niE AUSTIN BROOK IRON-BEARING DISTRICT,
NEW BRUNSWICK.
INTRODUCTOKY.
Field work by tlie Mines Branch, in the Austin Bniok
iron-bearing district, New Brunswick, was commenced in the
autumn of 1906, when a magnetometric survey, covering an
area of about one square mile, was made by the writer. This
survey led to the discoverj' of several ore deposits not pre-
viously known. During the months of June and July, 1910.
this survey was extended by the writer, with the assistance of
Mr. W. M. Morrison.
The total area covered by the two seasoiKs' field-work it*
about 2 square miles. Inasmuch as a preliminary report, and
magnetometric map covering the area surveyed in 1906. have
already been issued by the Mines Branch, the objective of the
present report is to give, in more detail, the results obtained
during the two field seasons indicated above. Two maps have
been prepared to accompany the report: one shows the distri-
bution of the isodvnamic lines o' the vertical magnetic intensity ;
while the other shows the geolog> of the area. Phe magnetic
observations were taken with a Thalen-Tiberg magnetometer,
the distance between the points of observation varying from
25 to 100 feet, depending on the local complication of the
magnetic field. ^)n the geological sheet, aji attempt has been
made to outline the various ore de])osits, a,^ indicate<l by the
magnetometric survev ; but since the greater part of the area
occupied by the ore bodies is drift covered, it has been possible
t« verifv their outline only in a few places, by the a(^tual obser-
vation of outcrops and contacts. Hence they are fi.)t. as a rule,
well defined.
LOrWTION.
The iron ore deposits are situated in the county of Cilou-
cester, about 23 miles southwest of the tnwn of Bathurst. in
the vicinity of Austin brook, a small tributary of tlie Nipisi-
guit river' The elevation of the district is about 350 to 500
feet above sea-k^vel. It* main topograpliical feature is the
Nipisiguit vallev. with generally stecj) bank.s. rising U> a height
of 100 to 140 feet above the rjver. Back from the river,
the country becomes comparatively flat, with occasionally
LdlTh'^f^'l'^^i"'^!^"^'' generally having a northerly
and ^utherly trend The greater part of the area is drift
covered, or occupied by muskegs, and is thickly wooded with
spruce, cedar, balsam, poplar, birch, and maple.
HISTORY.
The first discoveiy of ore was made in 1897, by Mr Wm
Hussey of Bathurst. In 1902. this gentleman-tokether with
«l.rTi ^"" -1 ""[ Bathurst-securod "Rights to Search" upon
several 5 mile locations in the district. During 1903, reore-
sentatives of the Dominion Iron and Steel Co visited the
property, and some trenching and test-pitting were done. In
the autumn of 1906. at the request of O. Turgeon, M.P the
writer was instructed bj' the Director of the Mine,' Branch to
make a magnetometric survey of the district. The result of
this survey showed that the field contains a number of mac-
netic iron ore deposits, some of which are of large extent. In
order to fully ascertain the quality of these ore bodies, the
Provincial Go^ ernment of New Brunswick was petitioned for
the use ot the diamond drill belonging to the Province The
petition was granted, and during the vear 1907 seven di 1-
holes^wero put down. The records of five of these holes are given
in the followmg pages. In November of 1907. the Austin
lirook property passed into the control of the Canada Iron
<- orporation. Limited. A branch line, connecting the propertv
"^ IV ^^o^'il^'"*'''*''?'^^ '■'^^^^"^y ^t Blacks Cut, about 4 miles
south of Bathunst, has been built, the distance from the mine
to Blacks Cut being about 17 miles.
An ore dock for the transhipment of the ore has been com-
pleted by the Company at Newcastle. It consists of a 13,000 ton
ore pocket. The ore is delivered from the pocket through a
series of chutes into a horizontal bucket conveyer, operated
on a track. Thi« conveyer delivers the ore into an outer 150
ton pocket, situated on a dock. From this pocket the ore is
loaded into the ves.sel by means of a self-' -nming chute The
ore dock ha,s a^^,orage capacity of 18.00C ,s, and its loading
capacity IS 3.000 ton. per hour. The ra....ay haul from thi
mine to Newcastle is 57 miles. During the last two years the
totlowing shipments have been made :—

GEOLOGY.
The greater part of the area under consideration is under-
lain by quartz i)ori)hyrj', generally of schistose structure ;
owing to the intense folding and shearing to which it has been
subjected. Its general strike is about north and south, with a
steep dip towards the west. Associated with the porphyry
are bands of chloritic and sericitic schists, which may be
merely alteration phases of the porphyry. Generally, the
porphyry shows distinct phenocrysts of feldspar and quartz,
in a dense grey matrix.
In the southern and western part of the area eruptive
rocks of basic character are found intruding into the porphyry.
These rocks may be classed as gabbro or diabase. They are
usually of a greenish grey colour, with a granular to fine tex-
ture. Other intrusions in the porphyry are numerous quartz
veins. These are also very common in the ore. but are rarely
seen in the gabbro. They varj in size from a fraction of an inch
up to several inches in width.
Sedimentary rocks, consisting of black and grey slates,
highly tilted, and conformable to the porphyry, outcroj) on
the banks of the Nipisiguit river at Great falls, about 1| miles
belo'., the mouth of Austin brook ; but have, so far, not been
observed within the area under consideration. Similar rocks
are also exposed about one mile above Austin brook ; and
farther up the Nipisiguit river, at the Narrows, fragments of
black slates were seen embedded in the porphyry. The por-
phyry seems, therefore, to be hitrusive in this slate formation,
the geological age of which is early Paljeozoic, probably Ordo-
vician.'
CHARACTER OF ORE.
The ore of the district consists of a very fine-grained
siliceous magnetite, mixed with a considerable amount of hem-
atite. It is often found interbanded with jasper an*.' a green
slaty gangue material, which give the deposits a conspicuous
bedded structure. Veins of quartz are also — as already men-
tioned — of common occurrence, and generally follow the bed-
ding planes of the ore. The metallic iron content of the various
layers varies, therefore, considerably, ranging from 59 down to
35 per cent : the average being about 43 to 47 per cent.
The average phosphorous content is about 0-8 per cent,
with the sulphur ranging from 03 to 0- 1 per cent ; but locally
ee Suminao' Report of tlie Uuologicul Survey for 1909. p. 218.
i
the sulphur content is much higher. This is especiallv the case
near the contact of the ore with the country rock, where layers
of iron pyrites, varying in thickness from a fraction of an inch
up to several feet, often occur.

lenttee in the quartz porjihynr, and showH, in common with thiH,
a prominent parting of MPhifltoRity, the plane of achiiitoeity
being parallel to that of the countr>' rock. The ort; IxxiieH lie
in three mi»in groups, which for reference have b":»n numhc' id
I. II, and III.
Group I 18 situated wnut of Austin brook, and consiHtH of
one ore body, the total length of which m about 2,160 feet.
The northern end of this deposit is well exposed, rising abrupt-
ly to a height of 76 feet above Austin brook. Farther south
it is covered by gravel of considerable depth, but outcropH again
about 100 feet from the Nipisiguit river, where its contact
with the schistose jwrphyry is well exposed. The horizontal
width of the ore body is, who: .• drill hole No. 1 was sunk, lOfl
feet. This hole was put down vertically on the hanging wull
about 250 feet south of the northern end of the deposit . !♦
struck the ore body at a depth of 35 feet, v \d continued in tli.
iron-bearing formation to 162 feet, when the foot-wall wah
reached, giving a calculated thickness to the ore body of alxmt
86 feet. Drill hole No. 2 was sunk vertically, ibout 700 feet
south of No. 1. After going through gravel, etc., it struck the
ore body at a depth of 49 feet, and reached the foot-wall at 102
feet, giving a calculated thickness to the iron-hearing formation
of about 60 feet. Drill hole No 3 was located on the hanging
wall of the deposit, about 150 feet from Nipisiguit river, and
drilled vertically to a depth of 49 feet, giving a calculated width
to the iron-bearing formation of about 8 feet. Drill hole No.
4 was sunk 380 feet west of No. 2, at an angle of 70°, the bearinir
of the hole being S. 80° E,
The total depth attained by the hole was 527 feet. It
struck the iron-bearing formation at a deptli of 434 feet, and
continued in it to 514 feet, when the foot-wall was reached,
givmg a calculated thickness to the iron-bearing formation of
about 64 feet.
Group II lies east of Austin brook, and is made up of several
ore lenses, v hich for reference have been numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4.
No. ! deposit outcrops oij the hillslopc toward.s the Nipis-

MINING OPERATIONS.
From what has been said in regard to the extent of the
various ore deposits, it is evident that a large quantity of ore is
available in this district, which can be mined under very favour-
able conditions. The principal difficulty to be overcome, how-
ever, is to get a concentration process adaptable to the ore,
a large percentage of which — as the foregoing analyses indicate —
is, in its natural state, of too low grade to be marketable.
After some experimenting the operating concern has
adopted a jigging process, and a mill has been erected to treat
70 tons of crude ore per hour. This has lately been described
by Messrs. W. F. ('. Parsons and E. M. Archibald, cr aeers of
the (>anada Iron Corporation in the Canadian Mining Journal,
from which the following particulars are taken :-
" Tin- present miiiiiifi; operations are confined to No. I
deposit, which, rising about 75 feet above Austin brook, is
being worked as an open quarry with a face of about 60 feet.
The ore is loaded by a steam shovel into 2\ ton cars, and tram-
med a short distance to the foot of an inclined trestle. On this
trestle an up-and-down car haul is operated, consisting of
two endless chains. The loaded cars conveyed to the top of
the trestle deliver the ore through a re\ olving tipple into a
hopper, from which it passes directly to a No. 8 K Gates crustier,
where it is cruslied to pass a 3h inch ring, and then delivered on
to a 24 incli belt conveyor disci ging into the boot of a steel
bucket elevator, which elevates it .o the top of another building,
where it is discliarged on a small grizzly in order to remove the
fines. Tlienee \hv ore passes through a revolving screen 4 feet
in diameter and 6 feet long with 2 inch round holes. The undcr-
size froju this goes directly to a conveyor belt discharghig into a
large storage bin. The oversize passes into a set of Taylors
132-23- ■-'
in
12
I
rolls 54 inch diameter and 24 inch face. The opening between
the rolls is 1 inch. The product from the rolls is elevated by
a steel Inicket elevator to a second screen 4 feet in diameter. 6
feet long, and with 2 inch holes, from which any oversize is re-
turned dtrectly to the rolls. The undersizo going to an 18 inch
conveyor belt, which dis'^harges into the storage bin. From the
storage bin the ore is discharged through a revolving drum feeder
into a 70 feet high bucket elevator, which in turn carries it to
the top of the concentrating mill. The course of the ore in the
concentrating mill is best shown by the accompanying flow
sheet. The ore having been discharged from the bucket elevator
is flushed into a series of revolving screens by a heavy stream
of water and classified into five sizes — oversize of 1^, f. ^, |,
and undersise of J inch. The oversize from the l\ and f inch
screens goes to three 900-B jigs. The concentrates produced
by the three jigs are dischargedon toacouvoyor belt andconveyed
to the loading bin. The tailings are run through a set of Taylors
rolls (26), 42 inch diameter, 16 inch face, having an opening
between the roils of f inch, thence elevated by a bucket elevator
to the third revolving screen (14), where it joins with the ori-
ginal feed, which passed througli the two first trommels. The
oversize from the ^ inch trommel passes to 900-B jig (22, 23).
Tlic concentrate is discharged to the conveying belt for removal
to the loading bin, and the tailings re-treated on one compartment
(24)of No. 5 900-Bjig.
The oversize of the i inch .'screen goes to the second com-
partment (25) of No. 5 900-B jig, me tailings from which are
re-treated on a 3 compartment jig (28). The undersize from
the J- screen is treated on 29 and 30, both 4 compartment Hartz
jigs. The hutch product and concentrates of the last compart-
ments of these jigs are considered as middlings and are flushed
back to the bucket elevator, and, returning through the | inch
trommel, are treated for a second time. The average iron content
of the ore from the mine is given by the officials to be about
45 per cent. In order to overcome to some extent the high loss
of iron in the tailings some slight rearrangement of the flow
-sheet has lately been made by which (28) the three compartment
Hartz jig becomes a primary jig and (24-25) become a .second-
ary jig, the concentrates from which are run to a separate
stockpile, with an average iron content of about 46 per cent.
The water consumption of the mill is about 2000 gaUons per
minute. The water is used over and over again and only about
500 gallons of fresh water per minute are added to maintain
a certain degree of purity. The fresh water is pumped to the

top of the mill into the trommel house by a Knowles 12 x 12 x 10
inch duplex steam pump, while the circulating water is being
handled by an 8 inch single stage American WeUworks centrifugal
pump, the circulating water being elevated from the settling
tanks in the basement to a large launder located just above
the highest jig level.
The 900-B jig is 14 feet long, 14 feet wide, and 10 feet high,
with two separate jigging compartments, and a centre com-
partment, containing an elevator which recovers the concentrates
produced, elevates and discharges them to the belt conveyor.
The sieve is 60 x 60 inches, supported on grate bars, and supports
a bed of ore, ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches, depending on
the size of material being jigged. The plunger is of a heavy
cast iron construction, 54 inches in diameter, working in a heavy
iron cylinder with four inlet water valves 8 x 10 inches. An
adjustable eccentric provides for a variation in the length of the
stroke. A 4 inch stroke at 100 r. p. m. is necessary to properlv
stratify a bed of 2 inch ore. The plunger shaft is fitted with
tight and loose pulleys to enable the jig to be put out of commis-
sion without affecting other jigs. A worm conveyor carries the
hutch product, or what passes through the holes in the bed
screeas, to the centre compartment, where it is delivered to the
concentrates ele\ator. The heavier material on the jig bed
rapidly works its way to the bottom and is drawTi off at the front
of the jig through a draw-off valve. 48 inciies long, while the
lighter matorial jiasses over an apron on the top of the bed.
Tlic draw-off valve is capable of wide adjtistment. The con-
centrates after passing the draw-otY vah e fall down a 45° slop*-
to the elevator boot in the centre compartment.
Tlie three (U)m{)artment Hartz ji^ has a sieve bed 30 x 42
inclics and runs at 125 r. j). m.
Tlio four compartment Hartz has a sieve bod of 32 x 42 inches
and runs at ISO r. p. m. and the concentrates are drawn off at
the bottom of each bed by an adjustable draw-off valve.
The power plant of the mine consists of five tubulai- boilers
rated at 125 H.P. each, one Inglis('orli.sscomiK)und 16 x 32 x 36
inches steam en<?inj'. which operates tiie bank-head apparatus
and crushing machinery, one 18 x 20 inch lu/bl) Corliss engine
operaiing the mill, nnd one ,\llis-( halmers air C(rii|)ressoi' with
a capacity of 1290 cul)if feet per minute of free air at 120 r p. m."
