Celebrating Mining WeekThe importance of mining to Canada’s economy

First celebrated in 1996, National Mining Week recognizes the importance of the Canadian Mining industry to the economic development of Canada. It is a chance to celebrate the important role that mining plays in the lives of Canadi-ans. It is hard to imagine a life without minerals and metals — every day, we all use and rely on products made from them.

Mining takes place in almost every province and territory in Canada — creat-ing jobs and business opportunities, and supporting industries and workers from rural, remote and Aboriginal communities to our large urban centres.

British Columbia’s mining and mineral exploration industry has a rich history and a promising future. B.C. has been one of the world’s major mining regions since the mid-1800s and to this day is a key international player. Encompassing the largest part of the Canadian Cordillera, a mountain belt rich in minerals and coal, B.C. produces and exports a significant amount of copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum, coal and industrial minerals every year.

Historically, B.C.’s vast mineral resources have contributed extensively to the province’s growth and development. The Hudson’s Bay Company first started pro-ducing coal on Vancouver Island in the 1840s, and the discovery of gold along the Fraser River in the 1850s sparked a major gold rush, which was ultimately responsible for the settlement of many parts of that region.

As B.C.’s population increased, the provincial infrastructure improved, and min-ers were able to explore more and more of the province’s terrain, leading to many new mineral deposit discoveries. Throughout the century following the Fraser River Gold Rush, most mining activities in British Columbia took place under-ground. But in the early 1960s, the feasibility of open-pit production increased tremendously, and as a result, several huge copper mines opened, including Highland Valley Copper—the largest openpit operation in all of North America.

BC is Canada’s single largest exporter of coal, largest producer of copper and the only producer of molybdenum.

Coal has many important uses worldwide. The most significant uses of coal are in electricity generation, steel production, cement manufacturing and as a liquid fuel. Around 6.6 billion tonnes of hard coal were used worldwide last year and 1 billion tonnes of brown coal.

Currently, the main use of Molybdenum is in the commercial and industrial industries where it plays a large role in manufacturing. Due to its relative strength and heat resistance it is also used used in manufacturing of armour, aircraft parts, industrial motors, filaments, electrical contacts and space exploration.

Presently, copper is used in building construction, power generation and transmission, electronic product manufacturing, and the production of industrial machinery and transportation vehicles. Copper wiring and plumbing are integral to the appliances, heating and cooling systems, and telecommunications links used every day in homes and businesses. Copper is an essential component in the motors, wiring, radiators, connectors, brakes, and bearings used in cars and trucks. The average car contains 1.5 kilometers (0.9 mile) of copper wire.

Early coal mining history in BC started on Vancouver Island around 1849 with small amounts being mined by the Hudson’s Bay Company. It wasn’t until 1874 that production began to ramp up with 81,000 tons being

produced that year. Production continued to increase yearly until 1891 when this number reached over a million tons. Over half of the 1891 production was shipped to California, a state that used almost two million tons of coal that year. Mines in the Comox and Nanaimo Basins continued to expand to meet these huge produc-tion demands and with this aggressive expansion and production pressure came significant increases in loss of human life. There were dozens of ways that an early coal miner could lose his life underground back then but some of the more disastrous events that occurred periodically led to tragedies on a scale that left whole com-munities numb with grief. The first significant loss in BC’ s history came on April 17, 1879 in the Wellington Colliery in Nanaimo where an

February 22, 1884 another explosion occurred at Wellington in Number 3 shaft taking 23 men with it.

oxygen. It was only three short years later that No.1 Esplanade mine in Nanaimo was to expe-rience BC’ s worst mining disaster and Canada’s second worst overall. Shortly after 6pm May 3, 1887 smoke and timbers burst from both the hoisting and ventilation shafts from explosions so deep in the mine that they were barely percep-tible on the surface. The long blast of the mine whistle announced the bad news and when all was said and done 147 of the 154 men on shift were lost, mostly to asphyxiation. Some were sealed in side shafts and died waiting for rescue, etching messages in the ground with their shovels as their oxy-gen ran out. Incredibly only one year later Number 5 Pit in Wellington was struck by yet another deadly explosion that took a further 77 lives. That made 247 men lost in three separate explosions in less than four years. One has to wonder how and when offi cials would fi nally step back and consider this horrifi c conse-quence. Yet the inquests and usually laconic descriptions by area inspectors typically read: “With respect to all the accidents, I have not discovered that any blame or negligence could be attached to anyone ... “ The verdict of the inquiries was sadly always the same. British Columbia wasn’t the only province to be stricken in such a way. Nova Scotia has a longer history of such disasters with the fi rst large scale loss coming a year before BC’ s coal history began to develop in a serious way The Drummond Mine in Westville, NS lost 60 men to an explosion in 1873. Ironically, in 1891, the year Vancouver Island exceeded the million ton production number, Nova Scotia was witness to Canada’s fourth worst mining disaster, one that took 125 men and boys at the infamous Springhill Mines. The turn of the century did not bring much relief to these periodic heartbreaking disas-ters and in the process the Elk Valley mines made a terrible entrance into this theater. In 1901 there were three separate incidents on

Vancouver Island that took 83 out of the 102 miners lost that year to accidents. The fi rst, on Feb 15th, resulted in the suffocation of 64 men, then on June 30 a pump ~an, and two Chinese tracklayers were lost to a fi re that the

mine fought for two weeks after. Once again on Sept. 30 a fi re broke out on a cur-tain (sacking material called brattice used for redirect-

ing or blocking air fl ow) and raced up a slope overcoming 16 men who could not fi nd their way ahead of the fi re safely. The next year the Elk Valley became an unfortunate part of this early mine disas-ter legacy by recording Canada’s third worst mining disaster. While early records indicated 128 men lost subsequent detailed research has upgraded this number to 130. It was a classic example of the shotgun effect. Gas deep in the mine in Macdonald’s level was ignited which then ignited the heavy suspension of coal dust that ran all throughout the mine. The explo-sion replicated itself through all areas until it burst from the entry to the outside. Again most men were found in pairs in their working places killed silently by afterdamp.

The next year Union Colliery in

Cumberland lost 16 to an explosion, the fi rst disas-

ter of this scale to the mining area around Comox. That same year

here in the Elk Valley, Morrissey No. 1 Mine suffered a nasty gas outburst on Oct.15 that took four men. Morrissey outbursts were a phenomenon that would haunt this mine in its short life and the very next year on Nov. 18 it occurred again this time taking

14 lives. The wife and family of one of those lost, Thomas Jenkins, had only just arrived at Morrissey the day of the disaster. What heartbreak. While the severity of annual losses were reduced by more modern mining practices and safety measures they never the less contin-ued to plague both the Island and interior mines up until the 1930’s. Mines like Reserve Nanaimo, No. 3 Michel, Coal Creek and Comox No. 4&6 mines were dealt fatal hands at the whim of gas, coal dust and even lightening strikes. The last major event was at Blakeburn in the Tulameen District in 1930 in which an explosion took 45 men. The losses of three men or more mercifully died down after the Michel No.1 East Mine bump of 1938 and lasted for almost thirty years. Then came Balmer North in 1967, just when everyone thought the days of major losses in underground mines were a thing of the past.All were reminded then that the deadly recipe of methane and coal dust was ever present and if it was not handled properly it could transform an under-ground mine into a killing fi eld.

BC mining disas-ters of three men or

more were commemorated with a series of pillows at the

Hillcrest Memorial Monument in the year 2000. While space

restricted the acknowledg-ment of all men there is

no doubt that every single miner

lost across

Canada in coal mines is in itself a disaster. The days of major underground mine losses are long gone and today, mercifully, the coal mines of British Columbia boast one of the fi nest safety records of any major industry in Canada.

In 1901 there were three separate incidents on Vancouver Island that took 83 out of the 102 miners lost that year to accidents.

Between wages, direct operating costs and purchases the two companies combined inject roughly 150 million dollars into the local and regional economy. If you consider that in 2014 mining is projected to employ around 16,000 men and women in British Columbia, it is not hard to quickly realize the positive impact this resource based industry throughout the province.

Mining in BC not only has a strong fi nancial impact on our communities but has also stepped up and become the safest heavy industry in the province, having fewer accidents and fatalities than any other industry in the resource based sector. Quinsam Coal and Nyrstar Myra Falls were both recognized in 2012 by the Ministry of Mines for being

the safest large underground mines in the province; as well Myra Falls has been awarded the John T Ryan award in 2012 and 2013 for being the safest mine in BC and the Yukon Territory. Both mine sites have championship mine rescue and fi rst aid units which play a large role in promoting and upholding the safety of not only their fellow co-workers but the safety of all miners in the province through mutual aid.

Mining is not only committed to ensuring the safety of its employees but is also a leader in upholding and raising the bar in protecting the environment. Mining takes environment legislation, regulation, social responsibility and compliance very seriously using continual upgrades and implementation of innovative solutions to safeguard against environmental

2014. Mining week gives both the industry and the public an outlet to share and receive information on the many benefi ts and rewards that are created by having a mine in their community.

Most of the residents in the Campbell River area are aware that there is mining done locally but may not be aware of the benefi cial impact on residents and community. It is said that there are 4 “spin off” jobs created for every one mining job. If we consider that Nyrstar Myra Falls and Quinsam Coal, both located within 90kms of Campbell River, employ approximately 500 people directly that

adversities, dedicating and devoting large amounts of time and money to the full reclamation of mine sites once the mining cycle has reached its full potential.

Together Myra Falls and Quinsam mine over a million tonnes of ore each year. Once processed the final products are transformed into products regularly used in everyday life ranging from metals supplying water to your home to creating the concrete used in construction and many other things that are taken for granted. It is difficult to name all the products that are a direct result of mining but be certain that without the mining industry our lives would be very different.

The mining industry creates a wide assortment of employment opportunities for all levels of education in a variety of fields and expertise.

Industry Best Practices: The Kemess South Mine

Mine ReclamationMining activities cover less than one per cent of B.C. land base. Companies are legally required to reclaim all lands they disturb by mining, or through exploration.

To ensure that reclamation projects respect local and provincial needs, dedicated government staff:

• conduct detailed technical reviews and ensure that reclamation responsibilities are met;

• organize activities and participate in committees supporting technology transfer, reviewing ministry practices and enhancing cooperation among government, industry, First Nations, academia and the public; and

• participate in national and international committees conducting research and technology transfer.

Our business is focused solely on serving surface andunderground mining operations with superior equipment

and direct service that achieves the lowest cost perunit of production over the life cycle.

Our reach is global, with facilities and service centers that span six continents and more than twenty countries. But

our focus remains local. Our people and services are close to the mines to provide better decisions and solutions.

Above ground and below, we strive to create a moreseamless experience that raises the bar for the entire

industry. And it starts with Joy Global.

The Kemess South Mine in north central B.C. is one of the largest-scale reclamation projects now being implemented. The mine is in remote, mountainous terrain. Native plant species are not easily purchased and vegetation growth is limited by a severe climate and minimal soil resources.

Despite these challenges, the site has been extensively replanted with native species. Local communities have become involved with annual native-seed collection campaigns. To date, over

750,000 stems of various native species have been planted, and progressive reclamation has been completed on approximately 250 hectares. The reclamation project has earned several awards, including the 2010 Jake McDonald Annual Reclamation Award and the 2010 Mining and Sustainability Award.- BC’s mineral exploration and Mining Strategy 2012


A Brief History of Mining in Our RegionCatherine GilbertNot too long after gold fever had sent thousands rushing off to the Klondike, the Campbell River region experienced its own mini boom. Stakes were claimed in Shoal Bay, in nearby East Thurlow Island as early as 1884 and by 1897 there was a population of about 1500. Gold was also found on Quadra Island, with the earliest stakes being claimed in 1901, resulting in the development of the Lucky Jim Mine, which was in operation until 1911. Small amounts of gold were also discov-ered in Bedwell Sound on Vancouver Island around the turn of the last century, but were deemed not worth exploiting.

Later in the 1930s, gold was mined in Zeballos and operations continued up to the commencement of World War II. With miners leaving to fight in the war, the mines closed in 1942. But gold wasn’t the only mineral of value to be found in the region. Rich veins of zinc, copper, lead and silver ores, and coal were discovered in several locations; and iron ore, which was mined by Orecan Mines near Kelsey Bay and resulted in the Argonaut Mine at Upper Quinsam Lake.Today, coal is mined at Quinsam Lake by Quinsam Coal where development of coal mining had started in 1978 and expanded in the 1980s. Claims had been staked in Strathcona Provincial Park beginning in 1918, but it wasn’t until 1961 that Western Mines started a large mining develop-ment at the south end of Buttle Lake, working the zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver deposits found there. This initiated the building of a road to transport goods and workers to and from the mine. It was completed by 1968, and links with the Gold River Highway. Today, the mine has about 300 employees and is operated by Nyrstar.
