      Historique

      The Ontario Iron Ore Committee was established on October 25, 1922 within the Department of Mines, and consisted of the chairman, Lloyd Harris, and five other representatives.

      The Committee concluded that the magnetic iron ore deposits containing 50% iron were commercially viable although high in sulphur, that some deposits of banded and other low- grade magnetites were also viable, and that some siderite ores could be treated to obtain a first class product. Other recommendations (or observations) regarded the capacity of Ontario's furnaces and the potential market for sintered ore in Ontario. Although the recommendations were specific to Ontario, much of the report is given over to a description of contemporary mining methods and technologies (including many illustrations of plants, equipment and mined goods), and the potential impact these could have on the low- grade materials in Ontario. One whole chapter is given over to a discussion of the furnace runs of "Moose Mountain briquets". The Moose Mountain mine was located near Sellwood, north of Sudbury, and they used this as an example of the potential for mining iron ore in Ontario and the results that could be obtained.

      The Committee was dissolved in 1923.

      Fonctions et activités

      The Ontario Iron Ore Committee investigated the extent and quality of low-grade iron ore deposits in Ontario, the best means to commercially benefit from such deposits, and what steps should generally be taken in this area to facilitate the use of such deposits for the production of iron. The committee was urged to complete its report in the current session of the legislature, and therefore did not have the time to conduct research into the topic. Rather, they reviewed and compiled existing research.
