Changes to CASL implementation |
The federal government has suspended implementation of certain parts of Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which would have allowed individuals to take legal action against any company that sent them an email they did not want to receive. CASL is a set of rules that came into force in 2014 for organizations and individuals sending commercial electronic messages. Parts of the legislation were delayed until July 1, 2017 giving organizations a grace period to come into compliance. A parliamentary committee will review the legislation. Learn more.  |

Top 40 miners return to profit in 2016 |
|
According to a new PwC report, the top 40 mining companies had aggregate profits of $20 billion in 2016, compared to $28 billion in 2015, in terms of market capital. However, any new revenues appear to be going to debt repayment rather than capital expenditures or exploration. Capital expenditures were down 41% in 2016 to a record low of just $50 billion. For the fourth consecutive year, the industry reduced spending on exploration with $7.2 billion invested in 2016, barely one-third of the record $21.5 billion in 2012. Learn more |

Learning realities of mineral exploration |
|
PDAC’s 11th Student-Industry Mineral Exploration Workshop (S-IMEW) hosted geoscience students in Sudbury, Ontario from May 4-19. They had the unique opportunity to go underground at the Timmins West and Bell Creek gold mines, toured Glencore Smelter, and took part in mapping exercises with Wallbridge mining and the Ontario Geological Survey, and took a trip to Pykes Hill komatiites. Thank you to our 95 plus volunteers and the sponsors who make S-IMEW possible. Learn more |
