The Canadian Mining Roundup is a business and information tool for decision-makers in the sector and covers activities in the Canadian mining sector over the past month. The roundup presents the information in an easy-to-read disaggregated format, covering exploration and feasibility studies, projects, operations, labour and safety, logistics, corporate activity and general trends in the sector, as well as details of Canadian companies operating in other countries.

This month’s roundup includes details of developer Atrum Coal’s acquisition of an additional 12 licences and one application from Anglo Pacific Group, covering about 10 235 ha; Canada’s federal and provincial Mines Ministers’ support for the Mining Association of Canada and the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s efforts to enhance the transparency of mining-sector payments to governments; and Brazil’s Federal Court of Appeals’ decision to strike down a June ruling by a Federal Judge of the First Level in Altamira, which revoked the environmental licence for TSX-listed mine developer Belo Sun’s Volta Grande openpit project.

This report is a summary of information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as of information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
