Anaconda Mining
Back in 2014, I had the pleasure of writing about Anaconda Mining, a small company out of Toronto with a lot of clout. Environmentally and community friendly, this mainly gold mining company has grand plans for expansion. The acquisition of Orex is furthering the Goldboro project in Nova Scotia, the gold mine at Point Rousse in Newfoundland is active, and there are a host of ancillary endeavours. We spoke with its President and Chief Executive Officer Dustin Angelo.
Paraco Gas
Propane, a liquefied petroleum (LP) gas, has been an essential source of energy for over a century. What separates propane from other energy sources like gasoline, diesel, and electricity, are its portable convenience, efficiency, safety, affordability, abundance, and its reduced risks of spills and soil contamination. But perhaps more importantly, propane itself is not a greenhouse gas and, if accidentally released into the atmosphere before being burned, will not affect it – an important consideration when considering environmental impacts.
Hightowers Petroleum Company
Hightowers Petroleum Company (HPC) has a presence in every state and is currently the largest African-American-owned downstream petroleum wholesale marketer operating in the U.S. This family-owned business sells gasoline and diesel to automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers), grocery chains, the steel industry, utilities and other Fortune 500 companies, and it takes pride in its comprehensive service.

PosiGen
PosiGen provides solar and energy efficiency solutions with a unique approach. Rather than customizing solar products for individual houses, the company offers three separate sizes that work for every customer.

This method allows PosiGen to drive its cost of installing solar down lower than any other company in the industry.
Marine Conservation in a Resource-Based World
Deliberately or accidentally dumped into the world’s oceans, pollutants like plastic, oil, fertilizers, pesticides, and raw sewage are responsible for declining water quality, reduced biodiversity, and dwindling marine life.
Water Use in the Resource Sector
Water – it’s simply our most precious resource, and few industries depend on reliable sources of water more than mining, oil and gas, and pulp and paper. Whether in mineral extraction, in processing, or in dust suppression in mining, or mixed with chemicals and proppants and fracking fluid for oil extraction, water’s importance to the world’s resource sector is immeasurable.

Logistics in the Resource Sector
Logistics are vital to well-organized supply chain management (SCM) – to keeping goods and services flowing. All industries rely on SCM, and few are more dependent on finely tuned logistics than the resource sector.
Axium Solar
Long before we were dealing with serious climate change concerns and encouraging industries to “go green” around the globe, there was solar power — converting energy from sunlight into electricity, directly through the use of photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination of both. Axium Solar specializes in the photovoltaic method, designing and constructing high-quality systems to make the world both affordable and sustainable.
Biothermic

Timmons Oil Company
Family-owned Timmons Oil Company of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Springdale, Arkansas specializes in on- and off-road diesel fuel, as well as lubricants, heavy-duty oils, and exhaust fluid – which is in particularly high in demand.
The Texas Oil and Gas Association
The Texas Oil and Gas Association (TXOGA) has a simple message: oil and natural gas are good for Texas and the United States in general. Oil and natural gas drive the Texas economy, generating billions of dollars in annual royalties and taxes while providing high-paying jobs to nearly 350,000 people. Surging oil and natural gas production has enhanced domestic security by making the U.S. less dependent on foreign fuel sources, while industry-funded innovations have had a positive environmental impact.
A Look at Alternative Fuels
For decades, the world’s relationship with oil has been akin to a dysfunctional marriage: some believe we can live with it, others say we should live without it.
The NMT Group
Manufacturing company Nordic Minesteel Technologies was founded in 1993 as Minesteel Fabricators Limited by President and Owner Ron Elliot.

(or the NMT Group).
