A proposed iron ore mine near Ignace is moving ahead with an environmental assessment, with an important deadline for public participation less than a month away.
Ambershaw Metallics, a subsidiary of UK-based Legacy Hill Resources, is looking to construct an open-pit iron mine that would require draining and damming part of Bending Lake, about 50 kilometres southwest of Ignace.

How much is the Ring of Fire really worth?
Why has mining still not begun in Ontario’s Ring of Fire mineral deposit belt a decade after its discovery? Are the deposits worthless, or are there factors beyond the control of the mining industry that are blocking progress?
The value of recoverable contained metal “in the ground” represents the sum of wealth that can be generated through the eventual sale of the commodity to the marketplace.

Landowners in a rural Ontario municipality about two hours northwest of Toronto have signed an agreement that will allow authorities to soon start doing site tests for a proposed facility to store high-level nuclear waste.
The agreement with the Nuclear Waste Management Organization leaves South Bruce as one of two possible sites for a deep geological repository, along with an area near Ignace in northern Ontario.

Saugeen Ojibway Nation officials say so many permits are being sought for emergency shoreline repairs, caused by record-high water levels, that a meeting is needed to consider natural, long-term solutions in SON traditional territory.
From Collingwood up to Tobermory and down to Grand Bend, SON’s Environment Office receives a notification from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry every time a provincial work permit for shoreline repairs is requested.

Counsel for the Canadian Environmental Law Association have filed an application for review, seeking amendment of Ontario’s Clean Water Act and its implementing regulations.
While under the current regime, municipal drinking water systems are covered by source water protection. Under the proposed changes, this protection will be extended to non-municipal drinking water systems, such as private residential wells, states a news release from CELA.

As the world warms and precipitation that would have generated snowpack instead creates rain, the western U.S. could see larger floods, according to new Stanford research.
An analysis of over 400 watersheds from 1980 to 2016 shows that winter floods driven by rainfall can be more than 2.5 times as large as those driven by snowmelt.

Using the latest satellite technology from the European Space Agency (ESA), scientists from the University of Bristol have been tracking patterns of mass loss from Pine Island — Antarctica’s largest glacier.
They found that the pattern of thinning is evolving in complex ways both in space and time with thinning rates now highest along the slow-flow margins of the glacier, while rates in the fast-flowing central trunk have decreased by about a factor of five since 2007.

In the aftermath of the devastating Tohoku-Oki earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan in March 2011, seismologists were stunned by the unprecedented 50 meters of shallow displacement along the fault, which ruptured all the way to the surface of the seafloor. This extreme slip at shallow depths exacerbated the massive tsunami that, together with the magnitude 9.1 earthquake, caused extensive damage and loss of life in Japan.

Groundwater flow from land to sea could have important coastal impacts but it is usually unrecognized. Delicate reefs may be particularly sensitive to groundwater inputs. Yet few studies have made connections between groundwater and reefs.

The Earth is pocked with roughly 190 major meteor craters, yet scientists only know the age of just a few. Recently, A NASA scientist analyzed the age of the Yarrabubba meteor crater in Australia and found it to be 2.229 billion years old, making it now the oldest crater currently known.
“It’s 200 million years older than the previously oldest known crater, which was the over 200-kilometer Vredefort Dome crater in South Africa,” said Timmons Erickson, a research scientist with the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science division, or ARES, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
