A recent survey conducted in Australia shows that although their mining sector is enjoying a boom, services sector is in an opposite condition. Most of the contraction was caused by a decline in new orders among the various players in the services sector while sales and prices also fell.

"All of the respondents were involved in perpetrating a systemic massive fraud on Alberta and other investors, involving a complicated web of domestic and offshore corporate and other entities, bank accounts and offerings," the commission said Friday. "Investment fraud is reprehensible and completely unacceptable capital-market misconduct; instances of fraud in the capital market severely threaten the public's confidence and sense of fairness in the whole of our capital market." The case centres around a now-defunct company called Arbour Energy, which the ASC says illegally raised $45.5 million from investors. Arbour was led by Dennis Morice, who, according to the ASC decision, considered himself a "bit player" and "cog" in a scheme led by Milowe Brost and Gary Sorenson - two men charged in a separate high-profile alleged Ponzi scheme in 2009. Morice faces the smallest penalty of the three men - a $150,000 fine, an order to pay $50,000 to cover the cost of the investigation and hearing and a variety of bans. Arbour itself faces no financial penalties, but it's been barred from trading in and purchasing securities, among other things. In its decision, the ASC said Brost's misconduct was "the most egregious" of the three men. Brost led the Institute For Financial Learning, which he claimed was an "information club" but the ASC contends was really used to sell investors stock in Arbour and other entities connected to Brost. Brost has been fined $3 million and ordered to pay $85,000 in costs, the second-highest fine against an individual in ASC history. IFFL must pay back $10 million of the funds it gained from the fraud and pay $85,000 in costs. "We conclude Brost has not recognized the seriousness of his misconduct and the devastating consequences that he caused to Alberta and other investors. These circumstances heighten the need for severe sanction," the ASC panel said in its decision. Sorenson led a private Alberta junior mining company called Merendon, whi

The pioneers in progressive mine rehabilitation is one of the greatest assets in departmentalizing mining stereotypes. Environmentally friendly procedures and more and more miscellaneous ecosystems are becoming the standard as companies regard local ecosystem rehabilitation as a part of the on-going mining process. To better understand these progressive rehab techniques, here are some words from Idemitsu Australia Resources Corporate Sustainability and Environment Manager Dr. Jan Green and Parsons Brinckerhoff Team Manager, Alex Cockerill. "There's an increasing focus on establishing complex and diverse natural ecosystems as part of mine rehabilitation," she says. "With progressive rehab, it takes a much shorter time after the mine closes before the original flora and fauna can take over naturally." Her existing project is a 6- to 7-year-old mine that will sooner or later go back to a box gum woodland with white box gum trees. She explains that one of the biggest challenges is keeping up with the mining as it happens. A strict schedule of clearing between summer and autumn allows species, for example, to nest in the winter and raise young in the spring. Cockerill says the team salvages hollow logs and timber for the provision of supplementary fauna habitats within the rehabilitation, and collects the seeds of local species of plant from the adjoining forest for propagation in a nursery. By means of local species, it provides them a better chance of growing for the reason that the topsoil is recreated with greater accurateness. Sequentially, local fauna, from invertebrates to birds and mammals, are attracted to familiar landscapes. "With the progressive establishment of increasingly complex vegetation structure and diversity these ecosystems encourage more local species back onto the mine site," Cockerill explains. "It's then supported by biodiversity monitoring to target measurable performance criteria throughout the life of the mine and
