Construction Materials

Yves Bellemare

This section provides a description of explorationand mining activities conducted in the search for, andextraction of, architectural stone, decorative aggregate,and crafting stone. Furthermore, it includes a list ofquarries in operation (Appendix, Table II). However, thedescription of work focused on the search for sand andgravel or crushed stone operations is excluded.

Production

Figure II shows the location of quarries in operationin 2002, and Table II in the appendix provides a briefdescription of each operation.

A total of 69 active quarries, producing architectu-ral stone from anorthositic, charnockitic and graniticsuites (dimension stone), but also quartzite, dolomiticmarble and calcitic marble (decorative aggregate), steatiteand soapstone (for sculptures and refractory plates), slate(roofing tiles and slabs), as well as limestone, sandstone,schist, and gneiss (ashlar and landscaping stone) wereinventoried.

With nine quarries, the Rivière-à-Pierre area (NTS31I/16 and 31P/01) remains the most important miningcamp for the extraction of dimension stone. Three otherregions were also active, namely the Saint-Nazaire area(NTS 22D/12), with five quarries, the Stanstead area (NTS31H/01) with four active quarries, and the Saint-Alexis-des-Monts – Saint-Didace area (NTS 31I/06), with threequarries.

During the year, two new quarries began produc-tion operations. In Bois Township, north of Rivière-à-Pierre, Granite D.R.C. and Stone Vogue Internationalstarted an exploration and development program whichled to the opening of a quarry face (Appendix, Table II,project 32). Conclusive results led to the start-up ofoperations to extract a coarse-grained, brownish greyporphyritic farsundite of the Rivière-à-Pierre Suite. Thestone, destined for the production of dimension stone, isalso used to produce landscaping stone, sawn andcalibrated slabs and curbstone. It is marketed under the

name Canadian Caledonia and is similar to the Deer Brownvariety produced by A. Lacroix et Fils Granit. The site isnow known as the Boca quarry. In Campeau Township,southeast of the town of Témiscaming, Les Pierres duNord, following development work conducted during thepast few years, now extracts green muscovite-bearingquartzite (Appendix, Table II, project 4). The stone is usedas a constituent in the production of modified stoneproducts and is sold to Granirex in Thetford Mines. Thestone is also used as decorative aggregate and forlandscaping.

Worker training in the stone extraction andprocessing industry in Québec has been a constantpreoccupation for industry stakeholders. Two trainingprograms are now available to meet these needs. The Écoledes métiers de la construction de Montréal offers a1,440-hour course focused on stone extraction and cuttingtechniques. The Centre de formation Le Granit, locatedin Lac Mégantic, offers a professional certificate (DEP)in stone cutting. This training program lasts one year.

Exploration

New ReportsTwelve new reports that describe prospecting and

development work completed over the last few years weresubmitted by mining title holders as assessment workreports to the Ministère des Ressources naturelles du Qué-bec. Glendyne (Table 2.1, project 2) identified new unitsof fine-grained slate near its quarry in Notre-Dame-du-Lac-Long.

The Department also published three documents thatcontain sections describing prospective areas for archi-tectural stone. According to Petryk (2002, page 44), marblelimestones assigned to member 3 of the Lime Ridge For-mation in the Dudswell area are an attractive target.Specifically, prospects identified for their industrial limepotential may also constitute prime exploration targets fordimension stone (Allen Petryk, personal communication).

In the Lac des Polonais area north of Mont-Laurier,a brownish red, augen-textured or porphyriticmonzogranite of the Serpent intrusive Suite has the properattributes to justify mineral exploration work (Nantel andPintson, 2002, page 31). In 2001, following the release ofpreliminary results from the geological mapping survey,

76

this monzogranite was the focus of exploration for itspotential as dimension stone.

In the Saint-Jean-Baptiste-Viannay and Amquiareas, assessment work helped define the potential fordimension stone, ashlar, and decorative aggregate ofsandstones of the Val-Brillant and Indian Cove forma-tions. In the Saint-Paul-du-Nord area, similar work wasundertaken to assess units of meta-arkose (leptynite) andgranitic gneiss in the Saint-Paul-du-Nord and Moulin àBaude formations, and to outline the regional potential ofthese formations. A few sectors with significant potentialfor dimension stone were identified (Bellemare, Togolaand Lapointe, 2002).

ExplorationFigure 2.1 shows the location of 85 exploration

projects brought to our attention in 2002. Project descrip-tions are listed in Table 2.2.

The Polycor Group was very active in 2002. Thecompany acquired several mining properties in Québec.The year’s highlight was an announcement made by theFTQ Solidarity Fund to invest $11.4 million (Le Soleilnewspaper, October 30, 2002) to acquire specializedequipment for stone extraction and processing. The inau-guration of a stone resin unit at their Saint-Sébastien plantadds another dimension to mining activities for old andnew varieties of stone. Over the last few years, thecompany has looked for marble limestone deposits toproduce dimension stone and ornamental stone. With thisin mind, and prompted by a study conducted by theDepartment (Bellemare and Jacob, 2001), six miningproperties were acquired in the Gaspésie region in 2002.The Port-Daniel (two sectors), Clemville, and Mariaproperties (Table 2.2, projects 76 to 78) were looked atduring the year. Limestones sampled belong to the WestPoint, La Vieille, and Bonaventure formations and exhibitdifferent colours and textures. In early 2003, the companycompleted a market study to orient future developments.It also acquired two properties north of Saint-David-de-Falardeau which contain an anorthosite, assigned to theLac-Saint-Jean anorthositic Suite, that exhibits bluish orcopper shimmering highlights. The most extensive workwas undertaken in three sectors of a vast property in theeastern half of NTS sheet 22D/11 (Table 2.2, project 47).In Pinsonnault Township, the company continued asampling program, undertaken in 2000, on a brownmonzogabbro (Gaudreau et al., 2001, p.76, site 20). Thisproperty, identified as Brun Kodiak (Table 2.2, project30), is subject to a mining lease application (BEX 402).In Bois Township, stripping and sampling was carried outin two sectors (Table 2.2, project 11) to test a blackishgrey, coarse-grained, porphyritic quartz mangerite of the

Rivière-à-Pierre Suite. Positive results prompted thecompany to submit a mining lease application (BEX 401).

During the year 2002, A. Lacroix et Fils Granitcontinued its extensive exploration and developmentprogram in the Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci area (Table 2.2,project 5). This is the second work program undertakenon this property since 1996. The company opened twoquarry faces to sample and test-polish a bluish grey,shimmering, granoclastic anorthosite. This stone issomewhat lighter-coloured than at the initial site. Theproperty, underlain by rocks of the Morin AMCG Suite,was initially prospected by the Gagnon brothers in theearly 1990’s.

In 2001, Granit Yoguy initiated a sampling programon a greenish grey farsundite belonging to the Rivière-à-Pierre Suite. The company continued to develop itsproperty, identified as Rustic Green (Table 2.2, project6), by building an access road that leads to a suitableextraction site. The site was stripped and sampled, andthe stone is similar to that found at the initial discoverysite. Polishing tests gave positive results and the stonewill be used for panelling, tiles, and monuments. Blockextraction is scheduled to begin in 2003.

2329-1677 Québec (Granitslab) sampled ananorthositic gabbro in Gendron Township (Table 2.2,project 45). Blocks extracted from the initial working facein the fall of 2001 (Perreault et al., 2002, p.81, site 14)were shipped to the company’s plant in Stanstead forpolishing tests. Additional extraction conducted in 2002demonstrated that conditions are difficult at this site. Thecompany later acquired part of a mining property, locatedin a similar geological setting, held by Gervais Simard,who was prospecting for mineral occurrences. In a suitablepart of this property, a second quarry face was developedand tests demonstrate that the stone is much moremassive.

There were numerous exploration projects in theSaguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean region. In addition to Polycor’sproject in NTS sheet 22D/11 described above, 21 projectswere carried out in this vast region. Pauline Godin andRaymond Cloutier continued their work undertakenmany years ago in an area southeast of Saint-André-du-Lac-Saint-Jean (Table 2.2, project 40). They oriented theirefforts to the west of the Vert Saint-André quarry. Herethey found a greenish grey, coarse-grained, porphyriticmangerite. The stone, somewhat lighter-coloured than theVert Saint-André variety, shows a beautiful surface whenpolished. The results of the 2002 program may lead tomore important work. Lionel Lefebvre conductedprospecting and stripping to assess a leucocratic bronzitegabbro’s potential for dimension stone and funeral

77

2monuments (Table 2.2, project 28). The stone is uniformin tone and texture and varies from blackish brown tobrownish black depending on the cut face. The grain sizeis fine or coarse, depending on the sector. Geologicalmapping outlined two bodies that appear to be distinct.The western boundary of the main body, and the volumeof stone available, remain to be defined. Block samplesdestined to be cut and polished will be required to fullyassess this stone’s potential and to orient future work.During the year 2001, Maurice Tremblay explored aproperty in the Saint-Henri-de-Taillon area (Perreaultet al., 2002, p.81, site 34). The rock is a black,porphyroclastic anorthosite similar to the Noir Taillonvariety. In 2002, he stripped an area and sampled blocksfrom a quarry face in a sector located north of the 2001study area (Table 2.2, project 36).

In the Côte-Nord region, 17 exploration projects forstone were undertaken in 2002. Over the past two years,the number of projects has significantly increased in thisregion where the potential to discover and extract plutonicand metamorphic rocks is tremendous. Mario, Marceland Gilles Bourque assessed a rock described asepidotized and hematized fault gouge for its ornamentalstone potential (Table 2.2, project 63). After stripping andsampling, using a diamond saw, polishing tests wereundertaken to determine the aesthetic qualities of this rock,identified as a marble variety on the stone market.Additional work is required to demonstrate the potentialof this stone, but preliminary results are promising.Michel Vaillancourt carried out stripping and diamondsaw sampling on massive outcrops of pinkish grey,migmatized gneiss (Table 2.2, project 61). Promisingresults prompted Granitslab to acquire the property. Blocksampling, cutting and polishing tests on slabs arescheduled for 2003. Donald Bérubé and Claude Rou-leau undertook similar work on their mining propertylocated near the property held by Michel Vaillancourt(Table 2.2, project 62). Sawing and polishing tests onblocks are also scheduled for 2003.

In addition to the four exploration projects initiatedby Polycor, five other projects targeting limestone werecarried out in the Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie regions.In the Gaspésie region, Michel Bilodeau, Claude Vachonand Roland Fulham (Table 2.2, project 80), AndréLiboiron and Pierre Tremblay (Table 2.2, project 79),Georges Reid (Table 2.2, project 73), and theFRAPMGIM (Table 2.2, project 74) began prospectingfor various facies of limestone belonging to the West PointFormation. Results are encouraging and additional workis scheduled for 2003. These should lead new players toexplore in an area where no dimension stone productioncurrently exists. In the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, AndréLiboiron began a project to prospect for calcilutites and

siltstones of the Saint-Léon Formation (Table 2.2, project67). In this area, where three operations currently extractsiltstones of this formation to produce landscaping stone,exploration for dimension stone has been scarce over theyears.

In the Estrie region, the Vert Mégantic II project(Table 2.2, project 22) generated negative reactions fromcertain tourism proponents since the property is locatednear the Parc du Mont Mégantic (La Tribune newspaper,June 6 and 7, 2002). The objectives of this project,spearheaded by Claude Vachon and Michel Bilodeau,are to compare the mineral and textural features of agreenish grey alkalic syenite with a similar rock extractedby Scotstown Granite between 1949 and 1954. Thiscompany produced monument stone that weathers overtime when exposed to atmospheric agents. Preliminaryresults demonstrated that the mineral constituents of thetwo stone varieties are similar. However, a sample fromthe Scotstown Granite quarry exhibited mineralcharacteristics indicating significant hydrothermalalteration, which may explain the rapid degradation ofstone extracted from the Scotstown quarry.

The Chibougamau area, which has been traditionallyexplored for metallic deposits, now joins the list of areasin Québec explored for their stone potential. A project byGlenn McCormick, Huguette Bouchard and Granit CRouleau (Table 2.2, project 26) focused on assessing theornamental stone potential of polygenic conglomerates ofthe Chibougamau Formation. Maurice Tremblay (Table2.2, project 25) looked at an intermediate intrusive rockof the Barlow pluton.

Industrial minerals

Henri-Louis Jacob

Production

In the industrial mineral sector, twenty mines orquarries were in operation in 2002. Industrial mineralsproduced in Québec include: asbestos (three mines), high-purity limestone and dolomite (six quarries), titaniumminerals (including ilmenite and titanium slag), graphiteflakes, ground mica and salt (one mine or quarry each),brine from the Junex well in Bécancour, and sulphurrecovered as sulphuric acid in non-ferrous metal smelters.Table III and Figure II provide a brief description of eachindustrial mineral operation.

Preliminary data indicate that in 2002, the totalvalue of industrial mineral shipments stands at $646.4 mil-

78

lion, compared to $666.4 million for 2001. This declineis largely attributable to the asbestos industry, whichrecorded a 15 % drop in shipments due to fiercecompetition on international markets. The asbestosindustry was also affected by a 31-week interruption atthe Lac d’Amiante operation due to a lock-out, then thesuspension, in October, of operations at the Jeffrey mine,which placed itself under the protection of the Companies’Creditors Arrangement Act. Operations resumed inDecember for 16 weeks, during which time the companywill process stockpiled ore. This temporary productionwill allow Thyokol, a NASA supplier, to build up strategicreserves for at least ten years.

Graphite shipments also experienced a relativelysharp drop, attributed to reduced demand in the refractoryindustry and the fierce competition of Chinese producers.In this context, Timcal Canada Inc., the only graphiteproducer in Québec, reduced, from seven to five days,the work week at the Lac-des-Îles mine. Timcal Graphitealso invested US$10 million for a new graphite processingplant in Laval. The plant will process graphite from theLac-des-Îles mine and from imported graphite ore.

Increases in shipments of mica, ilmenite, silica, andsalt were noted. In the salt industry, a new player, JunexInc., began extracting natural brine from a well inBécancour. Junex is also sinking another well in Sainte-Angèle-de-Laval. This well is scheduled to go into pro-duction in 2003. Brines extracted by Junex are used fordust-control and as de-icing agents.

Finally, Luzenac permanently shut down its talcoperation in Saint-Pierre-de-Broughton. Flotation testsconducted on the talc ore aimed at removing all asbestosfibres did not yield conclusive results, which led thecompany to abandon its grinding and flotation plantproject.

Exploration

Thirty-seven exploration projects targeting fifteendifferent commodities (rocks or minerals) were reportedin 2002 (Figure 2.2 and Table 2.3). Most of these projectsconsist of grassroots prospecting and sampling, whichwere carried out, for the most part, either directly orthrough the various regional mining funds, with fundsprovided under the Mineral Exploration AssistanceProgram. The most commonly prospected commoditieswere: silica (11 projects), talc and steatite (6 projects),limestone (6 projects), and alumino-silicates (andalusiteand sillimanite) (4 projects).

Strong demand for high-purity silica used in theproduction of silicon metal and granules with a high

brightness index generated several stripping and samplingprograms on quartz veins and quartzite bands. The latter,in nearly all cases, proved to be too small or too impure tojustify additional work. Bulk samples for industrial testing(projects 109 and 92) were taken from one large quartzvein located in Low Township, in the Outaouais region,and from an exceptionally pure quartzite deposit locatednear Fermont.

Pilot studies on graphite ore from the Lac Knifedeposit, initially scheduled for 2002 by Mazarin and itsAmerican partner Graftech, were postponed due to lowerthan anticipated demand for batteries using flexiblegraphite. The two samples collected in 2001, totalling3,500 tonnes, are stored in Fermont.

SOQUEM Inc. commissioned Met-CHEM CanadaInc. to update the feasibility study concerning developmentof its apatite-ilmenite deposit in Sept-Îles (project 115).The deposit, delineated by drillholes in the late 1990’s,contains estimated reserves of 107 million tonnes at agrade of 6.0 % P2O5 and 8.4 % TiO2. Now that NorskHydro has abandoned the project, SOQUEM Inc. issearching for new partners.

Graymont Calc Inc. continued its efforts to bringinto production, in 2003, a large high-purity limestonedeposit located on the Rang des Canadiens, 4 km fromSaint-Adolphe-de-Dudswell (project 101). This year, thecompany completed the access road linking the quarry toits lime production plant in Saint-Adolphe-de-Dudswelland extracted a bulk sample for tests in its lime kilns.Extraction operations are scheduled to begin at the newquarry in 2003.

Peat

Pierre Buteau

In 2002, 22 peat producers were active in Québec,harvesting peat from forty peatlands, located mainly inthe Bas-Saint-Laurent, Côte-Nord, and Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean regions. Total shipments in 2001 reached10.7 million 170-dm3 bags, for a total value of $55.4 mil-lion. Preliminary data for 2002 suggests a significant risein shipments of nearly 13 % (11.4 million 170-dm3 bags),for a total value of about $62.9 million. Québec still rankssecond among peat-producing Canadian provinces.

The production season started exceptionally late thisyear, since most producers began harvesting in mid-June.The first month was difficult given the frequent rainfallthroughout Québec. Fortunately, nearly all the producing

79

2areas went through dry spells during the second half ofJuly and August. In the end, thanks to a rain-free earlyfall, the production season was very good in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region between Rivière-Ouelle and Rimouski, aswell as along the north shore of the St. Lawrence, west ofBaie-Comeau. Producers located east of Rimouski andBaie-Comeau, on the other hand, experienced a verydifficult season, in some cases barely reaching 30 % oftheir normal production. Lac-Saint-Jean producersexperienced an average year, with close to normal pro-duction figures.

Bas-Saint-Laurent

Tourbières Berger Inc. began marketing peat soldin the form of extruded granules. These granules can bespread using conventional devices and help to restore orimprove the quality of lawns thanks to nitrogen-enrichedelements which are added during the granulation process.A professional range of granules was also developed forgolf greens. This company also produces peat-basedanimal feed, produced in the form of granules, designedfor moose hunting. Finally, Tourbières Berger Inc.proceeded with the acquisition of TourbièresSaint-André of Saint-Alexandre.

Premier Tech, the parent company of PremierHorticulture, acquired Chronos Richarson PackagingBusiness (England). This firm specializes in the designand manufacture of packaging equipment for powderedand granular material. This acquisition makes PremierTech one of the world leaders in the field of bulk materialhandling and packaging.

Finally, four companies were not in productionduring the summer 2002. These include La tourbièreRio-Val and Tourbières de la mer in Saint-Fabien, aswell as Tourbières Mouska and TourbièresSaint-Alexandre in Saint-Alexandre.

Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean

Although Tourbières Blocs Dorés from Saguenay(La Baie area) did not produce any blocks this year, it wasable to sell a fair share of its stockpile. The company iscurrently restructuring its operation and is also developinga handling and packaging plant near Montréal, where itsentire production will eventually be processed.

North Shore of the St. LawrenceEstuary

Les tourbes M. L. from Rivière-du-Loup acquireda few properties from Québec Inc. 9006-1474 (Tourbiè-

res Torland) in Clarke City. Development work isexpected to begin next summer. Terrassement Minganof Sept-Îles became the first producer of Black FrozenPeat in Québec. This is a type of decomposed bulk peatwhich, after having been extracted and laid out in thinlayers, is exposed to the cold during an entire winter (cold-dried). The material then takes on a flaky texture and doesnot harden upon drying, like regular humified peat.Furthermore, this company has developed a system toproduce mega-blocks of high-fibre peat (42-inch cubes).A total of 1,200 blocks were produced and the companyis currently developing new markets for this type ofproduct.

Tourbières Lambert completed renovations at itspackaging plant in Les Escoumins. Operations are nowfully automated. Furthermore, the company developed atechnology at its two facilities in the Côte-Nord region toproduce what it calls Peat Nuggets. This is a very coarsematerial, characterized by an excellent porosity network,used in light potting soils.

Exportations Daniel Sage Inc. of Port-Cartier builta new permanent packaging facility. This company, whichproduces vacuumed peat, focuses an important part of itsactivities in the production of block peat. In August 2002,its entire production had already been sold, mostly onoverseas export markets. Another interesting marketdeveloped by this company targets manufacturingcompanies that build sludge ponds for the pulp and paperindustry. Block peat is used in the initial construction phaseof these ponds as well as in the closing phase once theponds are filled.
