The Terrace Bay Arena will be closed until approximately December - 12th, due to a breakdown in the refrigeration equipment. On Wednesday, November 23, at approximately 11:45 p.m., a part in #2 compressor malfunctioned, causing extensive damage to the interior of the compressor. This compressor was totally overhauled approximately one month ago by a service company, therefore warranty exists to cover a portion of the cost for repairs. The Terrace Bay Recreation Committee apologizes to all concerned for the inconvenience caused due to this shutdown. You will be notified through this paper and over the radio when the arena reopens. There have been numerous inquiries on why we retained the curling surface instead of the arena. The decision to retain the curling surface was based on the following facts. To remove the arena ice and replace it takes approximately one and a half weeks. This can be done in such a short period of time due to the concrete floor and the limited amount of painting that is required. To remove and replace the curling ice it takes approximately one and a half to two months. This is a major task as the curling surface does not have a concrete floor and painting of houses is a very difficult and time consuming project. The other factor we had to consider was the load that would be placed on the remaining equipment. The size and amount of use of "the two-ice surfaces plays a large-part in this. The curling ice surface is smaller and is used fewer hours per week, as compared to the larger arena ice surface and the 75 hours of use per week that it receives. Plans announced for Winston Lake Development Residents along the North Shore have been hearing a lot about Win- ston Lake lately. As most of you are aware, Corporation Falcon- bridge Copper has re- cently announced plans for further development of the Winston Lake zinc deposit which is located just 20 miles north of Schreiber. Mr. B. Simmons of Corporation Falconbrid- ge Copper in Thunder Bay was able to provide the "NEWS"' with some up-to-date informa- tion regarding this an- nouncement. Since discovery of the zone in 1982, consider- able surface drilling has been completed, outlin- 'ing a deposit of modest size with relatively high zinc content. Including 20 per cent dilution, the zone contains 2.95 mil- lion short tons with a grade of 0.94 per cent copper, 17.8 per cent zinc, 0.7 ounces per ton silver and 0.025 ounces per ton gold. These results are suf- - ficiently encouraging to merit further work and a $7.6 ~million expendi- ture has been approved for a programme of un- derground delineation. This programme will in- volve sinking a shaft to a depth of 510. metres, followed by drifting and underground drilling. The objectives of the programme are to con- firm the mineral inven- tory and to better under- stand the shape and nature of the mineraliz- ed zone. The program- me will be conducted by experienced contractors and will require 15 to 18 months to complete. Site preparation will begin as soon as possible and actual shaft sinking should commence in early spring of 1984. The old Zenmac road _ will require upgrading to a higher standard and a power line may be con- structed between High- way 17 and the site. De- pending on results of this delineation pro- gramme and prevailing economic conditions, a production decision will then be considered. If production commences, it is anticipated that the mine could employ be- tween 100 and 200 per- sons and could operate for a period of up to ten years.
