When workers at the Lockerby mine in Sudbury, Ontario arrived on shift recently, they found the gates locked and the copper-nickel mine idle.
The company, First Nickel, has immediately issued layoff notices to 35 employees, following through on an announcement that it would close the mine once ore supplies dried up. That however, was not supposed to happen until the fall, so the layoffs took the employees by surprise.

It is late on a cloudy afternoon and prospector Ron Netolitzky is hunched over a fragment of drill core, 100 kilometres south of Dease Lake in remote northwestern B.C.
Netolitzky, magnifying glass to one eye, is looking for gold, or minerals that suggest the yellow metal is present.
He's in familiar territory. In the late 1980s, the geologist helped discover the high-grade Snip and Eskay Creek gold mines to the south. The finds sparked trading frenzies on the old Vancouver Stock Exchange as mining companies battled each other for a piece of the action.

Some of the rich diamond deposits in the Northwest Territories may have been formed as a result of ancient seawater streaming into the deep roots of the continent, transported by plate tectonics, suggests new research from an international team of scientists in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. The discovery further highlights the role played by plate tectonics in "recycling" surface materials into deep parts of the earth, building on the groundbreaking discovery by a University of Alberta team last year of vast quantities of water trapped more than 500 kilometres underground.

Vast areas of California's Central Valley are sinking faster than in the past as massive amounts of groundwater are pumped during the historic drought, state officials said recently, citing new research by NASA scientists.
The data shows the ground is sinking nearly two inches each month in some places, putting roads, bridges and vital canals that deliver water throughout the state at growing risk of damage.

Market Watch
Commodities have seen a broad decline, but prices for rare-earth elements are poised for a recovery.
That may come as a surprise following the bankruptcy filing by U.S. rare-earth miner and producer Molycorp earlier this year, and given the uncertainty surrounding metals demand and the economy in China, a country which controls nearly all of the world's rare-earth market.
