  • The Canadian Mining Industry North of the 55Th Parallel: a Maritime Traffic Generator?
    The Canadian Mining Industry North of the 55th parallel: a maritime traffic generator? Abstract Keywords: Arctic, Mining, Canada, Sea Shipping & Transportation, Northwest Passage Introduction Melting summer sea ice in the Arctic has been extensively documented and has increasingly been making headlines. This phenomenon, underlined by scientists and the media since the turn of the century, has triggered speculation on the opening of much shorter sea routes linking Europe via the eastern coast of North America to Asia, as well as on increased access to mineral resources in this region. The Arctic is currently undergoing a change of pace many would not have considered possible only a decade or so ago (Molenaar 2014). Closely integrated into the current economics of globalization, the Arctic region of the 21st century shows a growing worldwide economic, political and scientific interest. It also provides options in relation to energy security (Zhang 2011; Blunden 2012; Huebert and al. 2012; Johnston 2010; 2012) and visions of new transarctic sea routes (Lasserre, 2011; Pelletier and Lasserre 2012; Farré and al. 2014; Heininen 2014). In recent years, the prospect of growing shipping traffic in Arctic waters led to analysis pertaining to the possibilities for expanded activities in the cruise industry (Stewart and al. 2007; Grenier and Müller 2011; Lemelin, Dawson and Stewart 2012; Lasserre and Têtu 2013; Dawson, Johnston and Stewart 2014), the fishing industry (Arctic Council 2009), as well as in cargo shipping for western and Asian commercial shipping companies (Lasserre and Pelletier 2011; Campbell, 2012; Lasserre 2014) It seems, however, that less attention has been paid to the prospect of the mining industry becoming a major maritime traffic generator despite all the attention paid to the oil & gas potential of the region.

  • Asbestos Hill: Inuit Experiences with Nunavik’S First Mine
    ASBESTOS HILL: INUIT EXPERIENCES WITH NUNAVIK’S FIRST MINE by © Jeanette Carney A Thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography Memorial University of Newfoundland October, 2016 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador ABSTRACT Over the past century, the Canadian north has experienced an economic, social, and environmental transformation due to mineral development projects. These new developments have contributed to the rapid modernization of Aboriginal and Inuit peoples. Research has shown that past mines in the North continue to play a role in northern communities, shaping community identity and leaving behind negative environmental and socio-cultural legacies. As of yet, little social science research has been undertaken on the impacts of mining in Nunavik (northern Québec) and this study is the first to be conducted on the Asbestos Hill mine (1972-1984), Nunavik’s first mine. Using oral history and archival research methods, this thesis examines past Inuit mine workers’ experiences at the mine, the communities of Salluit and Kangiqsujuaq’s encounters with this industrial operation, and the legacies it left behind. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My Master’s thesis has been an incredibly difficult and gratifying experience, which could not have been possible without the support of my mentors, colleagues, family, and friends. Their continual encouragement, empathy, and assistance have helped me persevere throughout the research and writing processes of this Master’s. First, and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Arn Keeling, for his exceptional guidance, insight, and expertise throughout the past two years.

  • Integrated Mining, Pre-Concentration and Waste Disposal Systems for the Increased Sustainability of Hard Rock Metal Mining
    INTEGRATED MINING, PRE-CONCENTRATION AND WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS FOR THE INCREASED SUSTAINABILITY OF HARD ROCK METAL MINING By ANDREW SHERLIKER BAMBER, B.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering) University of Cape Town, 1993 Pr. Eng. (Engineering Council of South Africa), 1999 M.A.Sc. (Mining & Mineral Processing) University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Mining Engineering) UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2008 © Andrew Sherliker Bamber 2008 Abstract In the hard rock metal mining industry, both in Canada and globally, a decreasing number of economic mineral deposits are found at shallow to medium depth, and most of the deposits that remain are close to sub-economic and are required to be mined at high tonnages in order to show a return. The majority of remaining deposits are presented in challenging geological or geotechnical settings making the deposit sub-economic. The integration of ore pre-concentration and waste disposal functions into the hard rock metal mining system is proposed as a novel interpretation of Mine-Mill Integration for improving the economics and environmental impact of exploiting such deposits. The proposed approach seeks to reject waste as early as possible in the mining cycle, and safely dispose of it as backfill. This is proposed as a ‘Lean’ alternative to improving the economics of mining simply by increasing the throughput. ‘Lean’ philosophy seeks to design out overburden, smooth production, and eliminate waste from the manufacturing system. It is suggested that the proposed approach addresses all three areas, and is thus an important strategy to be considered for mining companies wishing to simultaneously improve their efficiency, economics and environmental performance, thus increasing their sustainability.

  • Facts and Figures of the Canadian Mining Industry TITLE the MINING ASSOCIATION of CANADA
    Facts and Figures of the Canadian Mining Industry TITLE THE MINING ASSOCIATION OF CANADA The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) is the national organization of the Canadian mining industry. We represent companies involved in mineral exploration, mining, smelting, refining and semi-fabrication. Our member companies account for most of Canada’s output of metals and minerals. MAC’s functions include advocacy, stewardship and collaboration. Our goals are to promote the industry’s interests nationally and internationally, to work with governments on policies affecting minerals, to inform the public and to encourage member firms to cooperate to solve common problems. We work closely with provincial and territorial mining associations, other industries, and environmental and community groups in Canada and around the world. DATA AND SOURCES This annual report reflects currently available data, the majority from 2017, though some from prior years and some from 2018. Dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.
