  • Ontario Must Assess the Impacts of Mines and Smelters Before They Are Built!
    ONTARIO MUST ASSESS THE IMPACTS OF MINES AND SMELTERS BEFORE THEY ARE BUILT! Submission on a proposed list of projects which will be subject to the comprehensive environmental assessment requirements in Part II.3 of the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) and will be designated in a regulation as Part II.3 projects Environmental Registry of Ontario number 019-2377 by Ontarians for a Just Accountable Mineral Strategy Commissioned by MiningWatch Canada November 5, 2020 Executive summary Before new or expanding mines, mills and smelters get their permits and are built in Ontario, we need to know their impacts. The process to do this is known as environmental assessment (EA). On July 8, 2020, Government of Ontario proposed sweeping changes to the Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) as part of the omnibus COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, Bill 197. One of these changes is to develop a list of high-risk projects that will be subject to EA. Ontario has never required new or expanding mines, mills, smelters, and refineries to undergo an assessment of their impacts on the environment, the economy, or society. Out of 31 mines and mills currently operating in Ontario, only four have gone through an EA, and only one of those was by the province; the other three were reviewed by the federal government. With one exception, mines and smelters in Sudbury, Timmins, and Kirkland Lake have never completed an EA. We are hopeful that mines and smelters will finally appear on a new Ontario list of projects that pose the most risk to us all and we welcome this opportunity to comment.

The residence times and scientific importance of this groundwater are only now receiving attention with ancient fracture fluids identified in Canada and South Africa showing: (1) microbial life which has existed in isolation for millions of years; (2) significant hydrogen and hydrocarbon production via water–rock reactions; and (3) preserving noble gas components from the early atmosphere. Noble gas (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) abundance and isotopic compositions provide the primary evidence for fluid mean residence time (MRT). Here we extend the noble gas data from the Kidd Creek Mine in Timmins Ontario Canada, a volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit formed at 2.7 Ga, in which fracture fluids with MRTs of 1.1–1.7 Ga were identified at 2.4 km depth (Holland et al., 2013); to fracture fluids at 2.9 km depth.

  • Canada Nickel Signs MOU with Glencore Canada for Potential Use of the Kidd Concentrator and Metallurgical Site
    Canada Nickel Signs MOU with Glencore Canada for Potential Use of the Kidd Concentrator and Metallurgical Site TORONTO, January 11, 2020 - Canada Nickel Company Inc. ("Canada Nickel" or “The Company") (TSX-V:CNC) (OTCQB: CNIKF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Glencore Canada Corporation ("Glencore") in order to examine the potential use of Glencore's Kidd concentrator and metallurgical site ("Met Site") in Timmins, Ontario for the treatment and processing of material mined from Canada Nickel’s 100% owned Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide project (“Crawford”). Crawford is located 40 km north of Glencore’s operations. “The opportunity to utilize the excess capacity and existing infrastructure at the Kidd Met Site provides the potential to allow a faster, simpler, smaller scale start-up of Crawford at a vastly lower capital cost while the Company continues to permit and develop the much larger scale project currently being contemplated. Given the potential for this significant change in the scope of the project start-up, the release of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will be delayed until the end of March 2021 to allow this option, if successful, to be incorporated,” said Mark Selby, Chair and CEO of Canada Nickel. Canada Nickel has completed an initial high-level assessment and will now proceed with a detailed study on the potential for upgrading excess capacity at the Kidd Concentrator and/or utilizing the existing infrastructure in place at the Kidd Met Site for milling and further processing the nickel-cobalt and magnetite concentrates that are expected to be produced from Crawford.
