Canadian Mining Roundup – October 2013

The Canadian Mining Roundup is a business and information tool for decision-makers in the sector and covers activities in the Canadian mining sector over the past month. The roundup presents the information in an easy-to-read disaggregated format, covering exploration and feasibility studies, projects, operations, labour and safety, logistics, corporate activity and general trends in the sector, as well as details of Canadian companies operating in other countries. This month’s roundup includes details of a fourth mineralised zone at uranium explorer Fission Uranium and joint venture partner Alpha Minerals’ flagship Patterson Lake South property, on the western side of Canada’s Athabasca basin; chromite mining hopeful KWG Resources’ disappointment in the near three-year delay of a planned railway into the prospective Ring of Fire; and Inova Resources' advice to shareholders to accept a $160-million takeover offer from China’s Shanxi Donghui Coal Coking & Chemicals Group.
