Extract

In July/August 1981 and February/March 1982 we sampled water for isotope analysis from water-bearing fractures of two mines in Elliot Lake. Permission for sampling was given to Ontario Hydro by Denison Mines Ltd and Rio Algom Ltd, Quirke Mine in conjunction with the CANMET Mine Safety Tests. The purpose of the investigation was to find out whether there is a relationship between the water present in some fractures in a deep mine and the shallow groundwater in the far-field of the mine. The investigation was done in co-operation with University of Waterloo.
