Mining mogul, entrepreneur and philanthropist Peter Munk, founder and chairman emeritus of Barrick Gold, died in Toronto, March 28. He was 90.
He founded Barrick in 1983 and built it into the world's largest gold mining company in less than 25 years.
Born in Budapest in 1927, Munk escaped with his family from Nazi-occupied Hungary in 1944 and landed in Toronto at age 20 in 1949.

At a meeting late last month, members of Georgian Bay Forever approached Parry Sound council asking for in-kind support with two pilot projects — diversion and measurement and change in microplastics found in the town's wastewater.

Greater Sudbury has the opportunity to capitalize on 120 years of mining leadership and success and to ensure a prosperous 150-plus years of future with its invitation to Noront Resources to build its ferrochrome production facility in our community.
Our city is already recognized as the largest integrated mining complex in the world, and is host to a mining and mining supply and services sector employing more than 17,000 people. We are also home to three post-secondary institutions that will ensure our young people have the skills required as part of the construction and operation of the ferrochrome production facility.

North Arrow Minerals is encouraged by the diamond samples it's extracted from an exploration project nine kilometres from Naujaat, NU.
The company started exploration there in 2014, and last year did a significant amount of sampling to help determine if the Naujaat diamond exploration project could become a mine.
Ken Armstrong, the company's president and CEO, says they'll know more once all the results from the sampling are in, but for the moment they're pinning their hopes on finding more of the high value orange-yellow diamonds found in previous samples.

Geoscience researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Smith College and the Japanese Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology have unveiled new, GPS-based methods for modeling earthquake-induced tsunamis for southwestern Japan along the Nankai Trough. A Nankai-induced tsunami is likely to hit there in the next few decades, says lead author Hannah Baranes at UMass Amherst, and has the potential to displace four times the number of people affected by the massive Tohoku tsunami of 2011.
