Manufacture Adria
Manufacture Adria is no stranger to the mining community. The company, which started out as an offshoot from another electrical contractor, has been a part of the industry for over a quarter of a century.

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

The size of the system installed on a house is based on the consumption of energy in the home and the total roof size available considering shading issues. This method allows PosiGen to drive its cost of installing solar down lower than any other company in the industry.

… and Everywhere a Concern
In mining, oil and gas, and heavy industry, water is essential—but let’s remember that it’s essential to life, too…
