APGO thanks Lynda Bloom, P.Geo. for conducting an excellent workshop on assay quality control. The workshop took place on April 16 in Toronto and received positive reviews from people who attended the learning session. APGO would also like to thank Chantal Jolette, P.Geo. who presented on QC Mine — a tool used to prepare control charts and improve QC assessment. Lastly, big thanks to our attendees who made big efforts to come to the event despite the treacherous weather. APGO hopes to offer the course again in the near future. Please check our Events page regularly.

"The implementation of autonomous machinery will fundamentally change mining and will have a profound impact on the industry as a whole," says Dave Goddard, of the Global Mining Standards and Guidelines Group (GMSG), a facilitator of global mining collaboration on common industry issues.

As part of the process to update the provincial Mining Act, Ontario has launched a new online, self-service claim staking system. It will allow anyone with a prospector's licence to register a claim 24/7. The new electronic Mining Lands Administration System (MLAS) replaces the province's century-old traditional ground staking methods. It also marks the completion of the modernization of the Mining Act.

For more than 80 per cent of Ontarians who get their drinking water from the Great Lakes, now is the time to think about Racine, WI.
It's there that officials are considering whether to grant Foxconn, a major Taiwanese electronics company, access to water from Lake Michigan for the purpose of manufacturing LCD panels.
It may be far away and in a different country, but the water Foxconn is asking for is the same water that much of Ontario relies on. Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are intimately connected — so much so that, hydrologically, they're considered a single body of water.

What do a big chunk of ice at the South Pole, a mine in Northern Ontario and a mountain in Italy have in common? They're all home to extreme underground environments but they're connected in another, more unexpected way. All three are host to large physics experiments searching to understand and answer the most basic questions about the world around us.
As a research scientist at SNOLAB in Sudbury, I get the chance to talk to a lot of different people about the work we do. The question often comes up: Why are we doing astrophysics — the study of space and the cosmos — from deep underground?

Noront Resources, the largest claim holder in the Ring of Fire, said it's doing its part to expedite road development into the mineral-rich Far North.
The Toronto mine developer also announced that one of its First Nation community partners is now officially a part owner of the company.
Since the province announced last summer that it was starting the design and environmental work before the start of building two access road corridors into the Ring of Fire, Noront said it's been pitching in to help area First Nation communities better understand what's coming by making environmental assessment and engineering studies available to residents.

The search for new municipal water just got a lot more expensive, with Erin town council allocating up to $604,000 for at least two more wells.
Exploratory drilling and testing at two sites, as part of the water servicing environmental assessment (EA), has been a disappointment for the town. Sufficient water flow was not found at the existing Hillsburgh fire hall well or the Mountainview site on Kenneth Ave.

A village in New Brunswick has been shaken by at least 14 earthquakes in 17 days — and nobody knows what's causing them.
"Sometimes, I just think it's a truck going by," McAdam, N.B., resident George Cook told CTV Atlantic. "It doesn't bother me too much, but the wife gets kind of upset, paranoid. She'd crawl under the bed if she could!"
According to data from Natural Resources Canada, there have been 23 earthquakes in the province over the past 30 days.
