E 12 _THEOSHAWA TIMES, Wednendoy, September 11,1963 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT 'Survey In N.B. 'Uses Chemistry yy CAL HOLLOWAY : BATHURST N.B. (CP) -- A geological survey now past the alf-way mark in northeastern ew Bruns wick substitutes hemistry for 'the methods used y the old-time prospector who tambled over the area more than a century ago. ) The Geological Survey of Can- @da began geochemical pros- pecting in the Bathurst - New- Castle-area five years ago. Re- sults so far indicate that it could tventually become one of Can- ada's major mining districts. An eight-man survey party, headed by Dr. R. W. Boyle of Ottawa; chief of the Geological Survey's geochemical section, has spent 20 summer months in the 2,000-square-mile area. . Their work involves detailed Analysis of known mineral de- posits. The information is com- iled by the federal mines and hnical surveys department. Detailed on maps, it will be Bvailable to prospectors and _ and exploration compan- es. ANALYSE ORES . Detailed geochemistry is be- 'ing done on some of the de- posits, This entails the chemical analysis of the ores, associated focks, soils and water. The ob- Jective is to find out how and why ore deposits were formed and where they are most likely to be found Information gained from the New Brunswick survey could help geologists find undis- covered base metal deposits in other areas A mobile chemistry labora- tory facilitates rapid interpreta- tion of samples in the field. The tests would otherwise have to 'be done at Ottawa. Through these tests an attempt is made to find out the abundance of elements--metals -- in alter ent earth materials. There are 14 massive oxtphtie| deposits in the Bathurst-New- castle area. The survey is work- ing on six, which include three types of lead and zinc deposits. Total deposits in the area are estimated at 150,000,000 tons, containjng 5.6 per cent zinc, 2.3 per cent lead, .5 per cent copper and 1.9 ounces of silver to the ton. Geologists say this is enough for 100 years of mining. OTHER MINERALS LIKELY J. L. Davies, a graduate of Carleton University at Ottawa, has been in charge of the sum- mer field project since it be- gan. He says there are possibil- ities of other types of mineral deposits in the surrounding area, but not enough work has been done to say for sure. Mr, Davies says most of the deposits already discovered .in the Bathurst - Newcastle area could have been found by geo- chemical prospecting, ~ To study rocks, soils and wa- ters, the geochemist first deter- mines the normal amount of metal in the area and then at- tempts to outline areas where the content is highest, Soil over one large deposit, for example, was tested and found to contain about two per cent copper. This is highly ab- normal, Water in the area con- tained large quantities of metal. This condition was caused by ore beneath the surface. Water and steam sediments are analyzed for traces of met- als released during the oxida- tion of ore deposits.
