Formerly: Federal Mine, Gaspé Peninsula, Lemieux Township, Gaspé-Ouest Co., Québec, Canada

Sulphide-bearing quartz-carbonate veins spatially associated with felsic dikes.

Gaspe peninsula was the scene of the first work of the Geological Survey, Canada. The founder of the Survey, Sir William Logan, explored it for coal.

In 1909 several prospectors found considerable quantities of lead ore on a hill near Berry Mountain brook, on the site of the Federal mine. In the following year James McKinley staked the hill and proceeded to search for the lode from which the fragments of lead ore had come.

The discovery in 1910 of zinc and lead deposits near the headwaters of
Berry Mountain brook, a tributary of Cascapedia river, revived interest in the mineral possibilities of the peninsula, and the development of these deposits led to a demand for more detailed knowledge of the geology of the surrounding area.

When sinking operations were commenced there were no local men with experience in that class of work and miners were brought from Nova Scotia. Subsequently, however, local labour was employed and a number of men received a training in practical mining.

In 1921 Mr. J. C. Beidelman, Vice President and General Manager, and other officials of the Federal Zinc and Lead mine Company, had the lower levels of the mine pumped out, at considerable expense to themselves, and the company so that all the workings might be examined as well as giving generous gifts of specimens and information about the mine and surrounding area.

At the Federal mine, and at Berry mountain, near the junction of Berry
Mountain brook with Cascapedia river, the plateau has an elevation of about 1,900 feet.
