APGO
On May 2, 2018, APGO held a networking event in Ottawa hosted by South East Councillor, Paul Hubley, P.Geo. Guest speaker Dr. Stewart Hamilton delivered a great talk on the advantages of wide-spectrum geochemical sampling of groundwater as beyond "water quality data." APGO gratefully acknowledges Dr. Hamilton for providing his time and expertise at the event. Many thanks also goes to Paul Hubley for hosting the event on behalf of APGO. Lastly, we would like to thank our members who came out to the event to exchange knowledge and make meaningful connections.

Ontario is investing in the mining supply and services sector and creating jobs in the North by investing in 12 projects, helping to create 20 new full-time jobs.
Through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, the province is investing in 12 mining supply and services companies across Northern Ontario including NorArc Steel in Earlton. The company will receive funding to design and build a mobile aggregate mixer unit that will increase mixture accuracy and improve energy efficiency.

Eira Thomas has discovered diamonds in the far north, co-founded mining companies and sat on a dozen boards — including Canada's most valuable energy company.
So the 49-year-old was a little taken aback when an investor recently suggested she needed to hire an engineer as chief operating officer to back her up in the executive suite. She was, after all, only a geologist. "I'm 30 years in this business," said Thomas, who took over as chief executive officer of Vancouver-based Lucara Diamond Corp. in February.

Anybody who has taken a trip along the Nokiidaa Trail in Holland Landing during the past five months has likely wondered what's with the construction vehicles. After months of hard work, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) is nearing completion on the Ghost Canal wetland enhancement project.
The project has created a 1.06 hectare wetland in what used to be a depressed field near the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Mount Albert Road.

Toronto's First Cobalt Corp. says recent drilling has allowed it to trace the mineralization of the recently discovered Kerr #2 zone to twice what it was before. The zone extends over 200 metres. The Kerr #2 zone is located south of Kerr Lake in the Cobalt North area of the company's Greater Cobalt project.

Mineral exploration can involve a fair amount of science that helps geologists guess where precious metals might be buried.
But at the end of the day, it also involves poking a lot of holes in the ground, at great expense, hoping to hit a deposit of gold or zinc or copper. Thanks to the work of scientists at the Triumf particle accelerator, mining companies now have a new high-tech tool available that can paint a 3-D image of what's underground so that they can do a whole lot less drilling.
