Resources for Future Generations
June 16-21, 2018 in Vancouver
Human existence and progress is based on a sustainable supply of energy, minerals and water. In order to provide resources, we must understand the complexity of the Earth. Equally important is the need to develop and utilize these resources in better and cleaner ways that minimize impacts. Success will require a consensus on how we work together.

A company with a stake in the Ring of Fire says the way to get the far north development to "come alive" is by doing business with the United States.
KWG Resources president Frank Smeenk told Postmedia that it's time to look at the political realities of today and the future and the regulatory environments and what it all means to the massive mining development for the Ring of Fire.
KWG Resources is a mining exploration company with some land claim rights in the Ring of Fire.

Toronto-headquartered First Cobalt Corp. has begun metallurgical testing of high grade refinery residue and crushed waste at its mill in Cobalt. This study could provide the company with an early source of cash flow.
Testing will be done on three piles totaling 6,500 tonnes with a historic estimate. The grades range from 0.65 per cent to 1.55 per cent cobalt, but they are not 43-101 compliant. One of the piles consists of broken rock from the old Kerr mines and mill. Another pile consists of previously processed high grade refinery residue. The third pile is a mix of both materials.

Garth Drever can't hide his excitement over Frontier Lithium's Pakeagama Lake Pegmatite project's initial findings and estimates.
But he is reluctant to say if it could be the first lithium mine in Canada.
"It could be a few years before we go into production, but we are very happy with what we are seeing," said Drever, vice-president of exploration of the Sudbury-based junior mining company, formerly known as Houston Lake Mining.

Watershed report cards grade the state of natural resources — surface water quality, forest cover, groundwater, wetlands — by region.
Otonabee Conservation's grades ranged from excellent to fair, improving overall since its last report card in 2013. Grades are released every five years.

I can't remember what romantically inclined poet first said it, but the adage was very true – the Porcupine Camp did, "like a Phoenix, rise from its ashes" after the great Porcupine fire of 1911.
For those of you unfamiliar with the event, here is the New York Times version of what happened, printed on July 13th, 1911: "Hundreds of lives were lost and millions of dollars' worth of property was destroyed in the forest fires which swept the Porcupine mining district in Northern Ontario yesterday."

An international research team led by a Princeton University scientist has found that the rise in oxygen that occurred about 2.3 billion years ago (Paleoproterozoic era) — known as the Great Oxidation Event — was much more substantial than previously indicated. "Instead of a trickle, it was more like a firehose. It was a major change in the production of oxygen," said Dr. Clara Blättler, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University.
