Conservation Ontario
Ontario is on a path to "restore our fiscal balance" and a lot of sacrifices need to be made in order to do so.
But, just how much is a life worth because conservation authorities use their provincial funding to protect lives and property from flooding and to protect sources of drinking water from contamination and overuse — and they do it efficiently and collaboratively.

Magnetic north has never sat still. In the last hundred years or so, the direction in which our compasses steadfastly point has lumbered ever northward, driven by Earth's churning liquid outer core some 1,800 miles beneath the surface. Yet in recent years, scientists noticed something unusual: Magnetic north's routine plod has shifted into high gear, sending it galloping across the Northern Hemisphere — and no one can entirely explain why.

Sodium, an element far more abundant than lithium, is expanding its claim to fame in the battery field. A new study from a Japanese university has suggested that a sodium compound could relatively easily replace lithium in batteries.
The study, by researchers from the Nagoya Institute of Technology, found a way around the main obstacle for swapping lithium with sodium: The larger size of the ions in sodium and its different chemistry, Phys.org reports.

The company aiming to restore a northeastern Ontario cobalt refinery to commercial production is pleased with the results from its material testing.
First Cobalt provided preliminary results from a testing program of cobalt hydroxide material as potential feedstock for its refinery near the town of Cobalt.
Among the highlights, the company reported Jan.30 was that testing successfully leached 98 per cent of cobalt from the cobalt hydroxide using solvent extraction processes.

Brantford Expositor
Brantford is in the midst of finalizing a loan of more than $4.6 million to pay for work already done on the Sydenham Pearl Brownfield Remediation project.
Councillors voted Tuesday night to approve a debenture from the Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation with a 20-year interest rate of 3.4 per cent.
The agreement will mean the city repays the loan at a rate of $322,878 a year.
The debenture was approved, along with the project, in 2012 and the remediation at the site is complete, but the money has to be returned to the city's capital project fund, which has been fronting the money.

Even those who don't follow mining or invest in it could probably tell you that a global energy transition will mean the world is going to need a lot more copper.
B.C. is Canada's largest copper producer, with six operating mines and a couple of dozen projects at the early or late exploration stage that could become new mines one day.
So is copper golden in B.C.?

Every place on Earth once started as part of a mountain, scientists at Rice University in the U.S. are suggesting.
Due to the unique ratio on the Earth's crust of two rare elements, niobium and tantalum, Ming Tang and his colleagues theorise that the Earth's crust was mostly formed in continental arcs, as mountains were pushed up by continental collisions.
"If our conclusions are correct, every piece of land that we are now sitting on got its start someplace like the Andes or Tibet, with very mountainous surfaces," says Tang, lead author of a study published in Nature Communications.
