Cliffs wins victory in Ring of Fire court case
Northern Life
It'll be up to Natural Resources Minister Bill Mauro to decide if Cliffs Natural Resources gets permission for an overland transportation route into the Ring of Fire.
An Ontario Divisional Court recently set aside a decision reached by the Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner last September that denied Cliffs an easement for a road to reach its Black Thor chromite deposit atop the mining claims of a rival company, KWG Resources.

Burlington hit by more than a month's worth of rain in a few hours
Mississauga.com
Road closures, abandoned vehicles and flooded basements were some of the effects of the torrential downpour that brought approximately 100-125 millimetres of rain to the city starting yesterday afternoon. "Using radar as an estimate, we think that a representative number for average rainfall would be 100-125 millimetres," said Peter Kimbell, warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.
Waking the giant
Canadian Mining Journal
"Two hands wide and it goes on forever!" is what prospector C.J. Johnny Baker is rumoured to have bragged of the gold-riddled quartz vein he and Herb Dixon found on the rocky north arm of Great Slave Lake in 1935.
Twelve years later their find became the Giant Yellowknife gold mine, the largest of a string of historic producers that fostered a 60-year, 14 million-ounce legacy. Then, with Giant's closing in 1998 and the neighbouring Con Mine's in 2004, the prolific Yellowknife gold camp went into hibernation.
Today, after a decade-long snooze, it may be waking up again.

After a brutal reckoning, the base metals sector is starting to generate some cautious optimism amid early indications of an up-trend.

Quebec lawyers optimistic about revived Plan Nord
Financial Post
Quebec's mining lawyers are cautiously optimistic about the impact of the Liberal government's revival of the Plan Nord mining project.
"What lies ahead for Quebec's mining industry is better than what the future looked like during the last two years when there was no clear signal from the PQ that the mining industry was welcome here," said Jean-Philippe Buteau in Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP's Quebec City office.
