The successful remediation of legacy mine sites hinges on one core challenge: water. The long-term liability associated with contaminated water can threaten ecosystems and downstream communities for decades, an issue that is compounded in Canada’s north. This week’s Blog provides a case study in perpetual water management at Yukon’s Wolverine Mine.

With Budget 2025’s emphasis on critical minerals, infrastructure, Indigenous participation, and domestic capacity, it appears as though mining remains central to Canada’s growth and global relevance. This week’s Blog from BFL CANADA shows what the budget signals for the future of Canada’s mining sector.

Canadian mining is becoming more complex as operations move deeper underground, embrace automation and depend on global supply chains. But this also introduces new risks to mining operations. This week’s Blog from NFP, an Aon company, discusses how a proper risk management plan can build resilience and minimize downtime in an environment where every hour counts.

The global demand for potash is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by global population growth, agricultural intensification and the need to improve crop yields. This week’s Blog looks at how Sarens will contribute to this sustained growth of the sector through significant projects, such as the lifting operation for the installation of a 500,000-pound walking portal, intended for potash recovery in a new storage shed.

A positive turn marked the progress of Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. on Vancouver Island after a drill hole that was close to being considered completed ended up delivering one of the strongest intersections of the 2025 program. This week’s Blog shows how instantaneous geochemical data delivered by Veracio has helped detect a high-grade interval and expand the projection of the West Goodspeed target.

Amid growing global demand for critical metals that underpin the energy transition, Canadian company, Foran Mining, has adopted advanced technological tools to enhance the efficiency of its exploration program at its McIlvenna Bay project. This week’s Blog shows how this technology is shortening key timelines in remote drilling campaigns.

As TAKRAF Group approaches the close of its 300-year anniversary year – a remarkable and enviable milestone for any business, much less one in mining – the company continues to push innovation forward. This week’s Blog explores the TAKRAF’s three centuries of service and how the company is using this legacy to help bolster the future of mining in Canada.

The benefits of training should not be underestimated so long as that training robust and encourage problem-solving using modern methods and standards. This week’s Blog from Martin Engineering shows that, when you prioritize safety, training, and updating equipment, you can reap the rewards of fewer safety incidents, less regulatory oversight, higher productivity, and greater long-term profits.

Rising demand for critical metals is driving operators to adopt digital platforms to build smarter, faster mines. This week’s Blog from AVEVA discusses how Canada is stepping up and making major investments into its critical mineral resources to meet the demand.

With global supply chains under strain and an intensifying race for critical minerals, resource-rich nations like Canada are seeing a convergence of digitalization and energy demand, which represents both an economic opportunity and a strategic leverage. This week’s Blog from VJ Sahi at Clark Street Associates explores how Canadian mining companies can optimize these opportunities while minimizing the risks.
