“New lron Pelleting Plan Scheduled In B.C. Proiect ,

VANCOUVER (CP)—A newly developed | process which» pro- duces pea-sized pellets of highly concentrated iron could’) mean the beginning of a fully-fledged iron and steel industry in west- ‘ern Canada

Officials of Imperia]) Metals and Power Co Ltd. say the process, developed over the last six years by the Lurgi Chemi Laboratcries in Frankfurt, Ger- many, in co-operation with the Steel Company of Canada, will be used in a proposed $43,000.- 009 development planned for | Princeton B.C, 180 miles east ,of Vancouver. zs | Officials say the development will encompass the giant lode- stone mountain iron ore devos- its, well known;to airline pi because of compass deviations caused by. their intense - mag- netic field. v | They say preliminary’ drilling and magnetometer surveys of the lodestone property have lo- cated at least 18,000,000 tons%of ore, with more than 250,000,000 tons indicated

TAKES VARIETY

The Stelco-Lurgi process, “in essence, takes a wide Variety of Iron ores and coal to create the pelleis. which can then be used as high-ouahty” blast/ furnace burden without further proces- sing

Up to now.., pelletization proc- | esses have produced pellets of about 70 per cent iron. The new} pe-cess, however, removes oxy- gen from ferrous metals,” giving highly concentrated iron in an easily manageable form. --that can be fed directly into the fur- nace for economical production * of pig iron or_ steel.

Preliminary tests of the proc-

in Frankfurt have indicated

‘llets of up to 90 per cent can ° _be—produced from samples of ‘Yodestone ore and coal.

R. C. Spall, vice-president of _ Imperial Metals says the’ use of ; such pellets can increase blast furnace production by as much as 23 per cent. -

Oyster Development. Important /

| WANT to talk today about the tremendous potential in the oyster industry, and the part Roy Drinnan has: played in the development at the Fisheries Research Board biolog teal sub-station at Pllerslie .

- But, first a word abmit unusual spring developments. Stan es of this 9ffice brought in a purple violet pansy which picked m his garden Tuesday at noon. Normally,

Stan tells me, it's at least mid-May before his pansies bloom. There was a mass. of bloom Tuesday; though. Does that indicate an early spring? ¥ : Back to my oyster story, some really tremendous pro. gress has been made at Ellerslie in breeding and production of oysters. I don't want to embarrass the man, but Roy Drinnan is the one who is. responsible.

Even this modest man has told me in a conversation “we. had several months ago ‘It's difficult to think of any arnoscel process which potentially is quite -so dramatic as this."’ ! ¢ :
