Justin Trudeau's federal government hasn't even issued its first budget yet. But Michael Gravelle said he is already "very encouraged" it will play a strong role in development of Ontario's "Ring of Fire" mineral belt.
"I'm feeling very positive about the federal government role coming forward with the Ring of Fire," Gravelle, Ontario's minister of northern development and mines, said in an interview.

The mining industry's annual bash roared into life recently against an unfamiliar backdrop — a market where metal prices are no longer falling and share values in the sector are actually climbing.
After four years of brutal, grinding decline, the beleaguered industry is finally enjoying a spurt of good news. Gold prices have sprinted to their best start to a year since 1980, while even grimy industrial laggards such as copper and iron ore have displayed twitches of life in recent weeks.

Lake Erie is clogging up with algae and all levels of government want to eliminate the source of the nutrient that is at the heart of the problem.
Phosphorus, from farm fertilizers and manure, is leeching from the soil and into the Thames River system that flows into Lake St. Clair, which feeds into Lake Erie.
"Phosphorus gets into the water column and generates algae growth," said Brad Glasman, Conservation Services Manager at the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority.

Launched by the same team that brought the Canadian Malartic gold mine online, Oban wants to be the next great Canadian mining house, and president-CEO John Burzynski doesn't shy away from making bold statements about its plans.

Look at it like a spring melt.
A torrent of opinions — at least 20 delegations and another 24 written submissions about the Springbank Dam — is heading toward city politicians.
But will politicians be swayed by one current or another, specially when city hall staff have a plan to dam up the opinions for now?
"I think it's unlikely this will be the last meeting on this subject," said Ward 4 Coun. Jesse Helmer, chair of the civic works committee holding the public airing. "But you never know what's going to happen."

The recent soaking rains delivered just what drought-weary Northern California needed: Billions of gallons of water pouring into the state's major reservoirs — and more predicted to come.
With rain totals reaching 10 inches or more in some mountain areas, 46 of the largest reservoirs in California, closely tracked by the state Department of Water Resources, collectively added 391 billion gallons of water in three days — enough for the needs of six million people for a year.

New light has been shed on the processes by which ocean water enters the solid Earth during continental break-up. Research led by geoscientists at the University of Southampton, and published in Nature Geoscience recently, is the first to show a direct link on geological timescales between fault activity and the amount of water entering the Earth's mantle along faults.
When water and carbon is transferred from the ocean to the mantle, it reacts with a dry rock called peridotite, which makes up most of the mantle beneath the crust, to form serpentinite.
