Total Gaseous Mercury (TGM)

At all locations the TGM measurements were made using automatic Tekran ® 2537 mercury vapour analyzers (described in detail in Poissant, 1997). The air is typically sampled at flow rates between 1.0 and 1.5 L/min (depending on location) and is passed through a Teflon filter (47 mm diameter; 0.45 µm) at the sample line inlet to remove particulate matter. Inside the analyzer, the mercury in the sample air is pre-concentrated before analysis by amalgamation on gold cartridges (5-30 minute concentration time). Mercury is removed from the gold cartridges by thermal desorption and is detected using Cold Vapour Atomic Fluorescence Spectrophotometry (CVAFS). The analyzer has two gold cartridges which allow alternating accumulation and desorption to occur simultaneously resulting in the continuous measurement of mercury in the air stream at 5-30 minute intervals. The instruments are calibrated daily using an internal mercury source and verified during routine site audits by manual injections of mercury from an external source. The data are quality controlled using the Environment Canada RDMQ (Research Data Management and Quality Control) system.

Major Ions

Major ions data consist of the following key ions in precipitation: Cl-, NO3-, SO4=, NH4+, Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++. The data sets typically also include the pH and depth of the precipitation sample. These data are collected by several provincial, national and bi-national networks. The wet-only precipitation collector samples precipitation only when it rains or snows. A snow gauge and/or a rain gauge measure the amount of precipitation that has fallen during the measurement period. Measurement periods may be 24 hours or weekly cycles depending on the operating procedures of each network. The amount of wet deposition of a pollutant is calculated by multiplying the measured amount of precipitation by the concentration of the pollutant in the precipitation.

Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations compliance data

The Metal Mining Effluent Regulations came into force in 2002 pursuant to the Fisheries Act to regulate the deposit of mine effluent and mine waste into waters frequented by fish. The Metal Mining Effluent Regulations were amended in 2018, and are now known as the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations.


The Regulations help protect Canada’s lakes and rivers by setting strict limits on the quality of effluent that can be discharged by metal and diamond mines. The Regulations authorize the deposit of effluent into water frequented by fish and places referred to in subsection 36(3) of the Fisheries Act. Effluent must meet concentration-based limits for arsenic, copper, cyanide, lead, nickel, zinc, suspended solids, radium 226 and un-ionized ammonia. Effluent must also have a pH that is between a minimum and maximum level, and must not be acutely lethal. The Regulations require effluent testing and reporting, as well as Environmental Effects Monitoring studies. 


The Regulations also include an authorization for the use of water frequented by fish for mine waste disposal. Authorization requires an amendment to Schedule 2 of the Regulations. Owners or operators of mines can request an amendment to Schedule 2 of the Regulations, which would designate a water frequented by fish as a tailings impoundment area.


The files listed in the ECCC Data Mart below contain the summary of the performance of Canadian metal and diamond mines in electronic format. The dataset in these files are extracted from the annual reports entitled "Status Report on the Performance of Metal Mines Subject to the Metal Mining Effluent Regulations" and "Status Report on the Performance of Mines Subject to the Metal and Diamond Mining Effluent Regulations". 


The files in KML format are map layers for use in Google Earth™ and other “virtual globe” softwares. They show the reported location of the final effluent discharge points associated with each mining facility subject to the Regulations. When selected, each final discharge point generates a summary table of its effluent data and compliance performance. The CSV files present this same information for each final discharge point in a tabular format that can be easily used for data mining and analysis.

Model ages and applied whole rock geochemistry of silver-lead-zinc veins, Keno Hill-Galena Hill mining camp, Yukon Territory

A detailed methodology has been devised and tested for establishing metal zoning patterns in and about oreshoots within the plane of Ag-Pb-Zn veins of the Keno Hill - Galena Hill mining camp, Yukon, using whole rock vein geochemistry of run-of-mine samples. These ideal metal distribution patterns are easily interpretable in more classical zoning terms as mineral distribution patterns. To establish a zoning model samples that span a wide range of grades are rearranged in order of decreasing silver contents. The resulting "rearranged" profiles for other elements are then evaluated relative to silver. Computer-based curve fitting methods are useful means of generalizing these "rearranged" metal profiles. The foregoing procedure has been used to develop a general model for the Keno Hill - Galena Hill camp based on analytical results from 3 main deposits (Keno, Husky, No Cash) including 6 veins. Essential character of the model is embodied in analyses of Ag, Pb, Zn, and Ca and the Zn/Ag ratio. Additional but in cases ambiguous detail is added to the model by Hg, and Co and/or Ni analyses. These elements allow vein mineralogy to be monitored in a quantitative manner and provide a practical zoning model that can be used as an exploration, tool in evaluating underground workings for proximity to oreshoots in the more than 60 deposits known in the camp. A companion study involving whole rock K-Ar age determinations of small stockwork zones adjacent to Ag-Pb-Zn veins indicated an age of mineralization of about 87±2 Ma. for the Ag-Pb-Zn veins.

Genesis of the Blende Carbonate hosted ZN-Pb-Ag deposit, north central Yukon Territory: Geologic, fluid inclusion and isotopic constraints

The Blende zinc-lead-silver deposit, 60 km northeast of Keno City, Yukon Territory, is spatially associated with a mid-Proterozoic fault zone that crosscuts stromatolitic dolostones of the Middle Proterozoic, upper Gillespie Lake Group. It is the largest known strata-bound, carbonate-hosted, zinc-lead deposit in the Yukon Territory. Mineralization, largely epigenetic, consists of sphalerite and galena, with lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite, and trace friebergite in quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets. Veining is zoned from copper- and silver-rich mineralization at the base of the deposit, through lead- and zinc-rich, to zinc-dominated at the top. Detailed cross-section mapping indicates that controls on the deposit are both stratigraphic and structural. Many of the stromatolite beds are mineralized and are especially rich in lead and zinc close to normal faults. Fluid inclusion studies indicate that mineralizing fluids were about 285 degrees C during main-stage mineralization. Sulfur isotope analyses of unmineralized whole-rock samples cluster tightly around an average delta 34 S value of 23.6 + or - 0.4 per mil. The source of sulfur is apparently seawater sulfate, probably from minor anhydrite in the host dolostone. Sulfide sulfur isotope ratios define three populations. Local blebs of pyrite associated with stromatolites have markedly negative ratios (- 15.1%) that are probably bacteriogenic in origin. Vein sulfides in tight dololutites have ratios between 19.0 and 26.3 per mil, with an average delta 34 S value of 23.2 PM 0.9 per mil. This is virtually identical to the whole-rock sulfur isotope ratio. Veins that crosscut stromatolitic beds have sulfur isotope ratios between 18.3 and 7.4 per mil with a mean of 15.0 + or - 1.2 per mil. Intermediate sulfur isotope ratios apparently reflect a mixed sulfur source of both whole-rock sulfate and biogenic sulfide. Carbon and oxygen isotopes in host rocks and ore-stage dolomite spar are related genetically; both are related to ancient seawater. The calculated isotopes for mineralizing fluids are characteristic of basinal brines...

Upper Proterozoic-Lower Cambrian sedimentary rocks of the Mount Harper Group, Ogilvie Mountains, Yukon

In the Ogilvie Mountains, west-central Yukon, the upper Proterozoic to Lower Cambrian Mount Harper Group (informal name) contains strata equivalent to both basal Windermere Supergroup and Lower Cambrian rocks in other areas of the North American Cordillera. Strata of the Mount Harper group are directly time constrained: the basal Windermere equivalents by a ca. 750 Ma U-Pb age from a volcanic complex which both conformably overlies and intertongues with the sedimentary rocks; the disconformably overlying units by the presence of Lower Cambrian trace fossils. The lower Mount Harper Group (LMHG) unconformably overlies a thick succession of dolostones informally named the Fifteenmile Group. A breccia layer is discontinuously preserved on the unconformity surface. This breccia contains silcretes and calcretes that record several episodes of subaerial exposure. Rare interbedded debris flows suggest that the most recent of these episodes was coincident with initial deposition of the LMHG conglomerates. Silcretes and calcretes in this succession suggest that, at the onset of Windermere deposition in this area, a temperate to equatorial, probably semi-arid to arid climate regime prevailed. Elsewhere, basal breccias in Windermere-equivalent strata generally have been interpreted as fault-related, but some contain features compatible with a karstic origin. A synsedimentary normal fault forms the southern margin of an asymmetric, east-trending half- graben basin which contains the lower Mount Harper Group. Basin fill appears to have been derived exclusively from source areas to the south. Proximal facies consist of fault-talus breccia and up to 1100 m of debris-flow conglomerates that were deposited in coalescing alluvial fans. Intermediate and distal facies include mid-to-lower fan conglomerates and sandstones deposited by sheetfloods, distal debris flows and braided channel streamflows. A basin-fill coarsening-upward megasequence in the eastern part of thc study area records a change from lacustrine redbeds to lower alluvial fan sandstones and conglomerates. The LMHG half-graben basin was formed, and sedimentation was controlled, by normal faulting along the southern margin. Synsedimentary faulting and minor back-stepping of the fault controlled development of the internal sequences. Volcanism conformably postdates this sedimentation, but northerly derived coarse clastic rocks of the upper Mount Harper group (UMHG) .

Digital Soil Mapping

## Purpose The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) is responsible for Ontario’s provincial soil maps and maintains and update them as necessary. Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) is a modern methodology using spatially explicit soils and environmental data to predict soil variation throughout a landscape at a high, consistent resolution. Digital soil maps are being rolled out throughout Ontario’s agricultural land base to update provincial soil maps. ## Reach Provincial soil maps are used in many decision-making processes including: * land use planning * land evaluation * farming practices * best management practices * ecological monitoring * land resource mapping Potential users of this data include: * farmers * certified crop advisors * conservation authorities * academic researchers * land use planners ## Potential impacts Digital soil maps provide more accurate and precise soils data and enables improved management of soil resources across multiple stakeholders. This allows for better decision making to maximize land use efficiency, improve economic efficiency of soil resources and promote soil health and soil conservation. ## Technical description Digital soil mapping combines geo-referenced soil observations with geo-referenced environmental layers to mathematically model soil variation as a function of environment variation. These models are based on well established, but often complex relationships, between soil properties and topography, biology, geology and hydrology.
