Hansen, V., Søndergaard, J., Asmund, G., Aastrup, P., Gustavson, K., Garcia, G., Nymand, J. & Larsen, M.B. 2016. Exploitation of radioactive minerals in Greenland. Management of environmental issues based on experience from uranium producing countries. Aarhus University, DCE – Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, 244 pp. Scientific Report from DCE – Danish Centre for Environment and Energy No. 200 http://dce2.au.dk/pub/SR200.pdf
In October 2013, Greenland lifted the so-called zero-tolerance policy for extraction of radioactive minerals. The decision was made at the time when a mining project was under development at Kvanefjeld (Kuannersuit) in South Greenland, a deposit that besides rare earth elements, flour and zinc contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. The project at Kvanefjeld is now at a stage when an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report and an application for exploitation license are currently being assessed by the Danish Centre for Environment and Energy (DCE) and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (GINR).
DCE and GINR are long-time advisors to the Greenland authorities on environmental issues. This advisory includes evaluation of EIA reports on mining projects. DCE and GINR’s evaluation of the EIA reports shall ensure that the EIA reports give a correct and thorough description of the environmental impacts of the project. The final EIA report and the so-called ‘White Book’, containing comments on the report from public consultations, will later form the basis for the Greenland Government (Naalakkersuisut) to decide for or against a mining project, to define the environmental requirements for the project and whether it has to be modified.
In relation to the possible exploitation license, DCE and GINR provide recommendations on how to set the environmental requirements and conditions in order to minimize any adverse environmental effects. Since previous mining projects in Greenland have not involved exploitation of radioactive minerals, there was a need to build up specific knowledge at DCE and GINR on environmental issues and management associated with mining and milling of radioactive minerals.
In the beginning of 2014, a collaboration project between DCE and GINR was initiated with the purpose of gathering information and knowledge on environmental issues and management of radioactive minerals mining and milling worldwide that can potentially be used in Greenland. The project was continued through 2014, 2015 and 2016. The project was not specifically focused on Kvanefjeld but on mining and milling of radioactive minerals in Greenland in general, both as main product and by-product associated with mining of other minerals. The project was funded by the Environment Agency for Mineral Resources Activities (EAMRA).
This report is prepared to EAMRA and presents the outcome of the project until this date. The report includes more than 200 pages of information gathered at meetings and workshops, through available literature and on field trips to former and existing uranium mines in Germany and Australia, respectively. Examples of the management of environmental and health practices at uranium facilities operating in the Arctic and elsewhere in the world are given in Appendix A. The intention of the report was for it to be a compendium with relevant background information to be used as a checklist for issues to consider in future projects involving mining and milling of radioactive minerals in Greenland.
Not all the information gathered here will be relevant to all potential future mining and milling projects in Greenland but will provide a foundation of knowledge that can be targeted towards the specific project, taking site-specific factors such as ore-composition, mining type, extraction methods, local environmental conditions, proximity to settlements, etc. into account.
Different topics and recommendations for specific requirements for all uranium production phases are presented in the ten chapters of the report.
Chapter 1 gives an introduction to the report and the different chapters in detail.
Chapter 2 provides a review of uranium production worldwide, different mining methods and steps involved in the production of uranium for use in civilian power generation. Past and modern practices of uranium mining are presented and examples of environmental management at uranium facilities are given. A short description of uranium production and key environmental issues in a range of different countries is provided in the associated appendix.
Chapter 3 presents a review of the international regulatory framework governing uranium mining and milling. This includes safety standards and recommendations from organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Commission on Radiological Protection and work and findings of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation. In the chapter, examples of the regulatory framework governing uranium production in Australia, Canada and the United States are given.
Chapter 4 provides a programme for environmental protection. A description of various methods to prevent and reduce the generation of dust and the release of radioactive contaminants into the environment is provided.
Chapter 5 describes the requirements for a radiation management plan (RMP). The purpose of this plan is to minimize the overall release and effects of radioactive contaminants from the mining and milling activities. The RMP should be an integrated part of any project involving mining and milling of radioactive minerals and should cover all phases of a project from construction to mining and milling, decommissioning, rehabilitation and long-term monitoring and care.
Chapter 6 presents a brief description of yellowcake production flow, quality assurance and control and the requirements of a waste management plan. The waste management plan is targeted specifically at the management of waste products associated with the mining and milling of radioactive minerals. Waste products include all kinds of tailings, waste rock and mine water that can potentially release contaminants into the environment.
Chapter 7 describes requirements for environment monitoring near mines involving mining and milling of radioactive minerals. Monitoring of air, water, soil and biological material for radioactive contaminants in the receiving environment is included as well as monitoring requirements for mine effluents. The requirements for setting threshold values for a specific project are discussed.
Chapter 8 presents requirements for environmental and health protection associated with production, packing, storage and transportation of uranium concentrate, so-called yellowcake. The chapter was prepared for the case that uranium-containing minerals will be processed into yellowcake in Greenland. The recommendations by the International Atomic Energy Agency and World Nuclear Transport Institute for the safe transport of radioactive materials are also included.
Chapter 9 provides information related to decommissioning and rehabilitation of mining areas associated with the mining and milling of naturally occurring radioactive minerals. Requirements for decommissioning and rehabilitation plans are also included.
Finally, Chapter 10 describes available scientific knowledge on potential sources and pathways of radiation exposure associated with mining and milling of radioactive minerals as well as methods of dose assessment in the environment.
This report contains information that can assist when setting the environmental requirements and conditions for potential new mines involving mining and milling of radioactive minerals in Greenland. It is important to note that this report focuses on the environmental protection and only deals superficially with radiation protection of workers and members of the public as this is not within the authority of EAMRA nor the advisory field of DCE and GINR.
For openness and transparency to the public in Greenland, the report will be made available through EAMRA. Thus, this report may be also used as a useful teaching or training guide by general public, politicians, authorities, education, industry and other stakeholders in Greenland and or international that are seeking detailed information or improving their understanding of all topical areas related to uranium production activities.
Given the present knowledge available, it is obvious that a well-developed regulatory framework and an implementation programme are required to operate a uranium mine in an environmentally safe manner. Experiences from Canada, Australia and the U.S. show that it is possible to operate modern uranium mines without major environmental problems. In contrast, experiences from uranium mines in other countries, for instance Namibia prior to 2012, show that lack of a complete legislative and regulatory framework and absence of programmes for implementation of environmental and health standards are some of the factors that could lead to environmental contamination and potentially pose health risks to residents in settlements near the mine.


In the present day mining industry, there are several types of crusher machines that have proved to be of great importance. Different stone crusher machine manufacturer has advanced their manufacturing techniques to cater to the ever-increasing demand for quality machinery. If you happen to visit manufacturer websites like jxscmine.com, you will come across several of them. But before we get to discuss the types, let me take you through one major point that concern machine type selection.
How to Select the Right Stone Crusher Machine
As you think of stone crusher machine project, you must think on the direction your processing line will take, the scale of production you need and the quality of the stones needed. But all in all, as you mull over the above sub necessities, your machine selection is much more dependent on the materials you intend to process.
Remember, your stone crusher machine efficiency depends on the materials to get crushed. You need to understand the hardness, toughness, and humidity of the rocks you intend to crush. Every machine is manufactured to work on specific rock type. Thus, understand the material to be crushed and then go after the right machine.
Types of Crusher Machines
Here are the main types:
- Jaw Crusher Machine
Jaw crusher machine is specifically made for breaking several material types. But, the strength of these materials to be crushed must be 320Mpa or less. A jaw crusher machine is a heavy duty machine that is made of two frames and meant for primary rock crushing trough use of comprehensive force. For the frames, one is fixed, and the other is movable. These Frames are made of cast iron with a replaceable lining made of manganese steel or Ni-Cr and cast iron alloy for durability and strength reasons.
Among all types of crusher machines, jaw crusher made of the most advanced technology and customers can adjust the particles size depending on their preference.
- Cone Crusher
Cone Crusher machines are used for tertiary or secondary crushing needs. They are made of advanced technology also that is run using hydraulic systems and human intelligent system control. With the intelligent system control, you can be sure these cone crusher machines are made to be operated automatically something that makes them easy to use.
Cone crusher machines use squeezing technology to break the rocks into smaller particles. Large rocks are feed into the machine from the top after which they are broken after wedging and squeezing between strong bowl liner and mantle.
Lastly, Cone crusher machines are divided into four types: hydraulic cone crusher, compound cone crusher, gyratory crusher, and spring cone crusher.
- Impact Crusher
If you need stone crusher machines manufactured for durability and impact resistance, then Impact crusher machines are what you need. This machine is manufactured to break rocks by use of impact and not pressure. Among all the other types of crusher machines, impact crusher machines are made to reduce occasional downtime. Additionally, when any break down is experienced, the stone crusher setup is friendly whereby users can replace those parts easily.
The main types of impact crusher are vertical shaft impactor and horizontal shaft impactor.
Depending on the nature of your work, there is always that one stone crusher machine meant for you. The idea is, decide on the material you need to break, your scale of production and then go after the machine you need.

Lac Brulé is a Ni-Cu exploration project located in the upper Laurentian region of Québec. A maiden drill program was carried out in July 2023 that discovered an ultramafic magmatic intrusive complex hosting significant Ni-Cu mineralisation.
Sama Resources Inc. launched the Lac Brulé Ni-Cu project in the province of Québec, Canada by acquiring a total of 480 exploration claims in the Nivernais and Esgriseilles Townships in 2020-2022.
Back in the 1980s, Dr. Audet had become aware of the geological potential in this region. Regional magnetometry, gravity maps as well as data from provincial stream and lake sediment sampling programs were used to delineate the geological potential that led to the discovery of a Ni-Cu gossan in May 2021.
No previous exploration had been carried out on the Lac Brulé property.
In May 2021, Dr. Audet made the first field visit with the intention of validating his assumptions. This led to the discovery of a mineralized ultramafic horizon to the east of the property, which can be easily spotted from the large gossan that is present at the surface (more than 450m in length and 65m in width).
The host of the gossan was described as mainly made up of massive pyroxenite with large crystals of pyroxene (and/or amphibole) and inclusions of serpentinized olivine. Puddles of interstitial sulfides (up to 5%) are present throughout, the latter being mainly formed of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and possibly pyrite and pentlandite. The surrounding units in the field predominantly consist of gneiss and granulites, and one may also notice the presence of massive garnet amphibolites.
In December 2021, SRQ commissioned Xcalibur Multiphysics to complete a 1,493 line-km MAG-HELITEM II survey on Lac Brulé.
Metamorphism is of high grade. It varies from amphibolite facies up to granulite facies. The regional structure has significant deformations, but it is notable that the regional foliation is characterized by a very low dip of 15 to 20°. The pyroxenite unit shows a discreet mineralogical foliation that weakly slopes towards the south.
More geological detailed works are needed, but already it could be interpreted that the mineralisation observed in the pyroxenite horizon clearly corresponds to the roof of a structure that is open downwards.
In August 2022, ground IP and EM surveys were performed on the North grid and South (Gossan) grid, respectively. Results for these surveys confirmed location and intensities of conductors outlined by the airborne EM survey. In July 2023, SRQ conducted a maiden drilling program comprising 13 drill holes for 3,950m on the Gossan Zone.
Analogies with Renzy historical mine and Nova Bollinger deposit, Australia
Several similarities can be drawn between the defunct Renzy Ni-Cu mine and the Australian Nova Bollinger Ni-Cu deposit. According to the literature, the “Renzy peridotite might have been injected in a pre-existent fold structure at a late stage of folding. i.e., its actual form is essentially the same as at the time of its emplacement and therefore has not been affected by any posterior folds. If true, this statement implies that the location of all the magmatic sulphide segregations is linked to the present contour of the peridotite body and not related to the sill’s original contours, which have been folded after solidification”.
The Lac Brulé project area lies within the western part of the Grenville geological province. The Grenville province has been the subject of only a handful of studies, most of which were close to the former Renzy Ni-Cu-PGE mine. No detailed study or prospective activity has ever been reported on the Lac Brulé project.
According to J. Martignole et al., 1997, the Grenville Province consists of a reworked Archean promontory partly covered by Proterozoic allochthons and two Proterozoic metasedimentary and metaigneous terranes, which are probably allochthonous. J. Martignole et al., 1997 proposed the possibility of late-Archean exhumation of high-grade terranes along the Front. South of the Front, two types of ductile shear zone are responsible for the geometry of terranes in this part of the Grenville Province. The first type corresponds to the boundary of allochthons transported onto the Archean parautochthon. The corresponding structures are not directly dated but reheating of the parautochthon at about 1,020 Ma (U–Pb ages on monazite) sets a minimum age for thrusting in this area.
No historical prospecting or ground exploration had been reported from the Lac Brulé area prior to SRQ’s involvement. The past-producing Renzy Ni-Cu mine, which operated until the early 1970s, is the closest mining activity with historical information available. Following the 1955 discovery of Renzy mineralisation, a series of prospectors and mining companies carried out field scouting trips but only in proximity to the mine site. The Company is targeting Ni and Cu mineralisation at Lac Brulé that could be similar to those at the Renzy mine and at other known Ni-Cu deposits in Canada and worldwide.
Only the Gossan Zone has been drilled.
Holes LB-23-01 to -05 and LB-23-10 to -13 were drilled at the main 600m-long, NE-SW oriented conductive zone. Holes LB-23-06 to -08 tested a smaller conductive zone 500m north of the first one. Hole LB-23-09 was used for geological purposes to help understand the geological sequencing.
The Ni-Cu mineralisation encountered is characterized by cumulate and aggregates of iron, copper and nickel sulphides: pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite, respectively. Pyrrhotite is the dominant sulphide with visible chalcopyrite. Pentlandite can be seen mixed with pyrrhotite. The textures of the sulphide mineralisation vary from disseminated to semi-massive to massive (> 80% of sulphide material) showing net-texture or brecciated sulfides between pyroxene and amphiboles. Thin massive sulphides horizons are intercalated and sometimes associated with garnet-rich xenoliths.Cobalt mineralisation is present in the sulphide material on hole LB-23-06.

Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG)
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG)
Press Release Highlights:
- Continuity of high grade zones within block model confirmed
Drill program at 25-35 meter ("m") centers completed at Parallel Zone
- Assays pending for second portion of drill program

Integra Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ICG) ("Integra" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial results from its fall/winter 2013 Parallel zone drill program at the Lamaque Gold Project located in Val-d'Or, Québec. The Company recently completed 12,589 m in 40 drill holes on the Parallel Zone which is located in the northern part of the Lamaque Project. Results announced today are from the first 20 holes, accounting for 8,050 m of the Parallel Zone program.
"While a resources estimate updated with new data has not yet been completed, a preliminary interpretation has confirmed continuity of mineralization within zones which previously had only widely spaced drill holes," commented Company President and CEO, Stephen de Jong. "This is especially significant for the Parallel Zone as there are a number of very high-grade resource blocks which had not had sufficient drilling completed for the resources to be classified as indicated. Mineralization continuity is crucial in these type of deposits in order to develop a successful mine plan. We are more than encouraged by both the continuation of the geological structure and the high grades intercepted throughout this program. Core samples from the balance of the 40-hole, 12,600 meter program at Parallel are being processed currently, after which an updated resource estimate will be commissioned."
Drill result highlights include:
*Down-hole thickness, true width varies depending on drill hole dip, most holes are set to intersect vein structures perpendicularly
**1.00 g/t Au cutoff - individual assay values uncut - no minimum thickness

Parallel Definition Drilling Program
The fall/winter 2013 program at Parallel focused on reducing the drill spacing to 25-35 m centers for the upper portion of the deposit, above the 300 m vertical threshold. Drill holes had been previously been spaced approximately 50 to 75 meters apart. The objective of the program was to transfer inferred resources into the indicated category and to confirm mineralization continuity between existing holes. Interpretation and remodelling is ongoing but preliminary indications are that mineralization is continuous between previous drill holes as well as with a number of the high grade intercepts reported.
The first 12 holes of the campaign also aimed to confirm the lateral extent of the lowermost zone, Vein 7, which had previously been drilled at greater than 75 m intervals and reported as a high-grade, inferred resource. Results including 11.14 g/t Au over 1.0 m in hole PV-13-02 and 5.44 g/t Au over 2.0 m in hole PV-13-07, demonstrate that Zone 7 is likely continuous laterally. Although the mineralized structure has been intersected, further drilling may be required to determine the average grade of that zone due to the high variance in assays between drill holes.
The majority of the holes disclosed today intersected mineralization where it was predicted to occur providing further confidence in the Company's geological model. The most significant and high grade intervals came from Zone 6 which appears to be the most continuous zone at Parallel.
2014 Lamaque Drill Program
Planned drilling for 2014 at the Lamaque project has been set at a minimum of 40,000 m which includes a 20,000 meter definition program at the Triangle Zone, definition drilling at the Fortune Zone, and exploration drilling at Plug No. 5 and Mine No. 3.
A total of 4,660 m in 12 holes have been completed at the Triangle Zone as of January 31, 2014, with no assay results available to date.
Project and Company Profile

Namdeb Diamond Corporation, a fifty-fifty joint venture between De Beers Group and the Government of Namibia, which has been mining diamonds in Namibia for over 100 years, since 1908, announced in September 2019, that due to declining on-land reserves, though the company was continuing to operate economically at the moment, in three year time in 2022, the operational life of the mines would come to am end.
Namdeb’s CEO Riaan Burger said at that time, the Company had four ongoing operations, two mines along the Orange River, the Sendelingsdrif and Daberas mines, the Southern Coastal Mines or Mining Area I, the mainstay of the Company’s operations, consisting of a number of mines along the coast with one processing plant, and the Elizabeth Bay mine which was on care and maintenance at that time. Daberas mine was scheduled to close in 2020 and Sendelingsdrif and Southern Coastal Mines was set for closure in 2022.
CEO Burger further said, the Company was constantly drilling and exploring for new opportunities in the licensed areas and was aware that the Company could potentially mine further but currently it was not economic to do that. Expanding further on the potentials available for extending the Life of Mines (LoM), he said there was some scope available for extending the life of the conventional on-land deposits that is being mined along the Orange River. Likewise in Mining Area I, where mining is done along the coastal beaches, opportunities are available to extend mining operations into the current surf zone of the sea to the shallow marine areas. The coastal ore body extends into the sea and there is potential to mine this area, but it’s a costly exercise. However, the CEO said at that time, as things stand all these are currently not economic for us to continues mining.
According to Namdeb’s CEO, closure of the on-shore mining operations would have a severe impact on Namibia’s state coffers as the company was one of the largest contributors to the state’s economy, having contributed over N$4billion within the previous seven years, and contributing 85 percent of the annual turnover of N$3 billion to the state coffers. This is a national asset for which we must find ways to prolong its lifespan, said CEO Burger.
In keeping with the wishes expressed by Namdeb CEO Rian Burger in September 2019, to prolong the lifespan of the mines, De Beers announced on Thursday October 14, that following a series of positive engagements between Namdeb’s management team and the Namibian Government, a new long-term business plan has been agreed upon, that will extend the life span of the on-shore diamond mines for another 20 years, until year 2042.
According to Namibia’s Minister of Mines and Energy, Tom Alweendo, safeguarding the land-based operations for sustaining the life of the mines, was imperative for both the national economy, as well as, preserving employment for the people and the livelihoods of families that depended on it.
Under the new plan agreed upon by both parties, the government will reduce the royalties it charges Namdeb from 10% to 5% for the period from 2021 to 2025, enabling the company to extend mining in an economically sustainable way, while also giving around N$40 billion to the State through additional taxes, dividends and royalties, according to De Beers. Apart from this the proposed arrangement will also ensure ongoing employment for Namdeb’s present employees, while creating an additional 600 jobs and other benefits and producing an extra 8 million carats of rough diamonds.
Commenting on the new arrangement to extend the LoM of on-shore mines, De Beers CEO Bruce Cleaver said, “Namdeb, a shining example of partnership, has a proud and unique place in Namibia’s economic history,This new business plan, forged by Namdeb management and enabled by the willingness of government to find a solution in the best interest of Namibia, means that Namdeb’s future is now secure and the company is positioned to continue making a significant contribution to the Namibian economy.”
While Namdeb sources diamonds mainly from coastal gravel, its counterpart Debmarine conducts marine mining operations offshore, off the Namibian coast using shops. In the year 2020, Namibia contributed 1.4 million carats to De Beers’ total production of 25.1 million carats, and some of these offshore diamonds are among the world’s highest value and much sought-after diamonds.


ARKANSAS, Sept 10 (Future Headlines)- The rapid growth of clean energy technologies and the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) are driving an unprecedented demand for critical minerals. These minerals are essential components of batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, and other clean energy infrastructure. As the world strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a more sustainable energy system, the importance of these minerals cannot be overstated.
- Clean energy surge and the role of critical minerals
In recent years, the clean energy sector has experienced remarkable growth. Solar photovoltaic (PV) installations have shattered previous records, wind power is set to resume its upward march, and electric car sales surged by 60% in 2022, exceeding 10 million units. This surge in clean energy technologies is a significant driver of the demand for critical minerals. Electric vehicles, in particular, have gained substantial momentum. In 2022, global EV sales exceeded 10 million units, marking a 60% increase from the previous year. This surge is not limited to passenger cars; commercial EVs, including buses and trucks, are also gaining traction. As countries set ambitious targets to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles, the demand for EVs is expected to continue its upward trajectory.
Energy storage systems have also experienced rapid growth, with capacity additions doubling in 2022. These systems play a crucial role in stabilizing energy grids and storing excess renewable energy for use during periods of high demand or low generation. As grids become more reliant on intermittent renewable sources like wind and solar, energy storage is becoming increasingly indispensable.
- Critical minerals: The backbone of clean energy technologies
Critical minerals, including lithium, cobalt, and nickel, are fundamental components of clean energy technologies. These minerals are essential for the production of lithium-ion batteries, which power most electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Additionally, rare earth elements like neodymium and dysprosium are vital for manufacturing the magnets used in wind turbines and electric motors. The demand for these critical minerals has seen a significant uptick in recent years. From 2017 to 2022, demand from the energy sector was the primary driver behind a tripling in overall demand for lithium, a 70% increase in demand for cobalt, and a 40% rise in demand for nickel. In 2022, clean energy applications accounted for 56% of total lithium demand, 40% of cobalt demand, and 16% of nickel demand. This surge in demand for critical minerals reflects the growing importance of clean energy technologies in global energy systems.
- Market size and price trends
Driven by rising demand and high prices, the market size of key energy transition minerals doubled over the past five years, reaching an impressive USD 320 billion in 2022. This significant expansion contrasts with the more modest growth of bulk materials like zinc and lead. Consequently, energy transition minerals, once a small segment of the mining and metals industry, have now taken center stage. The surge in demand and limited supply of critical minerals has led to price increases. Many critical minerals experienced broad-based price increases in 2021 and early 2022, accompanied by strong price volatility, particularly for lithium and nickel. While most prices began to moderate in the latter half of 2022 and into 2023, they remain well above historical averages.
- Challenges in clean energy technology costs
The affordability and pace of energy transitions are heavily influenced by the availability and cost of critical minerals. The rise in material prices during 2021 and 2022 reversed the decade-long trend of declining clean energy technology costs. Until the end of 2020, technological innovation and economies of scale had consistently driven down the costs of clean energy technologies. However, the surge in material prices disrupted this trend. It’s important to note that despite these recent setbacks, the prices of all clean energy technologies today are significantly lower than they were a decade ago. This highlights the overall progress made in making clean energy technologies more accessible and affordable.
- Policy initiatives and trade implications
Recognizing the critical role of minerals in the clean energy transition, countries are implementing policies to secure sustainable mineral supplies. These policy initiatives span the globe and include the European Union’s Critical Raw Materials Act, the United States’ Inflation Reduction Act, Australia’s Critical Minerals Strategy, and Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy, among others. The IEA Critical Minerals Policy Tracker identified nearly 200 policies and regulations worldwide, with over 100 of them enacted in recent years. Many of these interventions have implications for trade and investment, and some have included restrictions on import or export. Several resource-rich countries, including Indonesia, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, have introduced measures to ban the export of unprocessed mineral ore. Globally, export restrictions on critical raw materials have increased fivefold since 2009.
- Investment and exploration trends
Investment in critical minerals development has seen a sharp increase, rising by 30% in 2022 following a 20% increase in 2021. Large mining companies, with a significant presence in developing energy transition minerals, have notably increased capital expenditure on critical minerals. Companies specializing in lithium development recorded a 50% increase in spending, followed by those focusing on copper and nickel. Chinese companies nearly doubled their investment spending in 2022.
Exploration spending also rose by 20% in 2022, driven by record growth in lithium exploration. Canada and Australia led the way with over 40% year-on-year growth, particularly in hard-rock lithium plays. Exploration activities are also expanding in Africa and Brazil. Lithium, in particular, saw a substantial increase in exploration activities, with spending rising by 90%. Uranium, amid renewed interest in nuclear power due to concerns over Russian supplies, experienced a significant surge in exploration spending, increasing by 60%. Nickel followed closely with a 45% growth rate for exploration, led by Canada.
- Venture capital funding for critical minerals
Despite challenges in the wider venture capital sector, critical minerals start-ups had a remarkable year in 2022, raising a record USD 1.6 billion. This 160% year-on-year increase took the critical minerals category to 4% of all venture capital (VC) funding for clean energy. Battery recycling received the most VC funding, followed by lithium extraction and refining technologies. The United States-based companies secured the majority of funds, accounting for 45% of the total between 2018 and 2022. Canadian and Chinese start-ups were notably active in battery recycling and lithium refining, while European start-ups focused on rare earth elements, battery reuse, and battery material supply.
- Battery technology advancements
The battery sector, a cornerstone of clean energy technologies, is undergoing transformative changes. Global battery demand for clean energy applications surged by two-thirds in 2022, with energy storage becoming a growing part of the total demand. The demand for batteries in vehicles outpaced the growth rate of electric car sales. This trend is largely driven by the increase in the average battery size for electric cars in nearly every major market. Much like in the conventional car market, there is a preference for larger electric vehicles, which is adding additional pressure to critical mineral supply chains. Sodium-ion batteries, a promising alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries, made significant strides in early 2023. Plans for production capacity exceeding 100 gigawatt-hours were announced, primarily concentrated in China. Initially, these batteries are targeting less demanding applications such as stationary storage or micromobility. It remains to be seen if sodium-ion batteries can meet the requirements for electric vehicle range and charging time.
- Battery recycling and second-life batteries
Battery recycling is becoming an increasingly important aspect of the battery supply chain. Currently, the vast majority of battery recycling capacity is located in China. However, new recycling facilities are under development in Europe and the United States. At present, most recycled materials come from manufacturing processes. Still, this is expected to change around 2030 as used EV batteries reach the end of their first life. This shift towards recycling used batteries will further enhance the sustainability and circularity of critical mineral supply chains.
- Industry participation in critical minerals value chain
To secure critical mineral supplies, various industries, including automakers, battery cell manufacturers, and equipment makers, are actively engaging in the critical minerals value chain. Long-term offtake agreements have become common in the industry’s procurement strategies. However, many companies are taking it a step further by investing directly in critical mineral activities, including mining, refining, and precursor materials. This direct investment trend has gained momentum since 2021. Examples of this trend include General Motors’ USD 650 million investment in Lithium Americas and Tesla’s plan to construct a new lithium refinery in the United States. These investments are driven by the recognition of the strategic importance of securing a stable and sustainable supply of critical minerals.
- Projected demand for critical minerals
As the world intensifies its efforts to combat climate change and transition to cleaner energy systems, the demand for critical minerals is set to increase rapidly. The IEA has been continually updating its projections for future mineral demand based on the latest policy and technology developments. In the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), demand for critical minerals more than doubles by 2030 (ASP: this scenario assumes that all long-term emissions and energy access targets, including net zero commitments, will be met on time and in full, even where policies are not yet in place to deliver them). In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, which represents a more ambitious clean energy transition, demand for critical minerals grows three and a half times by 2030, reaching over 30 million tons. This heightened demand is driven by the proliferation of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, low-emissions power generation, and electricity networks.
- Supply-side challenges
Meeting the growing demand for critical minerals poses several supply-side challenges. Ensuring that future supplies can keep pace with the rapid growth in climate-driven scenarios is a paramount concern. While many new projects have been announced, challenges such as schedule delays and cost overruns, which have been prevalent in the past, must be addressed. Supply adequacy remains uncertain, especially for battery-grade products. In addition, diversifying the sources of critical minerals is crucial to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities. However, progress in this regard has been limited. The concentration of top producers has either remained unchanged or increased, especially for minerals like nickel and cobalt. Geographical concentration remains a concern, particularly in refining operations.
Improving sustainable and responsible practices in critical mineral mining and processing is essential. While some companies have made strides in areas like community investment, worker safety, and gender balance, environmental indicators have not improved at the same rate. Greenhouse gas emissions remain high, and water withdrawals have increased substantially. There is a question regarding the extent to which sustainability is being considered by consumers. Despite cleaner production pathways being available, few signs indicate that end users prioritize them in sourcing and investment decisions. However, downstream companies are beginning to show a preference for minerals with a lower climate impact.
- China’s quest for critical minerals
China, as the world’s largest metal refining hub, heavily relies on imports for significant volumes of raw materials, often from a small number of sources. For instance, China depends almost entirely on the Democratic Republic of the Congo for mined cobalt. To mitigate supply risks, China has been actively investing in mining assets in Africa and Latin America. Additionally, China has started investing in overseas refining and downstream facilities to secure strategic access to raw materials. Between 2018 and the first half of 2021, Chinese companies invested USD 4.3 billion to acquire lithium assets, twice the amount invested by companies from the United States, Australia, and Canada combined during the same period.
- Expanding the focus to niche minerals
While much attention has been directed towards battery metals and copper, recent events, such as export restrictions on Chinese gallium and germanium, have highlighted the significance of lesser-known critical minerals. These minerals, often characterized by small volumes but high supply concentration, can disrupt supply chains. Examples include magnesium, high-purity manganese, high-purity phosphorus, and silicon. A comprehensive and forward-thinking strategy is needed to address these niche minerals and ensure their availability in clean energy technologies.
- The way forward: International summit on critical minerals
Recognizing the global importance of critical minerals, the IEA is set to host the first-ever international summit on critical minerals on September 28, 2023. The summit will bring together ministers from mineral-producing and -consuming economies, along with industry representatives, investors, and civil society. The objective is to discuss measures for collectively promoting a secure and sustainable supply of critical minerals.
- Supply challenges and opportunities
The global transition to a more sustainable and low-carbon energy system is essential to mitigate climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Key to this transition are the critical minerals that power clean energy technologies. However, as demand for these minerals’ skyrockets, significant challenges arise in ensuring a steady and sustainable supply.
The rapid adoption of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and renewable energy technologies has led to an explosive increase in demand for critical minerals. Ensuring that future supplies can keep up with this pace is a major challenge. Moreover, the speed at which supply chains can be established and ramped up is constrained by various factors, including geological, regulatory, and infrastructure limitations. The concentration of mineral production in a few key regions or countries poses a significant supply risk. Overreliance on specific suppliers can create vulnerabilities in the supply chain, especially if geopolitical tensions or trade disruptions occur.
The extraction and processing of critical minerals can have detrimental environmental and social impacts if not managed responsibly. This includes issues such as deforestation, water pollution, and inadequate labor practices. Striking a balance between meeting demand and ensuring sustainable and responsible mineral production is a complex challenge. The cost of developing new mining projects for critical minerals can be high, which may lead to increased marginal costs and, subsequently, higher prices. Price volatility, as witnessed in the past, can impact the economics of clean energy technologies, potentially slowing down their adoption. Not all mined minerals meet the stringent quality requirements for battery production. The supply of battery-grade minerals may be constrained even if there is an overall balance of supply and demand for a mineral. This distinction highlights the need for a consistent supply of high-quality minerals to meet the specifications of modern batteries.
Encouragingly, numerous mining projects have been announced to address the growing demand for critical minerals. These projects span various minerals, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. While some projects are still in the planning or exploration phase, their development could significantly enhance the global supply of critical minerals. Despite challenges in diversifying supply sources, there have been positive signs. Many resource-holding nations are seeking to move further up the value chain by investing in refining and precursor materials. Likewise, consuming countries are actively looking to diversify their sources of refined metal supplies. Successful efforts to connect these dots could lead to more diversified midstream supply chains.
Some mining companies are making progress in adopting sustainable and responsible practices. They are investing in community development, worker safety, and gender balance. However, there is room for improvement in reducing environmental impacts. With increased awareness and consumer pressure, mining companies may prioritize cleaner production pathways. The growth of battery recycling and second-life battery applications represents an opportunity to reduce the demand for primary mining. As more electric vehicles reach the end of their first life, recycling used batteries will become increasingly important. Companies and governments are investing in recycling infrastructure to make this a reality.
The IEA’s initiative to host an international summit on critical minerals in 2023 is a significant step toward international cooperation. Bringing together key stakeholders from mineral-producing and -consuming economies, as well as industry and civil society, offers the potential for collective solutions to the challenges of securing a sustainable supply of critical minerals.
As the world continues to embrace clean energy technologies and work toward ambitious climate goals, the importance of critical minerals will only grow. Recognizing this, governments, industries, and stakeholders must collaborate to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the critical minerals landscape. Only through such collective efforts can we ensure a sustainable and responsible supply of these essential materials to power the clean energy revolution.

AWARDS & CERTIFICATIONS
Industria Limpia-Clean Industry Certification
Pinos Altos obtained its fourth certification under the Industria Limpia-Clean Industry designation of the Mexican environmental authority, PROFEPA. This follows an audit confirming the mining complex operates in full compliance with all environmental regulations.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Agnico Eagle is working to achieve progress on a set of goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. These 17 goals – known as the SDGs – focus on ending global poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring prosperity for all. Click the icons to read more about our activities.
We focus on limiting our environmental impacts by using natural resources efficiently, by preventing or limiting emissions and by reducing waste. Each of our operations is required to identify, analyze and manage its environmental risks and to work in a transparent manner with local stakeholders, building a foundation of trust and cooperation.
Our annual electricity consumption from the grid increased by 2% to 960 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2017 from 942 GWh in 2016. This increase was mostly due to increased production at Pinos Altos.
Our annual electricity production in 2017 increased to 154 GWh from 149 GWh in 2016. La India was required to produce more electricity for an increase in water pump use, crushing and grinding related to the processing of more tonnes of ore.
Overall, the total amount of electricity used both from external grids and generated onsite increased by approximately 2%, from 1,091 GWh in 2016 to 1,114 GWh in 2017. This overall increase can be attributed to increased production and development at our various mines.
Total diesel fuel use increased from 104.8 million litres (ML) in 2016 to 110.3 ML in 2017. Of that quantity, 71.4 ML (65%) were used for mining equipment, 38.5 ML (35%) were used for power generation, and 0.4 ML (<1%) were for other uses.
Mining at Meadowbank accounts for 63% of the total diesel fuel used. In 2017, Meadowbank had a 6% increase, from 65ML in 2016 to 69ML of diesel used because of an increase in mined tonnes and further distance for hauling ore. La India also had an increase in diesel use related to more power generation required and a 30% further distance for hauling ore and waste rock.
Diesel fuel usage per tonne of ore processed increased by 5% overall to 5.20 litres from 4.95 litres in 2016. In 2017, the quantity of diesel fuel used increased for Meadowbank and La India as both mines were mining more rock due to a lower than expected ore grade, however, the amount of ore processed remained similar to 2016.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
We calculate direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on a monthly basis and report them annually to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) both in tonnes of GHG (CO₂ equivalent) and in intensity, which is the amount of tonnes of GHG (CO₂ equivalent) per tonne of ore processed.
Total direct and indirect GHG emissions were 414,654 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2017, a 4% increase from 2016. The increased emissions are linked to the increase in diesel consumption previously mentioned.
In 2017, total direct GHG emissions increased slightly compared to 2016. Total direct GHG emissions were estimated at 335,518 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent from all sources – including fuel used to generate power, fuel for mining vehicles, natural gas for heating, and explosives used in blasting at our operating mines. This compares to 325,922 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2016, which represents an increase of approximately 3%.
Total indirect GHG emissions were approximately 79,136 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2017, as compared to 74,488 tonnes in 2016, which represents a 6% increase. This increase is mostly related to an increased tonnage of ore processed at Pinos Altos.
Our average GHG emission intensity (tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per tonne of ore processed) for all of our operating mines increased by 3% from 0.0189 in 2016 to 0.0195 in 2017. This is due to an increase in hauling distance.
In 2017, the total fresh water withdrawn by Agnico Eagle from all sources was 6.416 million m3 (Mm3), a 6% increase from 6.059 Mm3 in 2016. In 2016 a new environmental permit was received for Kittila which allowed the mine to increase their fresh water intake for the operation for a more stable autoclave recovery. In addition, La India completed the second phase of their heap leach expansion which involved the use of additional water as compared to 2016 amounts.
Our total water use was 0.3 m3 per tonne of ore processed, up from 0.29 m3 per tonne in 2016, which represents a 6% increase.
In 2017, the total volume of effluent released to the environment from all of our mining operations remained the same as compared to 2016 levels – at 11.8 Mm3. In 2017, Pinos Altos increased their effluent discharge to 1.1Mm3 from only 25,000 m3 in 2016. This was the result of underground dewatering quantities exceeding the needs of the mines and mills with the lateral extension of the drawdown as the mine got deeper. The increased effluent at Pinos Altos was offset by an 84% decrease in effluent discharge at Lapa as the mine slows down for closure (less water usage).
Water discharge intensity also remained the same as 2016, at 0.56 m3 per tonne of ore processed in 2017.
Waste and Tailings Management
Mining by its nature generates large volumes of waste rock and tailings – this is especially true for gold mining where ore grade is expressed in grams per tonne.
In 2017, the total ore tonnage processed both through our milling and heap leach facilities was approximately 21.2 Mt, similar to 2016. The tonnage of ore stored on heap leach facilities was approximately 8.4 Mt, as compared to 8.2 Mt in 2016. The total amount of tailings produced by the milling operations was approximately 12.8 Mt, as compared to 12.9 Mt in 2016.
From the 12.8 Mt of tailings produced in 2017, approximately 2.8 Mt or 22% were returned underground as backfill. The remaining tonnage of 10 Mt was deposited on surface at our different tailings storage facilities. This compares with 10.4 Mt in 2016. In 2017, Agnico Eagle’s mining operations generated 44.7 Mt of waste rock compared to 50.9 Mt in 2016.
The Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights are not a stand-alone entity and need to be integrated throughout all our business processes. The principles tie together many of the elements within our Responsible Mining Management System (RMMS).
In 2017, our operations continued to work in a transparent and cooperative manner with authorities regarding environmental matters. This approach has allowed us to build credibility and trust with regulators as we seek to obtain new permits or permit renewals. We recognize, however, that this trust is built on the application of a rigorous approach to environmental management at our existing sites. We will continue to actively engage with authorities to ensure that we understand their requirements and expectations, as we seek to advance any future permitting processes.
Meadowbank mine: Public hearings for the Whale Tail pit, part of the Amaruq project, took place in September 2017 with a positive decision from the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) rendered on November 6, 2017. The Project Certificate is expected for 2018 after the approval of the decision by the federal Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
Kittila mine: In 2017, a permit application was submitted for the construction of a new tailings impoundment area (NP4) located north of the actual Tailings impoundment area (NP3). Also, a permit application for a new water pipeline discharge was submitted to the authorities. These two permits should be received in 2018.
LaRonde Zone 5: The Certificate of Authorization needed for the construction and the operation of the Zone 5 underground mine were received in 2017. The commercial production of Laronde Zone 5 is expected in Q3 2018.
Goldex mine: Goldex continued to collaborate with the Quebec Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources on the management of the Manitou site. The ramping up of production at Goldex, and the development of new zones, have been instrumental in improving our ability to deliver tailings to Manitou to be used for the rehabilitation of this site.
Akasaba: The Akasaba project, a satellite open pit project located 30 km from the Goldex mine, worked its way through an environmental assessment process under the Quebec Bureau des Audiences Publiques en environnement (BAPE) a provincial requirement, and also with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA). The BAPE issued a positive decision in June 2017 and a decree is expected from the Government of Quebec in Q2 2018. The CEAA continues its evaluation.

2020 AND 2021 FIELD EXPLORATION PROGRAMS
2020 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM
In the first 6 months of 2020, LAURION initiated the Phase 1 of drilling on the Ishkoday Project, completing a total of 7,937m of drilling.
A total of 4,975m of NQ size drill holes (21 drill holes) was completed on 2 gold and polymetallic zones, in the north east Ishkoday Project. The A-Zone is primarily a polymetallic mineralized breccia, containing sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite, overprinted by a gold-bearing orogenic shear.
Drilling of 2,962m of NQ sized holes (10 drill holes) was then followed by drilling on the CRK, Joe, Azurite/Ahki and McLeod Zones.
The 2020 drilling provided a new geological understanding, confirming the presence of volcanogenic mineralization (A-Zone type) over the whole strike length between the McLeod Zone and A-Zone. The strike length across the mineralized zones is approximately 1.4 km, with a confirmed depth up to 150 m from the surface.
The first 4 holes on the A-Zone returned surprising results. Most of the mineralization presented itself as a brecciated diorite, composed of a matrix of sphalerite, pyrite and chalcopyrite. The two distinct styles of mineralization were confirmed: an early, likely syn-volcanic, zinc-dominant hydrothermal system, termed the Ishkoday-style mineralization; and a later, gold-dominant event that is linked primarily to later tectonic gold-silver bearing quartz veins, termed the Sturgeon River-style mineralization. The balance of the A-Zone drilling was designed to test the 3D model in the central part of the A-Zone.
The Phase 2 drill campaign was initiated over the trenched CRK Zone with ten oriented drill holes for a total of 2,962 m. Trenching in 2019 exposed a northeast-trending, 370 m-long corridor of both polymetallic (gold-silver-copper-zinc) mineralization and gold-bearing quartz veins, as well as north-trending polymetallic mineralization on the CRK. At the CRK zone, drilling was planned to intersect the main NE-trending polymetallic mineralization, but also test N-striking structures including the Joe shear zone and Ahki vein. Significant widths and grade of surficial gold and zinc mineralization were returned at the CRK Zone extending the main sheared mineralized trend 135 m to the southwest, but we have been able to trace it 310 m between holes at depth.
Phase two 2020 drilling ended on a high note, with a high-grade discovery interval within the total intercept which assayed 48.69 g/t Au, 35.98 g/t Ag, 1.14 % Cu over 5.40 m, including 441 g/t Au, 191 g/t Ag over 0.57 m discovered in drill hole LME20-031 in the New Niish Zone. Drill hole LME20-031 was designed to test a large VTEM anomaly combined with magnetic high and to test at depth historic hole 88-33. The mineralized zone is interpreted to widen significantly at depth.
The second last drill hole, LME20-030 was drilled to test and follow up on an historical drill hole (88-33) which intersected 18.7 m grading 0.30 g/t Au, 4.31 g/t Ag, 0.15 % Cu and 1.18 % Zn.
LAURION’s overall exploration strategy was to establish the growth potential of high-grade zones such as the Niish Zone, which remains open along strike and at depth, and in the 2021 drill program, continue to build volume on the 2020 drill program.
2021 Drill Program
The 2021 Drill Program with a goal of 10,000m was focussed on building volume and strike continuity between the A-zone and MacLeod mineralized areas. The drilling campaign aimed at developing numerous advanced drill targets generated from recent data integration and re-interpretation of the structural and geological settings, commencing on high priority targeted drilling along with a field validation program on gold and polymetallic targets.
In this program, LAURION intersected significant Mineralization in Drilling Connecting the McLeod and A-Zones, Including 0.71 g/t Au, 13.29 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu and 2.22% Zn over 13.5 Metres (Drill Hole LBX21-046) and 0.77 g/t Au, 4.31 g/t Ag, 0.83% Zn over 20m on hole LBX21-045 between 145 and 165m Drill Hole LBX21-045).
Assays as of mid-November are still awaited from this drill program. New releases will be posted once received and the website updated accordingly.
The Ishkoday Project is hosted entirely in Archean volcanic, subvolcanic, volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks of the Onaman-Tashota greenstone belt, part of the eastern extent of the Wabigoon Subprovince of NW Ontario. The SE margin of the property, including the main mineralized trend, is hosted in subvolcanic diorites, rhyolitic flows, felsic volcaniclastic fragmental rocks, and in an interpreted Tonalite-Trondhjemite-Granodiorite (TTG) termed the “Sturgeon Stock”.
The subvolcanic diorite, termed the “Ishkoday Stock”, is interpreted to intrude the felsic rhyolitic flows and felsic volcaniclastic rocks during progressive volcanism. The Sturgeon Stock and Coyle Lake Batholith (TTG plutons) are interpreted to postdate the volcanic/subvolcanic rocks.
Polymetallic (Zn-Cu-Fe +/-Ag, Au) veins, termed “Ishkoday-style”, occur within and adjacent to the main Ishkoday Stock subvolcanic diorite; and this mineralization is cut by the TTG intrusive rocks. These veins are interpreted to represent subvolcanic, intrusion-related mineralization, potentially analogous to basal parts of modern epithermal or VMS style mineralization. The mineralization is interpreted to occur in an extensional rift, as indicated by the presence of significant (up to 50% by volume) intermediate dikes and sills that are geochemically and texturally related to the Ishkoday Stock (Keaton Strongman, personal communication).
Gold and silver-bearing orogenic quartz veins, termed “Sturgeon River style”, postdate and overprint the early mineralization. These veins, and associated shear zones, commonly overprint and reactivate early mineralized planes, making discrimination of the mineralization type, and relative age, difficult. (David Lewis 2020).
Three deformational events are recognized at the Ishkoday Project. D2 can be directly related to orogenic gold mineralization (Sturgeon River style. The Paint Lake Fault and local TTG plutons are interpreted to be the major controls on gold-bearing quartz veins on the Ishkoday property.
The Paint Lake Fault most likely initiated as a D1, block-bounding, reverse fault during accretionary tectonics at the contact between the southern Quetico and northern Wabigoon subprovinces. During D2 transpression, the structure was reactivated as a first-order dextral strike slip fault. Bends in the structure are likely due to semi-rigid body deformation (rheology) of the Coyle, Sturgeon and Elmhirst plutons, which resulted in second-order NE-striking sinistral conjugate Riedel faults that most likely reactivated D0/D1 fault or vein planes.
Local variable (magnitude and orientation) stress fields around the Sturgeon Stock resulted in third-order folding and N-striking Riedel extensional faults. Late D3 deformation most likely resulted in N- to NW-striking brittle faults) (David Lewis 2020).


Banpu has acquired the remaining 78.4-per-cent stake in Asian American Coal (AACI) to consolidate its position in the Chinese coal sector and establish China as the company's third main geographic pole.
The investment of US$420 million (Bt13.81 billion) was made through Banpu's wholly owned subsidiary, BP Overseas Development (BPOD).
Banpu executives said in a statement to the Stock Exchange of Thailand that the acquisition was aimed at giving the company board and management control of AACI, thereby determining AACI's future strategy.
The acquisition involved the purchase of 32 million shares from other shareholders, which Banpu will need to finance from its cash flow and bank loans.
BPOD first became a shareholder in AACI in 2003. Established in the British Virgin Islands, AACI is engaged in investment in and development of coal-mining businesses in China.
AACI has a 56-per-cent shareholding in Shanxi Asian American Daning Energy (SAADEC) and a 45-per-cent shareholding in Shanxi Gaohe Energy (SGEC).
The partners in both of these joint ventures are large Chinese coal-mining groups.
SAADEC has a 25-year concession until 2025, with estimated anthracite reserves of around 88 million tonnes in Shanxi Province. After being commissioned in 2006, the mine produced 3.1 million tonnes last year.
Targeted coal production is about 4 million tonnes per annum. The coal is sold mainly to power and fertiliser industries in Shanxi and neighbouring provinces.
SGEC has a 30-year concession to develop an underground mine with estimated reserves of 191 million tonnes of semi-anthracite coal. The mine is currently under construction and will commence production by 2010 with a target capacity of 6 million tonnes per annum.
Banpu closed at Bt484 yesterday, up Bt16, or 3.42 per cent, from Thursday.
ACL Securities and KGI Securities (Thailand) said the share price could rise to between Bt540 and Bt560, due to higher coal prices.
ACL Securities said Banpu had bright earnings prospects, as rising coal prices would drive the company's sales revenue until next year.
KGI added that the low coal inventory in India gave further support for prices in the short term.


Subject to the provisions of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 2002, the Board encourages the development of the mining potential on Trust land for the benefit of communities.
This is done by way of mining rights surface leases – (these should not however be confused with mining permits which are issued by the Department of Mineral Resources). Applicants for mining permits are however required to consult and obtain the support of the Board as landowner.
Application for mining rights
Applicants for mining rights surface leases are required to complete and return an application form. Form ITB3 can be viewed or downloaded from this website.
The Board attempts to process these applications as timeousley as possible but delays may occur if the information requested has not been fully supplied or where a site survey is required.
Traditional Council Consent
It is a requirement of the Ingonyama Trust legislation that the formal consent of the relevant Traditional Council be obtained before a mining tenure rights application can be processed.
This should be in the form of the draft pro-forma ITB4 which can be viewed or downloaded from this website.
It is important to note that this formal consent is only required where the subject site falls within a proclaimed Traditional Council area. Applicants should confirm this with the Board’s Secretariat before approach is made to a Traditional Council.

Toronto, August 17, 2020 – O3 Mining Inc. (TSX.V:OIII) (“O3 Mining” or the “Corporation”) “) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling on its Malartic property situated midway between the towns of Val D’Or and Malartic, Quebec, and 12 kilometres from the Canadian Malartic Mine.
Following the completion of the summer drill program at East Cadillac, one drill has been mobilized to the Malartic property to expand existing zones along strike and at depth and to explore regional targets. The drilling will focus on the extensions of the Orion 8 (historic production of 22,252 oz Au at 5.82 g/t), Gold Hawk, Malartic H, North Shear and North-North zones located near the Marban Alliance deposit, where the company is currently conducting a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Additionally, regional targets around Marban Alliance will be tested. Approximately 30,000 metres out of the 150,000-metre drilling program has been allocated for the Malartic property.
“The Marban Alliance project is a very important asset in our multimillion-ounce portfolio” says President and CEO, Jose Vizquerra. “To begin drilling the extension of Marban Alliance at Gold Hawk is a very important milestone, because we will be able to test the high-grade potential at depth and along strike. The positive results at Gold Hawk will positively impact our Marban Alliance project”
The Malartic property is located approximately 3 kilometres north of the Cadillac Larder-Lake break and contains the Marbenite, Norbenite and North shears that run west-northwest across the property over more than 10 kilometres (Figure 1). The mineralization is mainly distributed along those shears and consists of quartz veining with disseminated pyrite hosted in iron-rich basalt and intermediate to felsic dykes within ultramafic flows. The Marbenite shear is related to the Marban Alliance deposit, the Gold Hawk zones and the Orion 8 zone. The Norbenite shear is related to the Norlartic and the Kierens deposits and the North shear to the North zone. The property also hosts the down-plunge extension of the mineralization related to the former Camflo mine. The mine infrastructure crosses the border of the Malartic property around level 2400, 800 metres below the surface and it has been mined out to a depth of 1,200 metres inside the property. The Camflo mine operated from 1965 to 1992 and produced 1.65Moz Au at 5.8 g/t (Quebec Ministry of Energy and Resources). Historic intervals on the property have the potential to deliver high-grade results distributed in many mineralized zones.
