  • The Yukon Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Board (YESAB) has recommended that the controversial Carmacks copper mine project can go ahead, providing that the Western Copper Corporation (TSX: WRN) complies with 148 conditions to mitigate potential adverse impacts. The tiny community of Carmacks with a year-round population of 500 is still considered an important service center for mining and for transportation, a century after it was a popular rest stop for the Yukon gold rush. However, members of the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation want Western Copper to negotiate a better environmental engineering solution as part of an Impacts Benefits Agreement with the community. Located 38km northwest of the Village of Carmacks and 192 km north of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, the Carmacks copper project is planned to be an open-pit operation that will yield about 14,000 tonnes of copper cathode annually. Western Copper has targeted production to begin during the fourth quarter of 2010.
  • "The Executive Committee recommends...the Project be allowed to proceed without a review, subject to specified terms and conditions, since it has determined that the Project will have significant adverse environmental and socio-economic effects in the Yukon that can be mitigated by those terms and conditions." Basically, the board reported that if the operators spend enough money and devote sufficient time environmental risks can be addressed.

  • here is just one problem. How did these delegates, from around the world, get to the conference? For the most part, they flew over land and sea in airplanes. Airplanes are known to be one of the bigger offenders of CO2 emissions. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that air travel causes 3.5 percent of global warming. This could increase to 15 percent by 2050.When landed, some potentates traveled by gas-guzzling limousine.

  • BHP Billiton, the Anglo-Australian mining group, yesterday reported better-than-expected half-year results but flagged concerns about its growth prospects as governments around the world looked to unwind stimulus measures.Marius Kloppers , chief executive, said many economies, notably the US, were still dependant on government stimulus.He said such measures had helped drive recovery but had not addressed structural issues such as weak labour markets and excess production capacity in developed economies."A further variable will be the impact of any measures to control loan growth in China ," he said.He added that in the short term Beijing was focused on containment of asset inflation."We remain cautious about the speed and strength of the global economic recovery across the developed world."But longer term prospects were "robust" on the back of growth in China and India, Mr Kloppers said.

  • BT Group's Group Strategy Director, Sean Williams, continued the discussion on extending services by identifying how the existing copper networks should continue to be used for many years ahead. He said: "We are moving at the pace of our customers and there is a lot that can be done with copper. Our business case is predicated on getting 20 per cent of our copper customers onto fibre, but I think it's completely naive to expect to get everyone on fibre -- not for a generation."

  • The application note explains that the most simplistic method of ferreting out CCA cable—weighing the box because if it is lighter than it should be, that’s a telltale sign of aluminum’s presence—has quickly been countered by the CCA producers who simply add gravel or something similar to the box to increase its weight.
