Bird River chromite story links Falconbridge to Manitoba claim pool
In 1942 Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting bought Page-Sweezey chromite after diamond drilling. Discovery threads run from Lappin at Lac du Bonnet to Brownell and a Geological Survey field party in 1942. Falconbridge later finances a large exploration plan, forming a new company and expanding drilling toward 1000 feet. Government study confirms good road grade and gravel supplies to support tourism and fishing access near Bird River.

New Brunswick Ends Mining Year With Record Growth
New Brunswick closed a year of unprecedented mining activity with over 40 000 claims staked and 14 companies incorporated totaling 38 million dollars in capitalization. Payrolls rose by about 10 million as roads and mines expanded in remote areas near Bathurst. A 13 mile road north of Bathurst supported the base metal strike while diamond drillers sought manganese and titanium. Titanium and uranium reports buoy provincial planners.
