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.

We spoke with its President and Chief Executive Officer Dustin Angelo.
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.
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).

The Changing Face of the Resource Workforce
As we enter the new decade, today’s resource sector companies are facing greater challenges than ever before. Mining, oil and gas, hydroelectricity, agriculture, and other industries are facing pressure to produce more while increasing profits, reducing waste, remaining cost-effective, and respecting environmental regulations. To achieve these goals and others, logistics is the key.
