With the Kidd Mine in Timmins being the deepest base metal mine in the world, Kidd Operations has made improved communications one of its key priorities.
That was brought forward by operations engineer Patrick Desmarais during the recent Beyond Digital Transformation mining conference held in Sudbury.
He outlined how the company had installed a fibre-optic network through the mine.

Competition for skilled workers within the Canadian mining industry is already fierce, and with companies in other countries also actively recruiting Canadian graduates and workers, it creates a significant skills gap in the sector, according to The Mining Association of Canada’s latest report.
Canada’s mining industry is worth $47 billion, with $29.6 billion concentrated in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, The State of Canada’s Mining Industry, Facts and Figures 2019 found.

An innovative program developed to sample rural well properties to monitor water quality was recommended to Huron County in 2001.
County council recently discussed sampling results from 2019.
After the preliminary study, representative wells called “sentinel wells” from the area were chosen for long-term monitoring. They included well clusters in South Huron, Huron East, ACW and Central Huron.

Phosphorus is a word that has been talked about quite a bit lately.
First discovered in 1669 in Germany, scientist Hennig Brand found that by heating up urine he was left with a white paste that glowed in the dark — hence a name that came from the Greek word for the planet Venus.
Phosphorus (P) is a one of three key elements for plant growth. Along with nitrogen and potassium, these are essential nutrients found in most fertilizers.

Research by University of Alberta oceanographers is shedding new light on the complexities of currents in Hudson Bay — and how the hydroelectric power industry may be affecting them.
“Our most significant finding was that there is a seasonal flow reversal in eastern Hudson Bay,” said Natasha Ridenour, a PhD student in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and lead author of two studies on the topic.

A number of minor earthquakes have been recorded around Newfoundland and Labrador recently,
according to Earthquakes Canada.
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on Feb. 3, a magnitude 4.3 earthquake was registered in coastal Labrador at a depth of 18
kilometres, about 18 kilometres east of Postville. "That's actually quite uncommon for this area," said Fiona Darbyshire, an associate professor of seismology at the University of Quebec in Montreal.

An analysis of the so called climate spectrum shows why the ice ages have not behaved precisely as the models predict. A large element of coincidence is involved when an ice age begins or ends, the analysis shows. Peter Ditlevsen from Physic of Ice, Climate and Earth at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen says the results imply we should maybe use a more conservative risk assessment then the one IPCC recommends.

An emerging scientific consensus is that gases — in particular carbon gases — released by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago contributed to some of Earth’s greatest mass extinctions. But new research at The City College of New York suggests that that’s not the entire story.
“The key finding of our research is that carbon from massive, ancient volcanic eruptions does not line up well with the geochemical clues that tell us about how some of Earth’s most profound mass extinctions occurred,” said Benjamin Black, assistant professor in CCNY’s Division of Science, whose expertise includes effects of volcanism on climate and mass extinctions.

Although stopping climate change is challenging, it is imperative to slow it down as soon as possible by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But how can we meet the growing energy demand while reducing our use of polluting fossil fuels? Geothermal energy is an efficient, non-polluting solution but in certain cases geothermal operations must be handled with care.
