Mining; the life blood of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which became renowned for its massive supplies of iron, nickel, and copper ores. The sanctity of the residents living in Northern Michigan were dependent on the flow of natural resources coming from the mines, where many flocked to the growing cities to find work. Despite the wealth the region found in mining, it vanished once the prices of these metals dropped, where most mines were abandoned. Mining has once again taken root in the Upper Peninsula, with promises of jobs and greater economic and environmental security. The impacts of such promises once caused the region to flourish, yet left a scar the people and environment

In the first installment of the sustainability evening lecture series we got to hear from Miles Howe on Defining Elsipogtog: The Anatomy of a Struggle. Howe is a journalist for Media Co-Op, an independent Canadian news site (McGuire, 2013). Back in 2013, there were plans for a hydraulic fracking project in New Brunswick, this project was met with a lot of resistance from both the local community and from across the nation. The plan for the proposed hydraulic fracking site was to use about 1/7th of the province to extract shale gas. The government of New Brunswick hoped that this would both stimulate the economy and create jobs for locals, so that people did not have to search out of province to find jobs, such as working in the oil fields

The oil sands have been Canada’s major contributor to their economic activity for many years. The oil industry has led to benefits for other industries such as business services, manufacturing, retail, finance and insurance. The impacts of the oil sands economically can also be seen in the national employment rates and statistics. People are immigrating from countries outside of Canada and other regions of Canada to move to Alberta in order to get high-paying jobs from the development of the oil sands. Recently Canada’s cost for oil has increased and oil sands producers are struggling as oil prices begin to plummet, and even the most efficient

One of the main provincial tools to provide foundational support for First Nations projects comes through the BC First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund.

Morris Mining Corporation owns and operates mining facilities that are located in the United States, and Canada. This company primarily distributes extracted ores and minerals to their customers. Recently, in January 2015, Morris Mining acquired the mining company King Co.

Rob, an audit manager on the Morris Mining engagement, and Gabriela, the audit senior, are trying to evaluate if the method of the fair value estimate it reasonable.

Midwest Copper Mining’s (MCM) biggest problem they are facing is that of sustaining supportable profit growth, as the undercurrents of the copper mining industry are changing. In particular, they need to figure out how they are going to increase their capacity to meet demands globally. They also need to figure out how to do this without disrupting the current culture of the business. They have been very successful and have created process and procedures that have kept them sustainable over the years. With the changing of the copper industry, MCM needs to re-evaluate their business strategy, make changes as necessary, in order to continue to be a successful company that is both a cost-leader and a differentiator.

My mother is going to drive my sister and I to Midland, North Carolina next weekend so that I can write my visitation paper on Reed Gold Mine. There were two main reasons I chose Reed Gold Mine to do my visitation paper on. The first reason I chose Reed Gold Mine was because it was one of the closest places to me. The second reason was because my sister and mother thought that it would be fun to take a weekend to go “mining” at the place that gold was first discovered in the United States. Reed Gold Mine was the first documented discovery of gold in the United States. Since the time of the landmark’s discovery some of the mining tunnels and other things on the property have been restored and made available for tours. Today the non profit organization,

In 1988 David Walsh founded a company that would cause a billions of Canadian dollars to be lost, the implementation of securities and exchange regulations, and the greatest gold mining fraud to date. However, the question that remains to be answered is who was truly at fault, and could the company have been honest and ethical in their actions?
