WASHINGTON—1998 50.1 THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF WASHINGTON This chapter has been prepared under a Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geology and Earth Resources, for collecting information on all nonfuel minerals. In 1998 the preliminary estimated value 1 of nonfuel mineral production for Washington was $583 million, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This was a 5% increase from that of 1997, 2 and followed a 1.8% increase from 1996 to 1997. The State dropped in rank to 26th from 24th in the Nation in total nonfuel mineral production, of which Washington accounted for more than 1% of the U.S. total. Three mineral commodities accounted for about 68% of the State’s nonfuel mineral value: construction sand and gravel, portland cement, and crushed stone, in descending order of value. In 1998, Washington’s rise in value resulted mainly from a $33 million increase in the value of construction sand and gravel and $5.6 million increases each in portland cement and magnesium metal; these gains were offset some by a combined decrease of $14 million in the values of gold and crushed stone (table 1). The only other decrease included a relatively small drop in the value of industrial sand and gravel and marginal decreases in olivine, dimension stone, and peat (listings are in descending magnitude of change). In 1997, the increased values of construction sand and gravel, portland cement, and crushed stone totaled more than the decreases that occurred in magnesium metal, gold, and lime, resulting in the State’s $10 million gain for the year (table 1). All other changes were small and inconsequential to the net result. Based on USGS estimates of the quantities produced in the 50 States in 1998, Washington remained first 2 of 2 States that produce olivine; third of 3 magnesium metal-producing States; fourth of 4 States that produce diatomite; and ninth in gold. The State dropped from 5th to 6th in construction sand and gravel. In 1998, Washington continued to lead the Nation in the production of primary aluminum with an estimated 1.15 million metric tons, about a 2% increase from that of 1997. The State accounted for nearly 31% of the U.S. total primary _____________ 1 The terms "nonfuel mineral production" and related "values" encompass variations in meaning, depending on the minerals or mineral products. Production may be measured by mine shipments, mineral commodity sales, or marketable production (including consumption by producers) as is applicable to the individual mineral commodity. All 1998 USGS mineral production data published in this chapter are preliminary estimates as of February 1999 and are expected to change. For some mineral commodities (for example, construction sand and gravel, crushed stone, and portland cement), estimates are updated periodically. To obtain the most current information, please contact the appropriate USGS mineral commodity specialist. A telephone listing for the specialists may be retrieved over the Internet at http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/contacts/ comdir.html; by using MINES FaxBack at (703) 648-4999 from a fax machine with a touch-tone handset (request Document #1000 for a telephone listing of all mineral commodity specialists); or by calling USGS information at (703) 648-4000 for the specialist's name and number. All Mineral Industry Surveys—mineral commodity, State, and country—also may be retrieved over the Internet at http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals; facsimile copies may be obtained from MINES FaxBack. 2 Values, percentage calculations, and rankings for 1997 may vary from the Minerals Yearbook, Area Reports: Domestic 1997, Volume II, owing to the revision of preliminary 1997 to final 1997 data. Data for 1998 are preliminary and expected to change, while related rankings may also be subject to change. aluminum production. Raw steel was also produced in the State, both metals being processed from materials received from foreign and non-Washington State sources. The Washington State Division of Geology and Earth Resources 3 (DGER) provided the following narrative information. Production data in the text that follows are those reported by the DGER based on the agency’s own surveys and estimates. They may differ from some production figures reported to the USGS. In the metallic mineral industry, the Kettle River Project of Echo Bay Minerals Co. was the only major gold mining operation in Washington in 1998. The company mines ore from the Lamefoot and K-2 gold deposits northeast of Republic in Ferry County. A total of about 734,000 metric tons of ore was processed at the company's mill near Republic, compared with about 771,000 tons in 1997. Total gold recovered in 1998 was 3,660 kilograms, up from the 4,040 kilograms recovered in 1997. Echo Bay processed about 488,000 tons of ore and recovered 2,200 kilograms of gold from the Lamefoot deposit, an exhalative/replacement-type deposit in Permian rocks. The company processed more than 244,000 tons of ore and recovered 1,300 kilograms of gold from the K-2 deposit, an epithermal vein-type deposit in Eocene volcanic rocks. At the end of 1998, Echo Bay reported proven and probable ore reserves at Lamefoot of 586,000 tons containing 3,920 kilograms of gold. Proven and probable ore reserves at K-2 are more than 476,000 tons containing 3,450 kilograms of gold. The company continued its extensive exploration drilling program on and near its operating mines and on other properties in the region. Battle Mountain Gold Co. continued the process of obtaining permits to put the Crown Jewel gold deposit in Okanogan County into production. This process proceeded in earnest following release in 1997 of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed mine. The company intends to begin construction of the mine and mill after obtaining the necessary permits. Cominco American Inc. initiated the process of reopening its Pend Oreille zinc/lead mine in northern Pend Oreille County through preparation of an EIS commensurate with rules and regulations in effect in 1998. The anticipated release of the draft EIS was expected sometime in the summer of 1999 with the final EIS to be released sometime late in the year. Cominco announced a reserve at this Mississippi-Valley type zinc-lead deposit of 5.9 million tons with an average grade of 8.9% zinc and 1.6% lead. Cominco is planning to reopen the mine in 2002. _____________ 3 Robert E.

PRESIDENT ’S REPORT

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, and Summer’s lease hath all too short a date. — SHAKESPEARE, SONNET 18 (1609)Our gratitude to all that attended and the candidates who participated in our recent spirited All Candidates Meetings for the provincial ridings of Langley and Langley East. Candidates responded to a protean series of questions submitted online and from the floor. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is a non-partisan organization and we encourage all of our members and the public to exercise their democratic right to vote. Your vote is your voice and you have an opportunity to be heard at the ballot box on May 9, 2017. We also acknowledge the support of our co-sponsors: the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The often pernicious effect of partisan political campaigning can obscure the fact that we are all Langley residents first. The Board of Directors wishes good luck to all of the contenders on election day and we affirm that regardless of party affiliation: we are all British Columbians and

we all share a vigorous passion for the enhancement of our Province and the betterment of its citizens in Langley’s community of communities.Having just celebrated Volunteer Week in British Columbia, I seize this opportunity to be mindful of and thank all of our past, present, and future volunteers at the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce: from the Board of Directors, Committee Members, to our Ambassadors, for their indefatigable commitment to our organization and tireless service to

Langley.The Government Relations Committee and the Board of Directors have been working arduously on policy initiatives that we will be bringing forward later this month at the BC Chamber of Commerce Annual General Meeting in Victoria. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce is submitting six policy resolutions to be debated on the floor by all of the local board of trade and Chamber members of the BC Chamber of Commerce. For more information on our policy initiatives and advocacy efforts, please contact our Executive Director, Colleen Clark.Save the date for the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce 86th Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, June 20, 2017. Our keynote speaker is Marco Iannuzzi, noted philanthropist and wide receiver for the BC Lions football team. The Agenda also includes the election of our Board of Directors, my unnecessarily verbose swan song, and the inauguration of our incoming President, Jack Nicholson.A rising tide lifts all boats.Scott Johnston, President
