APGO thanks Bill Leedham, P.Geo. and David Wade, P.Geo. for their excellent work as workshop presenters at APGO's recent learning event that was held in Mississauga on Oct. 11th & 12th. Bill and Dave provided a comprehensive overview of the Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Risk Assessment (RA) and Record Site Condition (RSC) processes in Ontario. Overall, the workshop received positive feedback from participants and APGO is looking forward to offer this again in the near future.

Nov. 13 & 14, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. — 4:00 p.m.
Using geochemistry to its fullest potential in exploration, this two-day course will introduce and expand on the fundamentals of geochemistry for a broad range of Ni-Cu-PGE and Au systems. The course will include techniques and methods for acquiring and analyzing geochemical data to characterize different mineralized systems, with examples from case studies.

Thank you Dennis Waddington, P.Geo. for submitting the following article. Beer and geology are intimately intertwined. Everyone knows that geologists have a long history with beer, and consume it in copious quantities. No good field trip, geologic symposium, or Friday afternoon bull session ends without a refreshing brew (or two).
What most people do not realize is that the type of beer brewed is highly dependent upon area geology. Think about the regions known for certain beers. The refreshing bitterness of an English pale ale, the clean light taste of a Czech Pilsner, or the dark, almost burnt graininess of Irish stout are tributes to the power of geology. Beer is more than 90 per cent water, and the geology through which the water percolates makes all the difference in the brew.

Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains was in Toronto recently to officially announce two more shortlisted candidates for the federal government's $950 million supercluster program — one focused on advanced manufacturing in Ontario and another targeting the province's mining sector.
The announcement, made at the MaRS Discovery District, was the latest stop on Bains's cross-country tour to announce the nine proposals Ottawa selected from over 50 submissions to be on its short list. Up to five will ultimately receive federal funding.

More than 100 First Nation communities across Northern Ontario will benefit from just over $13 million in federal and provincial funding to help ensure all have access to clean water.
In an announcement at the Fort William First Nation band office, MP Patty Hajdu, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development, and Labour, along with MPP Bill Mauro, Minister of Municipal Affairs, announced a total of $13.3 million in funding for water, wastewater, and storm water infrastructure in 116 First Nation communities.

As early as next spring, Jannatec Technologies could debut the first components of its wearable technology, which will help cool underground miners, monitor their vital signs and enhance their overall health and safety.
A contributor to the Ultra-Deep Mining Network, the Sudbury-based company has been working for three years on the technology that will allow miners to work in mines that descend to 2.5 kilometres or more.

The Northern Miner
The would-be millionaire John Paris Bickell had first become interested in the metals of the earth during a trip to the Yukon goldfields as a young man. Then, in 1903, the Cobalt silver strike near Lake Temiskaming signalled the beginning of Ontario's own mineral "Klondike."
The find attracted many optimistic prospectors to stake their claims; along with their dreams, they rode north on the railroads that were being built to link these remote areas to the south. Toronto, with its stock exchange, would become the storefront for the precious metals mining trade.

The Gauntlet
University of Calgary geoscience professor Alan Hildebrandt and his research team are closing in on the locations of a meteorite that fell over British Columbia in early September. After a call to the media earlier this fall for footage of the meteor seen across Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C., Hildebrandt and his research team are utilizing the submitted footage to help them track down the crash sites.
"The response was terrific. Several individuals with very nice videos contacted us," Hildebrandt said. "We have subsequently gone out and collected the video and calibrated the sites. It's really been a big help."

Living near a wastewater treatment plant can be stinky.
Now though, a research team at UBC Okanagan's School of Engineering has found that simply adding a common chemical before wastewater treatment can wipe out common toxic gases and make production safer.
It could also open the door for more municipalities to adopt efficient treatment technologies.
"People tend to be more concerned about odours in sewers going to a wastewater treatment plant and odours once the material is digested in the water," said Timothy Abbott, a PhD student and co-author of the study.

The famously potent "supervolcano" beneath Yellowstone National Park may roar back to life with even less warning than scientists previously thought, according to new findings presented at a geology conference recently.
The supervolcano last erupted around 630,000 years ago, and scientists believe such eruptions were triggered by the influx of new magma into its large chamber. However, where previously scientists thought that process took place over thousands of years, new evidence suggests the time scale is actually more like a few decades, according to the New York Times.
