Mining jobs in Canada to go begging: MiHR report

PotashCorp. still plans to close the old mine.

Costs and challenges for mining the Arctic, meanwhile, on their way up.

Sources close to X2 Resources, Davis' new company, have cast doubts on reports that the firm had made an offer.

The world’s biggest miner unveiled details about how it expects to meet cost-reduction and productivity improvement targets.

The company is approaching the end of a decade-long, US$8.3-billion investment program to boost its potash production capacity.

The miner intersected multiple potash seams at the second exploration drill hole at its Lac Dinga potash project.

Although Potash Corp. is a vital player in the agriculture industry, this has not led to a strong performance in the stock market in 2014, as its shares have uderperformed the TSX Composite Index’s 4.5% gain.

The mining giant has made a sharp U-turn on its initial decision to snub a London listing for its $17 billion spinoff.

The former Xstrata boss' new venture, X2 Resources, is "currently reviewing a number of opportunities in the metals and mining sector."
