the past a whiting substitute made from white dolomite was produced
in Eastern Canada for making putty.
“The principal differences between whiting and whiting substitute made from marble or
limestone are that the latter is usually whiter, has a low capacity for abosrbing oil, and the indi-
vidual particles are sub-angular rather than rounded.
“Marl suitable for making whiting substitute should be white or nearly so, be nearly free from
grit and clayey material, and have a very low content of organic matter. This last-named
constituent, which is present to some extent in all deposits of marl, renders the product unsuitable
for use as a filler in products such as putty and paint where it will come in contact with oils.
The oil-absorptive capacity of whiting substitute made from marl is usually greater than that of
whiting but in other respects the physical characteristics of the two products are much the same.
“Whiting substitute is manufactured by Pulverized Products, Limited, Montreal; by Claxton
Manufacturing Company, Toronto; by White Valley Chemicals, Limited, Toronto; by Gypsum,
Lime and Alabastine, Canada, Limited, Winnipeg; and by F. J. Beale, Limited, Van Anda,
Texada Island, British Columbia.
“Calcium carbonate filler, a product closely akin to whiting substitute and made by intro-
ducing carbon dioxide gas into milk-of-lime made from high-calcium quicklime, has been produced
in Canada for the past several years. Its use up to the present has been as a filler in newsprint
and book paper, and its manufacture has been undertaken by the paper companies using it.
Whiting substitute made from carefully processed white marl is said to be satisfactory for this use.
“By-product precipitated chalk, made from waste sludge resulting from the manufacture of
caustic soda from soda ash and lime, is classed as a whiting substitute, but its usefulness is
restricted by the fact that it almost invariably contains a small amount of free alkali. - The raw
materials for the manufacture of by-product precipitated chalk are available but it is not yet
being made in Canada.
“No separate record is kept by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics of the production, imports,
and exports of whiting substitute, but the industry has experienced a steady growth in recent
years because improvements in grinding equipment and the maintenance of close technical control
have enabled a product to be marketed that is very consistent in both chemical and physical
properties. Many manufacturers now use the domestic product with entire satisfaction in place
of imported whiting, and in the present situation when all European sources of whiting are cut
off from the Canadian market because of the war, the domestic industry is largely supplying the
Canadian market. Prices per ton in carload lots range from $8.00 to $15.00 per ton f.o.b. plants
in Eastern Canada’’. (Bureau of Mines, Ottawa).

2. SECONDARY PRODUCTION
THE STONE PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
In 1940 there were 177 stone dressing works whose operations were reported separately from
the quarries. These plants were engaged chiefly in cutting or polishing Canadian or imported
stone to produce finished monuments or cut and dressed stone for construction purposes. Retail
establishments engaged only in selling and lettering monuments have not been included. Five
producers of rock wool were also included in this industry.
Output from this industry was valued at $3,592,623 in 1940, a decline of 5-6 per cent from
the total of $3,805,989 reported for the previous year. The 81 works in Ontario accounted for
58 per cent of the total output and the 46 plants in Quebec for 24 per cent. The average number

DIAMOND DRILLING INDUSTRY, 1941
The number of firms reported as actively engaged in the contract diamond drilling of Cana-
_ dian mining properties in 1941 totalled 27 compared with 32 in 1940. Operations were con-
ducted in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia
and Northwest Territories. The income received by the industry from contract drilling oper-
ations completed during the year under review amounted to $3,122,487 as against $3,021,629 in
the preceding year. The number of employees in 1941 was reported at 1,455 and the amount of
salaries and wages distributed totalled $1,535,609. The footage drilled during 1941 in the
entire Dominion aggregated 2,793,420 feet, of which 59 per cent was completed in Ontario, 27
per cent in Quebec and 10 per cent in British Columbia.
The industry as a whole purchased, in 1941, borts, ballas, carbons, readyset and cast bits,
ete., valued at $861,253 compared with $881,085 in 1940.
Not included in this survey are data relating to the drilling of gas and oil wells and diamond
drilling conducted by Canadian mining companies with their own personnel and equipment.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Method of Computing Quantities and Values of the Mineral Production of Canada in 1940.
Arsenic.—White arsenic (AS,O;) shipped from Canadian smelters at its sales value.
Bismuth.—(a) Recoverable metal in silver-lead-bismuth bullion shipped to foreign smelters

for refining at an arbitrary price; (b) Bismuth metal produced at Canadian smelters valued at
the average New York price for the year.
Cadmium.—Smelter production valued at the average London price for the year.
Cobalt.—Cobalt content of the various cobalt products sold by the Ontario smelter producing
these products added to the cobalt content of ores and residues exported for treatment in foreign
smelters; the value given is the gross amount received by the shippers.
Copper.—(a) Recoverable copper in ores and concentrates exported valued at the average
London price for the year, in Canadian funds; (b) Copper in blister copper made at Manitoba,
Ontario and Quebec smelters valued at the average London price for the year in Canadian funds;
(c) Copper in copper-nickel matte exported from Canadian smelters valued at an arbitrary price
agreed upon between the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Ontario Department of Mines.
The price per pound used throughout 1940 to evaluate Canadian production was that agreed
upon by the Canadian Producers and the British Government.
Gold.—Gold in bullion produced and the recoverable gold in all other Canadian mine products
is valued at the standard rate of $20-671834 per fine ounce until the end of 1930. For succeeding
years, unless otherwise specified, gold is valued at the average price on world markets transposed
to Canadian funds.
Lead.—Recoverable lead in ores exported from Canada addedto lead contained in base
bullion made at Trail, B.C., valued at the average London quotations for the year in Canadian
funds. The average price used for 1940 was that agreed upon by contract between Canadian
producers and the British Government.
Nickel.—(a) Refined and electrolytic nickel produced at Canadian refineries valued in

Canadian funds at the average price obtained for such products sold during the year; (b) Nickel
in oxides and salts sold from Canadian smelters and refineries at its total selling value in Canadian
funds in the form in which it was sold; (c) Nickel in matte exported from Canada valued at an
arbitrary figure agreed upon by the Ontario Department of Mines and the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics (representative of the value of the nickel in matte form).
Platinum Group Metals.—Recoverable metals in smelter products and placer platinum at the
average London price and transposed to Canadian funds.
Silver.—Silver bullion produced and the recoverable silver in other smelter products, and
the recoverable silver in Canadian ores exported, at the average New York price in Canadian
funds for the refined metal.
Tellurium and Selenitum.—Smelter production valued at the average London price for the
year.
Zinc.—Refined zine produced by the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd., at Trail,
B.C., and by the Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Ltd., Flin Flon, Manitoba, and the
recoverable zinc in concentrates exported, valued at the average monthly price quoted in London,
in Canadian funds.
The average price used for 1940 was that agreed upon by contract between Canadian pro-
ducers and the British Government.
Coal.—Output tonnage evaluated prorata according to income from sales.
Oiher Non-Metallic Minerals, Clay Products and Structural Materials.—Shipments during the
year at their respective sales values.
Imports.—Statements and quantities and values are based on the declarations of importers, as
The value of imported merchandise is the fair market value or the price thereof when sold
for home consumption in the principal markets of the country whence and at the time when the
same were exported directly to Canada. The price and value of the goods in every case are
stated as in condition packed ready for shipment, the fair value being shown in the currency of
the country of export, and the selling price to the purchaser in Canada shown in the actual cur-
rency in which the goods were purchased. In the case of goods that are the manufacture or
produce of a foreign country, the currency of which is substantially depreciated, the value stated
is the value that would be placed on similar goods manufactured or purchased in the United
Kingdom and imported from that country, if such similar goods are made or produced there.
If similar goods are not made or produced in the United Kingdom, the value stated is the value
of similar goods made or produced in any European country,. the currency of which is not sub-
stantially depreciated.
Ezxports.—Statements of quantities and values are based on the declaration of exporters as

subsequently checked by government officials. |
The value of exports of Canadian merchandise is the actual cost or the value at the time of
exportation at the points in Canada whence originally shipped.
Weight.—Weight, where shown in imports and exports is the net weight of the goods, exclud-
ing the weight of the covers or receptacles, except in the cases of certain goods, as provided in
the tariff.
The expression ‘‘ton” means 2,000 pounds, and ewt. 100 pounds, avoirdupois. Where other
units of quantity are used, imperial standards apply.
Unless otherwise arranged, the data relating to the operations of less than three firms pro-
ducing the same commodity or mineral are not published separately.

PREFACE
Annual reports on the Mineral Production of Canada have been published since 1886. The
first reports were published by the Geological Survey of Canada, later by the Mines Branch of
the Department of Mines, and since 1921 by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
The present report contains final data on the production of Canada’s mines, together, with
details of capital employed in this major primary Canadian industry, salaries and wages paid,
the number of employees on the surface and underground, the amounts expended on fuel and
power and the power producing equipment installed, and the process supplies purchased.
Owing to the secret nature and strategic importance of much of the information in this
report, it has been decided to withhold it from general distribution until after hostilities have
ceased, but to preserve continuity of record it was considered advisable to have it printed.
It will be noted that no figures on imports or exports are included as has been the custom in
former years. The figures will be made available by the External Trade Branch of the Bureau
after the war and some saving in printing costs is achieved by their omission here.
It has been the practice for years to include in this report world production tables of all
important minerals. No figures on world production have been available since 1939. These
world tables will be published again when world censorship regulations are lifted.
As in previous years, the Bureau co-operated with the Mines Department of the provinces of
Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia in the collection of these
statistics. Forms are filled out in duplicate by the reporting companies, thereby saving the op-
erator extra work and resulting in uniform totals for Dominion and Provincial statistical.
bureaux.
The thanks of the Bureau are tendered to the mine and smelter operators for assistance giverr
and information made available. Railway and other transportation companies as well as smelter
operators outside of Canada have also furnished data, the receipt of which is gratefully acknowl-
edged.
The report has been prepared under the direction of Mr. W. H. Losee, B.Sc., Chief of the
Mining, Metallurgical and Chemical Branch, by Mr. R. J. McDowall, B.Sc., Mining Statistician.

principally
through the Controllers. A Steel Controller was appointed in June, 1940, and
in July the prices

The wartime rate of increase in price levels accelerated during 1941. The general wholesale
price index for Canada advanced 11-2 per cent from 84-2 in December, 1940 to 93-6 in December,
1941; and in the same period the cost of living index rose 7-2 per cent, from 108-0 to 115-8. The
rise was general, and struck its most rapid pace during the summer months. The increase im
area and intensity of the war caused many shortages of basic materials, and advances in shipping:

and insurance costs. The influence of these factors was clearly apparent in price levels
United States and the United Kingdom as well as Canada.
As the rise of prices gained momentum in the latter half of 1941, it became clear that controls
established over a few key commodities would not check the general advance, and an over-all
control of wages, rents, and commodity prices was imposed. On December | price movements in.

and additions, constitutes “The Maximum Prices Regula-

this level after December 1, but below it they could fluctuate freely. There were a few except-

ions: for instance the ceiling did not apply to fresh fruits and vegetables; and there was
maintenance of the ceiling on necessary
minimum price for wheat. Provision was made for
imported foods as well as on domestic foods and services.
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics index number of living costs on the base 1935-1939=100,
rose from 115-4 on January 2nd to 115-7 on February 2nd. A few increases among food prices
and certain miscellaneous items, offset to some extent by a fractional decline in clothing, accounted
for the advance. Living costs on February 2nd were 14-8 per cent above the August 1, 1939,
level.

TREND IN EMPLOYMENT
(Employment Statistics Branch—D.B.8.)
MINING
Mining in general showed eight monthly increases in 1941, resulting in the greatest volume
of employment in the twenty-one years of the record; the annual index was 176-7, compared with
168-4 in the preceding year, previously the highest figure.
In coal mining, the index averaged 94-8, or a few points above the 1940 figure of 91:3. The
labour force of the 105 cooperating operators included 26,056 workers in 1941, as against a mean
of 25,064 employees in 105 mines in the preceding year.
Employment generally in the extraction of metallic ores reached a new high level in 1941,
despite the existence of an industrial dispute in the latter part of the year which seriously affected
employment and earnings. The annual index stood at 366-5, as compared with the average of
350-9 in the preceding twelve months. The index varied between: 340-5 at January 1, and
378-9 at November 1. The staffs of the 200 reporting firms averaged 46,801 during the year
under review, compared with 43,983 in 210 mines during 1940. War-time demand for both
precious and base metals resulted in the maintenance of a high level of activity among producing
mines; however, in a number of cases it was reported that prospecting and development operations
were curtailed.
Non-metallic minerals, other than coal, provided more employment in 1941 than in any earlier
year since 1920. The index averaged 150-5, or 5-5 per cent above the 1940 figure of 142-6.
An average payroll of 10,119 persons was employed during 1941 by the 110 cooperating firms,
while those reporting in the preceding year had a mean of 9,571. Quarries and other divisions
coming under this heading recorded a rather better situation.
The extension of National Selective Service ‘‘To effect the orderly and efficient employment
of the men and women of Canada for the varied purposes of war” was announced by the Prime
Minister, Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, in the House of Commons on March 24, 1942. Salient
facts in the mobilization of the country’s human resources include: Man power reserves for war
services and industry will be increased by:
(a) Accelerating the program of curtailing civilian production and the attendant shifting of
labour into some form of war service.
(b) Extending training, re-training and upgrading of working forces.
(c) Re-conditioning the physically unfit.
(d) Bringing women into industry.
By a scheme of training for personnel management, supervisors are to be made available to
war industries. The age limit for compulsory service has been raised from 24 to 30 years for men
unmarried as of July 15, 1940, selection to be by lot over the entire age range. There will be
stabilization of employment in agriculture. There will be prohibition of entry into a schedule of
restricted occupations and industries by physically fit men of military age. It was provided that,
on and after March 23, 1942, no male person shall accept employment and no employers shall
engage any male person in any of these restricted occupations, unless such person presents to the
prospective employer a birth certificate or other incontrovertible evidence that his age is less than
seventeen or more than forty-five years; or a certificate of honourable discharge from the armed
forces; or evidence of rejection on grounds of physical unfitness for active service in the armed
forces during the present year; or a permit from a national selective officer authorizing him to
accept such employment. A schedule of the restricted occupations can be obtained from the
Department of Labour, Ottawa.

TAX EXEMPTION TO NEW MINES
With a view to stimulating exploration and development of mineral resources in Canada,

certain exemptions from income tax have been granted from time to time to new or re-opened mines
coming into production. An amendment to the Income War Tax Act, made in May, 1936,
provided that any metalliferous mine coming into production between May 1, 1936 and January 1,
1940 would be exempt from income tax for its first three fiscal periods following the commence-
ment of production. The Minister of National Revenue, having regard to the production of ore in
reasonable commercial quantities, determines which mines, whether new or old, qualify for this
exemption, and a certificate is issued accordingly. In the 1939 session of Parliament an amend-
ment to the Income Tax Act extended for a further three years the qualifying period for the
above three-year exemption from January 1, 1940 to January 1, 1943.
In order to stimulate the production of wartime metals Parliament in the 1942 session
provided a three-year exemption from the excess profits tax for the profits of any company derived
from the operation of any base metal or strategic mineral mine coming into production in the
three years following after January 1, 1943. The Minister of National Revenue was given power
to determine what mine, whether new or old, and what types of minerals would qualify for this
exemption. Section 89 of the Income War Tax Act was not extended and will have application
only to the period now mentioned in the statute.
Provision is made for an exemption from tax in respect of dividends paid to a company
incorporated in Canada by a company which has never paid a tax by reason of the three-year
exemption. It might be explained that under the Income Tax Act a corporation is exempt from
tax on dividends received from another corporation if the paying corporation has already paid
corporation income tax on its earnings. This is to avoid double taxation of corporate earnings.
It is seen, therefore, that but for this provision a receiving corporation would automatically lose
the exemption (which it would otherwise enjoy) through the fact that the paying corporation
had received the three-year exemption accorded to new mines and thus the purpose of the Govern-
ment in allowing the three-year exemption would be defeated.
General regulations covering depletion allowance to precious metal mines are unchanged
from the previous year and remain on the basis of 333 per cent for mining companies, with the
allowance in the case of dividends received by shareholders standing at 20 per cent.
A copy of Bill 104—The Excess Profits Tax Act, 1940—is contained in the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics Gold Mining Report for 1939. Bill 78, an Act to amend Bill 104 referred to above,
was passed by the House of Commons on May 26, 1941, and is reprinted in the 1940 report.
A copy of Bill 122, the 1942 amendment to the Act, is contained in the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics Gold Mining Report for 1941.
As a companion measure to the above-mentioned exemption from excess profits tax, an
amendment was made to the Income War Tax Act, designed to encourage prospecting for stra-
tegic minerals. It provided that persons contributing in 1942 to prospecting syndicates, associa-
tions or mining partnerships registered or otherwise recognized under the laws of any of the
provinces, will be allowed a deduction from their income tax otherwise payable, equal to forty
per cent of such contributions, provided that the tax credit will apply only in respect of contri-
butions up to $500 in the case of any one syndicate, association or mining partnership, and only
in respect of total contributions not exceeding $5,000 in the case of any one taxpayer. Mining
corporations and exploration companies will also be allowed a deduction from tax equal to forty
per cent of amounts up to $5,000 actually expended in sending out their own prospectors.
WARTIME MINE SHOP ASSOCIATION
Prepared by: Oliver Hall,

President, Ontario Mining Association,
Edited by: C. B. Stenning,
Department of Munitions and Supply.
Representatives of the mining industry were called to Ottawa in May, 1941 and told of the
need for war equipment and urgently asked to start making war equipment in their shops. The
industry agreed and the work was organized by the seven mining associations in the various
provinces and by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
In the early stages there were naturally many difficulties. The mines were exceedingly busy
turning out essential metals and the men at the mines had been heavily drawn on by the active
forces. The shops at the mines were repair shops and in distant areas far from manufacturing
centres. There has always, however, been a determination at the mines to place all war needs
first and the men in the shops at the mines, to a man, have pushed the war work in the shops.
It is now on a very satisfactory basis.
The censor requests that direct references and specific mention of places and work be avoided
and the most interesting data on this work cannot be given.
At one of the large mining centres in the west large marine engines were delivered at a rate
that could not be exceeded in the largest shops of the central cities. At a second exceedingly busy
metallurgical plant units of an important gun contract are going out. Large orders for engines
and pumps for the merchant ships are underway in the gold centres. ‘The important areas in
the east are all busy.
Some of the contracts run to the end of the war, others are for specific quantities of engines or
pumps with assurance that there will be repeat orders. All told, orders are well above two
million dollars. The work is underway. The mining industry. will do its utmost.

(c) The Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry; (d) Miscellaneous Data on Monetary Gold.
and World Gold Production, Prices, Exchange, ete.

industries—(a) the recovery of gold from the gravels and sands of stream channels or beaches
or what is defined as “The Alluvial Gold Mining Industry’’; (b) the recovery of lode gold, which
copper, and for this reason the review of Canada’s ‘‘Copper-Gold-Silver Mining Industry” is.
included here to complete a more comprehensive survey of the Canadian Gold Mining Industry..
Canadian gold output, from all primary sources, totalled 5,345,179 fine ounces valued at
$205,789,392 in 1941. This was the greatest output of the metal ever recorded in the history of
Canadian gold production and represented an increase of 34,034 fine ounces at $1,310,309 overthe
previous high record of 5,311,145 fine ounces valued at $204,479,083 in 1940. Increases in
production over 1940 were attained only in Quebec, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Terri-
tories; however, these were sufficiently great to more than compensate the decline recorded in the
other gold producing areas of the Dominion. Of the total output in 1941, the mines of Ontario
contributed 3,194,308 fine ounces or 59-8 per cent; Quebec, 1,089,339 fine ounces or 20-6 per cent,
and British Columbia, 608,203 fine ounces or 11-4 per cent. Production in the Northwest
Territories totalling 74,417 fine ounces represents a 34-9 per cent increase over 1940 and reflects
the recent mining development of the Yellowknife deposits; this area is Canada’s newest and
farthest north producing lode gold camp.
Exploration and development work conducted on several non-producing properties located

in various parts of the pre-cambrian shield yielded encouraging results, but restrictions on certain
materials and equipment considered necessary in a direct and total war effort retarded or pre-
vented any extensive expansion in the industry. Labour troubles in the Kirkland Lake camp,
Ontario, also resulted in a curtailment in output by some of the more important producers.
Production according to type of deposit or nature of recovery included 82-66 per cent from
crude gold bullion brs produced at “gold mines”; 10-28 per cent from blister or anode copper;
4-68 per cent from copper-nickel matte, ores, slags, etc. exported; 1-99 per cent from alluvial
deposits, and 0-39 per cent from base bullion made chiefly from silver-lead ores.
Reliable data relating to world gold production since the commencement of the war in 1939
have been increasingly difficult to obtain. From statistics made available, it is estimated that
Canada, as a world gold producer, ranked probably second in the quantity of the precious metal
produced. The Union of South Africa ranked a definite first, while production of the United
States, including the output in the Philippine Islands, was estimated at approximately 5,980,746
fine ounces. Final figures of production in the Philippines will be difficult to obtain owing to the
invasion of the Islands by Japan. Accurate data pertaining to gold production in Russia are
unobtainable, but a conjectural total output of 4,000,000 fine ounces was reported for this country
in 1940.

GOLD EXPORTS
(Order in Council P.C. 9131—November 26, 1941)
Wuereas by Order in Council, P.C. 1150, dated May 17, 1932, regulations respecting the
export of gold, whether in the form of coin or bullion, from the Dominion of Canada, were made
under the authority of The Gold Export Act;
AnD WHEREAS the said regulations were by Order in Council, P.C. 7246, dated December 11,
1940, continued in force until December 31, 1941;
AnD WHEREAS in the opinion of the Minister of Finance it is expedient that the said regu-
lations be continued in force beyond December 31, 1941;
Now, THEREFORE, His Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation
of the Minister of Finance and under the provisions of the said ‘“The Gold Export Act,” is pleased
to order that the provisions of the said Regulations be and they are hereby continued in force
and effect until December 31, 1942, unless sooner rescinded by Order in Council.
Nore:—Order in Council P.C. 1150, reads, in part, as follows—‘‘The export of gold, whether
in the form of coin or bullion (including ore, etc.) from the Dominion of Canada, is hereby pro-
hibited, except in such cases as may be deemed advisable by the Minister of Finance, and under
license to be issued by him...... a
GOLD IN CANADIAN EXPORT TRADE _
Exports of gold in Canadian trade statistics were distinguished in previous reports as between
monetary and non-monetary. Monetary gold exports were described as those which entailed a
reduction in the Dominion’s monetary gold stocks. All other gold exported (classed as non-
monetary) were shown as merchandise, and included with the total merchandise exports.
The fact that gold is a money metal gives it peculiar attributes which distinguish it from
other commodities in trade. In particular, the movement of gold in international trade is
determined almost exclusively by monetary factors. The amount of exports may. fluctuate
widely from month to month owing to other than ordinary trade or commercial considerations.
In addition, gold is generally acceptable. It does not have to surmount tariff barriers and is
normally assured a market at a relatively fixed price. For these reasons provision was made in
previous trade reports for a supplementary table showing exports from Canada excluding all gold.
It is further to be noted gold does not move in international trade in any direct or normal
relation to sales and purchases. It may be bought or sold abroad without moving in or out
across the frontier, the sales or purchases in such cases being recognized by simply setting aside or
“earmarking” the gold in the vaults of the central bank. Trade statistics deal only with physical
movements, sales or purchases of gold which do not involve an actual movement being more
properly regarded as an “invisible item” and taken care of in the “International Balance of Pay-
ments” statements. Changes in the Bank of Canada’s stock of gold under earmark do not enter,
therefore, into the trade statistics.
The publication of statistics showing the gross imports and exports of gold has been temp-
orarily suspended as from September,1939. Statistics for periods prior to this time have been
under earmark, are published as a supplement to the trade figures, and are given in the following
table.

There were issued to the Bank of Canada 12,720 trade bars containing 5,077,230.825 ounces
fine gold, which had been refined and cast in the Mint Refinery from the rough gold deposits
received from the various sources mentioned.
In 1941, and for many years past, the greater part of the Canadian production of alluvial gold
came from the Yukon Territory and British Columbia; relatively small quantities are also obtained
in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec.
deposits in 1941. Of this production, 65 ounces came from Saskatchewan, 220 ounces from
Alberta, 43,775 ounces from British Columbia, 88,488 ounces from Yukon and 54 ounces from
Northwest Territories. In addition to crude gold recovered, there were 60 ounces of platinum
obtained in 1941 from alluvial deposits in British Columbia.
Quebec.—During the year under review, the Appalachian Mining Syndicate operated in
June and completed 163 feet of trenching between Lat. 8 and 7, Range 7, southwest Stratford
township, Wolfe County. In Compton County, Wm. A. Davis recovered approximately four
ounces of crude placer gold from workings on Lat. 11, Range 5, Westbury township, and on Big
Hollow Brook in the same township, test drilling was conducted during May and June by R. E.
Frasier. No other official reports of placer mining in 1941 were received from Quebec operators.
Ontario.—Some development of placer claims in the Capreol district has been recorded
during past years but no work of this nature was reported in 1941.
Saskatchewan and Alberta.—Placer gold has been mined along the North Saskatchewan
chewan, from about 1860. Most activity has, however, been confined to the Alberta region,
particularly in the vicinity of Edmonton.
The returns of gold from the river for a period of thirty-two years, from 1887 to 1918, are
by means of mercury.
The gold is irregularly distributed in the gravels of the river and under bench gravels and is
recovered when conditions are convenient to work such bars which move from point to point
according to the vagaries of the stream. No individual reports are received from prospectors.
and production as credited to placer mining is obtained from Government mint statements which
show total recoveries of fine gold in 1941 of 57 ounces from Saskatchewan deposits and 215 ounces
from Alberta.
Northwest Territories.—No production of placer gold in the Territories was reported

direct by miners in 1941; however, Liard-Nahanni Gold Placers Ltd. carried on prospecting in
the Flat River area from June to December 26. Relatively small quantities of gold received at
the Vancouver Assay Office from the Northwest Territories represent metal obtained from alluvial
deposits; particulars relating to these recoveries, totalling 39 fine ounces in 1941, are not available.

Recoveries in 1941 were made chiefly frofm deposits located in the Atlin, Quesnel, Cariboo
and Omineca districts; production was also reported from the New W estminster, Cassiar, Green-

Revelstoke districts.
98 operators who reported 393 employees and the distribution of $625,173 in salaries and
wages.
Consumption of fuel and process supplied amounted to $101,411. The value of crude gold
production was $1,352,648 compared with $1,191,543 in 1940. The quantity of sands and gravels,
including overburden, moved during the year under review was estimated at 4,587,103
cubic
yards; equipment employed in mining operations included hydraulic jets (monitors-gian
ts),
gasoline shovels, drag lines, steam shovels, tractors and dredges. Material worked included
bench gravels, river gravels, pre-glacial deposits and tailings. Work was conducted both
on the
surface and underground.
Bulletin No. 15, “Hydraulic Mining Methods’’—issued by the British Columbia Depart-
ment of Mines, states: ‘When placer gold was first discovered in British Columbia much
of the
gravel was mined by methods other than hydraulicking. Subsequently, however, with the
working out of rich shallow gravel, extensive yardages of lower grade gravels were left
which,
under favourable conditions, were mined by hydraulicking. This type of mining produces the
largest proportion of placer gold at present. ....All the rich ground that is known has been, or is
being worked. In the past, failure to sample and properly estimate the available yardage of
placer deposits has resulted in a tremendous waste of money and effort. ....A placer
deposit
