1 Canadian Wollastonite (St Lawrence Wollastonite deposit) Pictures Left: The Inukshuk that stands at the entrance to Canadian Wollastonite. Below: 2015 car convoy - going towards Canadian Wollastonite - stopping at the entrance, & stopping when we left. Pictures from August 2015 field trip - NPGS, KRFC (Kawartha), & Kingston club participants - by P Anderson, M Legemaate, John Giziewicz, A Pollock, P & M Musiol. Page 1 of 11
2 Left: Bob Vasily, the CEO & President of Canadian Wollastonite, gave us a talk on wollastonite, how it s used in industry, and about the quarry. He also flew his drone for us - it s used to locate wollastonite on the property. The hills behind us??? Crushed up wollastonite for experimental white grub control - but the local wolves like it as well! Their footprints were all over the hills. Below: Some of the on-site equipment - standing idle - no working in the quarry that day! Just us, the rockhounders. Page 2 of 11

5 Frontenac Lead Mine / Draper Lake Road and/or McFadden Road Lead Mines Pictures Graham Wilson, 13 June 2005, updated April 2014 Zinc-lead vein from the Grenville Province of southeast Ontario, Canada. "Rock of the Month # 48, posted June 2005" --- Sample GCW A striking banded calcite vein displays mm-thick bands of a) continuous rich brown sphalerite, b) isolated galena grains, and c) isolated, coarser grains of galena + sphalerite. Overall, the galena probably represents a higher lead content in the bulk ore than zinc, which is present in the sphalerite. The sample of vein material, originally brick-sized, has been broken and sawn: note the weathered surface (upper left), freshlybroken face (lower left) and the slowly-sawn but unpolished flat interior (upper right). This is a zinc-lead vein, largely composed of coarsely crystalline, snowy-white calcite, with distinctive bands enriched in the common base-metal sulphides galena (PbS) and sphalerite (ZnS). The textures of the vein display some interesting features, including: 1) the host carbonate is generally much coarser than the sulphides; 2) some of the sphalerite forms continuous bands, suggesting plating of sulphide onto the veinlet walls; 3) the banding can be very fine (circa 1 mm) and evenly-spaced, which has implications for the conditions of deposition of the sulphides; and 4) some galena grains and bands display white to pale pinkish deposits, ascribed to subsequent partial alteration of the lead sulphide. As might be expected, the specimen is not appreciably magnetic, but reacts vigorously with dilute hydrochloric acid. The piece is a rather spectacular example of a banded calcite-galena-sphalerite vein from the old Frontenac lead mine, in central Loughborough township, Frontenac county, Ontario. The mine (also Page 5 of 11
6 known as the Forbes Galena Mine or Draper Lake Frontenac Lead-Zinc Mines Ltd) lies west and northwest of the village of Perth Road, between Kingston and Sharbot Lake. The Proterozoic Grenville shield in southeast Ontario and southwest Quebec is home to many hundreds of old abandoned mines, many so small and overgrown as to be hard to locate. This particular mine was the first producing lead mine in Ontario (Udd, 1999). It saw intermittent exploration and production from 1866 to 1958, and three shafts plus a number of pits and trenches were sunk on two calcite-rich vein systems (Malczak et al., 1985). Production occurred in the periods and The commodities from this style of carbonate-hosted vein system include lead and zinc with values of other metals such as silver, and also barite (Uglow, 1916; Thomson et al., 1957). In addition to calcite and the two principal ore minerals, other reported minerals include pyrite, chalcopyrite, barite, cerussite and celestite (Sabina, 1983). Older work compiled by Malczak et al. lists the ore minerals, in descending order of abundance, as galena, sphalerite, then pyrite, graphite and marcasite. Similar calcite occurs in other veins in southeast Ontario and upstate New York, notably at the Rossie lead mine in St. Lawrence County (Robinson et al., 2001). The north vein, accessed by shafts 2 and 3, was 1-44 feet ( m) wide, averaging 10 feet (3.05 m). The host rock is Grenville marble, with gneisses to the southeast, and minor granite, with some unconformable cap rock of Cambrian sandstone. Both the samples shown here correspond to descriptions of the north vein (ibid., p.88). This vein strikes N70 W and dips 80 N. Most sulphides were apparently found toward the footwall side of the vein. Open spaces might contain celestite and marcasite. The south vein, accessed by the No.1 shaft, which was 313 feet (95 m) deep, was 1 to 22' ( m) wide.

7 A sample collected from the Frontenac lead mine in 1962 shows similar ore textures, with spectacular banding in the vein, rich in brown sphalerite and dark grey galena. Photo courtesy of geologist Paul Golightly. A sample of white calcite from Frontenac contained less than 0.5% measured impurities, in order Mn > Fe > Mg > Sr, while C and O isotope ratios were similar to other Rossie-type vein calcites (Robinson et al., 2001). Although the source of lead, at least, is probably the Grenville basement rocks, these veins are quite possibly much younger, of Mesozoic age, similar to small ultramafic dykes in southern Ontario (e.g., the kimberlitic dykes of Picton and Varty Lake), perhaps linked to an incipient stage of rifting of the North Atlantic ocean.

8 Cambrian-Ordovician Potsdam Sandstone Pictures Field Lansdowne Quarry site includes: Potsdam Sandstone Fossil ripple marks & trackways Pre-Cambrian unconformity - consisting of marble (chunky) & graphite (slivers) Collecting - nice large quarry - loads of strata & loads of colour Page 8 of 11
9 Strata was easy to see - essentially started with deep wine-red Rideau Grit then changed to reds, rusts, & purples then changed to yellows with some oranges & (I thought surprisingly) greens, and then back to yellows & reds. There seemed also to be a lower layer that was grey (pyrite, apparently) and, perhaps, some blue-ish colouration. The unconformity and the marble with little graphite slivers. (You can also see loads & loads of sand - pulverized sandstone - go figure!!) Page 9 of 11
