It was an iconic part of Greater Sudbury's mining history to some, and a decaying eyesore to others, but the former Copper Cliff iron ore recovery plant is finally coming down.
Starting in the mid-1950s, the facility was used to separate remaining traces of iron ore and sulphur from waste produced by nickel mining operations.
Vale spokesperson Angie Robson said there should be no trace of the facility by the end of 2018.

A nearly three-decade wait is over. Maybe.
A multi-million dollar plan first created in 1989 to decommission Mountview Waste-Water Treatment Plant in downtown Huntsville and shift its capacity entirely to Golden Pheasant Waste-Water Treatment Plant off Highway 60 would start, at least in part, in March or April.
"We can't implement all of it. We don't have the money to do all of it. But we're acting within the money we have," said Fred Jahn, commissioner of engineering and public works for the District of Muskoka.

With town council expected to decide soon on whether to support expansion of the Halton Crushed Stone gravel pit just south of Erin village, community members are renewing objections and proposing changes to the project.
A second public meeting was held recently, with James Parkin of MHBC Planning providing an update on behalf of HCS.
"There has been a good consultation process," said Parkin, noting that there are no outstanding objections from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Credit Valley Conservation or the consultants who have peer reviewed HCS studies of hydrogeology, noise, traffic and visual impact.

A retired geology professor who set out to find where the rock from Titanic headstones originated from says his pursuit led him all the way to the woods of southwestern New Brunswick.
Barrie Clarke says his journey started 20 years ago after a headstone was damaged by frost and needed to be replaced.
"A colleague brought a small piece of rock in to me and he said, 'Barrie, where do you think this came from?' I said, 'I have no idea, of course, but I'll have to look at it,'" says Clarke.
