The Ontario government is providing $1 million to the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) to review worker exposure to McIntyre Powder, an aluminum dust used in mines decades ago. OHCOW will use the funding to establish a team of occupational and medical health professionals who will determine whether the health issues of some former miners are related to the use of McIntyre Powder, states a release issued by the Ministry of Labour.
These workers could then use the information to make claims to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board for potential compensation.

New Gold reports that its Rainy River District mine has achieved commercial production for the first time.
The company defines commercial production as exceeding 60 per cent of rated capacity over a 30-day period. Since Oct. 1, the processing rate has actually averaged 90 per cent of capacity.
The company previously announced that the mine, located in Richardson Township 65 kilometres northwest of Fort Frances, had its first pour on Oct. 6, yielding 500 ounces of gold and 600 ounces of silver.

The large trucks seen recently along major roadways in Sudbury are conducting seismic testing.
It's all part of a major research project by Laurentian University.
That seismic testing is not to detect natural or man-induced mining seismic activity, rather the testing is similar to sonar or ultrasound, says Harold Gibson, director of the Metal Earth Project.
The vibration trucks send out seismic waves, which reflect off features in the earth's crust and then back to receivers or geophones that have been spread out 20 to 30 metres apart.

Coal mines are inherently dangerous places to work, and nowhere is that more evident than in Russia, where 570 fatalities were recorded at mining facilities in just four years, between 2006 and 2010.
But that dismal safety record has improved in recent years, as the country has put more effort and money into its mine rescue strategy, making it a model for other jurisdictions, noted Jim Lundrigan, mine superintendent at Nickel Rim South Mine in Sudbury, and chair of the technical advisory committee for Ontario Mine Rescue.

Air and water testing for excessive amount of heavy medals, radium, uranium, arsenic, among others, have not exceeded the standards set for the multi-million dollar Low Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) clean up at the newly-created mound storage facility in Port Hope, officials said during a recent information session.
That doesn't mean, however, that there haven't been spikes over limits that send alarms to Canadian Nuclear Laboratory (CNL) personnel like Sandra Faught who oversees environmental monitoring.

Saline lakes are critically important for wildlife, industry, and human health. They provide habitat for migrating birds, minerals for extractive industries, and recreational opportunities, all of which are economically important. Great Salt Lake, for example, has an economic value of $1.32 billion per year. Saline lakes are critically important for wildlife, industry, and human health.
