Lynn Lake celebrates reopening of arena BY IAN GRAHAM EDITOR@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

Lynn Lake’s Jim McLellan Arena reopened for its first full season since 2011-12 on Dec. 7 thanks to the efforts of volunteers and some grant funding from the provincial government and the Manitoba Community Services Council. The town council decided earlier this year, after discussions with community residents, that the local arena was a cornerstone of the community and could not remain closed any longer even though it wasn’t possible for the municipality to absorb all the operating costs. The solution chosen was to operate the arena on the basis of volunteer support with additional expenses – mainly heating and lighting – to be covered by arena membership fees, scheduled event fees and volunteer-driven fundraising drives. “In order to make this day and the reopening of the arena possible, the Town of Lynn Lake would like to extend our warmest thanks to the 30 or so community members who have made the desire to reopen this facility for the 2014-15 season a reality,” said Lynn Lake Mayor James Lindsay at the grand reopening ceremony, which was attended by around 200 residents, close to one-third of the northern community’s total population. “The reopening of the arena today would not be possible if the community had not come together as a group to make this happen. This community has a long history of volunteering, and to find tasks that need doing one need not look very far. Once we identify a goal we would like to achieve, we rarely ask, ‘How much will it cost? ’ or ‘Who will we find to do it?’”

Skilled labour to perform repairs at the facility was provided by volunteers and the town also received capital funding through the province’s Community Places grant program and the Manitoba Community Services Council. Lynn Lake’s council passed a resolution on Dec. 2 establishing the Lynn Lake arena board as a committee of council. It includes newly acclaimed councillors Trevor Kruzer and Paul Grimmer as well as three members from the community at large. The town council is seeking interest from three residents who would like to be nominated as arena board members. “The mandate of this board includes providing direction and guidance for the operation of this facility with the goal of continued selfsustainable operation of the facility year-round, and not just at times when the ice surface is in place,” said Lindsay at the reopening ceremony, noting that having the arena in operation is good for the region as well as Lynn Lake itself. “This facility will not only serve the Town of Lynn Lake this season, but it will also welcome visitors from across Northwest Manitoba and beyond in the spirit of camaraderie that has become the key to neighbourly relationships not only here, but with our friends and families from Black Sturgeon Falls, Leaf Rapids, South Indian Lake, Brochet, Lac Brochet, Tadoule Lake, and beyond.” The grand reopening ceremony also included a special guest, Santa Claus, who skated with those in attendance and provided treat bags for the children at the end of the event.

MKO concerned over legislation to replace band constables BY MOLLY GIBSON KIRBY MOLLY@THOMPSONCITIZEN.NET

The provincial government introduced legislation in November that would create a new First Nations safety officer program designed to help prevent crime in remote communities through enforcement of First Nation bylaws and provincial laws. “With the federal band constable program ending next year, the government of Manitoba is prepared to introduce a new program to provide important police services for First Nations communities,” said Justice Minister James Allum in a Nov. 26 press release. “This is an opportunity to work with First Nations and the government of Canada to replace the federal program with a more appropriate model, tailored to the specific needs of individual First Nations communities.” Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak (MKO) research director Michael Anderson says a band constable usually wears more than one badge. “The first appointment as a ‘band constable’ would be by chief and council to serve as a bylaw enforcement officer to enforce bylaws enacted by chief and council under the Indian Act. The second appointment held by the band constable would be by the province of Manitoba [Minister of Justice] as a special constable who holds the protections and powers of a peace officer under the provincial policing legislation.” Anderson says many of the band constables and special constables are graduates of the band and community constable training program, that was until recently, available through the University College of the North. Grand Chief David Harper stated in an MKO press release on Nov. 26 that special constables should be part of the provincial police service agreement (PPSA). “I am glad

to see the provincial minister is now expressing concern over Canada’s decision to terminate funding for the band constable program effective April. 1, 2015,” said Harper. “Instead of trying to replace our First Nation special constables with ‘safety ofﬁcers,’ the province and Canada should recognize and include the crucial policing role of our special constables as part of the provincial police service agreement.” The Provincial Police Act was replaced by the Police Service Act on June 1, 2012. Harper says this happened without the engagement of MKO. “The provincial police service agreement (PPSA) was renewed for 20 years effective April 1, 2012 without any engagement whatsoever with MKO First Nations and without making aboriginal policing a clear priority in the agreement.” Anderson says MKO wants secondary policing services included in the act. “The PPSA does not address the secondary policing services in support of the RCMP as presently provided by provincially appointed Special Constables. MKO has requested that this role be costed and included at Annex 1 of the Manitoba PPSA.” Allum says “this new model has the potential to improve safety in the affected communities and put a greater emphasis on crime prevention.” Currently there are 31 communities in Manitoba being served by the band constable program, which is being terminated on March 31, 2015. Anderson says MKO has been trying to get updated information about where the constables are located, but the government has not responded. “MKO has presented several written requests to the Manitoba Department of Justice to receive a current update on the status and number of persons who hold a continuing appointment

as a special constable in each of the MKO First Nations. Manitoba has not responded to MKO’s written requests, despite several reminders and follow-ups. MKO is presently preparing an information request under the Manitoba Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act to obtain this information.” On Dec. 5, MKO and Allum met to speak about the legislation that would create the safety officer program. “MKO summarized the significant shortcomings with the bill, particularly regarding that Bill 5 contains no provision for the appointment of First Nation persons as peace officers to carry out the font-line policing and secondary policing roles in support of the RCMP that are presently being carried out by provincially-appointed Special Constables,” says Anderson. MKO also requested that Bill 5 be immediately amended to replace all references to “First Nation safety officers” with “band constables” or “First Nation special constable.” Anderson said Allum requested that MKO place its detailed analysis in writing and offered to engage MKO and MKO First Nations in discussing Bill 5 in particular and policing in the MKO First Nation communities in general. Currently, Bill 5 will only appoint someone as a peace officer when they are enforcing provincial laws on reserves, which are not specified in the bill. MKO has asked the minister to identify the proposed list of prescribed provincial enactments as soon as possible. In a Nov. 27 document, MKO wrote that this bill does not address their concerns. “MKO was not engaged in any way in the development of the principles and elements of the bill and first reviewed the bill after it was introduced in the Legislative Assembly on Nov. 26, 2014,”

stated the document. Furthermore, the document says Bill 5 requires “that any agreement relating to a ‘First Nation safety officer program’ must address ‘financing of the program.’” MKO says “Bill 5 makes no explicit commitment that the $1.5 million in band constable funding being transferred by Canada to Manitoba effective April 1, 2015, will be committed by Manitoba toward the funding of agreements under Bill 5 or will be allocated toward such agreements in a proportion similar to the existing band constable funding.” Band constables and First Nation special constables serve remote communities as first responders and have provided secondary policing for over 45 years. Anderson says their role needs to be a priority. “The health and safety of every citizen of the MKO First Nations is a paramount concern to MKO and to the MKO First Nations. It is the core vision of the MKO First Nations that the MKO First Nation communities are the safest place for the citizens of the MKO First Nations to live. It is also the vision of MKO that policing services will be based on a community policing model and will be served by a First Nation selfadministered police force supported by First Nation Special Constables.” Anderson goes on to compare the Alberta PPSA and the Manitoba PPSA. “By any objective standard of measurement applied to determine the adequacy of policing services, the MKO First Nations are significantly ‘under policed’ in terms of numbers of police officers per capita, policing expenditures per capita, average response times to calls, etc. The Alberta PPSA places aboriginal policing as one of the top three policing priorities. The word ‘aboriginal’ does not appear in the Manitoba PPSA.”

Hudbay Symposium tells Lalor story Lalor has been described as a mine that evolved from “drill hole to mill hole” in five short years. However, a symposium reviewing the high temperature alteration, technology, and innovation that brought it to that point could equally be defined as from “sea floor to drill core” in 1,890 million years. It is said that Lalor is one of the most intensely charted deep VMS ore bodies in the history of mining; that in addition to geophysics, an endless variety of geological investigations have been performed on the deposit throughout its journey to production. All have assisted in better understanding the ore body, in addition to determining the best methods of exploring for similar deep VMS occurrences. The mine, its geology, and its innovations were all discussed in-depth at a seminar held at Winnipeg’s Delta Hotel throughout the day on Saturday, Nov. 22. The event mirrored one held Oct. 16-17 in Vancouver, B.C. and gave presenters the opportunity to contrast and explain historic breakthroughs and versatility in mine finding technology, as well as the geology of the Lalor deposit. The conference began at 8:30 a.m. with Hudbay’s chief geophysicist, Peter Dueck, welcoming the crowd and outlining the event. Relaxed and witty, Dueck explained that the discovery and steady exploration of the Lalor ore body was “very ambitious and unique to the industry.” After summarizing some changes to the event program and laying out the agenda, he called forward the first presenter of the morning – Dr. Alan Bailes. Bailes is a well-known and widely respected geoscientist who has over 35 years’ experience studying the nature and origin of VMS deposits. He was direct and perceptive in his presentation of the geological setting for Lalor’s rich zinc/gold VMS deposit, wherein he explained that the Snow Lake Arc Assemblage (SLAA), and the Chisel Basin itself, began forming over 1,890 million years ago through the closing of the ocean floor and the high temperature reaction and subsequent discharge of VMS (Volcanic Massive Sulphides, or the minerals we mine).

Marc Jackson

My Take on Snow Lake mjaxon@gillamnet.com Bailes opined that even with the immense amount of exploration done on the area and the mines which have subsequently been found, statistics show that the Snow Lake area should have more VMS mineralization. Following Dr. Bailes, Koop Geotechnical’s Dave Koop gave an all-encompassing summary of historic exploration activity in the Snow Lake camp, as well as the TDEM (timedomain electromagnetics) techniques that aided in the discovery of Lalor Mine. Koop, who is the owner and president of Koop Geotechnical, is also a Geophysical Time Domain Technician. He traced mineral exploration in the area back to 1794, when British fur trader, surveyor, and map-maker David Thompson ﬁrst recognized the geology on Reed Lake while wintering near the lake. He noted that suggestions of mineral potential increased in 1914 when Dick Woosey and Mike Hackett discovered the occurrence that led to Kiski-Wekusko gold mine on the east side of Wekusko Lake. Covering early to current geophysical techniques, Koop moved through a variety of surveys from the 1950s to 2007, which eventually pinpointed the Lalor deposit. Erin Tracey – a sales and marketing executive with CGG Surveys – trailed Koop and discussed CGG’s HELITEM (state-of-theart helicopter-borne timedomain EM system) test results from Lalor. She noted that Lalor was a tough target to survey because it is so deep, but their system got a broad response from the ore body. Jean Legault, chief geophysicist for Geotech Ltd., was next and he covered ZTEM and VTEM survey results over Lalor. ZTEM (Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic) is an airborne AFMAG (Audio-Frequency Magnetics) system

Legault noted that this was the first time that geotech has been able to speak about the results of their surveys as they were locked down (lockdown is a protocol used to protect proprietary or confidential information). Of the two surveys, Legault said, that the ZTEM worked best of the two in mapping the Lalor deposit. After coffee, Jonathan Rudd of Gap/Discovery spoke on the results of a HeliSAM survey done on Lalor. HeliSam is a high resolution helicopter-borne magnetic acquisition system that is suitable for larger-scale surveys. Rudd said the survey was flown in August of this year and that the Lalor deposit was outlined almost perfectly by

this system. Rob Langridge, who is the senior associate geophysicist with Lamontagne Geophysics Ltd., overviewed UTEM5 and UTEM3 (a form of transient electromagnetic [TEM] systems which use a borehole probe or a surface coil to carry out assessments) technology and the surveys done on the area. Interestingly, Mr. Langbridge stated that earlier UTEM technology would have seen the Lalor deposit in the 1970s. Syd Visser, president and senior geophysicist for SJ Geophysics, spoke of the Volterra Borehole TDEM, Surface TDEM, and 3D-IP test surveys done on Lalor. Visser talked about a July 21-31, 2014 survey on the DUB33 drill hole (the 1992 hole that gave Jerry Kitzler an inkling of what might be sitting at depth in the Chisel Basin) using the Volterra Borehole System.

He stated that a response was noted. At this point in the program, Geotech’s Jean Legault presented the KEGS Scholarship (Canadian Exploration Geophysical Society) to University of Manitoba geology and geophysics student Yana Tyomkin. The presentation was made in memory of Bob Frazer, a former chief geophysicist with Hudbay, who was an innovator in his ﬁeld and a mentor to many. After lunch the program moved into the borehole and seismic presentations. The attendees ﬁrst heard from Josh Lymburner of Crone Geophysics. He noted that there were 200 Crone BHEM (Bore Hole Electromagnetic) surveys done on Lalor. He overviewed the equipment used and discussed the deepening and wedging of a number of the drill holes.

Dr. Denis Wood, a Geophysicist with DigAtlantis, was the next presenter and he summarized their borehole TEM survey at Lalor. It came to light (for me anyway) during this presentation that many of the contractors doing survey work at the mine site used the same ground loop (loop 5 which is referred to as the historic loop) for their signal. Roman Wasylechko the director of strategic business development at Abitibi Geophysics spoke on how borehole gravity (a diagnostic tool used to investigate the presence of excess mass around a borehole) was used to provide a tonnage estimate at Lalor. Gilles Belleﬂeur of Natural Resources Canada – GSC reviewed the multicomponent 3D seismic survey done over the deposit. He noted that the wave reﬂection generated by the Continued on page 8

Rosetta’s amazing journey to touch down on comet BY LARS MIRANDA SPECIAL TO THE THOMPSON CITIZEN

The European Space Agency’s 12-year 1.4 billion Euro international cometary mission is the most ambitious and challenging project ever undertaken in its 50-year history. “Rosetta is the sexiest mission there has ever been,” said Matt Taylor, 25, the Rosetta Project Scientist, during a live interview at the European Space Agency’s Rosetta Science Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany on Nov.12. The exhausted but proud physicist was interviewed during the European Space Agency’s live broadcast of the historic touchdown by the Rosetta spacecraft’s Philae lander onto Comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko, an unprecedented event for astronomers that was being simultaneously broadcast and streamed live across the world by ESA TV and NASA Live TV. “She is sexy, but I never said she was easy,” said Taylor, who was describing his beloved Rosetta spacecraft, and her mission. He participated in the co-ordination of the landing event in Darmstadt, Germany. His arms and legs are covered with tattoos, including one on his leg showing the Rosetta spacecraft. He was referring to the Rosetta orbiter’s 12year journey, which is full of seemingly impossible challenges requiring delicate and spectacular manoeuvres never attempted before, including its greatest challenge, deploying and landing its small solar-powered landing craft onto a comet 510 million kilometres from Earth while all moving 18.3 kilometres per second. Taylor was right: Rosetta still has two years to go, and its 10-year journey and recent landing weren’t easy. On Nov. 12, the Philae lander almost rebounded off the comet into space. It hit and bounced off the surface of Comet 67P three times and ﬂew up one kilometre, before softly landing on its side downrange from its target in a shallow depression under the shadow of a cliff on the comet’s dark, dry and dusty surface, which is covered with cliffs, craters and boulders, including one the size of the Empire State Building. The historic landing event was organized, coordinated and executed simultaneously by the ESA’s nervous and excited staff of hundreds of scientists and engineers at three of its control centres: the Rosetta Mission Operations Centre at the ESA’s Space Operations

Illustration by ESA/ATG medialab The Philae lander is a solar-powered landing craft with a polygonal body made of carbon ﬁbre and covered with solar cells. It is one cubic metre and weighs 100 kilograms. It was built by a consortium led by the German Aerospace Research Institute (DLR) for the ESA. It carries 10 science instruments to conduct experiments, sample, analyse, and measure the physical properties of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It has a drill, anchoring harpoons and several digital cameras. It landed on the comet on November 12. Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany; the DLR’s (German Aerospace Research Institute’s) Lander Control Centre in Cologne, Germany; and the CNES’s (French National Centre of Space Studies’) Lander Science Operations and Navigation Centre in Toulouse, France. During the separation, descent and landing of the Philae lander from the spacecraft onto the comet, which took seven hours, three media events were broadcast live from the ESA’s Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt; the Lander Control Centre at DLR in Cologne, and the CNES at the Cité des Sciences in Paris, France. Comet 67P/ChuryumovGerasimenko has a roughly ellipsoidal (rugby ball) shape, but looks more like a rubber duck, or two lobes attached by a slender neck. Its nucleus is roughly 5 x 3 kilometres, and its largest lobe is 4.1 kilometres long, while its smallest is 2.5 kilometres long. It has a volume of 25 cubic kilometres and a mass of 1,013 kilograms. It is a short-period comet trapped in a 6.5-year orbit around the sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Earth. The Rosetta spacecraft is a large black box that weighed 3,000 kg fully loaded. It’s about twice the size of a big refrigerator (3 x 2 x 2 metres). It has a 2.2 metre communications dish and two giant rotating solar panels, each 14 metres long. It is carrying 165 kg of scientiﬁc payload and carried its 100-kilogram Philae lander for a 6.5 billion kilometre journey to comet 67P. The ESA’s Rosetta mission is a hair-raising 12year mission that involves over 50 contractors from

14 of its 20 European member states, and from North America, including NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, and a Canadian company in Saskatoon, Sask., SED Systems, which built three of the ground stations the ESA is using to communicate with its Rosetta orbiter. They’re located in Cebreros, Spain; Malarque, Argentina, and New Norcia, near Perth, Australia. The purpose of the Rosetta mission is to conduct the most detailed and close study of a comet’s nucleus and environment ever attempted, by orbiting around comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, while using the Rosetta spacecraft’s 11 sophisticated science instruments to conduct experiments and map its surface, and by landing on it with its Philae lander, which has another 10 highly specialized instruments to conduct experiments and take measurements of the comet’s interior, surface and atmosphere. Jessica Painter, a teacher at R.D. Parker Collegiate in Thompson, is aware of the Rosetta mission’s beneﬁts, because her students are studying comets and asteroids. “It has lots of potential to increase our understanding of everything astronomical,” Painter said, “such as origins of the universe, planets, impacts of asteroids, and how our Earth, and everything came to be, and even the origin of life.” She teaches the mineral science vocation program at RDPC, which includes the courses - mine technology, astrogeology, geology 2 and survey 1 and 2. She also teaches Grade 9 science. The Rosetta scientists

are studying comets because the volatile material in these primitive snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust indicates they were formed far from the sun and have been preserved at low temperatures since their formation. Thus, they represent the closest we can get to the conditions of the early solar system. But Painter said the Stardust mission took some dust from Comet Wild 2 that changed that view about the origin of comets. “The standing theory was that comets were created in extremely cold areas,” Painter said. “But they had found from the grains from Comet Wild 2’s dust, crystalline structures that were formed in extremely high temperatures.” The wider diversity of particle densities, the large crystals of olivine, pyroxene and iron/nickel sulﬁdes, and the osbornite from the Stardust mission samples from Comet Wild 2 suggest that comets are not composed entirely of primitive volatile materials, but rather a mixture of materials formed at all temperature ranges in areas very near the hot young sun and very far from it. “Theories that we assume to be correct are constantly changing,” said Painter. But she is conﬁdent cometary missions like Stardust and Rosetta are advancing and opening up new areas of science. “This is the time for astronomy,” Painter said, “because technology is allowing us to go further than we have ever gone before.” Brian Borton, a Grade 12 physics teacher at RDPC, believes the suc-

Parker Collegiate in Thompson. cess of the Rosetta mission will encourage more people to get involved and help expand the ﬁeld of space exploration. “I think it’s an awesome mission,” said Borton. “Being able to plan the physics behind getting to the comet at the right time and at the right speed is a huge feat.” Borton is teaching his Grade 12 physics class about orbits, gravitational forces, exit velocities, and the transfer of gravitational energy. “Tomorrow, we will discuss the sling shot effect, also known as the Hohmann transfer,” Borton said. Since its launch in March 2004 by an Ariane-5 rocket, the Rosetta spacecraft looped around the sun ﬁve times, and made

three gravity-assist ﬂybys of the Earth and one of Mars. It did this to extract energy from those planets’ gravitational ﬁelds to reach the comet. On the way, Rosetta encountered and studied two asteroids, 2867 Steins and 21 Lutetia. Then Rosetta had to go to sleep to save power. It had gone so far out, where no solar-powered spacecraft had gone before, 667 million kilometres from the sun. So, it went into hibernation mode for 2.6 years. It had to really slow down before it reached comet 67P on August 6, to rendezvous at a distance of 100 kilometres. The closest it got was 10 kilometres from the comet’s surface, and it was Continued on Page 8

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 1 Corinthians 13:11 When you think of a child, what comes to mind; an infant, toddler or small human who is precious to their family? In God’s eyes we are all His children, no matter how young or old. When God looks at us He sees precious little humans who bring Him joy when we seek Him as our Father in Heaven! If we seek Him, we will ﬁnd Him and experience inexpressible joy. One may relate this to the love a child gives their parent. When your child seeks you for comfort and love, how does that make you feel? God is our Father, He feels this way about us when we seek Him also. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are ﬁlled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your

faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8-9 If God is able to view us as His children, then we shall treat one another as brothers and sisters. Even those who don’t yet know Jesus as their Saviour, God still loves them and considers them His children. If a child makes a mistake we have compassion on them due to their innocence, assuming they might not know any better. Regarding adults who make mistakes, Jesus gives us a wonderful perspective. He said “Forgive them Father, for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34 He was defending the people who were beating him as he carried His cross. Jesus had mercy on them as adults. He was quick to

give grace and love to those who may not deserve it, for those who don’t believe in Him, for those who don’t yet know the truth, and He continues to do so. “For they do not know what they do.” This verse always strikes me deeply because of the level of compassion Jesus had on his persecutors. When we consider this, we have to ask ourselves, how do we view others? Do we see them as children who do not know what they do? How would God want us to see others? Even those in the faith who may lack maturity in Christ, do we lovingly correct them as our brothers and sisters with grace and mercy? Christmas is a time of hope, a time to remember

the gift that God gave to us, his one and only Son Jesus Christ. When Jesus was brought unto this earth, he was born a Saviour to Mary who trusted in God and accepted Jesus as her own. Jesus led a life without sin and therefore became the perfect sacriﬁce for us. He trusted His Father and continued to love and show compassion upon those who least deserved it. Can you do the same this Christmas? Trust in God, in his Son Jesus Christ to give you new eyes as you look to your brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who may not yet know the truth.

Continued from page 4 technology gives a 3D view of the ore body. He got a bit of buzz going in the venue when he said that the survey seemed to show the ore body is rising to the north, rather than continuing at depth and that this required a further look. Jim Craven, also of Natural Resources Canada – GSC, followed and discussed seismic interferometry – a new tool, which does not deploy a source such as dynamite or a Vibroseis truck, but generates responses by listening to ambient noise. He advised that it had a number of possible uses, including safety and exploration. Following the afternoon coffee break, the program moved to 3D Interpretations and Dr. Denis Woods gave a return presentation; however this time on SQUID FLTEM (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device Fixed Loop Transient Electromagnetic) which is an extremely sensitive magnometer. Wood also compared and contrasted each of the Lalor exploration methods. He said that the bad news was that they all see things differently, but the good news is that they all do dissimilar things well.

Ernst Schetselaar, a research scientist at Natural Resources Canada – GSC, gave the final presentation of the conference. Unlike the day before at the mining convention, the fire alarm did not go off and he was able to deliver his entire presentation. Schetselaar’s discussion was on 3-D high-resolution common earth modelling of Lalor, and he conveyed how the Lalor deposit provides an ideal setting for developing and testing the multi-source geophysical (3D seismic, potential field and electromagnetic) survey, geophysical borehole, geological, lithogeochemical and physical property data that has been acquired over the Lalor deposit since 2008. He said it is one of the best geophysically surveyed properties in Canada. This ended a long day of survey statistics and discussion of geophysical technology; however, prior to closing the symposium, Peter Dueck addressed the assembly. He spoke about the lessons learned from the Lalor discovery, noting that exploration grid lines may be too short to recognise deep anomalies. He showed, via a graph, the difference between placing grid lines at 3.5 kilometres as opposed to

1 kilometre. The potential for what is missed with shorter lines was a powerful sight to see. In respect to this, Dueck said that the message that can be gleaned from the work is that historically tested anomalies may have been inadequately explained due to old technology. To drive home this point, he said that over the history of the Flin Flon Snow Lake Camp, more than 30,000 holes have been drilled and 30 mines have resulted - one mine for every 3,000 holes! He added that more than 60 per cent of the holes that were drilled tested old HLEM, VLF, and Turam anomalies, and it appears that some deposits could have easily pinched off and then, unbeknownst, continued at depth. Dueck then gave examples of some area’s shallower undeveloped deposits; they included Watts River, BUR Nickel, Tower, and Talbot. Concluding, Dueck took time to acknowledge a number of people involved with the discovery of Lalor. They were Bob Frazer, whose contribution, he said, “needed no explanation”. Jerry Kitzler, the Snow Lake area’s chief geologist for 20-plus years; he championed further exploration of the

Chisel Basin and drilled DUB033. Craig Taylor, the project manager in 2007; he recommended drilling DUB168, which was the Lalor discovery hole. Chris Roney, the project manager in 2002, who supported the Chisel Basin (Lalor) DPEM surveys. Dave Koop who did the Lalor DPEM surveys and whose reputation and enthusiasm, he said “was remarkable”. Kelly Gilmore, the exploration manager who approved drilling DUB168. Brian Janser, the project geologist who spent years prior to, and during 2007, working in the Chisel Basin. Alistair Callegari, the supervisor of geophysics who contoured Lalor’s two bull’s eye anomalies. Dan McKeachnie, the project geophysicist who, since 1982, tested new ideas and techniques, along with Alan Vowles. Finally, Ted Baumgartner the exploration manager for 25 years, who was a great believer in the potential of the Chisel Basin. Alan Vowles was involved (but unable to attend) in organizing the symposium, and as a result was not mentioned in this group of greats, but it goes without saying that his contributions to the Lalor ﬁnd match them all.

Philae Lander mission a huge success Continued from Page 5

22.5 km from the comet, when it launched its Philae lander. Despite its drill’s inability to penetrate through the comet’s solid surface, and the downward thruster and harpoons not working, the ESA considered the Philae lander mission a huge success, because nine of its 10 science instruments completed their measurements and experiments, and the onboard cameras shot many great images. They all sent back their data within the 64 hours allowed by the solarpowered battery, whose solar cells are now partially covered. The battery is rapidly depleting because of its cold and dark location. The MUPUS probe recorded a surface temperature of -153 º Celsius. The lander went into hibernation mode on November 15. It is unlikely it will wake up

Jessica Painter again to establish contact with the orbiter, given the low recharge current available from the solar cells, unless the mission controllers’ repositioning of its main body works to get more sunlight. Meanwhile, the orbiter will continue to manoeuvre around the comet, collecting dust and gas samples, and making observations as the comet approaches the sun and heats up. Comet 67P will reach its closest point in August 2015, 186 million
