Canada's junior mining sector is waiting with bated breath to see if Justin Trudeau's incoming Liberal government will maintain a tax credit that has helped companies raise billions for exploration.
Miners argue that the 15 per cent Mineral Exploration Tax Credit is an invaluable tool that encourages companies to work in Canada and helps keep the sector active during commodity downturns, including the current one. But there are detractors in the academic community who say it is just another inefficient benefit that favours one industry over another.

The two most contentious issues behind the Paris gravel pit opened by Dufferin Aggregates have been resolved, at least for the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. Lindsay Davidson, media relations officer for the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), released a statement recently that the ministry has issued a permit to take water and an environmental compliance approval to Dufferin Aggregates for its washing operation at its Paris Pit, with conditions, on Watts Pond Road.

The policy includes and improves upon several programs that were employed last winter during the deep freeze: The freeze prevention program, frozen water pipe thawing program, temporary water service program, temporary water access program and the special assistance program.

The last two years at North American Palladium's Lac des Iles mine, Jim Gallagher has experienced a major company refinancing, an ownership changeover, a management reshuffle, a tailings pond issue, a round of layoffs, and the tragic death of a worker.
As the newly anointed president-CEO, Gallagher is hoping the streak of bad luck has run its course and he can now focus on the positives.
"We're setting the goal of becoming one of the best mines in the world."

The idea, for many, may be too hard to swallow.
But as California's historic drought drags on, experts and politicians are taking a serious look at "toilet to tap" options to guarantee long-term water supply.
The concept, which involves treating sewage water for human consumption, had until now failed to gain traction in the water-starved West Coast state largely due to the "yuck factor."

Given the ongoing public fear that the volcano beneath Yellowstone National Park is about to erupt, people might be forgiven for being a little nervous when the landscape nearby splits in half.
The crack in the earth in the shots up above is no new Grand Canyon, but it's still a big one, at almost 700 metres long and 45 metres wide.
It appears to have opened recently, in the foothills of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains. Wyoming is home to the lion's share of Yellowstone National Park.

Technologies in renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydroelectricity and bio-energy, are improving, making them cheaper and attractive; however, lower commodity prices and tighter margins are among the barriers miners face when adopting these alternatives, panelists said at the recent Energy and Mines summit in Toronto.
Stephen Letwin, Iamgold's president and CEO, notes the company's operations in West Africa and South America depend largely on expensive hydrocarbons, but with the recent drop in oil prices, those costs have also fallen.
