Belgium expands probe into zinc miner Nyrstar

A new breed of Australian gold miners has engineered an renaissance that is winning the world's attention.

BHP has cut $130 million from this year's planned $330 million capital expenditure to develop and study the feasibility of the project.

Group of 42 Congolese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) say difficult market conditions do not justify further delays.

The country's western provinces, especially Alberta, would be most affected if low oil prices were to persist over the next seven years.

Swedish mining and smelting company Boliden AB will pay cash for Kevitsa mine.

Company only confirmed it was in talks with a “third party” about a “potential transaction.”

Full recovery not expected until after 2020.

This is the second company allowed to proceed on breeding grounds against the advice of N.W.T. government.

The infractions include not implementing measures to control emissions, altering the natural habitat for native wildlife, and operating a tailings dam in an unauthorized fashion.
