Well over 600 organizations and individuals have entered in the High Production -- Of Temagami Iron Officials of North American Rare Metals, Toronto, are thinking. of an ultimate year-round production rate of 10,000 tons daily at their iron ore mine now under develop- ment at Scholes Township, in the heart of the Temagami area. The company has decided to em- bark on a $1,000,000 development program at its property, follow- ing extensive surface diamond drilling, metallurgical tests, and intensive studies of the various economic aspects of production, transportation and marketing. Andrew Robertson, president of the company ,said that $225,000 would be spent this year. A 1,200- |} foot three-compartment shaft is to be put down and at least 4,000 feet of lateral work is to be under- taken along with extensive dia- mond drilling. Complete development of this project is estimated to cost $35,- 000,000. Tests made. suggest 400,000,000 tons of ore at the site of 31 per cent iron. The property of 164 patented claims is located in Scholes Township about 45 miles northwest of Sturgeon Falls and 25 miles west of Temagami. The site is also 22 miles from the CNR main line, four-and-a- half miles from an all weather road and close to hydro power and the natural gas pipeline. "We feel that we can turn out high grade iron pellets that will be fully competitive with other iron. ore producers,' said W. A. Carter, general manager. The pro- jected ultimate. annual produc- tion of 66 per cent concentrate iron ore pellets is estimated at about 1.4 million tons. The mine is within 150 miles of shipping facilities on Georgian Bay 'which puts it closer to lower lake steel mills than any of the princi- pal United States iron ranges. The. company has already re- ceived assurances of favorable freight rates all-rail to certain steel mills, which could eliminate the necessity of winter stockpiling. Time schedule calls for comple- tion of the underground develop- ment program and pilot plant tests by September, 1960, Engineering design work and construction of service facilities by October, 1961, while the tentative full scale pro- duction date is April, 1964.
