The Craig Mine-Onaping Depth Project is not only becoming a reality, but it will also have the distinction of being the first mine to be completely battery-electric, even if it means building equipment that doesn't exist, yet.
It's also a melding of old and new, with the previous mine's infrastructure being used to transport equipment and personnel to the deposit.
Peter Xavier, vice-president of Glencore's Sudbury Operations, gave an overview of the company, with a focus on the company's mine project, at a recent Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

The complexity of the mining business coupled with the intensity of competition puts a lot of pressure on mining companies to maintain economic viability.

Toronto-based First Cobalt Corp. has begun testing cobalt hydroxide material as feedstock for its refinery in Cobalt. SGS Canada has been retained to assess the suitability of different feed materials using the current refinery flowsheet.
Last month the company said that restarting the refinery at 24 t/d feed rate and using the current flowsheet has a capital requirement of $25.7 million (including a 30 per cent contingency). The refinery could be operational in as little as 18 months. A final decision to restart the refinery has not been made.
