ABSTRACT
This report documents the results of a two year study of the
pegmatites of the Bancroft Area. The primary purpose of
this study was to examine some of the larger known granitic
pegmatite occurrences and attempt to classify them
geochemically into distinct pegmatite fields. A secondary
objective was to possibly identify several pegmatites close
to each other that could potentially provide small, economic
production of several co-products of high unit value (eg.
high purity quartz, REE, U, Th or rare metals (i.e. Nb, Ta,
Cs, Be, etc.).
The geochemistry of potassium feldspar within
individual pegmatites and among adjacent pegmatite
intrusions is extremely variable and suggests that the
pegmatites can not be classified into distinct geochemical
groups. All the pegmatites generally fall into the Mica-
Ceramic Type pegmatites of Gordiyenko (1971, 1976);
consequently, the rare-metal-bearing potential of the
pegmatites is remote.
Renewed interest in these pegmatites as sources of
feldspar or quartz or their potential as sources of uranium,
thorium and REE is limited due to their extremely low
content of economic mineralization (allanite, uraninite,
euxenite, monazite, Nb/Ta oxides, etc.), their small size
xxxix
and their irregular shape. All of the pegmatites are barren
of significant amounts of economic mineralization (ie. U,
Th, REE, Nb, Ta f Be-bearing minerals, quartz, feldspar) that
could potentially provide a source for developing small
production of several co-products of high unit value.
Several of the pegmatite dikes have been
identified as potential mineral collecting sites.

SUMMARY
xliii
It is apparent from this study that the pegmatites
cannot be classified geochemically into distinct groups.
All the potassium feldspar from the pegmatites have
extremely low Li, Rb and Cs concentrations, high Ba
concentrations and high K/Cs and K/Rb ratios which suggest
that the pegmatites are Mica-Ceramic Type of Gordiyenko
(1971, 1976). As such, they are not potentially rare-metal-
bearing.
Presently, renewed interest in these pegmatites as
sources of feldspar or quartz or their potential as sources
of uranium, thorium and REE is limited due to their
extremely low content of economic mineralization (allanite,
uraninite, euxenite, monazite, Nb/Ta oxides, etc.), their
small size and their irregular shape. All of the pegmatites
are barren of significant amounts of economic mineralization
(ie. U, Th, REE, Nb, Ta, Be-bearing minerals, quartz,
feldspar) that could potentially provide a source for
developing small production of several co-products of high
unit value.
Several of the larger pegmatites (eg. Richardson
Mine, Bathurst Mine) were developed prior to the advent of
flotation technology; however, the expenditures required to
rehabilitate the existing pits on these pegmatites to
current working standards would quite possibly render the
operation uneconomic.
xlv
The small size and lack of significant accessory
mineralization renders most of the pegmatites of the
Grenville of little interest to mineral collectors; however,
several of the larger, exposed and developed pegmatites that
contain large rubble piles, particularly in Monteagle (eg.
MacDonald Mine, Woodcox Mine, etc.), Chapman (eg. Blue Star
Mine) and Lyndoch Townships (eg. Wal-Gem East and West Pits)
remain as well known collecting sites even though they are
on private property. Intensive local prospecting aided by
significant overburden removal could potentially outline
further large pegmatites; however, the costs to do this
would be prohibitive.
The chemistry of several pegmatites is slightly
anomalous with respect to the chemistry of most of the
Grenville pegmatites and, although they will never produce
any rare-element (Cs, Li, Rb, Nb, Ta f Sn,)-bearing minerals,
they may contain as yet undeveloped mineral collecting
potential. Unfortunately, exposure of the sites of these
weakly anomalous pegmatites is limited; however, the
following dikes should be examined in detail as with respect
to developing them as potential mineral collecting sites.
At the Plevna (Whytock-Grey-Elkington) Mine dike
in Miller Township, abundant muscovite and pyrochlore can be
found on the dumps. No other exotic mineralogy was noted in
this dike.
xlvii
An examination of the minor amounts of rock
exposed and the rubble piles surrounding the Carey Mine
(Head Township) suggests that this dike could be a potential
mineral collecting site for garnet, euxenite and small books
of muscovite.
The Besner Mine (Henvey Township) unfortunately is
completely submerged (Figure 74). An occurrence of
stannite, located on the dumps and the reported beryl and
cyrtolite mineralization (Hewitt 1967) makes this location
another potential mineral collection site.
The Orser/General Electric Mine (Effingham
Township) appears to have the best potential of any of the
examined pegmatites for being developed as a mineral
collecting site. The dumps have not been disturbed since
the operation of the mine ceased (circa: 1950). The dike is
anomalous in the fact that it does host a well defined sodic
aplite phase, abundant amounts of muscovite and the only
documented occurrence of topaz from any of the Grenville
pegmatites. Good plagioclase feldspar (var. peristerite)
and K-feldspar (var. amazonite) specimens can be obtained
from this occurrence. This suggests the possibility that
this pegmatite may have been derived from one of the
adjacent granites.

INTRODUCTION
Granitic pegmatite2 intrusions are very common in
the Grenville Province of southeastern Ontario. In many
parts of the world they are a major or only source of many
rare-elements required by today's society (e.g., Rb, Cs, Nb,
Ta, Be, Li, Ga, etc.); however, only a very small percentage
of all pegmatites contain economic concentrations of rare-
element minerals. All pegmatites have the potential to be
excellent sources of mineral specimens for the mineral
collector because of their large crystal size and exotic
chemistry.
The purpose of the current study was to examine
some of the larger known granitic pegmatite occurrences in
the Bancroft area and attempt to classify them geochemically
into distinct pegmatite fields. A secondary objective was
to possibly identify several pegmatites close to each other
that could potentially provide small, economic production of
several co-products of high unit value (e.g., high purity
quartz, REE, U, Th or rare metals (i.e. Nb, Ta, Cs, Be,
etc.).

The syenite pegmatites in the Cardiff-Monmouth area
generally exhibit signs of reaction along their contacts;
however, the pegmatite at the Reeves Mine in Monteagle
Township is one of the few granitic pegmatites that any
massive reaction with the host rock has occurred. Here the
pegmatite is surrounded by an envelope of amphibole which in
turn is enclosed by quartz (Figure 6(a)). At locations
along the contact of the dike a third envelope of K-feldspar
has developed (Figure 6(b)); however, lack of exposure
prevented the determination of the extent and continuity of
this alteration. The amount of amphibole in the enclosing
gneisses decreases away from the dike.

granite abruptly changes into the coarser pegmatitic phase.

Of all the pegmatites examined only eight
occurrences of non-perthitic (at a hand specimen scale)
microcline were observed (e.g., Comet Quartz, and Cameron
Mines (Murchison Township) , Indian Feldspar Mines (Fraser
Township), and Bell Rock Feldspar Quarries, (Portland
Township) ) .

microcline is considered, by most workers, to be of

samples tourmaline inclusions are common. Other minor

pyrite. Note scale on photograph.

Plagioclase Feldspar
Plagioclase is also a common rock-forming mineral
in the pegmatites of the Grenville, subordinate in amount
only to K-feldspar. The colour of this mineral varies but
not to the extent of K-feldspar. The most common colour is
a very light tan to white colour; however, pink plagioclase
(with very thin twinning which on a cursory examination
closely mimics non-perthitic K-feldspar), grey, green-grey,
and brown plagioclase were noted. Peristerite, defined by
Smith (1975), as a plagioclase with bulk composition in the
range of Anz to Am e occurs as intergrowths of low albite
and another plagioclase probably near Anza. The
intergrowths are planar and gf thickness near the optical
wavelength of light. Refraction of the transmitted light by
these intergrowths causes the interference colours (i.e. the
peristeritic sheen).
Plagioclase also occurs as graphic intergrowth
with quartz (myrmekite) (cf. Barker, 1970). This is
especially noticeable again near the outer zones in the
better exposed Monteagle Township pegmatites (Watson #3,
MacDonald, Genesse #2).
Plagioclase (var. cleavelandite) a mineral common
in fractionated granitic pegmatites is found in the Wal Gem
47
Quartz
Quartz follows plagioclase feldspar in the order
of abundance. It occurs in all zones of the pegmatites.
The colour of the quartz in the Grenville pegmatites is
predominantly opaque to translucent white. One of the
larger known occurrences of rose quartz in the western world
occurs in Lyndoch Township. The colour of rose quartz is
suspected to be caused by ionic substitution of Ti* 4 for
Si* 4 (Deer et al., 1963b). Local Fe* 3 (hematite) staining
along fractures and microscopic hematite inclusions within
the quartz also accounts for some of the rose colouring.
Common in the radioactive pegmatites (e.g., Monteagle,
Bancroft, and Parry Sound areas) is a smoky-grey to black
coloured quartz. The smoky quartz is found surrounding the
now partially to completely metamict radioactive minerals
(uraninite, uranothorite, etc.) and in the Monteagle
Township pegmatites the quartz forms as a darkened rim (5-10
cm wide) around the large K-feldspar megacrysts in the
central intermediate zone of the pegmatite (Figure 10).
This could be a consequence of the radioactive potassium in
the feldspar structure; however, Deer et al., (1963b) also
note that substitution of Al* 3 for Si* 4 in the lattice
structure of quartz causes the darkened colour.

Radioactive uraninite mineralization within a K-feldspar
crystal. The radioactivity causes the uraninite to become
metamict and decays the surrounding K-feldspar crystal. The
characteristic reddish staining of the feldspar and smoky-
grey to black coloured quartz is common adjacent to any
radioactive mineralization in the pegmatites.

Potassium Feldspar
Potassium feldspar has be used as a source of
alumina in the manufacture of glass or porcelain, as a flux,
ceramic products such as pottery, sanitaryware (e.g.,
toilets, sinks, etc.), electrical porcelain, ceramic tile
and dinnerware. Finely ground feldspar is used as a filler
in latex, paint, urethane, and acrylics. A minor amount of
feldspar was used in abrasive cleaners and polishers but
this market has almost entirely been taken over by volcanic
ash or silica flour (Rogers et al., 1983).
Prices quoted by Industrial Minerals Magazine
(August 1988) are as follows: Commodity - Bulk, ceramic
grade potassium feldspar; price is per short ton
FOB Spruce Pine North Carolina (170-250 mesh)
S44.00 U.S.
FOB Monticello, Connecticut (200 mesh, High K20)
S73.50 U.S.
The prices vary depending on numerous parameters including
grade (e.g., K2O, A12O3, Fe, etc. content), mesh size,
contaminants (e.g., quartz, plagioclase, etc.).
Quartz
Very limited past (or current) production of
quartz has been obtained from the pegmatites of the
Grenville Province. Small amounts of this mineral were
removed during the 1920's (Table 1); however, a market was
56
Mica
Hewitt (1967) discusses the past uses and grades
of pegmatite muscovite. India produces roughly 80% of the
world's sheet mica supply (Benbow, 1988) and it commands a
price ranging from in excess of E750 per pound for the
finest quality, ruby clear to less than El per pound for the
lowest grade (Benbow, 1988). Production has, and is
continuing to steadily decline since the introduction of
solid state electronics. Other minor uses of mica include
its use in paints, drilling muds, plastics, fire protection
boards, welding rods and optical applications. None of the
examined pegmatites contains sufficient amounts of muscovite
to be economically viable and the muscovite in mica-bearing
pegmatites of the Mattawa area is quite "dirty".
Molybdenum
Molybdenite occurs sporadically in several
pegmatites in eastern Ontario only as a mineralogical
57
Rare-Earth Elements
Rare-earth elements form a coherent geochemical
group consisting of the lanthanide series (La, Ce, Pr, Nd,
Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) and Yttrium
(Rose 1960). These are subdivided into the light REE (from
La to Sm) and the heavy REE (from Gd to Lu).
Most pegmatites contain less REE than granites as
the concentration of REE tends to decrease in the last
phases of magmatic differentiation (Koljonen and Rosenberg,
1974). The Grenville pegmatites are not products of
magmatic differentiation and also contain very localized REE
mineralization. Hewitt (1967), Ewing and Chakoumakos
(1982), and Foord (1982) list the main REE-bearing mineral
species. The more common REE minerals, including uraninite,
allanite, pyrochlore fergusonite, euxenite, thorite,
uranothorite are listed in Table 2.
Graphic Granite
Most pegmatites contain some graphic granite, an
intergrowth of quartz and microcline perthite, near their
margins. With modern flotation methods the quartz and
feldspar could be separated; however, there is currently no
market for graphic granite except limited use as mineral
specimens for collectors and as a decorative stone.

Pegmatite Generating Processes
Over the years much has been written on the
internal evolution of granitic pegmatites. Jahns (1955) and
Jahns and Burnham (1969) published comprehensive papers on
this subject and a review of current and past thinking was
reviewed by Jahns (1982).
Jahns and Burnham (1969) proposed a model to
explain the crystallization of granitic pegmatites. In this
model they propose that a "silicate liquid is mechanically
emplaced from a separate source or it may have developed in
situ, either by segregation within a larger body of
crystallizing magma or by local fusion of crustal material."
This liquid is assumed to contain appreciable amounts of
dissolved volatiles (predominantly Ha O, although halides,
fluorides, etc. may be present). As the temperature of the
silicate liquid decreases, and the ensuing crystallization
of anhydrous minerals occurs, the percentage of Ha O in the
residual magma (silicate liquid) increases. Prior to the
loss of any volatile content, temperatures would be in the
600 *C. to 680 0 C. range and at moderately high confining
pressures (Jahns and Tuttle, 1963). The increase in
concentration of contained volatiles will cause an increase
in the vapour pressure of the silicate liquid as the
temperature continues to decrease. When the vapour pressure
equals the confining pressure a process known as resurgent
or second boiling will occur (Jahns and Tuttle, 1963). This
62
than those crystallized directly from the melt, and that the
degree of segregation of the alkali feldspars and other
minerals is in part a function of gravitational rising of
the vapour phase within the system."
Once this supercritical fluid forms, rapid growth
of the giant crystals proceeds. The ability of the
necessary components to diffuse quickly through the
(supercritical) vapour phase aids in the production of the
giant crystals. If at some point the confining pressure on
the system is released, there would be an immediate rise in
the liquidus temperature. This causes a "pressure-quench"
and results in the formation of a sodic aplite due to the
segregation of the K and Na-rich phases (Jahns and Tuttle,
1963).
Cameron et al. (1949) proposed a classification
based on internal zoning of pegmatite minerals. This
allowed the pegmatite mineral assemblages to be divided into
border zones, wall zones, intermediate zones and core zones
(Table 3). Cameron et al. (1949) also noted that "some
concentric units, however, are not zones but belong" in one
of two separate categories that they called "Fracture
Fillings" and "Replacement Units"
The three basic units of Cameron et al. (1949),
distinguished within granitic pegmatites, are defined by
them as:
1. "Zones are successive shells, complete or
incomplete, that reflect to varying degrees the

Textural Classification
Although it is well documented in the literature
(cf. Cameron et al., 1949; Jahns, 1955) that the internal
structure of pegmatites is extremely variable over short
distances, all classification (to date) of the Grenville
pegmatites into "pegmatite fields" has been based solely on
surface exposures of the pegmatite morphology.
These pegmatites of the Grenville Province have
been classified by numerous authors in the past (cf. Hewitt,
67
1959, 1967; Storey and Vos, 1981; Masson and Gordon, 1981).
Hewitt (1967) proposed the following descriptions:

Geographic Classification
The available literature documenting pegmatite
occurrences within the Grenville Province of Ontario (e.g.,
Hewitt, 1967; Masson and Gordon, 1981; Storey and Vos, 1981)
suggests specific geographic locations can be assigned to
areas hosting numerous pegmatite occurrences. This suggests
the possibility that the pegmatites can be potentially
classified into the following "pegmatite fields":
1. Hybla Area
2. Perth Area
3. Verona Area

Regional metamorphism is responsible for the
formation of the barren pegmatites of the Maximal Depth
Cerny (1982b). In this paper he discusses the formation of
these deep-seated pegmatites. "According to Ginsburg et al.
(1979), migmatitic terrains of granulite facies metamorphism
contain only barren, ceramic or allanite + monazite-bearing

NOTES: This dike can be followed along strike, past the
roadside fence for a distance of 65 metres. At a point 40
metres from the fence a small old exploration pit has been
blasted into the dike. Here the dike is 10 metres wide. At
65 metres the dike can be exposed as it drops off the spine
of the ridge into a swamp. Here the dike is 6 metres wide.
In both locations, the dike is composed of graphic K-
feldspar and quartz, plagioclase, accessory hornblende,
andmagnetite. Trace amount of garnet mineralization is
evident in the dike. No radioactive anomalies were noted.

NOTES: Minor amounts of tourmaline were noted in this
showing. This, and the fine-grained granitic texture and
predominant graphic K-feldspar character of this showing set
it apart from the Monteagle Township occurrences.
Tait Farm
LOCATION: (Township/Lot/Concession): Dungannon/24/9
ACCESS: This showing is located off the Bronson Station to
Detlor secondary gravel road. About 500 metres west of
Bronson Lake a farm road/trail leads south (immediately west
of an old farmhouse) to the showing. This road forks
approximately 200 metres in from the road. Access to the
showing is via the right fork (going in) 100 metres past the
junction; (Figure 35).

exposed in the trenches may be remnants of the rock
overlying the graphic granite. The minimum exposed
thickness of the granite is about 15 feet.
The pale-pink graphic granite has low
radioactivity..."

Richore
The Richore deposit located on Lot 5 f Concession 8
of Conger Township (Figure 68) has been mentioned by
numerous authors (cf. de Schmid, 1916; Satterly, 1943a;
Marmont, 1988). There is a water filled pit measuring 3
metres by 3 metres by l metre deep that has been excavated
on a pegmatite dike measuring 3.7 to 4.6 metres wide and
exposed for a distance of 76 metres (Satterly, 1943a). "The
quality of the feldspar in almost all the exposures examined
is seriously impaired by the presence of large flakes or
leaves of black biotite mica. This mineral occurs in
plates, up to 18 inches across, upon seams and joints in the
dike, and is especially abundant upon the contacts of the
dike with the country rock. ... Large pieces of clean and
pure feldspar are relatively rare, the dike possessing,
usually, a coarse granitic structure, and the spar is
intimately mixed with quartz" (Satterly, 1943a).
This showing was not visited.

pegmatite as follows: "An impure pegmatite composed of pink
microcline, white plagioclase, muscovite, and biotite

Brignall
This showing, located on Lot 7, Concession 10 of
Conger Township (Figure 68), is the largest reported
pegmatite body in the Huntsville-Parry Sound area. A
reported 4240 tons of feldspar were shipped between the
years 1923 and 1925 and an additional 5 r 188 tons between
1948 and 1949 (Martin, 1983). It has most recently been
described by Marmont and Johnston (1987) and previous to
this by numerous authors including Spence (1932), Ellsworth
(1932), Satterly (1943a), and Rose (1960).
Rose (1960) describes the pegmatite as "a
lenticular mass of pegmatite" that "cuts through granitic
and hornblende gneiss forming a ridge overlooking a
southwesterly trending valley to the west. The northwest
contact of the dike is covered, but a width of 75 feet of
the dike is exposed to the east of the pit, and the dike is
probably at least 125 feet wide at this point. The hanging
wall (eastern) contact of the dike strikes northerly but
swings to about N 650 E at the south end and dips 70 to 85*
E. Gneissosity in the hanging-wall rocks also strike
northerly and dips easterly at about 40 degrees."
Mineralogy of this pegmatite includes quartz,
potassium feldspar, plagioclase feldspar, garnet, and
muscovite (predominantly as sericite/muscovite schlieren in
the pegmatitic. These "pods" (schlieren) may also contain
allanite and garnet). Monazite and euxenite have also been
recognized (Lang et al., 1962) in the pegmatite. A large

Ojaipee
Located on Lot 4, Concession 9 of Conger Township
(Figure 68), the pit on this pegmatite dike is approximately
5 to 12 metres wide and 30 metres long and up to 5 metres
deep (Figure 70). The pegmatite has produced 1500 tons of
quartz and 100 tons of feldspar between 1910 and 1912
(Martin, 1983). Marmont and Johnston (1987) suggest that
the property was again active between 1927 and 1928 as a
total amount of material shipped was 3890 tons (Hewitt,
1967). This showing has been described by de Schmid (1916),
Satterly (1943a) and Marmont and Johnston (1987) .
"The spar body has a direction almost due east and
west, and averages 12 feet in width. The dike consists of
large masses of white or yellowish quartz, separated by
zones of pink microcline feldspar, the former mineral
predominating ... As a rule the feldspar occurs in large
crystals, up to two feet in length, embedded in a matrix of
quartz. Much of the rock on either side of the dike proper
has the composition of graphic-granite.
Large plates (up to two feet across) of black mica
are frequently met with throughout the dike, the mineral

Besner Mine
The Besner feldspar mine is located on Lot 5,
Concession B of Henvey Township (Figure 73). The dike, a
reported 18.3 metres (60 feet) wide (Hewitt, 1967a) was
developed between 1926 and 1929 by a open cut measuring 15
metres wide by 46 metres long and 9 metres deep. A reported
2,500 tons of feldspar were produced (Hewitt, 1967a). At
the present time beavers have this showing completely
flooded (Figure 74).
Mineralogy of this pegmatite includes quartz,
potassium feldspar (25-50% graphically intergrown with
quartz (Satterly, 1943a)), plagioclase feldspar with minor
amounts of biotite, hornblende, chlorite (altering from
biotite and hornblende) and trace amounts of garnet, sphene,
magnetite, pyrite, marcasite, hematite (as crystals (to l

described by Spence (1932), Satterly (1943a), Rose (1960),
Hewitt (1967a) and most recently by Marmont and Johnston
(1987). Past feldspar production amounted to 1,000 tons
(Table 1) between 1926 and 1927 (Hewitt, 1967) from a pit
some 50 metres long, 6 to 8 metres wide and 4 to 5 metres
deep (Marmont and Johnston, 1987). At the present time the
pit is water filled.
The dike contains many inclusions and bands of
gneiss. Mineralogy of the dike includes quartz, potassium
feldspar (predominantly as graphic intergrowths of K-
feldspar and quartz) and plagioclase feldspar with minor
amounts of biotite (somewhat altered to chlorite), garnet
and trace amounts of hematite (some pseudomorphing
magnetite), greenish muscovite, magnetite, fergusonite,
allanite (Sabina, 1986) and euxenite (Rose, 1960).

Comet Quartz
The Comet Quartz quarry is accessed from Highway
#11 at Trout Creek. Following Main Street east for 900
metres an intersection with a forest access road is reached.
This road is followed for 8.0 kilometres where an old
logging road on the east side of an open swamp heads north.
163
International Quartz
This prospect is located on the north shore of
Fletcher Lake. Access is via a road that turns north off
County Road No. 12 (Figure 77) that services the dam at the
south end of the Fletcher Lake. There is a quartz stockpile
on the north side of this road, approximately 13.9
kilometres in from the intersection of Highway #35 and
Dorset Road at Dorset. Approaching the showing from Dorset,
a road leaves this dam access road on the left, 250 metres
in from the main road, just before the dam is reached. This
road is 1.25 kilometres long and ends at the International
Quartz quarry.
Martin (1983) describes this pegmatite as a dike
in which "quartz constitutes 90 percent of a pegmatite vein
that cuts metagabbro just north of West Fletcher Lake. As
of 1977, two quarries had been excavated on the dike, the
main one being 30 metres by 7.6 metres by 6 metres high.
Martin (1983) reports approximately 8000 tons of quartz had
been marketed. The quarry is presently active on demand for
local decorative and commercial purposes."
Very minor K-feldspar and plagioclase occur in the
dike and are concentrated along the contacts of the dike.

Kirkham (1003)
The Kirkham Mine (Figure 78) produced a reported
3,140 tons of feldspar (Hewitt, 1952) between 1917 and 1923.
The K-feldspar on the dumps indicates that the feldspar
mined was quite graphically intergrown with quartz. Spence
(1932) describes the showing as being "worked by various
operators in a small way between 1917 and 1923, but the
total output was small. There has been no further work. A
single shallow pit 150 by 75 feet was opened in a small dike
of spar carrying considerable black mica, tourmaline, garnet
and pyrite, and most of the material mined was low grade."
Current exposure is limited.

Perth. Most of the work done has been confined to a single
open-cast pit 125 by 90 by 60 feet deep, with a small amount

This deposit has been described by Spence (1932).
The deposit was "opened in 1921...and was one of the
earliest major properties to be worked in Bathurst Township
and remained the principal operator until it closed down in
1928.
Operations were commenced on a rather narrow
surface showing of red spar, which; however, widened with
depth to 30 feet at the bottom of the main pit. This pit,

This deposit is located immediately east of the
secondary road that runs parallel to, but l kilometre west
of, the Bells Corners to Fallbrook road (Figure 78). The
pit is water filled and the dumps are overgrown. Spence
(1932) states that " a few carloads of spar were mined ...
in 1921. A pit 70 by 70 by 20 feet deep was opened, but the
material proved to be of inferior grade, containing too much
tourmaline, mica (biotite) and pyrite, and work was
abandoned."
Hewitt (1952) reports a total of 4,685 tons of
feldspar were shipped from this showing.
Charles (998)
This showing is located on Lot 9, Concession 8 of
Bathurst Township, approximately 500 metres south of the
Bennett Bay access road (Figure 78). It is a small,
overgrown pit with apparently no or very little past
production. Spence (1932) states that a few tons of
feldspar were shipped and that "the dike is a small one and
carries large segregated masses of quartz, in which lie spar
crystals of considerable size."
175
Furlong (992)
This is a small showing on Lot 16, Concession 9 of
Bathurst Township (Figure 78). The pegmatite consists
predominantly of graphically intergrown K-feldspar and
quartz and plagioclase. Accessory biotite and tourmaline
mineralization is common and garnet can be seen. Hewitt
(1952) reports that 1,238 tons of feldspar were shipped
between 1929 and 1930 from this showing (Table 1).
Bowes (993)
A small cut, measuring approximately 3 by 5 by 2
metres deep was made into a pegmatite on Lot 16 (east half),
Concession 8 of Bathurst Township (Figure 78). This dike is
predominantly a graphic granite dike. The fine-grain size
(less than 5 cm) and the abundance of graphically intergrown
K-feldspar and quartz made this dike uneconomic in the past.
Spence (1932) notes that the pit was opened and closed in
1929 and subsequently, no further work has been undertaken.
Tourmaline, biotite and pyrite are common
accessory minerals in the dike. Current exposure is limited
to the immediate stripped area adjacent to the workings.

Minor Occurrences
The following showings sustained little or no
commercial production and the pegmatites may or may not have
been actively explored in the past. Any production is
summarized in Table 1. The location of these showings is
shown on Figure 78.

O'Halloran (1011)
This pit was not located. It is reported to be on
Lot l, Concession 2 of Bathurst Township. Spence (1932)
writes: "This property was worked in 1920-21 by Feldspar
Quarries Ltd., who opened a shallow pit 150 by 60 feet. No
further mining has taken place. A few cars are reported to
have been shipped from this property in 1919 by Mr. J. H.
Mendels, of Perth.
The deposit, which lies near the south shore of
Christie Lake, consists of reddish feldspar, rather
intimately mixed with considerable black mica, tourmaline
and quartz and much of the rock is accordingly of low
grade."

Mr. S. Orser, of Perth. Most of the small output consisted
of stucco material and was crushed in a small plant erected
on the property. The mine has been idle since 1922.
The property lies alongside the tracks of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, near Christie Lake."

This pegmatite on Lot 22, Concession 9 of Bathurst
Township was not located. Rose (1960) reports that this
pegmatite (also called the Ennis Showing) "was opened for
feldspar mining in a single pit and two test pits. The main
pit is about 30 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 18 feet deep,
in a field about 375 feet southwest of the gravel road from
Balderson to Fallbrook, and northwest of Perth.
The dike cuts through granite and granite gneiss,
the gneissosity of which strikes at N. 60* W. and dips 45*
SW. The dike strikes at about N. 15* E. and apparently dips
almost vertically. It is exposed for a length of 150 feet
and width of 30 feet, but test pits to the south along
strike indicate that the dike, or an extension of the dike,
outcrops for an additional 250 to 500 feet. Most of the
material removed from the pits remains on the dumps.
The dike is zoned, with a quartz-rich core flanked
by zones of buff and pink feldspar that are intergrown with
quartz. Tourmaline and euxenite occur sporadically in the
outer zones of the dike. Euxenite occurs in dark amber to
black, vitreous crystals up to 5 inches long and 0.5 inch
thick, and as clots in feldspar. Some of the crystals are

This showing is on Lot 4, Concession 4 of Bathurst
Township. The pegmatite was "worked in a small way in 1921-
22 by Mr. S. Orser of Perth. The production was small, and
only a few cars of spar and quartz were shipped" (Spence,
1932). This showing was not visited.
General Decryption
Very little information exists on the pegmatites
in the Verona area. There are hundreds of pegmatite dikes
in the Verona area. Most of them are too narrow to allow
for feldspar production; even in the early 1900's when
feldspar deposits were actively being pursued most received
little or no attention aside from a sporadic exploration
pit.
Harding (1947) mapped the regional geology of the
area and examined many of the developed showings; however,
this was many years after the work on them had been
completed and exposure was limited. Brinsmead (1975)
discusses the mineral (including feldspar) resource
potential of Loughborough Township but he doesn't deal
specifically with the pegmatites.

The Richardson Feldspar Mine in Bedford Township is the
largest feldspar mine in Ontario. Active between 1900 and
1951, it produced 228,690 tons of feldspar. The pit, cut
into a hillside, is 152 metres long, 61 metres wide and 46
metres deep. The lower central area of the pegmatite is
water filled and inaccessible.

Richardson North
The Richardson North pegmatite outcrops on both
sides of the Desert Lake Road, approximately 250 metres due
north of the north end of the Richardson pit. It seems to
be on strike with the Richardson dike and as such, may be an
extension of this pegmatite. A small exploration pit on the
north side of the road has been developed on this dike. The
width of this dike is unknown as no contacts are exposed.
Hoppins (841)
This pegmatite is located on the north shore of a
small lake on Lot 2, Concession 3 of Bedford Township. This
is the International Feldspar Co. Ltd. Showing described by
Harding (1951; pg. 52). The showing consists of three
adjacent pits (9 metres in diameter, 7.6 by 3 metres, 12.2
by 7.6 metres), all of unknown depth and presently water
filled. Harding (1951) examined the dike and noted that
although the pits were water filled, "feldspar, quartz,
pyroxene and a little disseminated pyrite were identified in
the walls of the pits."
187
Gamey (855)
This dike is exposed on Lots 5 and 6, Concession
12 of Portland Township. The pit is completely inaccessible
and water filled. De Schmid (1916) states that the dike is
"traversed by stringers and veins of white quartz.
Hornblende crystals are developed in the dike near its
contact with the enclosing gneiss, and what are, apparently,
included fragments of the country rock are to be seen at the
east end of the pit. The average grade of the run-of-mine
is high and the property has yielded a large quantity of
excellent spar.
There is only one pit - an opening 300 feet long
and averaging 20 feet in width and about 60 feet in depth.
This open cut has been excavated upon a NE-SW spar dike,
which here traverses a small knoll, the pit forming a
narrow, open trench or drift, running back from the north
face of the hill."
Hewitt (1967) mentions that this dike produced
both quartz and feldspar.
Mineral samples of plagioclase (var. peristerite)
showing good colouration can be obtained from this
occurrence. Pyroxene, magnetite, pyrite, tourmaline and
trace garnet and sphene mineralization was also noted. No
radioactive mineralization was indicated by an
scintillometer survey over the dump area.

This showing is on a ridge projecting into a swamp
on Lot 2, Concession 12 of Loughborough Township. No work
has been carried out on this showing with the exception of a
single blasted exploration pit at the northeast end of the
exposed pegmatite. The west contact with the enclosing
metasediments is sharp and approximately 13 metres across
the strike of the dike; the pegmatite is buried by
overburden and a swamp. The grain size of the feldspars in
the dike is small, usually less than 25 cm. The dike is
exposed along strike for a distance of approximately 75
metres. Mineralogically, this pegmatite is typical of all
Verona area pegmatites, containing quartz, plagioclase
feldspar, K-feldspar and minor amounts of biotite,
tourmaline and pyrite. No radioactive areas were indicated
by a hand-held scintillometer. The K-feldspar in this dike
is predominantly a graphic intergrowth of quartz and K-
feldspar.

Gardner B (886)
The Gardner B Showing on Lot l, Concession 11 of
Loughborough Township is located on the east side of, and
directly adjacent to, the Holleford to Desert Lake Road.
There is no exposure of pegmatite along strike from a water
filled pit (approximately 10 by 15 metres by an unknown
depth - presumed to be shallow as indicated by the lack of
rubble and dump material). Minerals observed in the dumps
include quartz, feldspar, biotite, tourmaline and trace
magnetite and pyrite. No radioactive minerals were noted.
Spence (1932) mentions this pegmatite as follows:
"A dike of pink spar carrying considerable amounts of
impurities was worked on this lot from 1920 to 1924 by the
Gardner Feldspar Company and the Cleveland Feldspar and
Products Ltd. The production consisted chiefly of low-grade
spar, which was crushed in a small plant erected on the
property and sold for stucco and chicken grit. The mine has
been idle since 1924 and the crushing equipment has been
removed."
A second pegmatite on the east side and adjacent
to the same road, approximately 400 metres north of the
above showing has been exploited in the past. A cut
approximately 5 metres wide and up to 4 metres deep has been
made on this pegmatite. Very little can be seen as the
floor is covered with debris. Minerals noted in the rocks
on the scattered and overgrown dumps include quartz,
feldspar, biotite, tourmaline and pyrite. No radioactive

This showing is on the south shore of Fourteen
Island Lake. Hewitt (1952) reports that 9,660 tons of
feldspar have been shipped from this showing between 1902
and 1926. Spence (1932) reports that most of the production
on this property came from the pit that measures 37 by 18 by
5 metres deep. The pegmatite is currently very poorly
exposed and the dumps have overgrown. The K-feldspar
mineralization is a light buff-brown colour and accessory
minerals noted in the dumps include tourmaline, biotite, and
trace amounts of sphene, garnet and pyrite. A small K-
feldspar stockpile remains on site.

This showing, on Lot 3, Concession 10 of Portland
Township, is overgrown and little can be seen. Spence
(1932) describes the property as having been "worked from
1922 to 1925 by Mr. T. H. Craig, of Perth. A single pit was
opened on a 40 foot dike of pink spar cutting crystalline
limestone. The deposit contains considerable soda spar,
much of which is the variety peristerite and exhibits an
attractive colour-play. Calcite is also present in the
dike. Shipments are said to have totalled about 1,500
tons. "

exposed at the northeast end. Anatase was identified on the
dumps.

The Reynolds (or Fourteen Island Lake) quarry on
Lot 5, Concession 12 of Portland Township was not visited.
The showing can be reached by following an old mine road,
now kept open by the Kingston Bird Watching Club. This road
extends approximately 2.5 kilometres west toward Holleford
Lake from the Sydenham to Desert Lake Road.
The showing has been described as follows by de
Schmid (1916). This quarry is "situated on the east side of
Mud Lake" [Holleford Lake] "It is reported that 8,000 tons
of spar have been taken from this deposit up to date"
(1916). No further production has occurred since this date
(Hewitt, 1952). "There is only one opening - an open cut
about 200 feet long, and 35-40 feet wide. This follows a
NE-SW spar dike, carrying both pink and white microcline, in
which occur masses of quartz. The pit has reached a depth
of 25 feet at the southwest end, while at the northeast end
it has been sunk to 50 feet."
Minor Occurrences
Any other pegmatite occurrences from this area
examined by other authors in the past are mentioned below

This pegmatite showing is located on Lot 9,
Concession 11 of Loughborough Township. Spence (1932) notes
that "a little work was done on this lot by Mr. S. Orser, of
Perth, in 1921, and a few cars of feldspar are reported to

Messrs. Cronk and Van Luven, of Hartington" (Spence, 1932).
This property was not visited.
has been undertaken in the past. Two small pits have been
excavated. The pegmatite is a finer-grained graphic K-
feldspar-bearing dike with trace accessory tourmaline,
biotite, garnet and pyrite.
The second dike is approximately 200 metres
northeast of the first pit. The size of the rubble piles
suggests that the water filled pit is not very deep. K-
feldspar is unusually rare on the dumps which suggests that
the dike is anomalously poor in potassium or the crystal
size of the mineralization was very coarse and all the K-
feldspar could be effectively hand cobbed. Pyrite,
tourmaline, biotite and three large (2 cm) crystals of
molybdenite were noted on the dumps. This dike is very
poorly exposed.
Feldspar Quarries
This showing is located just west of the Card
Quarry on Lot 16 (west half), Concession 11 of Portland
Township (Figure 83). The access trail to the Card Quarry
continues to the Front Pit of this showing. This showing
consists of two pits, the Front Pit and the Back Pit that
apparently are on the same dike; however this could not be
confirmed because of lack of exposure and the position of
the rubble piles.
De Schmid (1916) described the property. "The
spar body possesses the same general direction as that at

Card Mine
This pegmatite is located on Lot 16 (east half),
Concession 11 of Portland Township, immediately north of an
access trail. this trail continues west from the secondary
road (that leads to Verona) at the point where this road
makes a sharp 90 degree turn to the north.
De Schmid (1916) described the quarry. "There is
only one opening, this being an open pit 400 feet long, 40
feet wide, and about 35 feet deep. About 100 feet of
202
stripping has also been carried out at the north end of the
pit, making a total length of 500 feet worked. The spar
dike has a direction almost due north and south, and dips
vertically, its width being the same as the pit, namely 40
feet. The walls are well defined, and consist of dark
coloured gneiss, which becomes lighter in colour as the
distance from the dike increases. This is a common feature
of the gneiss enclosing the spar dikes in the district: the
intrusions, have apparently been attended by the formation
in the country rock of considerable amounts of secondary
biotite, and sometimes, also, of hornblende. The occurrence
of large crystals of the latter mineral in the dike mass
itself, is often a conspicuous characteristic, though at
this particular point little of this mineral is in evidence.
Tourmaline, however, in large crystal aggregates, is a
common accessory mineral, and large blocks were observed on
the dumps.
The feldspar is the usual type of pink microcline,
and forms the main constituent of the dike, quartz stringers
and splashes occurring throughout its mass."

Federal (780)
The Federal Feldspar Company Showing on Lot 25,
Concession 3 of Bedford Township consists of three pits that
were worked during 1920 and 1921. The two larger pits, one
43 by 9 by a reported 8 metres deep (Spence, 1932) and the
other 40 by 9 by a reported 9 metres deep (Spence, 1932) are
now water filled and little can be seen (Figure 88) . The
third pit, located approximately 100 metres north of the two
water filled pits, is a small exploration pit approximately
10 metres long by 3 metres wide and l metre deep. It has
overgrown and filled in over the years; consequently, very
little rock remains exposed.
Harding (1951) describes the pegmatite as
"...masses containing both pink and white feldspar, and
quartz, biotite, muscovite and tourmaline were visible above
the water level in two of the pits. The surrounding country

This feldspar prospect in a pegmatite dike is
located on Lot 11, Concession 7 of Bedford Township. The
property was not visited; however. Harding (1951) gives the
following description. "Three feldspar prospect pits, none
of which exceeds 10 feet in depth, are situated on the farm
of Hilliard Patterson close to the north shore of the
northeast bay of Crow Lake, Lot 34, Concession 5, Bedford
Township. The pits were sunk by Stoness and Kent during the
first quarter of the present century. Masses of pegmatite
cutting Precambrian sediments are exposed in each pit. In
addition to abundant pink feldspar, the pegmatite masses
contain quartz, biotite, hornblende, tourmaline, actinolite,
and small amounts of pyrite and magnetite. Quartz is
disseminated throughout the pink feldspar. No large body of
pure feldspar was exposed in any of the pits."
Stoness (760)
This showing is reported to be on the eastern part
of the west half of Lot 32, Concession 3 of Bedford Township
(Harding, 1951). It was not visited. Harding (1951) notes
that two pits were sunk on the property located "a few yards
east and parallel to the Canadian Pacific Railway. ... The
pits are less than 100 yards apart. The larger pit, which
lies about 100 feet from the railway, is 20 feet long and 10
feet wide; its depth was not ascertained because the
location is on low ground and the excavation was filled with
209
the largest ridge being about 100 feet and its length 500
feet. These ridges seem to constitute a series of parallel
dikes of feldspar, and are separated by narrow belts of dark
schist."
Robinson (770)
This prospect was not visited? however, Harding
(1951) supplies the following description. "A feldspar pit
is situated about 100 feet north of the barn on the farm of
Durwood Robinson in the northeastern part of Lot 30,
Concession 2, Bedford Township. The pit, which was filled
with water when examined in 1944 and which was reported to
be about 14 feet deep, lies in a pegmatite dike. The
pegmatite consists largely of pink potash feldspar, quartz,
and a little hornblende. The pegmatite mass intrudes
granite gneiss. The pit was sunk between 1927 and 1930 by
Tom Craig, of Verona. The deposit is situated close to the
Kingston and Renfrew branch of the Canadian Pacific
Railway."

Kennedy (774)
This showing reported to be on Lot 28, Concession

which is about 6 feet square and about 12 feet deep, is
situated a few hundred feet west of the farm house on the
western part of the lot.
The rocks in the vicinity consist largely of
granite gneisses and pegmatite. The dike strikes
northeastward and passes north of the farm house.
At the time of the writer's visit in June 1942,
the pit was partly filled with water. The most abundant
mineral visible in the pit and on the dump was red potash
feldspar. Quartz, biotite, and tourmaline, however, were
intimately associated with the feldspar in such a manner
that it is of no commercial value. No substantial body of
valuable feldspar was visible."
sunk about 200 feet west of the Crow Lake road. Some
shipments were made, but the operation was abandoned in the
fall of 1920. When the location was visited by the writer
in September, 1942, the pit was full of water, and
conditions suggested that no work had been carried out since
1920.
The rocks in the vicinity consist of contorted
granite gneiss, which strikes in a northeast-southwest
direction. The mass of pegmatite in which the pit is
situated cuts across the gneiss in a northwest-southeast
direction. Other masses of pegmatite occur in the vicinity.
The pegmatite exposed in the pit consists of an intimate
mixture of pinkish feldspar, quartz, and biotite, with a
little hornblende. In some places the feldspar and quartz
occur as graphic granite. Some basic dikes that cut the
gneisses appear to be cut by the pegmatite.
No large body of feldspar of sufficient purity to
be of commercial importance was exposed."
ALICE AREA
(1981) and Masson and Gordon (1981) have described the two
main showings. Rocks in the area have been mapped, at a
reconnaissance-scale only, as gneissic quartz monzonites and
biotite quartz feldspar gneisses by Lumbers (1975, 1976,
1977, 1980).
The showings (Figure 89) can be accessed from the
railway tracks as documented by Storey and Vos (1981) or via
a walking or ATV (all terrain vehicle) trail that continues
west on the north side of the tracks. This trail provides
access to the hunt camp shown on Figure 54, page 171 of
Storey and Vos (1981) . The North Mine can also be accessed
via a road heading north from a hunt camp located at the mine
and presumably connects to the Achray Road.

bearing minerals (fergusonite, pyroclore^ uranothorite and
uraninite; Masson and Gordon (1981)). Current exposure in
the pit is very poor; however, stripping north of the pit
has exposed an area of abundant quartz with minor K-feldspar
crystals. Zones of radioactivity are very local and assoc

This showing (Lot 15 Concession 4 in Miller

metres (Figure 90). The dumps are moderately overgrown;
however, minerals and textures seen in rocks from the dumps
suggest that the pegmatite is a zoned pegmatite containing a
fairly large intermediate zone of K-feldspar * quartz.
Other minerals observed include quartz and plagioclase with
accessory muscovite, minor biotite (in the wall zone),
pyrite (cubes to 3 cm) and U/Th, and REE-bearing minerals

quartz and feldspar and minor amounts of coarse-grained
tourmaline (one crystal was reported to measure 40 cm by 4
cm: Satterly, 1945). Much of the K-feldspar is graphically
intergrown with quartz. The dike has been explored by three
pits and appears to be at least 60 metres wide; however, the
contact with hornblende gneiss is exposed only at one
location on the north side of the dike (and strikes 0850
while dipping 70* N.). Prospecting over the dumps and in

A pale-green muscovite of clear quality was being recovered.
Many of the books were more than a foot in diameter. The
foliation of the gneiss in the immediate vicinity of the
dikes appears to be almost flat lying. The dike, therefore,
may represent a fracture situated in or near the axis of a
fold.
Location F. - The dike at location F in the
southern part of claim S.35,975 was the third discovery of
Justin Purdy and is now the No. l working of Purdy Mica
Mines. From the beginning of operations by Purdy and
McDonald in 1941 to September 1943, most of the mica
produced, both by members of the Purdy family and by Purdy
Mica Mines, including the mammoth-sized crystal previously
mentioned, was obtained from this dike. The dike strikes
northeast, dips about 75* N.W., and cuts rather massive,
dark-coloured gneiss. In August, 1943, the dike was exposed
on the south slope of a hill for a distance of more than 200
feet. The pegmatite ranges in width from 8 to 12 feet,
being widest at the southwest end towards the bottom of the
hill. At this point it branches into two parts, both of
which pass beneath overburden. Toward its northwest
extremity the dike gradually becomes narrower. It finally
separates into a group of several small veins, which pinch
out in the dark-coloured gneiss.
Work was first commenced at this location by
Justin Purdy early in 1942, when an open pit sunk on the

Ottawa. The deposit carries rusty spar mixed with magnetite
and biotite. Considerable euxenite and allanite are also
present, the latter in large crystals. Only a few tons of
clean spar were recovered" (Spence, 1932).

The pegmatite on this lot is "reported to have
been worked intermittently on a small-scale since 1925 by
Mr. J. Norreno, of Burritt, Ont. Two small pits were opened
and about 200 tons of spar are stated to have been shipped.
The property lies one mile from Rankin station, on the
Canadian Pacific railway" (Spence, 1932) .

LOCATION: Lot 30, Concession B; Cameron Township.
"Two cars of spar were taken from this property in
1927 by Mr. Turcotte, of Mattawa. One small pit was opened
on an outcrop of pink spar crystals, scattered through
massive quartz. Black mica is present in large, thin plates
and considerable garnet occurs in the wall zones. There has
been no further work. The distance from Rankin station is
1.5 miles" (Spence, 1932).

88-BEG-2: This fine grained rock is mainly quartz with minor plagioclase
and sphene; considerable calcite is present in the XRD scan but it is
probably derived from calcite on the surface of the sample.
88-BEG-4: Columbite-tantalite.
88-BEG-5: Stannite.

88-BEG-6: The XRD pattern for this mineral fits that of chlorite well.
However, it could be thorite although one major peak is missing. Minor
feldspar is also present.
The X-rayed powder was then heated at 1000 deg C. for an hour in air.
The XRD pattern was difficult to interpret indicating the possible
presence of soddyite. Subsequently, this pattern has been interpreted to
indicate that the feldspar and uraninite reacted at high temperature to
give soddyite.
SEM x-ray analysis on a diffferent fragment indicates the presence of Na,
Al, Si, but mostly Uranium, This fragment was then heated for an hour at
1000 deg C. The XRD pattern shows the presence of plagioclase and U3O8
confirming the SEM results. The U3O8 probably results from the oxidation
of uraninite in air during the heating.
To conclude, this mineral is most probably a metamict uraninite.
88-BEG-8: Topaz.
