Cesium, an alkali metal, occurs in lepidolite, pollucte (a hydrated silicate of aluminum and cesium), and in other sources. One of the world s richest sources of cesium is located at Bernic Lake, Manitoba. The deposits are estimated to contain 300,000 tons of pollucite, averaging 20% cesium. 

The element is much more abundant than was thought several years ago. It is now considered to be the 16th most abundant element in the earth s crust. Rubidium occurs in pollucite, leucite, and zinnwaldite, which contains traces up to 1%, in the form of the oxide. It is found in lepidolite to the extent of about 1.5%, and is recovered commercially from this source. Potassium minerals, such as those found at Searles Lake, California, and potassium chloride recovered from the brines in Michigan also contain the element and are commercial sources. It is also found along with cesium in the extensive deposits of pollucite at Bernic Lake, Manitoba. 

In 1987 Seatde Metro purchased 10 new American built M.A.N. coaches powered by methanol. Six GM buses powered by DDC methanol engines entered revenue service at Triboro Coach in Jackson Heights, New York, 2 GM buses in Medicine Hat Transit in Medicine Hat, Manitoba, and 2 Flyer coaches in Winnipeg Transit, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. An additional 45 DDC powered methanol buses were introduced in California as indicated by Table 4. Figure 11 shows the distance accumulation of alternate-fueled buses in the four California transit properties. 

The lignite deposits of North Dakota and Montana extend into Canada as far as Saskatchewan. Canadian deposits are also located in Alberta, Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, and Manitoba. Production by open-cast mining, ca3.5 x 10 t in 1975, was 10.8 x 10 t in 1989.

Manitoba and Cs (like Rb) is mainly obtained as a byproduct of the Li industry. The intense interest in Li for thermonuclear purposes since about 1958, coupled with its extensive use in automotive greases (p. 70), has consequently made Rb and Cs compounds much more available than formerly, annual production is in the region of 5 tonnes for each.

FIGURE 4.3 Recent changes in concentrations of total mercury in axial muscle of walleyes from 13 boreal lakes in northwestern Ontario and Manitoba, Canada. Standardized concentrations for 50-cm walleye sampled during 1996-2000 are plotted against standardized concentrations for fish sampled during 1977-1983 (data are for reference lakes reported in Johnston et al. 2003). Each point below the diagonal line, which has a slope of 1.0, represents a lake where the standardized concentration declined between the 2 sampling intervals.

Except for a relatively small (<500 million ton) lignite deposit in northern Ontario s James Bay area, the Central region (i.e., Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba), which accommodates some 70% of the country s population and the greater part of its industry, is devoid of coal and the Maritime Provinces (principally Nova Scotia) contain less than 1% of Canada s total coal - mostly Carboniferous hvb coal which closely resembles Its Eastern US counterparts.
