"Hemlo gold" televised The largest gold find in North America was discovered, not in the California, the Klondike or the Caribou gold rushes of the last cen- tury, but one and a half years ago in Ontario. Because of it, Canada is now without question, the number three gold producer in the world, behind South Africa and the U.S.S.R. Hemlo Gold is the story of that discovery and the people who made it. This story will be portrayed on CBC television on March 4th from 10-11 p.m. For more than 100 years, prospectors wan- dered over this small area near the town of Hemlo, north of Lake Superior. Believing the area to be rich in gold deposits, many people for years had staked claims and drilled with- out success. It wasn't until the late 1970's that four determined people went against awesome odds to find that gold. 7 e®8.

Don McKinnon and John Larche are the prospectors, who, con- vinced they were on 'to something big, staked much of the area. With the theories of geolo- gist David Bell to back them up, they went after financing to drill. Turn- ed down by mining com- panies of Toronto, they headed for Vancouver, and Murray Pezim. The 'Pez' is a colourful, aggressive, outspoken, poor-boy-who-made-it- rich stock promoter. A man who had made and lost fortunes gambling on the stock market, The '*Pez" was prepared to 'go for my whole bank roll' to find gold. 'Even though less than one ina thousand prospects ever makes it into production - the gamble was made and won. The story of Hemlo Gold doesn't end there. It's only the beginning. How much more gold will be found and what it will mean to industry in Canada - that's the next chapter. Hemlo Gold is pro- duced by Doug Lower, award-winning producer of "The Merchants of Grain and Trains." Look for this special feature on the Hemlo develop- ment. Remember March 4th - CBC Television - 10:00 p.m. Prospecting fever has swept Ontario Prospecting fever is sweeping Ontario. Last year, Ontario had its biggest staking rush ever - with about 70,000 claims staked. That's more than double the 1982 total of 33,000 and 13,000 more than the previous record set dur- ing the big uranium boom of 1955 - almost 30 years ago. Gold is the main rea- son for this surge in exploration. Recent gold discoveries in North- ern Ontario and an ex- pectation of rising gold prices have helped crea- te this modern-day gold rush. "'This record high ac- tivity in mineral explora- tion that took place in Ontario last year, could lead to important new discoveries and greater prosperity for Ontario in the years to come," stated Alan Pope, Min- ister of Natural Resour- ces. The largest number of claims staked in 1983 which were almost 16,000 were up 54 per cent from 1982 and were all in the ThunderBay area. The Sault Ste. Marie area was a close second with close to 15,000 claims staked - up almost 50 per cent from the year before. However, the greatest jump in claim staking activity was in the Kenora area, with 11,000 claims staked in 1983 600 per cent higher than the 1982 total of 1,600. A similar surge in activity occur- red around Sioux Look- out with 4,000 claims - up 422 per cent over the 1982 total of 850. Gold can be found in both these areas, but the quantity is uncertain. 'This current increase in claim staking activity actually began in 1980 when the price of gold reached record highs. In 1980 alone, the number of claims staked doubled to 33,000. The work required to maintain the claims staked in recent years led to another record in 1983 - 2.4 million days of assessment work. That's 42 per cent higher than the 1982 figure. The in- crease in assessment work is largely due to work on claims staked in recent years near Hemlo in north central Ontario and Cameron Lake and Sturgeon Lake, both. in northwestern Ontario. The value and volume of mineral production were also up significantly in 1983 with the total value of all minerals produced in 1983 in Ontario being $3.5 billion - up 14 per cent over 1982. Gold represented about 10 per cent of this total. Ontario current- ly produces about 20 tonnes of gold annually. "The gold production expected from the new Hemlo mines alone should double this total by the late 1980's,"' said Alan Pope.
