New Record in Value of Mineral Output While the number of ounces of gold recovered in Ontario may have deâ€" clined, the quantity of ore treated has increased, moving up from 4,150,777 tons during the first threeâ€"quarters of 1933 to 4,699,470 tons in 1934. At Porcupine the average value per ton of ore treated at the standard price of gold, $20.67 per ounce, was $5.32. At Kirkland Lake it was $10.53 per ton and in Northwestern. Ontario $2.75 per ton. During the period seven mines reâ€" ported production from Porcupine, 11 in Kirkland Lake and 12 in Northwestâ€" ern Ontario. ern milling methods â€" and improved transportation facilities have created considerable change in the outlook of the gold mining industry in this area. According to Toronto newspapers, Hon. Paul Leduc, Minister of Mines in the Hepburn Government, has anâ€" nounced new high records in the value of Ontario‘s mineral production for the past nine months. Other leading metals also showed inâ€" creased value. There was a $1,500,000 increase in the value of platinum ; nearâ€" ly $5,000,000 increase in nickel, $700,000 in silver, $1,500,000 in platinum metals and nearly $3,000,000 in copper. Great Change Created Although the output from the latter section was small and mainity produced by one mine, the Howey, the report deâ€" clared the increased price of gold, modâ€" The performance was regarded as inâ€" dicating the increased milling facilities and also the ability of the mines to treat much lower grade ore, thereby increasing the life of the mines and the communities now dependent on this industry.
