D - Mining - Transforming Resources - Interpretive plan 2 December 2016

Module Big Idea : We rely on mining to provide ore, or raw material, for our everyday objects and as we search for and extract ore, we change the environment physically, culturally and socially.

Module core messages:

1. If it’s not grown, it is mined.2. We mine large amounts of material to produce small everyday products. 3. Before we can mine, we need to find locations of ore deposits.4. Canadian technologies have changed the mining processes to produce materials economically,

safely and with a social license. 5. Mining technologies developed to extract metals and minerals that satisfy our needs and wants

have changed the physical, social and cultural landscapes.

D4-1-1 Callout text: Deposits that we find today were created by natural processes over millions of years.

D4-1-1 Geological timeline graphic (35 words):

We can note on the timeline when key resources developed, for example: we would make potash in Middle Devonian, Pleistocene (2.4 to 1.8 million years ago) – iron ores, mid-Tertiary to the mid-Quaternary periods (35 to 1.5 million years ago) – nickel ores, 47 to 540 million years – diamonds, etc. (for most common: iron, nickel, copper, gold, silver, etc.) Reference material- (we don’t want to use this exact timeline) http://www.cbc.ca/geologic/teachersguide/GeologicJourneyTRG%20figures.pdf

D4-1-2 Prospector for a day hands-on activities:

D4-1-2-1 Looking for minerals: Coring: Visitors pull up 3-5 cores, and assess what are the real rocks present in the cores (e.g. potash, salt, other). If possible drill, then pull up.

D4-1-2-1 Text: Mission: Remove a core and see if you can find potash and salt.

D4-1-2-1 Prop Caption 1: Potash

D4-1-2-1 Prop Caption 2: Salt

D4-1-2-2 Identifying minerals: Visitors get a first-hand experience interacting with different rock samples, assessing them in ways similar to what a prospector would do. Flip panels reveal which of the different rocks have the desired characteristics, and how prospectors use this information to determine what type of rock their sample is.

D4-1-2-2 L2 text: Mission: can you identify these minerals?

D4-1-2-2-1 Hardness Visitors try to scratch one rock sample (fluorite/apatite) with 3 different materials (calcite, (finger nail); copper, steel to learn about hardness.

D4-1-2-2-1 L2 text: Mission: scratch a rock sample to see how hard it is. 11

Peck Tech, Montreal, Quebec

Artifact no. TBD

D5-1-1 Acap: Designed and Made in Canada by Peck Tech, uGPS Rapid Mapper is a unique laser-based, mobile mapping technology designed to survey underground mines and build 3D maps that can be converted to virtual mines or can be modeled on a PC. The system travels through a mine and scans it very quickly, creating a 3D point cloud data. The data conveys very detailed information on the mine. It allows us to examine the mine inside, but also to step out of the mine and see its model. This extends the applications of the technology from mine planning and safety to assessment of geological data and vertical excavations for narrow-veined deposits.

Munson, Ontario FoundryCobourg, Ontario1867Artifact no. 2015.0117D5-2-1 Artifact and photo Ccaptions on Electronic label (30 words): This is the oldest existing mining car in Canada. This ore car was made in Canada and used at Marmora Mines, one of the most important iron deposits in the 19th century Canada. The cars were built for the Cobourg, Peterborough & Marmora Mining Company around 1867-1870 and were used to transport iron ore mined in the region by rail from Blairton, Ontario to the piers at the Trent River. See images, drawings, and models

D5-2-4 L2 title: Who owns these resources?

35


D5-2-4 L2 text: (20 word ‘Shout out/callouts’) Very short question and very short answer with interesting graphic representing space, under water and Earth in between.

Space: International agreements Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and Moon Agreement 1979 specify that no specific country on Earth owns space resources, and these resources can only be exploited to the benefit of all humans, however these agreements have not been ratified by many countries.

Earth: (specifically in Canada) Most natural resources in Canada fall under the responsibilities of provinces and territories (British North American Act), but some resources for examples off shore, are managed by the federal jurisdiction, while others belong to First Nations. In practice, many government, indigenous and corporate players are involved in managing natural resources in Canada.

Ocean: In general, most countries are concerned with environmental impacts of mining the ocean floor and do not issue permits to companies that attempt to do this other than off-shore petroleum companies. However, many valuable deposits are located in High Seas (outside of, what is called, Exclusive Economic Zone of a country). A United Nations body, the International Seabed Authority oversees these waters and so far issued several (17 up to 2013) licenses.

Transcript:

2:33 to 3:06:

In the 60s, I can remember that NASA sent astronauts to my home town to practice what it would be like on the Moon because there was no vegetation in lots of places. There was no vegetation because in the early days of the mining industry in that community they smelted the iron ore, and they smelted the ore by creating a bed of wood, putting the ore on top of the wood, putting the wood on top of ore, and setting fire to it.

3:40 to 3:49

In the 60s the Steelworkers Union decided that we were going to do something about it, and we forced the company into the revegetation plan.

3:53 to 4:23

I’d say in the 30 years from the time that we were having that fight, within thirty years we went from having landscape that looked like the Moon to the city winning awards for greening and revegetation. That would have never happen without the Union joining up with community activists, joining up with elected officials, both at the provincial and community level, to say that there was an obligation on the company to regreen the environment. These stories, are all part of my life.

D6.3 Video Caption: 20 wordsLife in a Mining Town.

Leo Gerard, President of the United Steelworkers, talks about the union’s involvement in the environmental clean up in Sudbury.
