Kirkland Lake Gold of Toronto has a robust underground drilling program underway at its Macassa mine in Kirkland Lake, especially with the discovery of a new gold zone along the '04 Break.
Drilling in the new zone will continue throughout this year and next in the hope of defining a mineable resource above the 3,400 level. Production from that area could begin in 2017 or 2018.

Timmins city hall and the Porcupine Health Unit issued a joint news release recently advising there are elevated levels of heavy metals in the Hollinger Park. This includes antimony, arsenic and lead, said the release.
These metals are usually associated with historical mining and metal refinery practices. In high concentrations, such metals can pose a health risk.
"They are not present at levels that would be expected to result in adverse health effects to park users. The city will be doing further testing to determine what additional remedial action is required," the joint news release claimed.

The first comprehensive study of the content of rare earth elements in coal ashes from the United States shows that coal originating from the Appalachian Mountains has the highest concentrations of scarce elements like neodymium, europium, terbium, dysprosium, yttrium and erbium that are needed for alternative energy and other technologies. The study also reveals how important developing inexpensive, efficient extraction technologies will be to any future recovery program.
