Mining is a very important industry in Northwestern Ontario, and always has been. It employs many hundreds of people from Marathon to Red Lake, more in related industries.
It is a business that creates wealth literally right out of the ground. That's why it is important that government help make the sector sustainable. Case in point, the recent announcement by Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle of $1.2 million in funding to prop up the junior exploration assistance program.
The fund helps these companies claim up to $100,000 on specific projects that seek new mining possibilities.

Goldcorp wants to take a low profile in developing an all-electric mine at its Borden Lake deposit.
The Canadian gold miner is determined to make its physical presence less felt with the first mine out of the chute in the Chapleau area's emerging gold camp.
Situated 10 kilometres east of the town, Goldcorp's 2015 acquisition of the project from Probe Mines was touted as one of the best new development assets in the industry.

Scouting for metals has advanced far beyond the days of old-fashioned prospecting, with companies now using sophisticated equipment and techniques to track down new mineral deposits.
But according to Harold Gibson of Laurentian University's new Metal Earth program — which just received $49 million in funding from the federal government — there's a remarkable amount we still don't know about how minerals form, and the future may depend on better understanding that mystery.

It is one of the most remote mining camps in Ontario, and it was heralded as the next economic engine for the province, and possibly Canada.
The Ring of Fire, about 575 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, holds massive amounts of chromite, nickle and copper, among other metals.
The area at one point had 35 exploration companies searching for minerals and a dozen mining camps housing workers. Now, just the Noront Resources Esker camp remains. A skeleton crew keeps the camp running, as well as doing geophysical work, looking for more mineral deposits.

Third quarter gold production at Wesdome Gold Mines' Eagle River Complex was up 29 per cent over the previous quarter.
The company announced recently that the combined production at the northeastern Ontario operation was 15,667 ounces, up from 12,147 ounces processed during the second quarter. Ore milled during the third quarter was 42,617 tonnes at a head grade of 10.07 grams per tonne to produce 13,193 ounces of gold.

UBC Okanagan researchers have isolated organisms that cause acid-rock drainage in mining operations.
"Mining waste is an environmental concern in many parts of the world and currently costs a great deal of time and money to the companies that deal with it responsibly," Deborah Roberts, a professor of engineering at UBC Okanagan said in a press release. "Now that we have isolated the type of micro-organisms contributing to this issue, further research may help us manage them with antibiotics, like other bacterial infections."

Geomorphologists who study Earth's surface features and the processes that formed them have long been interested in how floods, in particular catastrophic outbursts that occur when a glacial lake ice dam bursts, for example, can change a planet's surface, not only on Earth but on Mars. Now geoscience researchers have proposed and tested a new model of canyon-forming floods that suggests that deep canyons can be formed in bedrock by significantly less water than previously thought.
