The Northern Centre for Advanced Technology (NORCAT) is spreading its reach.

Frank Smeenk was direct in his appraisal of Cliffs Natural Resources ending up on the wrong end of an acrimonious proxy fight with a New York hedge fund. “I thought they deserved everything that befell them,” said the president-CEO of KWG Resources.

The Centre of Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) has received provincial funding toward the development of a canopy that will protect underground miners from falling rock. Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Sudbury on Sept.

A recent drop in the price of nickel should not have a major impact on Sudbury 's mining supply and services sector, said the executive director of the Sudbury Area Mining Supply and Service Association.

KWG Resources revealed it has two offers on the table for offtake agreements to advance its Ring of Fire chromite project.

Northern Gold Mining Inc. has signed a custom milling agreement with St. Andrew Goldfields Ltd.

Kirkland Lake’s Jim Taylor has been named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Ontario Association of Community Futures Development Corporation.

Cliffs Natural Resources is considering selling its Ring of Fire chromite properties, and a Toronto junior miner operating in the remote region of Ontario said it’s arranging the financing to take control of the project.

It was during a trip to Toronto about a year ago that Wayne Ablitt and Don Croteau realized they were both thinking of expanding into Western Canada with their respective companies, Jannatec Technologies and Schauenburg Industries Ltd.

A management shakeup at Cliffs Natural Resources has some mining analysts believing the possible departure of the Cleveland-based mining giant from the Ring of Fire camp could open the door for other international producers to make a move.
