Glencore and Vale have a small number of employees — those who attended the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference — working from home in Sudbury.
Neither company would put a number on how many employees are self-isolating. An employee with the Willet Green Miller Centre tested positive for COVID-19, as reported by Public Health Sudbury and Districts recently.

Teck Resources recently announced a target to reduce carbon intensity by 33 per cent by 2030 as part of its new sustainability strategy.
This builds on the previously announced commitment to be carbon neutral across all its operations and activities by 2050, Teck said.
The move comes just weeks after Teck walked away from plans to build the $20.6 billion Frontier oilsands mine, only days before the Canadian government was slated to make a decision on the 260,000-barrel-per-day project in northern Alberta.

The nearly 60-year-old landfill sits on a ridge about 500 metres from the Ottawa River in the neighbouring Township of McNab/Braeside.
Analysis of water drawn from test wells around the perimeter of the landfill in 2018 uncovered unacceptable levels of organic carbons as well as iron, boron, barium and other compounds.

With so much talk in recent years about Alberta’s — and Canada’s — phase-out of coal-fired electricity, Albertans could be excused for being surprised to learn that new coal mining is being proposed in the province.
They could be further excused for being surprised that the latest new project has been exempted from what would have been a required federal environmental assessment under Canada’s new impact assessment legislation.

Yale geologists have identified the deepest pieces of Earth’s crust ever found in the United States or Canada — in the rolling hills of northern Connecticut.
Tiny bits of quartz and other minerals, inside garnet crystals, tell the story of a tectonic escalator ride that started 100 miles below Earth’s surface, some 400 million years ago. The discovery, described in a study in the journal Science Advances, offers new insight into the way rocks move through the Earth during the formation of mountains.
