Trade tensions between Canada and the United States are not stopping Canadian mining companies from looking south for business opportunities, but they are also looking at markets abroad.
The recent third annual Northern Ontario Exports Forum in Sudbury saw around 200 delegates gather to discuss markets abroad, including Africa, Latin America, Mexico and Europe. Even though heavy tariffs are being imposed on Canada by the U.S., particularly on steel and aluminium imports, many delegates and speakers said they were concerned, but business is going ahead.

Noront Resources Ltd. is looking to partner with a gold company as it continues to lead exploration of the Ring of Fire, a vast isolated area in northwestern Ontario with untapped mineral resources.
The company has proven nickel and chromite deposits in the Ring of Fire, but those base metals are too heavy to transport out of the area, given the current lack of road access. Gold, on the other hand, is so valuable that it is often flown out of remote areas.

The cost would have been much higher, as much as $1.5 million, had not Brighton's wastewater supervisor Keith Lee and Jeff Graham, the president of GSS Engineering Consultants Ltd., reviewed the tender with the lone bidder for the contract, Terrapure, and modified what had to be done and put a cap on expenditures.

Welland will spend nearly $50,000 to have an engineering firm look into what caused basement flooding in Dain City in April, and come up with a plan to prevent it from happening again.
A significant rainfall, combined with snow still on the ground, led to sewer systems backing up and floodwaters entering more than 20 homes in the community south of Forks Road and flood basements.
After the incident, the city said the issue revolved around a regional station in Dain City that pumps sewage for treatment to the plant in Welland's north end.
