British Columbia, Yukon and Vancouver Mining 2011 E&MJ Release

July 02, 2011

The jurisdictions of British Columbia and Yukon and the city of Vancouver may appear a strange combination for one report, but each exemplifies the potential of the Canadian mining industry. British Columbia has an astonishing diversity of natural wealth, producing antimony, cadmium, copper, gold, iron ore, lead, molybdenum, silver, zinc, thermal and metallurgical coal and 30 industrial minerals. Meanwhile, Yukon is an unrivalled expanse of emptiness, but the discovery of vast quantities of gold has had geologists and prospectors rushing to the region. Finally, Vancouver is home to over 1200 junior companies, more than any city in the world. Canada is full of exciting opportunities.

Peru Mining 2024

After five months in Lima and more than 130 interviews, the conversations with C-executives along the Peruvian mining value chain touched on various topics. These included production targets, drilling results, the benefits of new technologies like the so-called “digital twins” to replicate reality in a virtual environment, and even the use of cartridge valves. However, a recurring theme in almost every interview, and perhaps the most significant one in relevance, is Peru's loss of its position as the second-largest copper producer to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
