Miners in Sudbury will soon have boots that will protect their feet from vibration-induced damage.
Sustained exposure to vibrations from machinery like jumbo drills can cause nerve and circulatory damage, occupational health expert Tammy Eger says.
Eger, with the Centre for Research for Occupational Health and Safety, said miners tested various insoles this summer while on the job. She has chosen one and is now working with a manufacturer on a design.

St. Andrew Goldfields' Taylor Mine project is now in commercial production and will increase the company's gold production. With the acceptance of the Taylor Mine closure plan, the company has three gold producing mines in operation. "We are pleased to declare Taylor the newest mine in Ontario, one which we anticipate will bolster the company's gold production profile for 2016 by 40,000 — 50,000 ounces and provide much needed jobs and economic benefits to the communities in the region," said Duncan Middlemiss, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Sioux Lookout could get a huge economic jumpstart if a proposed $3.77 billion open-pit iron mine and mill operation in northwestern Ontario comes to fruition.
While North American steel demand has been sluggish and iron ore prices have reached historic lows, Armando Plastino, CEO of Rockex Mining, insists his company is better able to ride the troughs of the cyclical steel industry with its hot briquetted iron operation.

The news of a temporary closure at the Rubicon Minerals mine in Red Lake, ON, came unexpectedly to one mining economist at the Centre for Excellence in Sustainable Mining at Lakehead University.
The shutdown of the mine is leaving 330 workers without a job in the northern Ontario town with 5,000 residents.
In a paper highlighting key mining developments, Karl Skogstad said the Rubicon mine was one of the more promising projects in northern Ontario.

Soil acidification from acid rain that is harmful to plant and aquatic life has now begun to reverse in forests of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada, according to an American-Canadian collaboration of five institutions led by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The new research shows that these changes are strongly linked to acid rain decreases, although some results differ from expected responses.

Many of the world's approximately 117 million lakes act as wet chimneys releasing large amounts of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, CO2, into the atmosphere. The most recent estimates show that CO2 emissions from the world's lakes, water courses and reservoirs are equivalent to almost a quarter of all the carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels. A new study published recently in Nature Geoscience shows that lakes in the northern hemisphere will probably release much more carbon dioxide due to global climate changes.

El Niño has arrived in California, and with it, the rain. It's not exactly monsoon season, but for the first time in a long while, the weather is bringing puddles to San Francisco, mud to the valleys (Silicon and Central), and snow to the Sierras. But how much is this precipitation helping the state's ongoing drought? Short answer: Not so much. Long answer: Not as much as Californians hope, but at least parts of the state are working to bank some of the water from this wetter year for the future.
