Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources Office, June 1, 1970. James Dickson, retired Chief Inspector of Mines, died in Vancouver on September 8, 1969, in his eighty-eighth year. He was born in Scotland and studied mining engineering at the Royal Technical College, Glasgow. He came to British Columbia in 1912 and, after holding official positions in several Vancouver Island coal mines, became manager of the Reserve mine of the Western Fuel Company. In 1919 he left this position to join the staff of the Department of Mines as Inspector of Mines and member of the Board of Examiners for coal-mine officials. He became Chief Inspector in 1926, which position he held until his retirement on April 30, 1947. During his long tenure of office he was instrumental in introducing many sound safety provisions in both the Coal and Metalliferous Mines Regulation Acts. He was especially active in promoting mine-rescue work and in the training of mine personnel for this very important and necessary phase of safety work. Mr. Dickson is survived by two daughters and one son. CONTENTS CHAPTER I Introduction.. Review of the Mineral Industry..

From 1874 to 1959 it was the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines, and since 1960 it has been the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Starting with 1969, the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources will contain a review of the mineral industry, and chapters dealing with Statistics, Departmental Work, Petroleum and Natural Gas, and Inspection of Mines. Technical reports on geology, mineral exploration, metal mines, placer, industrial minerals and structural materials, and coal which formerly were included in the Annual Report are being published separately in a volume entitled Geology, Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia. A new series of annual publications of that name begins with the 1969 volume. This Annual Report contains a general review of the mineral industry as a whole. The chapter on Statistics records the mineral production of the Province in all its phases and in considerable detail. Current and past practices in arriving at quantities and in calculating the values of products are outlined. The organization of the Department and the work of its various branches are outlined briefly in the chapter on Departmental Work. The chapter on Petroleum and Natural Gas contains a general review and records in considerable detail the development and production statistics of that expanding industry. Information concerning mine safety, fatal accidents, dangerous occurrences, etc., and the activities of the Inspection Branch are contained in the chapter on Inspection of Mines. A 11 1969 Change (Per Cent) $294,175,536 + 17.2 21,222,411 — 18.6 55,331,584 +22.4 93,573,164 + 12.9 Review of the Mineral Industry By Stuart S. Holland Production.—The value of the 1969 production of British Columbia's mineral industry amounted to $464,302,695. A new record was established for the eighth successive year and the previous year's total was exceeded by $59,274,207 or 14.6 per cent. The total value to date has now reached $7,160 million. The values of the four classes of products are as follows:— 1968 Metals $250,912,026 Industrial minerals ... 26,056,782 Structural materials __ 45,189,476 Fuels 82,870,204 The increase in metal production by 17.2 per cent was due to the remarkable increases in the production of copper ($24.3 million) and molybdenum ($14 million). The copper increase combined an increased quantity with an increase in average price from 54.22 to 66.66 cents per pound; the molybdenum increase largely was due to increased production at Endako mine. The decrease in value of industrial minerals was due to a reduction in value of sulphur ($5.8 million). Not only was the production from Jefferson Lake down but there was a large reduction in the arbitrary price used in valuing the sulphur content of the sulphuric acid produced by Cominco Ltd. Structural materials increased in value (by $10.1 million) mostly due to increased value of cement, sand, and gravel. The value of fuels increased by 12.9 per cent despite decreased production of coal. Both crude oil and natural gas continue to increase in quantity and value. In 1969, coal contributed 7.3 per cent of the total value but, with the start of bulk shipments of coal to Japan, this percentage should increase considerably in 1970. During the next few years it is anticipated that the total value of production will continue to increase. New production of copper is expected from several important properties proceeding toward production, and several properties in production in 1970 or shortly thereafter will contribute significantly to the output of molybdenum. Production of coal will increase greatly because of deliveries to Japan starting in April, 1970. Petroleum and natural gas production are expected to maintain a steady growth. Provincial Revenue.—Direct revenue to the Provincial Government derived from the entire mineral industry in 1969 was as follows:— Free miners' certificates, recording fees, lease rentals, assessment payments, etc. $1,779,378.16 Royalties on iron concentrates 252,489.34 Rentals and royalties on industrial minerals and structural materials 239,024.00 Fifteen-per-cent mining tax (received during 1969) 3,725,329.00 Coal licences 78,605.90 Petroleum and natural gas rentals, fees, etc 10,339,973.73 A 12 REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY A 13 Sale of Crown reserves $21,646,451.54 Royalties on oil, gas, and processed products 12,796,833.56 Miscellaneous 19,625.19 Total $50,877,710.42 Metal Mining.—In 1969, 60 mines produced 31.8 million tons of ore. Eight mines produced more than 1 million tons each and nine open-pit mines produced more than 21 million tons. In 1969, 29 concentrators were in operation. A new concentrator, capacity 24,000 tons per day, was completed at Brenda mine. Concentrators with total capacity of 10,575 tons per day were under construction at the Granduc, Greyhound, Magnum, Silverquick, Mount Copeland, and True Fissure mines. Exploration and development work reached a sufficiently advanced stage for production to be expected within the next few years from the following properties: Island Copper (copper-molybdenum) at Rupert Inlet; Lornex and Alwin (copper) in Highland Valley; Newman (copper) on Babine Lake; Ingerbelle and Copper Mountain (copper) at Princeton; Nadina (silver-lead-zinc) at Owen Lake; Invincible (tungsten) at Salmo; Annex (lead-zinc) near Remac; and Ruth Vermont (silver-lead-zinc) near Golden. During the year mining and concentrating operations were terminated by Zeballos Iron Mines Limited (FL mine). The Trail smelter treated 7,456 tons of crude ore and 359,937 tons of concentrates from British Columbia as well as a large tonnage of concentrates, ore, and scrap from sources outside the Province. A total of 2,220,867 tons of concentrates was shipped to foreign smelters. Of the total metal production of the Province, concentrates representing 9.0 per cent of the total value were shipped to American smelters and concentrates representing 43.3 per cent of the total value were shipped to Japanese smelters.

Destinations of British Columbia molybdenum are as follows: Canada and the United States, 10 per cent; Japan, 14 per cent; and the bulk of the remainder sold in Europe, with the United Kingdom taking 27 per cent. Prospecting for, and exploration and development of, mineral deposits continued at a high level of activity throughout the Province. The chief interest was in copper, copper-molybdenum, and molybdenum deposits in the Omineca, Kamloops, Cariboo, and Atlin Mining Divisions. The number of mineral claims recorded in 1969 was 84,665, a 40-per-cent increase over 1968. Slightly less exploratory diamond drilling but slightly more percussion drilling was done in 1969. The employment statistics for exploration work were slightly less in 1969, 11,466 man- J A 14 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 months, compared with 11,794 man-months in 1968. About 430 geological, geo- chemical, and geophysical reports were accepted by the Department in 1969. They represent not less than $2,060,000 in work done on claims. The statistics of exploration and development of mineral deposits and mines are presented as recorded on Dominion Bureau of Statistics forms. Comparable figures for petroleum and natural gas are not available. Exploration and Development Expenditures, 1969 Physical Work Land Costs Head Office Administration, Etc.

Exploration includes all work up to the point when a company declares their intention of proceeding to production. Departmental records indicate that a total of not less than 11,500 man-months of work was done by company and contractor employees in prospecting for and exploring metallic mineral deposits. This figure is not comparable with the one in Table 10 which shows the total company employees reported to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Major operating expenditures in 1969 by companies involved in the exploration and mining of metals, minerals, and coal were as follows:— Mining operations—metals, minerals, coal $133,903,585 Structural materials operations 13,488,952 Capital expenditures 70,738,768 Repair expenditures 21,296,769 Exploration and development 139,897,000 TotaL $379,325,074 Capital and repair expenditures are listed separately because of difficulties in allocating them consistently. Actually most of the repair expenditures should be applied to mining operations, and most of the capital expenditures to exploration and development. Coal Mining.—In 1969 the coal-mining industry of British Columbia was in transition from a dormant period which had existed since about 1950 to a period of expansion and greatly increased production resulting from the sustained demand for coking-coal by the Japanese steel industry. The 15-year contracts signed by Kaiser Resources Ltd., and the prospective contracts being negotiated by other companies in the East Kootenay coalfield seem to indicate an immediate increase REVIEW OF THE MINERAL INDUSTRY A 15 in output to about 5 million tons per year, followed by a further increase to 9 million tons and perhaps even higher. In order to carry out this expansion, a tremendous increase in facilities both at the mines and at the shipping points, together with far- reaching changes in railway transportation methods, has been necessary. The new bulk-coal shipping terminals at Roberts Bank and at Neptune Terminal in Vancouver Harbour were substantially completed by the end of the year. The amount of coal sold and used in 1969 amounted to 852,340 short tons valued at $6,817,155, a decrease of $771,834 or 10.2 per cent. Almost all this production (99 per cent) was from the Michel operations of Kaiser Resources Ltd. Coal exploration has been stimulated by the more favourable outlook for sales by the industry. Not only has exploration been active in the East Kootenay coalfield, but a number of other coal areas in the Province have been re-examined. Perhaps the most significant discovery was east of Sukunka River, 36 miles south of Chetwynd, where reserves of high-grade coking-coal in relatively flat-lying seams are being explored. Petroleum and Natural Gas.—The 1969 value of production of the petroleum industry amounted to $86.8 million. For the fifth successive year there was a substantial gain in production. Gains in production compared to 1968 for crude oil were 16.3 per cent in value and 14.2 per cent in quantity, and for natural gas were 13.7 per cent in value and 15.3 per cent in quantity. Crude oil was second only to copper in value. Secondary recovery schemes from the oilfields producing from Triassic formations accounted for the majority of the crude-oil production. Large increases in gas production came from northern fields producing from reservoirs in Devonian formations. Eighty-five per cent of the Province's crude-oil production came from the Boundary Lake, Peejay, Milligan Creek, Inga, and Weasel fields. The major gas fields are Clarke Lake, Yoyo, Laprise, Nig Creek, Jedney, and Rigel. Exploration activities, as measured by the amount of seismic work and exploration drilling done, were down during the year. Development drilling was only slightly less than in 1968, but the total footage drilled, including exploration, declined by 19 per cent. The number of wells completed decreased by 9 per cent and no significant discoveries were made. No major changes were made to pipe-fine and marketing installations. Net cash expenditures by the petroleum industry in 1969 follow:— Exploration, including land acquisition and drilling $57,599,000 Development drilling 11,241,000 Capital expenditures 9,702,000 Natural-gas plants operations 3,735,000 Field, well, and pipe-line operations 9,785,000 General (excluding income tax) 17,688,000 Total $109,750,000 Statistics CHAPTER II INTRODUCTION The statistics of the mineral industry are collected, compiled, and tabulated for this Report by the Economics and Statistics Branch, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce, Victoria. In the interests of uniformity and to avoid duplication of effort, beginning with the statistics for 1925, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the various Provincial departments have co-operated in the collecting and processing of mineral statistics. Producers of metals, industrial minerals, structural materials, coal, and petroleum and natural gas are requested to submit returns in duplicate on forms prepared for use by the Province and by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. As far as possible, both organizations follow the same practice in processing the data. The final compilation by the Dominion Bureau is usually published considerably later than the Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources for British Columbia. Differences between the values of production published by the two organizations arise mainly because the Dominion Bureau uses average prices for metals considered applicable to the total Canadian production, whereas the British Columbia mining statistician uses prices considered applicable to British Columbia production. This method of pricing with respect to copper results in the Dominion Bureau of Statistic's value of copper production being considerably less than the amount recorded in this report. Peat, included under the classification of fuel by the Dominion Bureau, is not regarded as a mineral or fuel, and accordingly is not included in the British Columbia statistics of mineral production. METHOD OF COMPUTING PRODUCTION The tabulated statistics are arranged so as to facilitate comparison of the production records for the various mining divisions, and from year to year. From time to time, revisions have been made to figures published in earlier reports as additional data became available or errors become known. Data are obtained from the certified returns made by producers of metals, industrial minerals and structural materials, and coal, and are augmented by data obtained from custom smelters. For placer gold, returns from operators are augmented by data obtained from the Royal Canadian Mint. For petroleum, natural gas, and liquid by-products, production figures supplied by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources are compiled from the monthly disposition reports and the Crown royalty statement filed with the Department by the producers. Values are in Canadian funds. Weights are avoirdupois pounds and short tons (2,000 lb.), and troy ounces. Barrels are 35 imperial gallons. Metals Gross and Net Content The gross content of a metal in ore, concentrate, or bullion is the amount of that metal calculated from an assay of the material, and the gross metal contents are A 16 STATISTICS A 17 the sum of individual metal assay contents. The net contents are the gross contents less smelter and refinery losses. In past years there have been different methods used in calculating net contents, particularly in the case of one metal contained in the concentrate of another. The present method was established in 1963 and is outlined in the following table. For example, the net content of silver in copper concentrates is 98 per cent of the gross content, of cadmium in zinc concentrates is 70 per cent of the gross content, etc. Lead Zinc Copper Copper-Nickel Copper Concentrates Concentrates Concentrates Concentrates Matte Per Cent Per Cent Per Cent Per Cent Per Cent Silver 98 98 98 98 Copper - Less 26 lb./ton Less 10 lb./ton 85 Less 10 lb./ton Lead __ 98 50 50 50 Zinc 50 90 Cadmium — 70 70 Nickel — 88 __ Calculated Value Prior to 1925 the value of gold and copper produced was calculated by using their true average prices and, in addition, for copper the smelter loss was taken into account. The value of other metals was calculated from the gross metal content of ores or concentrates by using a metal price which was an arbitrary percentage of the average price, as follows: Silver, 95 per cent; lead, 90 per cent; and zinc, 85 per cent. It is these percentages of the average price that are listed in the table on page A 26. For 1925 and subsequent years the value has been calculated by using the true average price (see p. A 26) and the net metal contents, in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. In the statistical tables, for gold the values are calculated by multiplying the gross contents of gold by the average price for the year; for the other principal metals, by multiplying the net contents of metals as determined by means of the above table by the average price for the year. Iron concentrate exported to Japan is valued at the price received by the shippers. The value per ton of the iron ore used in making pig iron at Kimberley is an arbitrary figure, being the average of several ores of comparable grade at their points of export from British Columbia. The value of molybdenum is the amount received by the shippers. The metals, bismuth, tin, mercury, and indium, are valued on the basis of the price received by the shippers, and the value of antimony is the net content multiplied by the average price for the year. Average Prices The prices used in the valuation of current and past metal production are shown in the table on page A 26. The price of gold used is the average Canadian Mint buying-price for fine gold. In 1969 this was $37.69 per ounce. The price used for placer gold was originally established arbitrarily at $17 per ounce, when the price of fine gold was $20.67 per ounce. Between 1931 and A 18 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 1962 the price was proportionately increased with the continuously changing price of fine gold. Since 1962, Canadian Mint reports giving the fine-gold content have been available for all but a very small part of the placer gold produced, and the average price listed is derived by dividing ounces of placer gold into total amount received. Prior to 1949 the prices used for silver, copper, lead, and zinc were the average prices of the markets indicated in the table on page A 26, converted into Canadian funds. The abbreviations in the table are Mont.=Montreal; N.Y.=New York; Lond.=London; E. St. L.=East St. Louis; and U.S.=United States. Latterly the prices of the principal metals, silver, copper, lead, and zinc are average United States prices converted into Canadian funds. Average monthly prices are supplied by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics from figures published in the Metal Markets section of the Engineering and Mining Journal. Specifically, for silver it is the New York price; for lead it is the New York price; for zinc it is the price at East St. Louis of Prime Western; for copper it is the United States export refinery price; and for cadmium the New York producer's price to consumer. For nickel the price used is the Canadian price as set by the International Nickel Company of Canada Ltd. Industrial Minerals and Structural Materials The values for industrial minerals and structural materials approximate the amounts received at the point of origin. Fuel The price per ton used in valuing coal (see p. A 26) is the weighted average of the f.o.b. prices at the mine for the coal sold. The values for natural gas, natural-gas liquid by-products, and for petroleum including condensate/pentanes plus are the amounts received for the products at the well-head. NOTES ON PRODUCTS LISTED IN THE TABLES Antimony.—Antimony metal was produced at the Trail smelter from 1939 to 1944; since 1944 it has been marketed alloyed with lead. The antimony is a by-product from silver-lead ores. In 1907 the first recorded antimonial ore mined in British Columbia was shipped from the Slocan area to England. Since then other out-of-Province shipments have originated in the Bridge River, North Lardeau, Slocan, Spillimacheen, and Stuart Lake areas. In Table 7c the antimony assigned to individual mining divisions is the reported content of ores exported to foreign smelters; the antimony "not assigned " is that recovered at the Trail smelter from various ores received there. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c. Arsenious Oxide.—Arsenious oxide was recovered at foreign smelters from arsenical gold ores from Hedley between 1917 and 1931, and in 1942 and from the Victoria property on Rocher Deboule Mountain in 1928. No production has been recorded since 1942. See Tables 1 and 7d. Asbestos.—British Columbia has produced asbestos since 1952 when the Cassiar mine, the sole producer to date, was opened. From 1953 to 1961 the fibre was valued at the shipping point in North Vancouver, but beginning in 1962 it has been valued at the mine, and values for the preceding years have been recalculated on that basis. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. STATISTICS A 19 Barite.—Barite production began in 1940 and has been continuous since then, coming from several operations in the upper Columbia River valley. Some barite is mined from lode deposits and the rest is recovered from the mill-tailings ponds of the former Silver Giant and Mineral King silver-lead-zinc mines. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d. Bentonite.—Small amounts of bentonite were produced between 1926 and 1944 from deposits in the coal measures near Princeton. There has been no production since 1944. See Tables 1 and 7d. Bismuth.—Since 1929 the Trail smelter has produced bismuth. It is a byproduct of lead refining and thus the production cannot be assigned to specific properties or mining divisions. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c. Brick.—See Clay and Shale products. Butane.—Butane is recovered as a by-product at the gas-processing plant at Taylor and at oil refineries. See Tables 1,3, and 7a. Cadmium.—Cadmium has been recovered as a by-product at the Trail zinc refinery since 1928. It occurs in variable amounts in the sphalerite of most British Columbia silver-lead-zinc ores. In Table 7c the cadmium assigned to individual mining divisions is the reported content of custom shipments to the Trail and foreign smelters; that " not assigned " is the remainder of the reported estimated recovery at the Trail smelter from British Columbia concentrates. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c. Cement.—Cement is manufactured from carefully proportioned mixtures of limestone, gypsum, and other mineral materials. It has been produced in British Columbia since 1905. Present producers are Ocean Cement Limited, with a 4.8- million-barrel-per-year plant at Bamberton, and Canada Cement Lafarge Ltd. with a 3.5-million-barrel-per-year plant on Lulu Island and a 1.2-million-barrel-per-year plant at Kamloops. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e. Clay and Shale Products.—These include brick, blocks, tile, pipe, pottery, lightweight aggregate, and pozzolan manufactured from British Columbia clays and shales. Common red-burning clays and shales are widespread in the Province, but better grade clays are rare. The first recorded production was of bricks at Craig- flower in 1853. Since then plants have operated in most towns and cities for short periods, but today clayware production is restricted to plants in Vancouver, Haney, Abbotsford, and Kilgard. On Saturna Island, shale is used to make light-weight aggregate and pozzolan clinker and at Quesnel burnt shale is made into pozzolan. Several hobby and art potteries and a sanitaryware plant are in operation also, but these use mainly imported raw materials and their production is not included in the tables. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e. Chromite.—Two shipments of chromite are on record, 670 tons from Cascade in 1918 and 126 tons from Scottie Creek in 1929. See Tables 1 and 7c. Coal.—Coal was discovered at Suquash on Vancouver Island in 1835, at Nanaimo in 1850, and later at numerous other places in British Columbia. First production, by Mining Divisions: Cariboo, 1942; Fort Steele, 1898; Kamloops, 1893; Liard, 1923; Nanaimo, 1836; Nicola, 1907; Omineca, 1918; Osoyoos, 1926; Similkameen, 1909; and Skeena, 1912. The Nanaimo and Comox fields produced virtually all of the coal until the opening up of the Crowsnest field in 1898. The closing of the last large mine at Tsable River in 1966, and of the last small one, near Wellington in 1968, marked the end of production from the once important Vancouver Island deposits. The enormous requirements for coking-coal in Japan created great activity in coal prospecting in various areas of British Columbia during 1969. The signing of large contracts with the Japanese resulted in preparations for A 20 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 production at several deposits in the East Kootenays. First shipments to Japan via special port facilities at North Vancouver and Roberts Bank began in 1970. All the coal produced, including that used in making coke, is shown as primary mine production. Quantity from 1836 to 1909 is gross mine output and includes material lost in picking and washing. From 1910 the quantity is the amount sold and used, which includes sales to retail and wholesale dealers, industrial users, and company employees; coal used under company boilers, including steam locomotives; and coal used in making coke. See Tables 1, 3, 7a, 8a, and 8b. Cobalt.—In 1928 a recovery of 1,730 pounds of cobalt was made from a shipment of arsenical gold ore from the Victoria mine on Rocher Deboule Mountain. See Tables 1 and 7c. Coke.—Coke is made from special types of coal. It has been produced in British Columbia since 1895. Being a manufactured product, its value does not contribute to the total mineral production as shown in Table 1. Up to 1966, coke statistics had been included in the Annual Report as Table 9, but this table has been discontinued. The coal used in making coke is still recorded in Table 8b. Coke statistics are available on request from the Economics and Statistics Branch, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce, Victoria. Copper.—Copper production started in 1894. Ore was smelted in British Columbia first in 1896 at Nelson (from Silver King mine) and at Trail (from Rossland mines), and four and five years later at Grand Forks (from Phoenix mine) and Greenwood (from Mother Lode mine). Later, small smelters were built in the Boundary district and on Vancouver and Texada Islands, and in 1914 the Anyox smelter was blown in. Copper smelting ceased in the Boundary district in 1919, at Trail in 1929, and at Anyox in 1935. British Columbia copper ore was then smelted mainly at Tacoma, and since 1961 has gone chiefly to Japan. Most of the production has come from southern British Columbia—from Britannia, Copper Mountain, Greenwood, Highland Valley, Merritt, Nelson, Rossland, Texada Island, and Vancouver Island, although a sizeable amount came from Anyox and some came from Tulsequah. During recent years exploration for copper has been intense, interest being especially keen in very large, low-grade deposits suitable for open-pit mining. This activity has resulted in the establishment of operating mines at Merritt (Craigmont) in 1961, in Highland Valley (Bethlehem) in 1962, on Babine Lake (Granisle) in 1966, and near Peachland (Brenda) in 1970. Large mines near Port Hardy (Island Copper) and Stewart (Granduc) are nearing the production stage; the Lornex and Valley Copper properties in Highland Valley are in the advanced planning stage; and more prospects are under study in Highland Valley, the Stikine region, and other areas. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b. Crude Oil.—Production of crude oil in British Columbia began in 1955 from the Fort St. John field, but was not significant until late in 1961 (see Fig. 34), when the 12-inch oil pipe-line was built to connect the oil-gathering terminal at Taylor to the Trans Mountain Oil Pipe Line Company pipe-line near Kamloops. In 1969 oil was produced from 25 separate fields, of which the Boundary Lake, Peejay, Mil- ligan Creek, Inga, and Weasel fields were most productive. In Tables 1, 3, and 7a, quantities given prior to 1962 under "petroleum, crude " are total sales, and from 1962 to 1965 include field and plant condensates listed separately. Full details are given in tables in the Petroleum and Natural Gas chapter of this report. Diatomite.—Small amounts of diatomite have been shipped from Quesnel periodically since 1928. A plant to process the material locally was built in the town in 1969. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d. STATISTICS A 21 Field Condensate.—Field condensate is the liquid hydrocarbons separated and recovered from natural gas in the field before gas processing. See Tables 1,3, and 7a. Fluorite (Fluorspar).—Between 1918 and 1929, fluorite was mined at the Rock Candy mine north of Grand Forks for use in the Trail lead refinery. From 1958 to 1968, small quantities were produced as a by-product at the Oliver silica quarry. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. Flux.—Silica and limestone are added to smelter furnaces as flux to combine with impurities in the ore and form a slag which separates from the valuable metal. In the past, silica from Grand Forks, Oliver, and the Sheep Creek area was shipped, but today only limestone, chiefly from Texada Island, is produced for flux. Quantities have been recorded since 1911. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. Gold, Lode.—Gold has played an important part in mining in the Province. The first discovery of lode gold was made on Moresby Island in 1852, and the first stamp mill, to treat gold-bearing quartz, was built in the Cariboo in 1876. The principal gold-mining camps in order of production have been Bridge River, Rossland, Portland Canal, Hedley, Wells, and Sheep Creek. At the present time the only major producing gold mine is the Bralorne mine in the Bridge River area. Currently more than half the gold is produced as a by-product from copper, copper-zinc-silver, and other base-metal mining. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b. Gold, Placer.—The early explorations and settlement of the Province followed rapidly on the discovery of gold-bearing placer creeks throughout the country. The first placer miners came in 1858 to mine the lower Fraser River bars upstream from Yale. Important placers were found in the Cariboo, Cassiar, Omineca, and Princeton areas, and at Atlin, Cedar Creek, Fort Steele, Goldstream, Rock Creek, Squaw Creek, and many other places. Since World War II, placer-mining has been declining steadily. A substantial part of the production, including much of the gold recovered from the Fraser River upstream from Yale (in the present New Westminster, Kamloops, and Lillooet Mining Divisions) and much of the early Cariboo production, was mined before the original organization of the Department of Mines in 1874. Consequently, the amounts recorded are based on early estimates and cannot be accurately assigned to individual mining divisions. The first year of production for major placer-producing mining divisions was: Atlin, 1898; Cariboo, 1859; Liard, 1873; Lillooet, 1858; Omineca, 1869. In 1965, changes were made in the allocation of placer gold to the New Westminster and Similkameen Mining Divisions and " not assigned," to reconcile those figures with data incorporated in Bulletin No. 28, Placer Gold Production of British Columbia. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7a. Granules.—Rock chips used for bird grits, exposed aggregate, roofing, stucco dash, terrazzo, etc., have been produced in constantly increasing quantities since 1930. Plants operate in Burnaby, near Hope, at Monte Creek, Sirdar, Vananda, and Vernon. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. Gypsum and Gypsite.—Production of gypsum and gypsite has been recorded since 1911. Between 1925 and 1956 more than 1,000,000 tons was shipped from Falkland and some was quarried near Cranbrook and Windermere. Since 1956 all production has come from Windermere. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. Hydromagnesite.—Small shipments of hydromagnesite were made from Atlin between 1904 and 1916 and from Clinton in 1921. See Tables 1 and 7d. Indium.—Production of indium as a by-product of zinc-refining at the Trail smelter began in 1942. Production figures have not been disclosed since 1958. A 22 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 Iron Concentrates.—Iron ore was produced in small quantities as early as 1885. Sustained production began in 1951 with shipments of concentrated magnetite ore to Japan. The ore has been mined mainly from magnetite and copper-bearing magnetite deposits on Vancouver Island, Texada Island, and Morseby Island. Since 1961, calcined iron sulphide from the tailings of the Sullivan mine has been used for making pig iron at Kimberley. The entire production, credited to the Fort Steele Mining Division in Table 7c, is of calcine. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7c. Iron Oxide.—Iron oxide, ochre, and bog iron were mined as early as 1918 from several occurrences, but mainly from limonite deposits north of Squamish. None has been produced since 1950. See Tables 1 and 7d. Jade (Nephrite).—Production of jade (nephrite) has been recorded only since 1959 despite there being several years of significant production prior to that date. The jade is recovered from a few bedrock occurrences and as alluvial boulders from the Fraser River; the Bridge River and its tributaries, Marshall, Hell, and Cad- wallader Creeks; O'Ne-ell, Ogden, Kwanika, and Wheaton Creeks; and Dease Lake. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d. Lead.—Lead was first produced in British Columbia in 1887. Almost all has come from the southeastern part of the Province, where the Sullivan mine has produced about 85 per cent of the Provincial total. Other important mines are at Salmo, Pend d'Oreille River, and North Kootenay Lake. In 1958, revisions were made in some yearly totals for lead to adjust them for recovery of lead from slag treated at the Trail smelter. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b. Limestone.—Besides being used for flux and granules (where it is recorded separately), limestone is used in agriculture, cement manufacture, the pulp and paper industry, and for making lime. It has been produced since 1886. Quarries now operate at Cobble Hill, near Prince George, and on the north end of Texada Island. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e. Magnesium.—In 1941 and 1942, Cominco Ltd. produced magnesium from magnesite mined from a large deposit at Marysville. See Tables 1 and 7c. Magnesium Sulphate.—Magnesium sulphate was recovered in minor amounts at various times between 1915 and 1942 from small alkali lakes near Basque, Clinton, and Osoyoos. See Tables 1 and 7d. Manganese.—In 1918-20 manganese ore was shipped from a bog deposit near Kaslo and from Hill 60 near Cowichan Lake, and in 1956 a test shipment was made from Olalla. See Tables 1 and 7c. Mercury.—Mercury was first produced near Savona in 1895. Since then small amounts have been recovered from the same area and from the Bridge River district. The main production to date was between 1940-44 from the Pinchi Lake and Takla mines near Fort St. James. In 1968 the Pinchi Lake mine reopened and continues in full operation. The Silverquick mine in Bridge River region is expected to recommence production in 1970. See Tables 1 and 7c. Mica.—No sheet mica has been produced commercially in British Columbia. Between 1932-61 small amounts of mica schist for grinding were mined near Albreda, Armstrong, Oliver, Prince Rupert, and Sicamous. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d. Molybdenum.—Molybdenum ore in small amounts was produced from high- grade deposits between 1914 and 1918. More recently, mining of large low-grade molybdenum and copper-molybdenum deposits has increased production to the point that molybdenum now ranks third in importance in annual value of metals produced in British Columbia. The upswing began when Bethlehem Copper mine recovered by-product molybdenum in 1964 to 1966. In 1965, Endako and Boss Mountain mine, followed by the Coxey in 1966, and British Columbia Molybdenum STATISTICS A 23 in 1967, all began operations as straight molybdenum producers. In 1970, Brenda mine, a combination copper-molybdenum producer, started operating. Other large- scale combined metal deposits are in advanced stages of planning. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7c. Natro-alunite.—In 1912 and 1913, 400 tons of natro-alunite was mined from a small low-grade deposit at Kyuquot Sound. There has been no subsequent production. See Tables 1 and 7d. Natural Gas.—Commercial production of natural gas began in 1954 to supply the community of Fort St. John. Since the completion in 1957 of the gas plant at Taylor and the 30-inch pipe-line to serve British Columbia and the northwestern United States, the daily average volume of production has increased to more than 800,000,000 cubic feet (see Table 26). In 1969 there were 32 producing gas fields (see Table 25). The production shown in Tables 1, 3, and 7a is the total amount sold of residual gas from processing plants plus dry and associated gas from the gas- gathering system; that is, the quantity delivered to the main transmission-line. The quantity is net after deducting gas used on leases, metering difference, and gas used or lost in the cleaning plant. The quantity is reported as thousands of cubic feet at standard conditions (14.4 pounds per square inch pressure, 60° F. temperature, up to and including the year 1960, and thereafter 14.65 pounds per square inch pressure, 60° F. temperature). Full details of gross well output, other production, delivery, and sales are given in tables in the Petroleum and Natural Gas chapter of this report. Nickel.—One mine, the Pride of Emory near Hope, shipped nickel ore in 1936 and 1937 and began continuous production in 1958. Since 1960, bulk copper- nickel concentrates have been shipped to Japan for smelting. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c. Palladium.—Palladium was recovered in 1928, 1929, and 1930 as a byproduct of the Trail refinery and is presumed to have originated in copper concentrates shipped to the smelter from the Copper Mountain mine. See Tables 1 and 7c. Perlite.—In 1953 a test shipment of 1,112 tons was made from a quarry on Francois Lake. There has been no further production. See Tables 1 and 7d. Petroleum, Crude.—See Crude Oil. Phosphate Rock.—Between 1927 and 1933, Cominco Ltd. produced 3,842 tons of phosphate rock for test purposes, but the grade proved to be too low for commercial use. More test shipments were made in 1964 but there has been no commercial production. See Tables 1 and 7d. Plant Condensate.—Plant condensate is the hydrocarbon liquid extracted from natural gas at gas-processing plants. See Tables 1,3, and 7a. Platinum.—Platinum has been produced intermittently from placer streams in small amounts since 1887, mostly from the Tulameen and Similkameen Rivers. Placer platinum also has been recovered from Pine, Thibert, McConnell, Rainbow, Tranquille, Rock, and Government Creeks; from Quesnel, Fraser, Cottonwood, Peace, and Coquihalla Rivers; and from beach placers on Graham Island. Some platinum recovered between 1928 and 1930 as a by-product of the Trail refinery is presumed to have originated in copper concentrates shipped to the smelter from the Copper Mountain mine. See Tables 1,3, and 7c. Propane.—Propane is recovered from gas-processing plants at Taylor and Boundary Lake, and at oil refineries. See Tables 1,3, and 7a. A 24 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 Rock.—Production of rubble, riprap, and crushed rock has been recorded since 1909. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e. Sand and Gravel.—Sand and gravel are used as aggregate in concrete work of all kinds. The output varies from year to year according to the state of activity of the construction industry. See Tables 1,3, and 7e. Selenium.—The only recorded production of selenium, 731 pounds, was in 1931 from the refining of blister copper from the Anyox smelter. See Tables 1 and 7c. Silver.—Production of silver began in 1887 from silver-copper and silver-lead ores in the Kootenays and has continued in this area to the present. Now, most of the silver is a by-product of lead-zinc ores and nearly all is refined at Trail, although some is exported with concentrates to American and Japanese smelters, or may go to the Mint in gold bullion. Today the greatest single source of silver is the Sullivan mine, which has recorded production since 1900. The only steady producer that is strictly a silver mine is the Highland Bell at Beaverdell, in operation since 1922. A former important mine, the Premier near Stewart, produced more than 41,000,000 ounces of silver between 1918 and 1968. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b. Sodium Carbonate.—Sodium carbonate was recovered between 1921 and 1949 from alkali lakes in the Clinton area and around Kamloops. There has been no further production. See Tables 1 and 7d. Stone.—Cut stone for building purposes is prepared from rock produced at quarries in various parts of the Province when required. Two of the most productive quarries have operated on Haddington and Nelson Islands. See Tables 1, 3, and 7e. Structural Materials.—In Table 7e the value of $5,972,171 for unclassified materials is the total for structural materials in the period 1886-1919 that cannot be allotted to particular classes of structural materials or assigned to mining divisions, and includes $726,323 shown against 1896 in Table 2 that includes unclassified structural materials in that and previous years not assignable to particular years. The figure $3,180,828 in Table 7e under " Other Clay Products " is the value in the period 1886-1910 that cannot be allotted to particular clay products or assigned to mining divisions. See Tables 1, 2, 3, 7a, and 7e. Sulphur.—The production of sulphur has been recorded since 1916. From 1916 to 1927 the amounts include the sulphur content of pyrite shipped. From 1928 the amounts include the estimated sulphur content of pyrite shipped, plus the sulphur contained in sulphuric acid made from waste smelter gases. The sulphur content of pyrrhotite roasted at the Kimberley fertilizer plant is included since 1953. Since 1958, elemental sulphur recovered from the Jefferson Lake Petrochemical Co. plant at Taylor has been included. See Tables 1,3, and 7d. Talc.—Between 1916 and 1936, talc was quarried at Leech River and at Anderson Lake for dusting asphalt roofing. There has been no production since 1936. See Tables 1, 3, and 7d. Tin.—Tin, as cassiterite, is a by-product of the Sullivan mine, where it has been produced since 1941. The tin concentrate is shipped to an American smelter for treatment. See Tables 1,3, and 7c. Tungsten.—Tungsten, very largely as scheelite concentrates, was produced from 1937 to 1958, first from the Cariboo in 1937 and during World War II from the Red Rose mine near Hazelton and the Emerald mine near Salmo. The Red Rose closed in 1954 and the Emerald in 1958. STATISTICS A 25 A very small amount of wolframite came from Boulder Creek near Atlin. See Tables 1, 3, and 7c. Volcanic Ash.—The only recorded production of volcanic ash is 30 tons from the Cariboo Mining Division in 1954. See Tables 1 and 7d. Zinc.—Zinc was first produced in 1905. Currently the total value of all zinc production is greater than that of any of the other metals, lead being in second place. By far the greatest amount of zinc has been mined in southeastern British Columbia, at the Sullivan mine, and at mines near Ainsworth, Invermere, Moyie Lake, Riondel, Salmo, Slocan, and Spillimacheen. Other production has come from mines at Portland Canal and Tulsequah and is coming from Britannia and Buttle Lake. The greatest zinc mine is the Sullivan, which has contributed about 75 per cent of the total zinc production of the Province. Records for the period 1905 to 1908 show shipments totalling 18,845 tons of zinc ore and zinc concentrates of unstated zinc content. In 1958, revisions were made to some yearly totals for zinc to adjust them for recovery of zinc from slag treated at the Trail smelter. See Tables 1, 3, 6, and 7b.

Prior to 1962 lode-mining referred only to gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc. Prior to 1964 some expenditures for fuel and electricity were included with process supplies. Process supplies (except fuel) were broadened in 1964 to include " process, operating, maintenance, and repair supplies . . . used in the mine/mill operations; that is, explosives, chemicals, drill steel, bits, lubricants, electrical, etc. . . . not charged to Fixed Assets Account . . . provisions and supplies sold in any company operated cafeteria or commissary." Exploration and development other than in the field of petroleum and natural gas is given, starting in 1966.

ADMINISTRATION BRANCH The Administration Branch, consisting of three divisions, Mining Titles, Petroleum and Natural Gas Titles, and Accounts, is responsible for the administration of the Provincial laws regarding the acquisition of rights to minerals, coal, petroleum, and natural gas, and deals with other departments of the Provincial service for the Department or for any branch. Mining Titles Staff R. H. McCrimmon Chief Gold Commissioner E. J. Bowles Deputy Chief Gold Commissioner J. G. B. Egdell Gold Commissioner, Vancouver Gold Commissioners, Mining Recorders, and Sub-Mining Recorders, whose duties are laid down in the Mineral Act and Placer-mining Act, administer these Acts and other Acts relating to mining. Mining Recorders, in addition to their own functions, may also exercise the powers conferred upon Gold Commissioners with regard to mineral claims within the mining division for which they have been appointed. Similar duties may be performed by Mining Recorders with regard to placer claims, but not in respect of placer-mining leases. Recording of location and of work upon a mineral claim as required by the Mineral Act and upon a placer claim or a placer-mining lease as required by the Placer-mining Act must be made at the office of the Mining Recorder for the mining division in which the claim or lease is located. Information concerning claims and leases and concerning the ownership and standing of claims and leases in any mining division may be obtained from the Mining Recorder for the mining division in which the property is situated or from the Department's offices at Victoria, and Room 320, 890 West Pender Street, Vancouver 1. Officials in the offices of the Gold Commissioner at Victoria and the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver act as Sub-Mining Recorders for all mining divisions. Sub-Mining Recorders, who act as forwarding agents, are appointed at various places throughout the Province. They are authorized to accept documents and fees, and forward them to the office of the Mining Recorder for the correct mining division. Officials and their offices in various parts of the Province are listed on page A 59. Central Records Offices ( Victoria and Vancouver) Transcripts of all recordings in Mining Recorders' offices throughout the Province are sent to the office of the Chief Gold Commissioner in Victoria twice each month, and include the names of lessees of reverted surveyed mineral claims. These records and maps showing the approximate positions of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases may be consulted by the public during office hours at Victoria and at the office of the Gold Commissioner at Vancouver, Room 320, 890 West Pender Street. The approximate position of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases is plotted from details supplied by locators. During 1969, twenty-one investigations were carried out pursuant to section 80 of the Mineral Act. Six investigations with regard to certificates of work being A 57 DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 59 wrongfully or improperly obtained resulted in 49 certificates of work being cancelled. Fifteen investigations with regard to mineral claims having been located or recorded otherwise than in accordance with the Mineral Act resulted in 182 mineral claims being cancelled.

Maps Showing Mineral Claims, Placer Claims, Placer-mining Leases, and Map Indexes From the details supplied by the locators, the approximate positions of mineral claims held by record and of placer-mining leases are shown on mineral reference maps which may be inspected in the central records offices of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources in Victoria and Vancouver. Copies of these maps may be obtained on request made to the Chief Gold Commissioner, Victoria (price, $1.25 per print). The boundaries of surveyed claims and leases are shown on the reference maps and other maps of the British Columbia Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources. Indexes to their published maps, reference maps, and manuscript maps as well as indexes to air photographic cover are available through the Director, Surveys and Mapping Branch, British Columbia Lands Service, Victoria. Coal Information concerning the ownership and standing of coal licences and coal leases may be obtained upon application to the Chief Gold Commissioner, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Victoria. Maps showing location of coal licences and coal leases are also available upon application and payment of the required fee. Licences Coal Revenue, 1969 Fees $14,798.00 Rental 63,807.90 Total $78,605.90 During 1969, 381 coal licences were issued, totalling 226,514 acres. As of December 31, 1969, a total of 760 coal licences, amounting to 422,178 acres, were held in good standing.

W. Metcalfe _ N. G. Colvin R. J. Hibberson R. S. Young F. F. Karpick Staff -Chief Analyst and Assayer Analyst -Analyst -Analyst Assayer Samples A reasonable number of samples are assayed without charge for a prospector who makes application for free assays and who satisfies the Chief Analyst that prospecting is his principal occupation during the summer months. A form for use in applying for free assays may be obtained from the office of any Mining Recorder. During 1969 the chemical laboratory in Victoria issued reports on 2,437 samples from prospectors and Departmental engineers. A laboratory examination of a prospector's sample generally consists of the following: (1) A spectrographic analysis to determine if any base metals are present in interesting percentages; (2) assays for precious metals and for base metals shown by the spectrographic analysis to be present in interesting percentages. The degree of radioactivity is measured on all samples submitted by prospectors and Departmental engineers; these radiometric assays are not listed in the table below. The laboratory reports were distributed in the following manner among prospectors who were not grantees, prospectors who were grantees under the Prospector's Grub-stake Act, and Departmental engineers:— Samples Spectrographic Analyses Assays Prospectors (not grantees).. Prospectors (grantees) Departmental engineers Totals 2,032 140 265 1,974 137 92 5,246 387 1,060 2,437 2,2031 5,793 1 An additional 156 spectrographic analyses were done for prospectors and Departmental engineers, but the results were not reported. Samples submitted to the laboratory for identification are examined by the Mineralogical Branch of the Department. During the year, 65 such samples were examined. Reports were issued on 25 samples submitted by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch. Fifteen of these were samples of formation waters from wells being drilled for gas and oil in the Province, and four were crude-oil samples of the same DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 63 origin. In addition, five samples of material from two suspected oil seeps were examined, and oily black particles were examined and found to contain metallic lead. Reports were issued on 205 samples of a miscellaneous nature. For the Purchasing Commission, reports were issued on 21 samples of coal submitted for proximate analysis and calorific value. Three samples of detergents were examined for their content of phosphorous pentoxide. For the Department of Recreation and Conservation, Fish and Wildlife Branch, 11 water samples were examined for their trace metal contents. For the Department of Agriculture, Field Crops Branch, 22 potato extracts were examined for their trace-metal contents, one gypsum sample was analysed, and the iron content of a water sample was determined. For the Department of Highways, Materials Testing Branch, nine samples of water were examined. For the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Inspection Branch, one smoke bomb was identified. For the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch, one rosin sample was identified. For the Queen's Printer, one sample of type metal was examined by spectrograph. For the Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources, Forest Protection, two fire-fighting chemicals were analysed for their ammonium sulphate contents, and three others for their diammonium phosphate contents. The pH and hardness of water from 35 lakes were determined. For Engineering Services, the chloride contents of two cement samples was determined. For the Groundwater Division, a drilling slurry and two water samples were examined. For the Water Rights Branch, three water samples were examined, and in addition, another water sample for the Comptroller of Water Rights. For British Columbia Health Services, Pollution Control Branch, one sediment and one water were examined for their iron contents, and 11 other waters were examined for trace metals. For the City of Victoria, Smoke Inspection, determination was made of the weights of residue and soluble salts collected in 63 bottles of water placed in various locations in the city. One scale sample was also identified. For citizens of the Province, four coal samples and three water samples were analysed, and a sample of peat was examined. X-ray Powder Diffraction Analyses One hundred and eleven analyses of this type were performed for identification purposes. Examinations for Assayers Provincial Government examinations for certificates of efficiency were held in May and December. As a result of the May examination, eight candidates passed and eight failed. In the December examination, one candidate was granted a supplemental and nine failed.

Merrett, Chairman. A. R. C. James, member... W. C. Robinson, member. Victoria Victoria .Vancouver The Board conducts written examinations in various mining centres for applicants for underground shiftboss certificates. The Board is also empowered to grant provisional certificates without examination and under such conditions as the Board considers necessary. Grub-staking Prospectors Under the authority of the Prospectors' Grub-stake Act the Department has provided grub-stakes each year since 1943 to a limited number of applicants able to qualify. Grub-stakes up to $500 for food, shelter, and clothing, plus a reasonable travelling allowance, are available to a limited number of qualified prospectors who undertake to prospect in British Columbia in areas considered favourable by the Department in accordance with a long-range plan for the development of the Province. Experienced prospectors may be granted a maximum of $300 for travelling expenses if prospecting is to be done in remote areas where air transportation is necessary.

One grantee was unable to go out, and his initial payment was returned. Grantees who were unable to complete the terms and conditions of the grant received only partial payment. Seven prospectors were given grants for the first time. Four grantees proved to be unsatisfactory. D. H. Rae interviewed applicants in Vancouver and contacted 23 grantees in the field where he gave advice and direction to those who needed it. The following notes comprise Mr. Rae's summaries of the prospecting activities and results. They are based on observations made by him in the field and from information contained in the diaries of the grantees. Alberni Mining Division.—In the Gretchen Creek valley (on the north side of Great Central Lake), spotty copper mineralization with magnetite occurs in volcanic rocks and greenstone. Small rock outcrops containing some chalcopyrite were found on both the north and south sides of View Lake. In the Coleman Creek area (off Alberni Canal), minor mineralization by chalcopyrite and pyrite was investigated. In the Thunder Mountain area, spotty chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization occurs in greenstone and volcanics. Cariboo Mining Division.—In the Pinegrove Creek valley, minor chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization was prospected; in the Heyde Creek area, much overburden was encountered; off the Bowron Lake road, pyritized greenstone was observed; and at the north end of McLeod Lake, deep overburden was reported. A base camp was established at Le Bourdais Lake, about 50 miles northeast of Williams Lake, and eight weeks were spent prospecting and soil sampling in the area within reach of the lake. During the 1968 season a large piece of high-grade chalcopyrite float was found on the lakeshore, but no further material was found and the source of the float was not located. The area northwest of the lake is underlain by black to grey limestone showing some pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization. On the west side, back from the lakeshore, exposures of grey limestone and green andesite were found, and along the lakeshore the outcrops were mainly limestone, andesite, and pyritized argillite, with some chert, greenstone, and schist, along with some basic rocks. A short distance back from the lakeshore very few outcrops were found. Nothing of importance was found in the entire area. Some work was done in the Francis Lake area, southeast of Prince George; on the north side of the lake outcrops of pegmatite were prospected; on the northwest side more outcrops of pegmatite occur, along with monzonite and some small gossans; some inconclusive soil sampling was done in this area. On the southwest side some minor mineralization in the granite intrusive was observed, and a contact zone between granite and altered sediments shows traces of copper mineralization; on the south side of the lake the contact zone shows some barren quartz veins. On Government Creek, quartz-monzonite float shows minor molybdenite mineralization; some work was also done in the Willow River area. In the Nechako valley near Prince George several gossans and minor occurrences of diatomite were investigated. Up Dome Creek, various rock outcrops were examined, but nothing of interest was found. In the Baldy Hughes area very few outcrops were found; 6 miles east of Baldy Hughes road construction had exposed volcanic rocks. Near Tacheeda Lake and in the Tacheeda Creek valley, quartz stringers were found in sedimentary rock; at Teapot Mountain, outcrops of fine-grained andesite were reported. Some granite outcrops were found in the Saxton Lake area. In the Ptarmigan Creek valley, float containing both chalcopyrite and malachite was picked up, but the source of the float was not located. In the Sugarbowl Mountain area, minor mineralization was observed in outcrops of sandstone, and some inconclusive testing of creek water was done. South of Nazul Lake, serpentinized peridotite was found. A 68 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 Clinton Mining Division.—Some work was done in the Leon Creek area where outcrops of quartzite, dolomite, and marble occur. Near Kelly Lake, malachite stain and narrow pyritized quartz stringers were found associated with two granite contacts. Outcrops of serpentine, basalt, and volcanic ash were also seen. Fort Steele Mining Division.—In the Ezekiel Creek valley, granite outcrops show some barren-looking quartz veins; pyritized outcrops of slate were examined in a creek bed; and some minor occurrences of chalcopyrite were reported. Golden Mining Division.—In the Whitetail Lake area some occurrences of gypsum were prospected. Considerable time was spent in the wide Dutch Creek valley checking outcrops and soil sampling. This work covered both the Copper Creek valley and the Rock Creek valley. Up Mineral Creek, widespread but narrow occurrences of barite were investigated. Very little useful information on these areas was submitted. Kamloops Mining Division.—Some work was done on the east side of Adams Lake, opposite Skwaam Bay, and a group of claims was staked. Liard Mining Division.—A base camp was established on the west side of Dease Lake, about a mile south of Porter Landing, and considerable work was done in the area west, southwest, and northwest of the camp. Close to the lake there were some rock outcrops, but the overburden was deep and covered a wide area. In the Thibert Creek valley, minor traces of copper and iron sulphides were found; some barren- looking quartz float was picked up, and granitic outcrops were examined. Near Delure Creek, traces of sulphide mineralization were observed and outcrops of slate were examined. On the east side of Delure Creek, exposures of granite, serpentine, and greenstone with quartz stringers were prospected. Nothing of importance was reported in this area. South of the camp, halfway down the lakeshore, numerous rock outcrops were examined and small amounts of pyrrhotite were found. On the east side of Dease Lake, much overburden and heavy undergrowth are present. Outcrops of sedimentary rocks and serpentine were examined. One prospector, Walter Walcow, died of a heart attack in Cassiar hospital after doing some heavy work in preparing to cross Dease Lake to his prospecting area. In spite of this his partner took over and carried on the projected work. Lillooet Mining Division.—Some work was done on the north side of the Yala- kom River where pyritized rock outcrops were sampled. In the Marshall Creek area some minor copper mineralization was reported. In the Cayoosh Creek valley along a forestry access road considerable pyrite and pyrrhotite were found in silicified schist; some fairly good values in gold were found in this material. Nanaimo Mining Division.—In the Buttle Lake area close to the edge of Strathcona Park some copper stain was found in a rock cut along the road, and outcrops of basalt show minor amounts of native copper. At the top of the ridge above the rock cut, two fine-grained dykes cut through the underlying basalt; both dykes showed some native copper and copper sulphides but assays of samples taken were very low. At the south end of Quinsam Lake the diorite bluffs show minor magnetite, chalcopyrite, and malachite mineralization. Volcanic rocks are exposed along a fault zone and show narrow stringers of magnetite. Outcrops of basalt in this area also show some chalcopyrite in narrow quartz stringers. Some exposures of crystalline limestone were also examined. On Mount Arrowsmith, claims were staked to cover an area showing strong copper mineralization. In the Salmon River area, wide outcrops of limestone were carefully sampled. In the Holberg Inlet area, a base camp was established on Hushamu Creek on the north side of the inlet, and a considerable amount of line-cutting, soil sampling, DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 69 and surface prospecting and geological investigation was done. The underlying rocks are mainly tuff, various other volcanics, and greywacke along with some Bonanza Group rocks. On the south side of the inlet, outcrops of volcanics show minor chalcopyrite and copper carbonates. Some quartz-feldspar outcrops were examined near Coal Harbour. Heavy undergrowth and deep overburden hampered this work very considerably. Nelson Mining Division.—In the Kloosh Creek valley, slate and shale outcrops were reported along the pyritized argillite showing minor copper mineralization; pyritized quartzite was also examined and some encouraging geochemical anomalies were mapped. Up Cultus Creek, argillite float showing copper mineralization was picked up, and heavily oxidized limy rocks showing specks of chalcopyrite were investigated by trenching, but nothing of importance was uncovered. In the Midge Creek area some prospecting on fissure veins in granodiorite was completed, and trenching was done on an oxidized zone showing considerable quartz and manganese dioxide (pyrolusite) and carrying erratic values in gold. In the Trail Creek area, a small mineralized zone was investigated. Some work was done along Kelly Creek and near Champion Lakes, but nothing was reported. In the Erie Lake area, near Charbonneau Creek and in the Record Creek valley, outcrops of granite and limestone were examined. At Kelly Mountain many outcrops of sedimentary rocks were reported. Sedimentary rocks also underlie much of the Champion Creek area. Nothing was reported from the Marsh Creek valley, although some work was done there. Near Blizzard Mountain a fault zone was prospected. Nothing of interest was seen in the Erie Creek area, but at Dominion Mountain some float containing galena and chalcopyrite was picked up. South of Boundary Lake, a low-grade, mineralized zone was exposed by surface stripping. Along the Priest River, the underlying rocks are mainly limestone, diorite, and schist, and in this area small pockets of galena and chalcopyrite were prospected. Fairly good assays in silver were reported where tetrahedrite was visible in and near a bed of grey limestone. On flat terrain near Lister, open-cutting was done on a series of quartz veins showing patches of heavy iron and copper sulphides. Some fairly good assays were obtained from samples taken of this material. New Westminster Mining Division.—In the Agassiz area, on a high ridge west of the town, limestone bluffs show minor chalcopyrite mineralization in quartz stringers, and rhyolite float picked up here showed specks of molybdenite. On the east side of Bear Mountain a 12-foot width of fine-grained limestone showed some molybdenite and chalcopyrite mineralization. Some work was done in the ChiUiwack River valley where outcrops of limestone, schist, and granite were examined. Some gold colours were found in the gravel beds of two small creeks flowing into this river, and float containing small specks of chalcopyrite was picked up. In the Coquihalla River valley, at Fifteen Mile Creek, copper stain was found along a granite-serpentine contact. A base camp was established at Kwoiek Lake, at the head of Kwoiek Creek, which flows easterly into the Fraser River a few miles north of Boston Bar. Access to the area by way of an old trail up the creek valley was very rough and hazardous and the whole area was found to be a rugged one for prospecting. The underlying rocks are mainly various phases of diorite with lesser amounts of sedimentary rocks and some schist. Some barren quartz stringers were found in the schist. Heavy boulders of barren, rusty quartz were found in the creek bottom. A wide belt of A 70 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 serpentine was examined. It contains some fairly wide quartz veins showing crystals of pyrite and some sericitization. Zones of quartzite and serpentized basic rocks, some fine-grained hornblende diorite, and graphitic phyllite were also reported. Nothing of economic importance was discovered in this area. In the Hicks Creek and Alouette Lake areas, outcrops of pyritized granite were examined. On the west side of Harrison Lake some lead-zinc mineralization in greenstone was reported and 10 mineral claims were staked. The Cartmell Creek area was found to be underlain mainly by greenstone and schist; at Simms Creek iron pyrite was found in limestone. Disseminated copper mineralization was prospected near Weaver Lake. Near Greendrop Lake the underlying granite shows some narrow quartz stringers carrying some galena. A short time was spent up the Siwash Creek valley, on the east side of the Fraser River, where outcrops of schist, serpentine, and pyrox- enite were examined. Omineca Mining Division.—Some work was done in the Lome Creek area. Northwest of Perow, considerable work was done in the valley adjacent to Byman Creek. Float containing chalcopyrite and pyrite was found in an area underlain by andesite and mixed types of volcanic rocks; minor arsenopyrite and limonite mineralization was reported, but nothing of commercial interest was found. At the head of Byman Creek, reddish-coloured andesite, some conglomerate, odd outcrops of porphyry, rhyolite, and other volcanics showing traces of copper mineralization were prospected. Nothing of real interest was examined. A logged-off area, well supplied with logging access roads, and located about 10 miles northwest of Wistaria, was fairly well prospected; exposures of volcanic rocks showing minor pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization were sampled. The assay returns were very low. West of Shelford Hills, narrow quartz stringers in andesitic rocks show some chalcopyrite; outcrops of mixed volcanic rocks and shale were reported, and a large gossan was prospected. Some exposures of basalt were observed. Nothing of economic interest was found in the entire area. Up Tahtsa Reach, some time was spent searching for an area known to contain some copper showings. Soil and rock samples were taken. The underlying rocks were reported to be granite and basalt with quartz stringers. A contact zone showing some mineralization was prospected, and 10 mineral claims were staked covering an area where good copper float had been found. Considerable work was done on a group of claims staked late in 1968 on the north side of Tchentlo Lake, a few miles from the west end of the lake. In fractures in diorite near the contact with the Cache Creek series, sufficient chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization is present to warrant a programme of stripping, drilling, and blasting. The result of this work warrants more intensive exploration in 1970. The mineralization is spread over a wide area, 2,600 feet by 800 feet, and the geochemical work done by one mining company gave good results. On the north side of Chuchi Lake some work was done on rock exposures showing minor mineralization of copper, lead, and zinc. Near Klawli Lake the area is underlain by volcanics and granite showing traces of copper mineralization. On the north side of Tchentlo Lake a short distance up the hill from Gidegingla Lake an extensive mineralized zone was located close to the contact between diorite and Takla volcanics. This zone was opened up by drilling and blasting, and the sampling indicated good values in copper across mining widths. Further work is warranted on these claims. North of the east end of Chuchi Lake a narrow shear zone shows minor copper, lead, and zinc mineralization. South of the river connecting Chuchi and Tchentlo Lakes, outcrops of coarse granodiorite contained minor amounts of disseminated pyrite. Some work was also done east of Klawli River, DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 71 along a contact between Takla volcanics and diorite, where low assays in copper were obtained. On Diamond Island in the Nechako River some old open cuts were examined, but nothing was found. The area close to the Kenny Dam was found to be underlain by volcanic rocks. Near Sinkut Mountain, exposures of serpentinized peridotite were investigated. Some prospecting was done in the McConnell Lakes area. Two mineralized zones showing interesting values in copper were discovered, but no further information is available. Revelstoke Mining Division.—Considerable work was done from a base camp established alongside a logging-mining road about 6 miles south of Ferguson. South of Nettie Lake Mountain, prospecting was done where outcrops of chlorite schist and quartz veins in argillite occurred; some of these veins showed minor amounts of galena. North of Nettie Lake Mountain, the underlying rocks were mainly phyllite, argillite, and quartzite, with minor amounts of limestone. Near Triune Mountain, outcrops of limestone, schist, and quartzite were examined. In the Index Creek area the underlying rock appeared to be phyllite. On Silvercup Mountain, outcrops of phyllite and sericite schist and quartz veins in quartzite were prospected. Along Ferguson Creek some old properties were examined where the principal rocks were peridotite showing some short-fibre but brittle asbestos. A limestone-slate contact was also checked over. Near the old Molly Mac mine, argillaceous limestone was observed. Up Bunker Hill Creek, phyllite, argillite, and limestone were found, and in the Bunker Hill mine area claims were staked on a phyllite-limestone contact. Similkameen Mining Division.—In the Treasure Mountain area, basic rock outcrops were examined; a serpentine belt in the Britton Creek area was prospected; outcrops of schist and argillite were examined in the Lawless Creek valley; and some work was done between lim Kelly and Railroad Creeks, where outcrops of diorite were reported. In the Shawatum Mountain area up Nepopekum Creek, pyritized andesite showing mineralization of pyrite and galena was sampled. Assay returns were very low. Slocan Mining Division.—In the Duncan River area a mineralized zone in limestone was reported, and sheared diorite showed minor mineralization of galena with specks of tetrahedrite. Vancouver Mining Division.—In the Squamish area, on the edge of Garibaldi Park, minor copper mineralization was reported in the underlying volcanics. Vernon Mining Division.—Up Bouleau Creek, a tributary of Whiteman Creek, the rock outcrops were dark-coloured volcanics. At Bouleau Lake, volcanics were reported and a rhyolite-gabbro contact was prospected. Victoria Mining Division.—Near Francis Lake, close to the Nitinat River, some copper float was picked up, but its source was not found. Mining Roads and Trails Provision is made in the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources Act whereby the Minister may, with the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, authorize the expenditure of public funds for the construction or repair of roads and trails into mining areas. Assistance on a half-cost basis may also be provided on roads and trails to individual properties. Requests for road and trail assistance must be made to the Department before the commencement of work. The type of access upon which assistance may be given depends upon the value of the property, the stage of development, and the amount of work to be done. A trail is sometimes sufficient for initial exploration, and a A 72 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 tractor-road may be adequate for preliminary work. Subsequent development might warrant assistance on the construction of a truck-road. A carefully drawn sketch or plan of the location of the road is required to be submitted and, where warranted by the amount of assistance requested, a report on the property by a professional geological or mining engineer may be required. An engineer from the Department may be required to report on the property before a grant is made and to inspect the road after the work has been done. The total mileages and expenditures under " Grants in Aid of Mining Roads and Trails "during the 1969/70 fiscal year were as follows:— Roads— Miles Cost Construction 143 $234,906.25 Maintenance 336 97,984.81 Trails— Maintenance 1.25 500.00 Bridges— Construction 69,389.83 Maintenance 15,500.00 Total $418,280.89 Work was continued on the Stewart-Cassiar road. Construction of this road was initially financed under the " Roads to Resources " agreement between the Governments of Canada and British Columbia. Total expenditure on the road to date is $20,936,968.38. The Federal Government's contribution of $7,500,000 was expended by the end of September, 1967, and since that time the whole cost of construction has been provided by the Provincial Government. The construction is done by contract, and is supervised by the Department of Highways on behalf of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Two major contracts were in progress during 1969—Projects 1391 and 1702. Further road construction was done under Project 1391, covering the 29.08-mile section between Burrage River and Ningunsaw River, contract for which was awarded to Ben Ginter Construction Company in November, 1965, and started the following year. The project was 73 per cent completed by the end of 1969. Project 1702, covering construction of 38.10 miles of road between the south and north Bell- Irving Crossings and clearing and grubbing the North Bell-Irving Crossing and the Ningunsaw River was 60 per cent completed by the end of 1969. There was no major bridge construction in 1969. MINERALOGICAL BRANCH The function of the Mineralogical Branch is to assist in the development and use of the Province's mineral resources by making a variety of geological studies, publishing data concerning mineral occurrences and their potential, by collecting and storing geological and statistical data and making it available to the public, and by recording the activities of the industry. The Branch is capable of supplying general geological information as well as specific information regarding mineral deposits and the mineral industry. It provides rock and mineral identification of specimens submitted by prospectors and others, contributes lectures in courses on prospecting, participates in scientific discussions, and arranges educational exhibits. Field work by officers of the Mineralogical Branch includes areal geological mapping, detailed geological examinations of mineral deposits and mining camps, and examination of properties of current exploration interest. The results of major DEPARTMENTAL WORK A 73 mapping projects are published in a series of bulletins, and shorter reports are published annually in a newly instituted series entitled Geology, Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia. Editing of the Annual Report of the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources, of Geology, Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia, 1969, and other publications is the responsibility of Stuart S. Holland. Copy for printing is prepared by and under the direction of Mrs. Rosalyn J. Moir. gists :- Staff On December 31, 1969, the professional staff included the following geolo- M. S.

He also made property examinations and checked on current exploration work in the Terrace area and Babine region. A 74 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 B. N. Church, on joining the Department, started work in the Owen Lake- Goosly Lake area south and southeast of Houston, mapping known deposits and studying the relationship of the mineralization to the Tertiary volcanic rocks. G. E. P. Eastwood spent a month near McLeese Lake on detailed mapping of an extensive area of copper mineralization. J. T. Fyles completed mapping the molybdenum-bearing area at Rossland, and made a number of property examinations, principally in the Kootenay region. E. W. Grove spent the summer in the office, writing up the results of the previous five years' fieldwork in the Portland Canal-Unuk River area. J. W. McCammon examined deposits of industrial minerals and structural materials in various parts of the Province. W. J. McMillan, with one assistant, started work in the Highland Valley area preparatory to making an exhaustive study of the mineralization of the entire region. This study will build on and carry forward the work of J. M. Carr. K. E. Northcote, with one assistant, continued regional mapping of the geology and mineral deposits of the north end of Vancouver Island north and west of Holberg Inlet. V. A. G. Preto, with one assistant, completed remapping and study of the important copper mineralization on both sides of the Similkameen River in the Copper Mountain area. This area includes the former Granby Company holdings, now the property of Similkameen Mining Company Limited, and others. A. Sutherland Brown made field studies of mineral deposits of copper and molybdenum in various parts of the Province preparatory to publishing a bulletin on the occurrence of these metals. Five field assistants were employed on the various projects. Publications Technical reports of the Mineralogical Branch were published in Geology, Exploration, and Mining in British Columbia, 1969. In addition, the Branch published Bulletin No. 56, Geology and Geochronology of the Guichon Creek Batholith, by K. E. Northcote, and also Map 69-1, " Geological Compilation Map of Smithers, Hazelton, and Terrace Areas," by N. C. Carter and R. V. Kirkham. Six scientific and educational reports and papers resulting directly from their work as staff geologists were also published by officers of the Branch. Copies of seven mineral inventory maps covering the Queen Charlotte Islands, Vancouver Island, and the Princeton area and Xerox copies of the relevant inventory cards were made available in 1969. Details of this material may be requested from the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, Douglas Building, Victoria. Rock and Mineral Sets Sets of rocks and minerals are available for sale to prospectors, schools, and residents of British Columbia. Information regarding them may be obtained from the Chief of the Mineralogical Branch, Douglas Building, Victoria. Airborne Magnetometer Mapping The project of airborne magnetometer mapping, jointly financed by the Geological Survey of Canada and the British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, continued in 1969. In May, 1969, a three-year contract was signed with Geoterrex Ltd. DEPARTMENTAL WORK Summary of aeromagnetic maps released is as follows: A 75 Release Date Number Scale When Flown April 8, 1969 April 8, 1969 May 6, 1969._ May 6, 1969 February 25, 1970..

The basic data used in compiling the maps are on open file at the Geological Survey of Canada in Ottawa, where interested parties may arrange to obtain them for special processing. The Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (Observatories Branch) operates a magnetic observatory at Victoria. Services available to geophysical exploration companies and other interested agencies include:— (a) Three-hour range indices of magnetic activity; these provide a measure of the intensity of the magnetic disturbance (on a 0-9 scale) for each three-hour period. The monthly listings of these indices are normally mailed within a few days after the end of each month. (b) Copies of magnetograms are available through a local duplicating firm at a charge of $7.50 for a monthly set. These recordings of the magnetic field can be used to control field surveys, in particular to correct for the diurnal changes and magnetic disturbances. The area over which this control is valid depends on the required accuracy; for ±5 gamma accuracy, it covers an elliptic region reaching roughly as far as longitude 118 degrees to the east and latitude 50.5 degrees to the north. Further details can be obtained by writing to the Officer-in-charge, Victoria Magnetic Observatory, R.R. 7, Victoria. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS BRANCH The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is responsible for the administration of the Drilling and Production Regulations made pursuant to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. These regulations, made by Order in Council 308, dated February 3, 1969, supersede the former Regulations Governing the Drilling of Wells and the Production and Conservation of Oil and Natural Gas, and the Regulations Establishing Gas-Oil Ratio Adjustment Factors, Oil Production Allowables, Overproduction and Underproduction. The regulations provide for the use of efficient and safe practices in the drilling, completion, and abandonment of wells; for the orderly development of fields discovered within the Province; and for the conservation and prevention of waste of oil and natural gas within the reservoir and during production operations. Every well location must be approved by the Branch before the well is drilled. All operations related to drilling and production are inspected frequently to ensure compliance with the provision of all regulations, including such features as facilities and practices used, adequate plugging of abandoned wells, surface restoration of A 76 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 well-sites, well-testing and measurement procedures employed, disposal of produced water, protection of installations against fire, and general conservation. Investigations are made of complaints of property damage resulting from drilling and producing operations, and from geophysical work programmes. Comprehensive records of all drilling and producing operations are maintained at Victoria and are made available for study, or are published, for the use and benefit of anyone interested in oil or gas development in British Columbia. Samples of bit cuttings, as well as all core, obtained from every well drilled in the Province, are collected and retained at the field office located at Charlie Lake, where they may be studied by interested persons. Charlie Lake is adjacent to the Alaska Highway, about 5 miles northwest of Fort St. John. Detailed reservoir engineering and geological studies are conducted on the basis of technical information submitted to the Branch from operating companies, as well as information acquired through field work by Branch personnel. Estimates of the reserves of oil and natural gas are made annually, at the end of December. Crown-owned oil and natural-gas rights are evaluated prior to being disposed of by public tender. Administration The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch is subdivided for administrative purposes into three sections. These sections and their supervisors are as follows: Development Engineering, W. L. Ingram; Reservoir Engineering, A. J. Dingley; and Geology, S. S. Cosburn. The field office at Charlie Lake, which includes the core and sample laboratory, is supervised by the District Engineer, D.

Board of Arbitration Chairman: A. W. Hobbs, solicitor, Department of the Attorney-General. Members: S. G. Preston, agrologist, Department of Agriculture; J. D. Line- ham, engineer, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources. The Board of Arbitration, established under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, grants right of entry by oil and gas companies upon alienated land and determines conditions of entry and compensation therefor. It also terminates the right of entry when a company has ceased to use the land. Three right-of-entry orders were made in 1969. Two of those applications, and one carried over from 1968, were heard at a hearing held at Fort St. John on September 22nd. The three cases were settled by Board awards dated November 3rd. An application for right-of-entry was received on December 11th. A right-of- entry order was made on December 15th and the application will be heard in 1970. Conservation Committee Chairman: K. B. Blakey, Deputy Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources. Members: M. H. A. Glover, economist, Department of Industrial Development, Trade, and Commerce; N. D. McKechnie, geologist, Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources, resigned on May 15th and has not been replaced. The Conservation Committee is responsible to the Minister of Mines and Petroleum Resources and was established originally on October 11, 1957, under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act. Its duties are as follows:— (1) To act as an advisory committee to the Minister on such questions of conservation that the Minister, in writing, shall refer to the Committee for consideration and recommendation. (2) To deal with such questions of conservation and production in the various fields of British Columbia as may arise between two or more operators in the same field or between operators and the Branch when appeals on such questions are made to the Minister and referred by him to the Committee. The Conservation Committee did not meet in 1969.

The regulations specify the conditions which must be employed for efficiency and safe practice in the drilling, completion, and abandonment of wells; for well spacing; prevention of waste; conservation; and all related matters. GENERAL REVIEW Production of crude oil and natural gas during 1969 continued their steady increases that have occurred since completion of major pipe-line connections from the northeastern corner of the Province. Gains in production compared to 1968 were 14.2 and 15.3 per cent respectively for oil and natural gas. Secondary recovery schemes from the oilfields producing Triassic oil accounted for the majority of the crude-oil production. Large increases in gas production resulted from further developments in the northern fields producing from reservoirs of Devonian age. Drilling and exploration activities fell off significantly, with no apparent change expected in the immediate future. The drilling completed during 1969 failed to make any significant discovery that would result in a large-scale development. This decrease in drilling operations provided the Branch with the opportunity to review assigned production allowables and reserve calculations and reoriented the field staff to more emphasis on the inspection of the production facilities. No major changes were made during 1969 to the pipe-line and marketing installations in the Province. FIELD OFFICE The field office of the Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources is located at Charlie Lake, British Columbia, near Mile 52 on the Alaska Highway. A sub- office located in the Provincial Building at Fort Nelson is used periodically by the field staff. The field office staff is responsible for enforcement at the field level of the Drilling and Production Regulations. The Provincial standard for bottom-hole pressure-gauge calibration is located at Charlie Lake. The new regulations, effective February 3, 1969, required that any gauge to be used for sub-surface pressure measurement must be calibrated to this standard before it can be lawfully used in British Columbia. During 1969, 465 pressure gauges were calibrated and calculated without charge, and a copy of the results was forwarded to the respective companies. During 1969, seven vehicles were driven a total of 118,318 miles to conduct inspections and (or) perform surveys pertaining to the drilling and production phase of the oil and gas industry. A specialized bottom-hole unit was employed to conduct surveys on 78 wells. These surveys are used as a check on the pressure data submitted by operating companies or for special studies conducted by Departmental personnel. Continued fast growth of oil and natural-gas production claimed a large percentage of the inspections made by the field staff. Complete meter calibrations were done on 166 gas meters, and an additional 773 gas meters were fast checked. Twenty-two new gas-measurement sites were inspected, and the meter runs micro- metered to ensure that they met with A.G.A. specifications for gas measurement. Surface production equipment, storage facilities, and production batteries were inspected on 105 occasions. A 84 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 In compliance with the provisions of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, 1965, the field office staff supervised lease restoration on two abandoned sites. Inspections were carried out at 220 drilling-sites and 1,520 producing or abandoned leases. Six hundred and sixty-nine water-storage or disposal sites were inspected during 1969, with the view to strictly enforcing the regulations pertaining to the storage and disposal of produced formation water. GEOLOGICAL SECTION During 1969, the Geological Section interpreted, recorded, and filed geologic data from northeastern British Columbia. New data were incorporated into the sub-surface maps for determination of oil and gas reserves, land evaluations, permit and lease work evaluation, and special projects. The main sources of information for the geologic studies were permit and lease reports, submitted drilling and production data, well logs, samples, and core. Geological data were interpreted in relation to the reservoir geology of the oil and gas fields. Fields receiving the greatest attention were those producing from the Halfway and Charlie Lake Formations in the Fort St. John area, and the Slave Point and Pine Point Formations in the Fort Nelson area. Special projects were undertaken to deal with numerous industry submissions. All approved well locations are classified by the Section according to the Lahee System, as defined by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. A summary of the wells classified by the Lahee System is shown in Table 13. Six classifications are used that are based upon the geological interpretation, which are described as follows: (1) New field wildcat—drilled in a geological environment where hydrocarbons have not yet been discovered; (2) new pool wildcat—drilled in a geological horizon where other pools have been found but the geological conditions are such that searching for a new pool is very hazardous; (3) outpost—drilled with the intent of extending an already partly developed pool by a considerable distance; (4) and (5) deep-pool and shallow-pool tests—drilled within the known limits of a pool with the intent of searching for hydrocarbons below or above respectively the pool or producible horizon; and (6) development—drilled with the intent of further exploiting the pay horizon or pool within the area which has already been essentially proved for production. Geological Laboratories Core and Well Samples All cores from British Columbia wells must be preserved in labelled boxes having an inside length not greater than 30 inches and must be delivered to the geological laboratory for permanent storage. During 1969, 1,236 boxes of core from 90 wells were received at the laboratory. At the end of 1969, 28,428 boxes from 1,684 wells were being stored. Unless otherwise directed, any operator who drills a well for petroleum or natural gas is required to take a sample of drilled rock (bit cuttings) at least every 10 feet of depth. Each sample, consisting of several ounces of rock fragments, is placed in a small bag at the well, labelled, and submitted to the geological laboratory, where it is washed and bottled. Each 10-foot sample is divided, resulting in three complete sets of samples for each well. One set is retained at the Charlie Lake sample library, one is sent to headquarters at Victoria, and the other to the Institute of Sedimentary and Petroleum Geology, Geological Survey of Canada, in Calgary.

A 86 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 10-foot sample from the original sample-bag is retained at the laboratory for a period of one year should further samples be required. The main sample-examination facilities are at Charlie Lake; limited facilities are available at Victoria. The Charlie Lake sample library and the Geological Survey of Canada sample library in Calgary each has a set of samples from wells drilled in British Columbia since 1948; the Victoria sample library has samples from wells drilled since September, 1957. At the end of 1969 the Charlie Lake sample library contained 667,364 samples, while 665,725 samples were retained in the Victoria library. During 1969, samples were received at the laboratory from 177 wells. A total of 52,062 10-foot samples was washed and bottled in 1969. Core and Sample Examination A nominal fee is charged for the use of core- and sample-examination facilities provided by the Department. In 1969, 8,283 boxes of core from 475 wells were studied by oil company personnel and other interested individuals. Cores from 30 wells were temporarily removed from the laboratory by the operators for further studies. Samples from 21 wells were studied, using the laboratory facilities at Charlie Lake. Since the core- and sample-examination laboratory at Charlie Lake was made available to the public in February, 1961, 68,839 boxes of core have been removed from the racks for examination. Exploration In northeastern British Columbia during 1969, 23 oil and gas companies employed seismic crews for a total of 182 crew-weeks. During February, the most active month, 12 crews were working. Two companies did gravity work in northeastern British Columbia and one company ran a magnetometer survey in northeastern British Columbia. Surface geological parties worked in northeastern British Columbia and in the Stikine area. These exploration activities are listed in Tables 14 and 15. Except for one exploratory test in the Bowser Basin, all the drilling for oil and gas was confined to northeastern British Columbia. Of the 35 producing oil wells completed in 1969, 1 was completed in the Mississippian, 2 in the Permian, 31 in the Triassic, and 1 in the Cretaceous. Of the 40 gas wells, 9 were Devonian, 5 Permian, 15 Triassic, and 11 Cretaceous. All these potentially productive wells were located in the plains area of northeastern British Columbia. Twenty-six wells were drilled to Devonian horizons during 1969. The wells FPC Peggo b-53-I and Pacific Cabin d-57-B discovered gas in the Slave Point Formation, and Sulphur Point gas was discovered in new areas by Apache CPOG IOE Clarke d-24-I and Mobil Sahtaneh c-70-I. Four development gas wells were completed in the Slave Point of the Clarke Lake Field. One Debolt Formation oil well was completed in the Blueberry area. Two Belloy Formation oil wells and five Belloy gas wells were completed in the Stoddart area. One of these, CDR Eagle 11-29-84-18 discovered a new Belloy oil pool. Most of the drilling in northeastern British Columbia was to Triassic objectives, and discoveries were made in the Halfway, Charlie Lake, and Baldonnel Formations. The development drilling was mainly aimed at Triassic production in the Boundary Lake field, the non-continuous Halfway trend, and in the Inga field. The numerous Charlie Lake Stray sands are proving an added stimulus to Triassic exploration. One oil well was completed in the Bluesky-Gething Formation and 11 gas wells were completed in Upper and Lower Cretaceous strata.

This involves interpretation of reservoir pressure, rock and fluid properties, and production data. The results of these studies are applied in making recommendations concerning the approval of submissions from industry for improved recovery and other production schemes, and also for estimating Provincial hydrocarbon and hydrocarbon-associated sulphur reserves. The section ensures that requisite reservoir data are obtained, either by industry or Branch personnel, and maintains files of these data. In addition, oil and gas allowable production rates are established by the Section. Other responsibilities of the Section include matters affecting conservation and correlative rights, approval of measurement practices, and approval of produced water-disposal schemes. Oil Allowables, M.P.R.s, and Improved Recovery Schemes Maximum permissive rates (M.P.R.s) are assigned to all oil wells in the Province, either as individual wells or for groups of wells in the form of project or unit M.P.R.s. Single-well M.P.R.s are based on well-bore net-pay properties, while project M.P.R.s are derived from mapped pore volume data and the estimated recovery factor for the production scheme in effect. Monthly oil allowables are established from M.P.R. values, and periodic checks are made to ensure that wells and projects are being produced in accordance with regulations governing overproduction. Section 74.03 of the Drilling and Production Regulations provides for the carry-forward of oil allowable underproduction from one production period to the next, provided this circumstance is caused by a situation not controllable by the A 88 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 operator involved. During the year several requests for such a carry-forward were approved. Under section 71.02 of the regulations, daily oil production cannot exceed 125 per cent of the M.P.R. In connection with applications under section 74.03, requests were also received for waiver of section 71.02 to enable wells in the Inga B pool and Stoddart field to make up underproduction. These requests were not granted, since in the Branch's opinion all wells capable of exceeding their M.P.R. would be able to make up the underproduction during the 1969/70 production period. A report is issued monthly, in which M.P.R.s are summarized by field and operator. Table 16 presents individual well and project M.P.R.s as of December 31, 1969, while Maps 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 17, 19, and 20 show the areas included in project or unit M.P.R. approvals. During 1969 a total of 43 single-well M.P.R.s was issued. This includes revisions to 23 previously approved values due to re-evaluation of pertinent data or changes in well spacing, and four interim M.P.R.s which were revised to permanent status. As discussed in last year's report, during 1968 many project and single-well M.P.R. reapplications were received in response to an attempt to obtain uniformity in parameters included in M.P.R. calculations. By early 1969 these had all been reviewed and, effective March 1, interim M.P.R.s were issued pending final exhaustive evaluation of the submissions. The interim M.P.R.s outstanding at the end of 1969 are identified in Table 16. At the time these interim M.P.R.s were issued, all project approvals were amended to conform with the requirements of the new Drilling and Production Regulations which came into force on February 3, 1969. Annual or semi-annual progress reports are now required for all projects, together with brief monthly status reports detailing withdrawal balances. In May, an application was received from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd. for an increase in M.P.R. for all wells operated by that Company in the Inga A pool, Inga field. Following extensive review, the application was not approved due to lack of substantiating data and the fact that formation of a unit in this pool was being actively pursued. At the end of 1968, a waterflood M.P.R. had been approved for Inga Unit No. 1, but was not in effect since water injection had not commenced. Following first water injection in lune, 1969, the M.P.R. became 7,064 stock tank barrels per day as of June 1. This was later increased to an interim level of 7,400 stock tank barrels per day following unit enlargement on August 1, 1969. The M.P.R. was finally pegged at 7,246 stock tank barrels per day on October 1, 1969, following completion of an infill drilling programme which provided additional reservoir data leading to some modification of the pool maps. At the beginning of 1969 an application by Pacific Petroleums Ltd. was under review for increase in the M.P.R. allocated to Weasel Unit No. 2. This application was occasioned by unit enlargement and some infill drilling leading to revised pool maps. At the end of January the M.P.R. was set at 1,143 stock tank barrels per day, to become effective when water injection into the project was commenced. An alternative water-injection pattern was also approved during January. Initial water injection into the project was in March, 1969. During February, 1969, application was received from Pacific Petroleums Ltd. for approval of three additional water-injection wells to be drilled in Peejay Unit No. 1. Approval was granted immediately for two of the wells and the third was approved following additional clarification of the reasons for the proposal. In May, an application was received from Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd. for permission to inject, into the well located in d-24-J/94-H-2, gas produced as PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 89 a result of oil production from the Halfway Sand in Milligan Creek Unit No. 1. Following review of the relevant data, the scheme was approved at the end of June. The proposal had been advertised in the Gazette during the intervening period and had elicited no objections. An application was received in August from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd. requesting approval for modification of the waterflood pattern in Weasel Unit No. 1. Approval was granted. At the end of August a request was received from Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd. for an increase in the M.P.R. for the Aitken Creek Gething pool project. It was claimed that pool performance to date was indicative of a higher ultimate recovery factor than was currently being recognized in the M.P.R. calculation. Following extensive review, the M.P.R. was increased to 1,125 stock tank barrels per day, to become effective on January 1, 1970. One application for removal of oil allowable off-target penalty factor was received during 1969. This was made by Texaco Exploration Company, and related to the well in C-32-A/94-A-14 producing oil from the Dunlevy Sand. No objections were made to the proposal to lift the penalty when it was advertised in the Gazette. Consequently, the off-target penalty factor was removed, effective March 1, 1969. During the year the Reservoir Engineering Section examined two situations involving lease-line problems in adjacent waterflood projects. The first of these related to Weasel Units Nos. 1 and 2, and the allocation between these projects of water injected at their common boundary. A mutually satisfactory solution was obtained to this problem. The second problem arose because of a reservoir voidage imbalance in the vicinity of the boundary between Peejay Unit No. 3 and the Peejay Tenneco project. Reservoir-pressure survey data indicated the presence of a substantial pressure sink in this area which, if not corrected, would allow lease-line drainage from Unit No. 3 and also result in reduced ultimate oil recovery from the common oil pool. Various alternate solutions to the problem were examined by the Branch and by the working-interest owners of the projects involved. The technically superior solution was to combine the projects under one operator, thus allowing for optimum waterflood-pattern selection without regard to artificially imposed lease-line considerations. This was the route adopted by the working- interest owners, and by year-end negotiations which would lead to absorption into Unit No. 3 of the Tenneco project were well advanced. Associated and Solution Gas-conservation Schemes Solution gas is always produced as a by-product of oil production. This gas is dissolved in the oil at reservoir pressure and temperature conditions, but due to decreases in these parameters as the oil is brought to the surface much of the dissolved gas is evolved. In many cases the volume of this gas, in excess of lease equipment fuel requirements, is so small that it is not economical to install gathering facilities to market the gas. This excess gas is flared. Many oil pools are discovered in which the oil is originally overlain with gas, known as a gas cap. It is often impossible to produce the oil without also producing some gas-cap gas, in addition to the solution gas. This could be detrimental from the point of view of ultimate oil recovery, since production of the gas cap reduces the reservoir energy available to produce the oil. Gas produced with oil can be conserved in two ways—either it can be collected and marketed or it can be collected and injected back into the producing reservoir or a storage zone. Conservation is encouraged by incentives. In the case of A 90 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 schemes with marginal economics, a reduced royalty rate may be applied to gas that is sold. Wells or projects that produce with a gas-oil ratio in excess of 1,000 standard cubic feet stock tank barrels have their allowable reduced by a factor which is dependent on the level of gas-oil ratio (Division 89, Drilling and Production Regulations). This factor may be modified if the gas is conserved, either by reinjection or by marketing. However, in the case that gas-cap gas is to be marketed, the Branch needs to be satisfied that such concurrent production will not be harmful to ultimate oil recovery. At the beginning of 1969, two conservation schemes were in operation that marketed solution gas, and five projects involving return of gas to the producing reservoir were active. The gas-injection projects are included in Table 16. The schemes involving gas sales were in effect in the Boundary Lake and Blueberry fields. In the latter, solution gas from the Pacific-operated Debolt pool project is collected and compressed along with gas-well gas from other pools in the field. Gas not used as fuel or flared is then either delivered to the sales gas system or used for gas-lifting at individual oil wells. The Boundary Lake system comprises a gas- treating plant (for extraction of liquids) and services oil wells in the four waterflood projects producing from the Boundary Lake Sand in this field. At the end of 1968, Monsanto Oil Ltd. had been granted approval for relief from gas-oil ratio penalty for Dunlevy Sand oil wells in a section of the Rigel field (located in 19-87-16 W6M, 13 and 23-87-17 W6M). This approval was contingent on implementation of a gas sales-type conservation scheme. By the end of 1969 the scheme had not been put into effect, but firm plans were well advanced. In December, 1969, two applications were received for approval of gas sales- type conservation schemes. One, made by Canadian Superior Oil Ltd., concerned collection of solution gas being produced from Inga Unit No. 1, the plan being to collect separator and stock-tank-evolved gas, compress it, and market it through the sales gas-line already passing through the north end of the unit carrying gas from gas fields to the northwest of Inga. The proposal was being reviewed by the Reservoir Engineering Section at year-end. The second application was for a scheme to be known as the " Northeast British Columbia Gas Gathering System," and was made by Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd. as operator of the system. The proposal was to build a gas-line from the Westcoast Transmission Co. Ltd. terminal, located in 21-87-15 W6M, generally northwest for some 43 miles. Operators of properties along the route (from Currant in the south to Beatton River in the north, see Fig. 3) were to be responsible for necessary collection and compression facilities to deliver gas to the line at any of three injection points. At year-end the proposal was still under review by the Reservoir Engineering Section. Gas Allowables and Well Tests The " daily gas allowables " or production rate limits (P.R.L.s) for gas wells in the Province are established from the results of absolute open-flow potential (A.O.F.) tests. These tests are witnessed by Branch field personnel and the data collected are interpreted by the Reservoir Engineering Section to establish P.R.L.s and also for use in reservoir studies. Restriction of individual well production rates has not been deemed necessary in some gas pools, and in these cases either Project Allowables have been issued, or the pools' operators have approval to produce according to " Good Engineering Practice" (G.E.P.). Table 17 presents A.O.F. test data, individual well P.R.L.s, Project Allowables, and G.E.P. schemes in effect at December 31, 1969. The areas included in the various Project Allowable and G.E.P. schemes are shown in Maps 3, 4,7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 18. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 91 When the revised Drilling and Production Regulations came into force on February 3, 1969, major changes in the testing requirements for gas wells became effective. The specific regulations are included in Divisions 79 through 87. Because of this and the desire to update testing procedures, the Reservoir Engineering Section prepared a pamphlet entitled " Procedures for Gas-well Testing and Assignment of Production Rate Limits." This was mailed to all companies operating in the Province under cover of a " Memo to All Operators," dated September 5, 1969. This pamphlet consolidates all gas-well testing requirements, methods, schedules, and P.R.L. calculations. Under these new procedures, the basic A.O.F. test for wells in the Province is now the isochronal or modified isochronal test. Wells have to be tested initially and after one year of production by either of these methods. All wells operating during 1969 whose A.O.F. exceeded 8 million standard cubic feet per day are required to be tested prior to the end of 1970, by one of these methods, if not already so tested. Thereafter, annual static bottom-hole pressure measurements and single-point flow test data are required, with a full multipoint test every fifth year. Wells with an A.O.F. less than 8 million standard cubic feet per day require a single-point flow test every fifth year, together with annual static bottom- hole pressure measurements. Testing schedules have been arranged so that meaningful reservoir pressure data are obtained from the various gas pools in the Province. Daily gas allowables, effective on completion of the initial test or on October 1st, in subsequent years, will be calculated from the results of multipoint or single-point A.O.F. tests. Initially the P.R.L. will be 25 per cent of the A.O.F. Subsequently, however, the P.R.L. will reflect a rate that produces an equivalent wellbore pressure drawdown to that produced at initial reservoir conditions at the original P.R.L. During 1969, several operator-proposed testing programmes were reviewed and approved with modifications where necessary. Three new wells in the Sunrise field were allowed to produce for a period of one month prior to being A.O.F. tested. This concession was granted to allow clean-up of the wells, which were producing completion fluids that hindered attempts to obtain meaningful A.O.F. test data. Several wells were allowed to flare gas for the purpose of testing or obtaining gas samples for analysis. The study of the Baldonnel reservoir in the Inga field, incomplete at the end of 1968, was finalized early in 1969. It was concluded that the gas accumulation was separated from the down-dip oil. On this basis, P.R.L.s were issued for the three wells completed as gas producers in the Baldonnel and for which A.O.F. test data had been obtained during 1968. At the end of 1968, an application was under consideration from Imperial Oil Ltd. for establishment of Good Engineering Practice in the Dunlevy Sand, Rigel field. Some apparent problems concerning equity between operators were successfully resolved and the project became effective on March 1st. At the beginning of 1969 the Reservoir Engineering Section had under study an application by Amarillo Oil Company (now Pioneer Exploration Ltd.) for approval to produce Inga Sand zone gas wells in the Jeans West field. Additional reservoir-pressure data in the area had been requested toward the end of 1968. It was hoped that these data would assist in resolving whether or not the gas accumulation was connected to the adjacent oil pool in the Inga field. The data were inconclusive, but additional drilling between the two fields indicated that the oil and gas were most probably in communication. This, and the fact that objections to the proposal were received from working-interest owners in Inga Unit No. 1, resulted in further consultation with the applicant to determine the safeguards that would be required before production could be allowed. The application was subsequently withdrawn, and the working-interest owners in the area proceeded to dis- A 92 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT. 1969 cuss the practicality of forming a unit for the purpose of concurrently producing the gas in conjunction with oil from Inga Unit No. 1. At year-end a concurrent production system had been modelled for computer solution, and unitization negotiations were well in hand. In July, an application was received from Pacific Petroleums Ltd. for approval of production by Good Engineering Practice of gas wells in the Baldonnel and Halfway Zones in Beg and Beg West fields. The proposal was advertised in the Gazette on July 24th and 31st, and no objections were received. Since there were no technical reservations involved, the scheme was approved, effective September 1, 1969. In September, an application was received from Amoco Canada Petroleum Company Ltd. requesting approval for a pool allowable for the Nahanni gas pool in the Beaver River area. The submission was advertised in the Gazette on October 2nd and 9th. No objections were registered, and studies indicated no technical reasons for withholding approval on a short-term basis, pending actual producing history data. However, the productive area of this Nahanni pool extends into the Yukon. Consequently, before a decision was made with respect to the submission, it was considered advisable to contact the Resource Management Division of the Federal Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. This was done in order to arrange for complementary production rates between the " Federal " and " Provincial" portions of the pool, and to collect data on which a decision could be made regarding distribution of royalty from production under a " pool allowable " scheme. As of the end of 1969, consultation was continuing, but no mutually acceptable distribution of reserves had been arrived at. A request was received from Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. for permission to produce the well located in C-91-D/94-I-14 at rates in excess of its P.R.L., for a period beginning in mid-October and extending until January 15, 1970. The reason for the application was that an adjacent well (c-78-C/94-I-14) had developed a tubing leak, and repair was not expected to be accomplished before mid-January. These two wells are the only wells producing from the Pine Point pool in the Sierra area. Since all productive acreage is leased by Mobil Oil, no equity considerations arose, and total production rate from the pool was to remain stable. The request was therefore granted. Husky Oil Ltd. applied in May for transfer of the gas allowable for the well in C-100-H/94-J-10 in the Clarke Lake field to another well in the field. The request was not approved. Generally the principle of transferring gas-well allowables is inconsistent with the theory of setting such production limits. Unlike oil well allowables, which are based on reserves, gas well production-rate limits are based on production tests and are assigned at a level designed to minimize well-bore damage. Transfer of allowables, therefore, defeats this object. Specifically with regard to Clarke Lake, two additional factors are pertinent. Most wells in the field are in the Slave Point project, which has an allowable of 400 million standard cubic feet per day. Thus, transfer of allowable to a well in this area is meaningless. The wells that are restricted to individual production-rate limits are those offsetting the well in a-65-G/94-J-10. These wells were excluded from the project at the specific request of the operator of the a-65-G well because it was considered that undue drainage of this tract would occur. Thus, transfer of another well's allowable to one of these wells would defeat the purpose of their rate limitations. Husky was advised to discuss with Pacific Petroleums Ltd., the project operator, the possibility of including the spacing area for c-100-H into the project, and to subsequently apply to the Branch for enlargement of the project for this purpose. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 93 Hydrocarbon and Associated Sulphur Reserves Table 18 presents estimated reserves, at year-end 1969, of oil, gas, and gas by-products (hydrocarbon liquids and sulphur). The major review and normalization of reserves estimates begun in 1968 was continued during 1969, resulting in modifications to several previous estimates of ultimate recovery. These are shown under the heading " Revisions in 1969 " in Table 18. The current estimates of oil and gas reservoir rock, fluid, and producing characteristics are presented in Tables 19 and 20. The proved oil reserves in the Province as of December 31, 1969, are estimated at some 253 million stock tank barrels. Drilling during 1969 proved up 2.9 million stock tank barrels of reserves, and revisions to previous estimates added a further 2.3 million stock tank barrels. However, 25.3 million stock tank barrels were produced during the year, resulting in a net decrease in proved reserves of 20.1 million stock tank barrels when compared with reserves at the end of 1968. Proved reserves represent oil for which it is believed there is a 90 per cent or better chance that the estimated volumes will be recovered. Probable reserves are carried where the probability is estimated to be 50 per cent or more. These include primary reserves on undrilled acreage and reserves attributable to probable increases in ultimate recovery from pools under improved recovery schemes or for which such schemes are planned. Probable oil reserves are estimated at 85 million stock tank barrels, as of December 31, 1969. This is 14.3 million stock tank barrels less than the estimate made for year-end 1968. One reason for this is the transfer of some reserves from the probable to proved category, based on the performance of some improved recovery projects. A fair proportion of the decrease is, however, due to revisions of previous estimates for some pools. Gas and gas by-products reserves shown in Table 18 are " established " reserves. These comprise the proved reserves plus a percentage (usually 50 per cent) of the estimated probable reserves. As of December 31, 1969, the established raw- gas reserves are estimated at 8.9 trillion standard cubic feet. Adjustment for removal of a percentage of the liquid hydrocarbons and acid gases results in established residue gas reserves of 7.8 trillion standard cubic feet, or 8.1 trillion standard cubic feet when converted to a standard heat content of 1,000 B.T.U. per standard cubic foot. These volumes represent slight increases over the corresponding estimates at the end of 1968. It is readily seen that 75 per cent of the increase is due to drilling in 1969, with major reserves increases in the Rigel, Stoddart, Dahl, Blueberry, and Beavertail areas. Adjustments to previous reserves estimates accounted for the other 25 per cent of the increase, representing 160 billion standard cubic feet; of this, 134 billion standard cubic feet is due to the inclusion of reserves of associated gas in the Crush, Inga, Milligan Creek, part of Peejay, Rigel, and Wildmint fields. These reserves were not previously carried, as gas-conservation schemes were not in effect. However, at year-end 1969, schemes for these fields were well in hand and inclusion in the reserves estimates was considered justified. In the case of Inga field, these reserves include gas in the gas-cap to Inga Unit No. 1 in the Jeans West area. The item in Table 18 identified as " cumulative production adjustment " is to allow for the cumulative gas produced from these proposed conservation schemes up to December 31, 1968. Natural-gas liquids reserves at year-end 1969 are estimated at 124 million stock tank barrels, some 5.5 million stock tank barrels more than the estimate at December 31, 1968. This increase is entirely due to drilling during 1969 in the area served by the Fort St. John gas plant. No liquids are extracted from gas processed at the Fort Nelson plant, due to the very low liquid content of this gas. A 94 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 As in the case of gas reserves, the item " cumulative production adjustment" in Table 18 is to adjust the December 31, 1968, cumulative natural-gas liquids production for liquids produced from the proposed conservation schemes. Estimated sulphur reserves at December 31, 1969, at 3,736 thousand long tons, are 939 thousand long tons more than the 1968 estimate. The reason for this substantial increase is that for the first time sulphur reserves are being carried for gas accumulations serving the Fort Nelson gas plant. Subject to National Energy Board approval, this plant is due to have a sulphur-extraction facility in operation by the fall of 1971 and inclusion of these sulphur reserves is therefore considered justified. The cumulative production adjustment in Table 18 includes cumulative sulphur produced, to December 31, 1968, from the area served by the Fort Nelson plant and also from the proposed gas-conservation schemes previously discussed. It should be noted that residue gas, natural-gas liquids, and sulphur production and reserves estimates are based on theoretical calculations of the quantities of these materials contained in the raw-gas reserves. Comparisons between actual and theoretical production during 1969 are included in footnotes to Table 18. The apparent low sulphur extraction efficiency is due to the fact that the theoretical values include the sulphur not in fact extracted from the gas in the Fort Nelson plant. Miscellaneous During 1969, several proposed schemes for produced-water disposal were examined. In January, Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. drilled a well in d-92-D/94-I-14 for the purpose of disposing of water produced as a result of gas production from the Pine Point Formation in the Sierra area. Approval was granted on an interim basis, pending final evaluation, for disposal into the Debolt Formation in this well. Pacific Petroleums Ltd. applied in March for permission to transport water produced from the Cadomin zone in the well located in 8-15-85-14 W6M to the Boundary Lake injection plant. This plant is operated by Imperial Oil Ltd., and provides water for waterflooding the Boundary Lake zone in this field. Test data indicated that the water could be treated to avoid incompatibility problems, and the request was therefore granted. At the beginning of November an application was received from Texaco Exploration Co. for approval to dispose of water produced from the Inga Sand in the well located in 16-13-87-24 W6M. The proposal was to truck the water to the Nig Creek field disposal well located in a-31-F/94-H-4 for disposal to the Baldonnel Formation. At the time this well was used solely for the purpose of disposing of water produced with gas from the Baldonnel zone in the Nig Creek field. Laboratory tests indicated that mixing of Inga and Baldonnel waters would cause calcium- carbonate precipitation. This would be detrimental if allowed to occur unchecked in the bore of the disposal well, since " plugging " of the disposal zone would occur. Texaco proposed to control any tendency to such plugging by injection of hydrochloric acid. In mid-November, interim authorization was granted for the proposal, subject to several conditions imposed to ensure that the disposal well's capacity was not impaired, in order that Nig Creek gas production would not be curtailed due to inability to dispose of produced water. Two applications were dealt with concerning gas metering during 1969. At the end of 1968, Mobil Oil Canada Ltd. requested waiver of the requirement for individual well-gas metering for production from three wells in the Sierra area. The application was not approved as it stood. However, a compromise scheme was authorized whereby individual pool production would be metered and individual well rates within a pool would be estimated by prorating on the basis of monthly PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 95 production tests through the dehydration plant. In December 1969, Union Oil Company of Canada Ltd. was informed that the Branch would waive the requirement for chart records on integrating orifice meters for all injection points into, and the custody transfer point from, the proposed Northeast British Columbia Gas Gathering System. This waiver was granted on condition that digital readout orifice- flow computers of approved design would be installed instead of the conventional meters at these locations. It was considered that greater metering accuracy would be obtained with the proposed equipment. One condition of the waiver is that three-monthly reports followed by annual reports are to be filed with the Branch, detailing meter gas balances into and out of the system. Several comprehensive reservoir studies were made during 1969, in conjunction with the Geological Section. Pools included were the Nahanni in the Beaver River area, the Halfway in the Peejay field, the Bluesky-Gething in Aitken Creek field, and the Baldonnel and Halfway in the Beg and Beg West fields. In addition, preliminary work was started on a study of the potential value in waterflooding the Inga A pool in the Inga field. In addition to the annual reserves estimates, a review was made of potential associated- and solution-gas reserves in the general area of the proposed Northeast British Columbia Gas Gathering System. Some of these, for which firm conservation commitments have been made, are included in the Provincial Reserves estimate as of December 31, 1969. The revised Drilling and Production Regulations stipulate the frequency with which progress reports are required from operators of improved recovery schemes. During 1969, such reports were reviewed for all the projects listed in Table 16, with the exception of Inga Unit No. 1; water injection into this project had only been taking place for six months by year-end 1969. In addition, a progress report for the Slave Point project in the Clarke Lake field was reviewed. Where necessary, items arising from these reports were discussed with the operator. As a further check on efficacy of the improved recovery schemes in operation during the year, withdrawal balances since initiation were calculated for all projects. During the year, several proposed testing procedures and test results were reviewed relative to segregation in dual- or triple-zone completion wells. In all cases examined it was concluded that segregation was effective. Amongst several miscellaneous applications dealt with during 1969 was one from Tenneco Oil & Minerals Ltd. for permission to flare approximately 100 million standard cubic feet of gas from the well located in 16-12-87-24 W6M. This well was completed in the Inga Sand, lower structurally than off-setting oil wells. However, the sand appeared to be gas-bearing. It was contended by the applicant that production of the 100 million standard cubic feet of gas would deplete the interpreted local gas accumulation and permit the well to go on stream as an oil producer. For several reasons, approval to flare this volume of gas was withheld. Normal initial production testing routine was followed when the well was placed on stream in March, and the well came in immediately as an oil producer, although with a gas- oil ratio well above that observed in adjacent wells. At year-end the gas-oil ratio was still about five or six times as high as the nearby wells. Another application that was considered during the year concerned possible modification of gas-well spacing areas in a projected drilling prospect. It was concluded that modification was not desirable and that sections 13.06 and 13.09 of the regulations adequately covered the situation that might develop if the plans materialized into concrete action. Several proposed M.P.R.s were reviewed for wells in Alberta in spacing units adjacent to the Boundary Lake field, courtesy of the Alberta Oil & Gas Conservation Board. It was ensured that the proposed allowable A 96 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 rates were consistent with those that would have been applicable in British Columbia, and, therefore, that no lease-line problem existed. Several requests for general or specific reservoir-fluid analysis data were dealt with during 1969. As in previous years, a map detailing maximum detected concentrations of hydrogen sulphide in produced gases was prepared in September. This map is on file at the Branch field office, for the benefit of personnel about to work in the field. During the year many requests for Branch estimates of Provincial and individual pool reserves were received. In order to expedite the handling of such things as improved recovery submissions, a set of guidelines was prepared in January detailing the data required in support of various applications to the Branch. These were included in the Drilling and Production Regulations booklet, published by the Branch later in the year. Topics covered were: Water disposal, pressure maintenance or improved recovery, relief from gas-oil ratio penalties, concurrent production of oil and gas, removal of gas-well rate restrictions, and gas processing. In November, guidelines for gas- conservation scheme submissions were issued, in the form of a " Memo to All Operators." During September, a " Memo to All Operators " was issued on the subject of reservoir-pressure surveys in oil wells. Minimum requirements were detailed and proposals for survey schedules during 1970 were solicited. By year-end several schedules had been received and discussed with the operators where necessary. The finalized Province-wide schedules had not been issued by the end of December, pending review of outstanding submissions. In previous years the Reservoir Engineering Section has assisted the Chief Commissioner in evaluating acreage posted for disposition of Crown land. Early in 1969 a set of correlations was prepared which enables the selection of a value for such acreage based only on reservoir rock properties and estimated fluid distribution. These are now used generally by the Geological Section, and the Reservoir Engineering Section is only consulted in the case of unusual circumstances. A special evaluation was made for the Provincial Department of Finance. This concerned the value of part of an estate that included an over-riding royalty interest in a large spread of productive and potentially productive acreage in the Fort Nelson area. One or two other miscellaneous tasks were undertaken during the year to supply various Provincial and Federal Government personnel with data and interpretations. These included such things as providing information for Provincial representatives at the National Energy Board hearings in Ottawa in the fall of 1969. The Section assisted the Development Section in the continuing project to improve and modify the computer application, reporting current and historical production data. Early in 1969 the reorganization of the Reservoir Engineering Section's files, begun in 1968, was completed. Other action to upgrade the Section's utility included the purchase during the year of an electronic calculator, well suited to engineering calculations; and the enrolment of one staff member in a comprehensive reservoir engineering course at the University of Alberta. DEVELOPMENT SECTION Drilling A marked decrease was recorded in drilling operations completed in the Province during 1969. Over-all footage drilled was 19 per cent less than 1968, mainly due to the reduction in exploratory drilling. Exploratory wildcat footage was down 32 per cent from the 1968 level and the footage attained at wells classified as PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 97 exploratory outpost decreased 29 per cent. The development footage remained almost constant, relative to the previous year. Footages drilled during 1969 were as follows: Development 433,868 feet, compared to 442,747 feet for 1968; exploratory outpost 189,672 feet, compared to 265,891 feet; and exploratory wildcat 250,245 feet, compared to 366,247 feet. The year 1969 was the first year since 1964 that the total footage drilled did not exceed 1 million feet. Two factors were responsible for this decrease. The general orientation of exploration funds to northern Canada from the Prairie regions and the lack of new discoveries in British Columbia to initiate follow-up development drilling programmes. All drilling operations, except for one exploratory wildcat venture in the Bowser Basin area, were carried out in the northeastern corner of the Province. In total, 59 operating oil companies employed 51 different drilling rigs to complete the 1969 drilling. S'.'irs- ■{.'■:■ ■■■ , H V%2 A 98 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 Wells completed decreased 9 per cent to 171 wells in 1969 from 194 completions in 1968. Twelve wells were given finished drilling status at the end of the year. Production casing has been set in these wells, indicating that they are expected to be producers but will be evaluated at a later date. Because of the use of this temporary status, a true comparison to the 1968 completions cannot be made. In 1969, there were 40 gas wells completed, compared to 34 in 1968. Thirty-five oil completions were made in 1969, 11 less than in 1968, while 80 abandonments were recorded, compared to 105 during 1968. The number of wells drilling at the end of the year was 24. As in previous compilations, if more than one zone is completed in a well, each productive zone is counted as a well. As two multiple-gas completions were made in 1969, 169 wells were actually drilled. Wells drilled and drilling during 1969 are listed in Table 21. Monthly footages drilled since 1954 are given graphically on Figure 2. Well classifications were assigned by the Development Section during 1969 to each proposed well location in accordance with the Drilling and Production Regulations. A Lahee classification was also determined, which was described in the Geological Section of this report. The Branch classification system is explained by the following definitions. A development well is located within a spacing area that is contiguous to a spacing area containing a well capable of production from the same objective geological pool. Exploratory wells are divided into two types— wildcat and outpost. An exploratory wildcat well is located more than 4V_ miles from any capable well, and an exploratory outpost well is located in the area between development and wildcat wells. Development wells are further classified as deep-pool or shallow-pool tests where undeveloped pools below or above the objective pool is being explored. With the revised Drilling and Production Regulations, which were effective on February 3, 1969, the Branch classification is the basis used for the release of well information. Release of data for exploratory wildcat wells is made one year after the rig release date, while the information from all other wells is available 30 days after the rig release date. Workover operations were undertaken at many newly completed wells in addition to stimulation treatments performed on some of the declining wells. A work- over is considered to be any operation carried out after the rig release date that changes the producing interval, or alters, or intends to alter, the producing characteristics of a well. A producing interval may be changed by perforating, cementing perforations, or by running casing or plugs. The producing characteristics of a well may be changed by any operation performed to increase the productivity of the well. Changes may include perforating, acidizing, fracturing, installing a pump, or changing a choke, but do not include the replacement of equipment. 290 260 220 200 180 SO 140 120 100 eo 60 40 20 0 1 1 1 1 1 FOOTAGE DRILLED IN BRITISH COLUMBIA 1954 to 1969 inch 1 \ 1 tj „. , A K i _ 1 A f 1 , J II ) I * l\ 1/ / \ / A A_ A \ A / r w r / .Ir 1 A I\m 1 \ , \ r A, Ar { / r A l\ N** \MJ V V l/V V \ / V VV y\W w- V Kv 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 I960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 Figure 2.

Petroleum and natural-gas fields, 1969. A 100 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 Five new fields were designated by the Branch during 1969, and field boundaries were amended on 10 occasions. The new fields were at Bear Flat, Moberly Lake, Sierra, Sunrise, and Two Rivers. Boundaries were changed for the Beatton River West, Clarke Lake, Fort St. John, and North Pine fields in one instance and in two cases to the Inga, Rigel, and Stoddart fields. At the end of 1969, there were 64 designated fields which are listed in Table 22 and shown on Figure 3. All submissions pertaining to drilling operations are studied for approval by the Development Section. Such approvals must be obtained prior to commencement of drilling a well, changing a well name, abandoning a well, or any alteration proposed to change the physical characteristics of a well. When a submission is received by the Development Section, the information, which may include details of the proposed programme, the title under which the petroleum and natural-gas rights are held, and any other relevant requirements of the regulations, is reviewed. With each application to drill a well, a surveyed position must be given which is examined to assure conformation with target and spacing regulations. A spacing area is assigned to the proposed well and, if the location does not meet the target-area requirements, a production penalty is calculated. Any application that is submitted to alter the equipment in a well or the proposed programme for a well is handled in a similar manner. Details of the application are examined and given approval by the various sections of the Branch. Prior to the abandonment of a well, the operator must transmit an abandonment programme to the field engineer for his approval, but all other types of alterations are studied at Victoria, where official records are retained. During 1969, 178 well authorizations were issued. Six of these authorizations were cancelled when the operators decided not to drill the proposed locations. The disposal of salt water produced with petroleum and natural gas was accomplished by evaporation in surface pits or by injection to subsurface formations. Eight disposal wells situated in the producing areas are in operation in the Province. During 1969 there were 3,334,048 barrels injected into the disposal wells and 584,267 barrels delivered to flare pits for evaporation. Water-flood operations to enhance production from oil fields increased in 1969 by 7 per cent. A total of 47,392,661 barrels, including both fresh and formation water, were injected into nine producing pools in the Province. Fields receiving the largest quantities of water were Boundary Lake, 16,148,469 barrels, and Peejay, 14,128,819 barrels. Production Significant gains were made in the production of crude oil and natural gas from British Columbia wells during 1969. Crude-oil production increased 14.2 per cent, compared to 1968, to 25,309,036 barrels and natural gas was up 15.3 per cent to 324,127,117 thousand standard cubic feet. Five fields each contributed over 1 million barrels and in total over 85 per cent of the Provincial supply. These were Boundary Lake, 8,914,827 barrels; Peejay, 5,838,825 barrels; Milligan Creek, 3,601,026 barrels; Inga, 2,714,618 barrels; and Weasel, 1,182,457 barrels, which are all under active water-flood programmes. Declines in production were reported from several smaller fields, notably Bulrush, Osprey, and Rigel. Natural-gas production from the largest producing fields remained nearly constant. The sizeable Provincial increase resulted from new production by the Sierra field and large gains from the Kotcho Lake and Yoyo fields. The aforementioned three fields, plus the Clarke Lake field, all located in the Fort Nelson area, produced 49 per cent of the total. The major producing fields in order of volume PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 101 were Clarke Lake, 102,176,861 thousand standard cubic feet; Yoyo, 31,915,254 thousand standard cubic feet; Laprise, 26,210,563 thousand standard cubic feet; Nig Creek, 19,039,190 thousand standard cubic feet; Jedney, 18,486,525 thousand standard cubic feet; and Rigel, 15,238,425 thousand standard cubic feet. Monthly crude-oil and natural-gas production by fields and pools for 1969 are given in Tables 24 and 25. ■S" _. taP w \ v Aw i ,/ » M ,rh l OIL PRODUCTION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA 1954 to 1969 lac). tfPi i J V ,_, f ,/ WA L_ \f _, 5 Tj VV\, V \ / V i 1 A 1 / 1 ' 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 Figure 4.

Some changes were noted in the production and sales volumes of butane, propane, and sulphur, compared to 1968. A reduction in the butane sales to the United States was one of the obvious differences. General statistics showing well operation and production data are given in Table 26. The monthly dispositions of various petroleum products are shown in Tables 27, 28, and 29. Monthly values to the producers are given in Table 30. Pipe-lines Oil-gathering System The only changes reported for 1969 to the oil-gathering system was the addition of 4 miles to the Trans Prairie Pipelines (B.C.) Ltd. network. Oil-transmission System The throughput volume carried by Trans Prairie Pipelines (B.C.) Ltd. was increased from 53,897 barrels per day in 1968 to 60,157 barrels per day in 1969. Gas-gathering System During 1969, extensions to the gas-gathering facilities from the Kotcho Lake and Sierra fields were put into operation. Gas-transmission System Capacities of the gas-transmission systems in the Province were increased, particularly the Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. line, which was raised from 23,000 million standard cubic feet in 1968 to 44,000 million standard cubic feet in 1969. PIPELINES of BRITISH COLUMBIA Figure 6. Petroleum and natural-gas pipe-lines. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS A 103 Gas-distribution System Expansions and extensions were completed to all Provincial gas-distribution systems during 1969. Oil Refineries Imperial Oil Enterprises Ltd. completed alterations at the loco refinery to increases the cracking capacity to 11,400 barrels per calendar day. Gas-processing Plants No changes were made to the gas-processing plants in British Columbia during 1969. Sulphur Plants No changes were reported in the operation of the sulphur plant located at Taylor. Tables 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35 provide data on the pipe-lines, oil refineries, gas- processing plants, and the sulphur plant. Figure 6 outlines the major pipe-line systems operating in the Province. Well Records Information concerning the petroleum and natural-gas industry in British Columbia is collected and compiled by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch. The data are made available to interested persons, in strict accordance with Division 43 of the Drilling and Production Regulations. Location, elevation, current depth, casing, status, and monthly production of individual wells are released upon request. Other information is held confidential, depending upon the classification assigned by the Branch at the time of approval of the well authorization. Information from any well or portion of a well that is classified as wildcat is available one year after rig-release date. Data from all other classifications of wells are available 30 days after rig-release date. Confidential well information may be released to an interested person if a letter is received by the Branch from the operator of the well authorizing its release. Information is provided by the Branch by publication, examination of Branch records, or reproduction of documents filed. Cost-defraying charges are made by the Branch for these services. The records maintained by the Branch are in constant use by the Reservoir, Development, and Geological Sections; therefore, they must be kept up to date and in a manner suitable for many purposes. As published reports are expanded to meet the requirements of industry and other governmental bodies, the methods of keeping records must be altered. The Branch has representation on the Statistical Sub-committee which was established at the request of the Mines Ministers' Conference in 1955. This committee is composed of representatives from each Province actively engaged in the petroleum industry and of personnel employed by oil companies. The objectives of the group are as follows:— (1) Standardization of forms designed for the same purpose but which are required individually by both the Provincial and Federal Governments under different formats. (2) Standardization of forms to accommodate machine accounting procedures for reporting production statistics to Provincial Governments. (3) Amendment of existing model report forms to conform with present requirements. A 104 MINES AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES REPORT, 1969 (4) Investigation of ways and means to obtain the co-operation of both Provincial and Federal Government agencies and provide early availability of information on all phases of the oil and gas industry. One meeting of the Statistical Sub-committee was held in 1969, when discussions were held concerning the procedures and reports employed by the Provincial authorities. The Petroleum and Natural Gas Branch has adopted many features of the model forms prepared by this committee and uses the following applications and reports:— Form No. Form Name 1. Well Register. 2. Application for a Well Authorization. 3. Application to Amend a Well Authorization. 4. Application to Change a Well Name. 5. Application to Abandon a Well. 6. Application to Alter a Well. 7.
