SP Robotic CSM*
EPCM is a leading supplier of Stainless Steel Cathodes and Cathode Stripping Systems for the base metal electro-refining and electrowinning industry. Our systems have a range of automation levels that vary from 40 to 500 cathodes per hour. Since 1992, EPCM has been involved in projects that are utilizing more than 750,000 cathodes and which produce over four million tonnes of copper annually. Our development and continuous improvement programs have created innovations which are a major benefit to copper producers around the world. Some of the innovation highlights are: Robotic material handling SP Cathode washing Under running transfer car Full length edgestrip press

Superior Performance
EPCM cathode washing and stripping systems utilize robotic technology for material handling. The benefits of robotics over conventional carousel and linear conveyor systems are: Reliability Leveraging the rigorous reliability demands of the automotive industry, EPCM brought this standard to the tankhouse by pioneering the Robotic CSM. The robots used in the EPCM stripping systems have a history of over 64,000 operating hours between major failures (MTBF). Flexibility The use of robots increases operating and layout flexibility. Since the stripping stations are modular, multiple stations can be used to increase operating capacity. As well, optional stations such as sampling, corrugating and clinching can easily be added to an existing system without a major cost or down time. Noise Reduction The use of robots for stacking eliminates the need for traditional sheet stackers which drop sheets a greater distance generating higher noise levels. Lower Capital Cost In most applications, a robotic stripping system can be installed on a flat floor slab without the requirement for extensive pits and machine foundations. Improved Maintainability The use of robots results in a better equipment installation for maintenance and cleaning access. Energy Efficient The robots utilize efficient servo motor drives which have greater electrical efficiency than hydraulic systems commonly used on custom material handling equipment.

review of railway service Levels


In 2007, the federal government tabled changes to the Canada Transportation Act aimed at strengthening provisions that protect rail shippers from the potential abuse of market power by railways. The changes were supported by The Mining Association of Canada and the Canadian mining industry, and became law in February 2008. They helped improve the competitive balance between the interests of shippers (lower rates, better service) and those of rail companies (higher rates and profitability) by strengthening the ability to arbitrate disputes over rail fees and ancillary charges. As a follow-up to these legislative changes, the federal government is undertaking a review of railway service levels. The intent of the review is to assess service by Cn and Cp, identify problems, examine best practices, and recommend commercial, regulatory or other remedies that would improve levels of service. It is expected this review will conclude in late 2010.

Canadian Mining Facts

As an important employer of Aboriginal Canadians, the mining industry has signed agreements with the Assembly of First Nations in recent years to further cooperation on policy initiatives. At the company level, impact benefit agreements (iBAs) can facilitate progress on extractive and exploration projects while providing investment in Aboriginal education, training and jobs. There are an estimated 120 such agreements in place relating to mineral projects. Aboriginal communities can play a role in helping industry meet the broader human resources challenge of hiring an estimated 10,000 new workers per year over the coming decade to meet business demand and replace retiring workers.

Canadian Mining Facts

The clean energy and environmental technologies of today and tomorrow use metals and minerals as fundamental building blocks. Water purification systems, for example, rely on nickel and a host of rare earth elements. Hybrid vehicles draw energy from nickel hydride batteries. Catalytic converters require cerium and palladium. Cleaner energy sources, whether nuclear, solar, wind or hydrogen, all use a range of minerals and metals in their equipment and processes. Efficient lightweight vehicles and aircraft require aluminum and emerging, still lighter composites and alloys involving nickel and other metals.

l Cme BLastinG and mininG equipment Ltd.
CME Blasting and Mining Equipment your answer to keeping drilling costs down and production levels high. As everyone in the drilling industry already knows, it is crucial for carbides to maintain their like new profile in order for the bit to perform well. Flat-faced carbides, usually found when drilling hard, abrasive rock, do not allow energy transfer in the form of rock crushing. As a result, the impact energy is reflected back up the drill string and rig. This promotes excessive wear on equipment. Other serious side effects include breakage and shearing of the carbide leading to complete bit failure. Extensive research and development of the Robot Arm ESD II has changed the traditional views on grinding carbides. Noisy, long grinding intervals are something of the past. The second generation ESD grinder is truly a breakthrough into the next generation of button bit grinding. Fast, consistent, relatively clean and precise grinding is right at your fingertips.

l CypHer environmentaL Ltd.


Cypher Environmental Ltd. has three environmentally friendly, costeffective products that can be utilized on any mine site. EarthZyme a is nontoxic soil stabilizer used on clay-based soils that reduces road-maintenance costs due to the increased and lasting compaction and strength values that result from the products application. Increased densities are produced after the products application, which means higher CBR values, higher load-bearing capabilities and reduced permeability, which allows the haul roads to be used even during wet weather. Dust Stop is a 100% environmentally friendly dust suppressant that effectively eliminates unwanted fugitive dust from haul roads. Dust Stop comes in powder form, works on any soil type and is equally effective on stockpiles as it is on haul roads. UltraZyme is a blend of environmentally friendly cultures specifically designed to remediate organic wastes and provide odor control in a variety of water and waste-water treatment related applications.

Copper is the new Gold


Copper remains a bellwether commodity with demand tied closely to economic growth and consumption of wire, computer chips, electronics and vehicles. Copper is attracting attention from analysts, particularly regarding whether the price increases seen through 2009 are sustainable. Prices have continued to increase through mid2010 to US$3 per pound, and metals consultancy GFMS projects that prices could exceed US$4 toward end-2010 as production has difficulty keeping up with consumption.

new trend in mineral processing

Canadian Mining Facts

Canada has a significant mineral-processing industry, with 33 nonferrous metal smelters and refineries operating in six provinces. Some of these facilities contain both a smelter and a refinery. In the past, Canadas integrated smelters and refineries typically accompanied development of a worldclass mine and were located inland without access to low-cost marine transport. As local ore reserves became depleted and production of base-metal concentrate declined, Canadas smelters and refineries moved from integrated production toward a more costly custom treatment of concentrates from other nations.

mining is the economic engine of Canada


Canadas mining industry is a major driver of Canadian prosperity, contributing $32 billion to GDP in 2009 and employing 306,000 workers in mineral extraction, processing and manufacturing. While the industry is important in remote communities, it also generates prosperity in our major cities. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary and Saskatoon all feature areas of global mining leadership. As well, there are more than 3,200 companies, which provide inputs to the industry, ranging from engineering services to drilling equipment. The industry paid around $5.5 billion in taxes and royalties to federal, provincial and territorial governments in 2009 down by half from the pre-recession levels of the previous year, though still a significant contribution. The Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Manitoba and British Columbia governments all typically derive a significant portion of their revenue from the mining industry.

Excellence beyond screening

the future of uranium


Global demand for uranium has increased considerably in recent years, as countries embark on new nuclear energy programs or expand existing programs. This trend is reinforced by concern over air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with fossil-fuel combustion. The value of uranium produced in Canada increased 82% in 2005, 26% in 2006 and 76% in 2007, reflecting the strengthened global price and supply/demand situation. Canadian production value has increased by an estimated 50% in 2009 as prices have rebounded somewhat. The medium- and long-term direction for nuclear energy and uranium demand remains positive. It is estimated by Ux Consulting that 100 new reactors could be built worldwide over the coming two to three decades, including an estimated 41 reactors in 25 new countries. China envisions a six-fold increase in its nuclear energy capacity to 50 GW by 2020, while Russia projects adding 23 GW of nuclear power annually to 2030. In the U.S., some 38 reactors have recently been granted licence extensions and 15 new reactors are anticipated by 2015. The McArthur River uranium mine in northern Saskatchewan is the worlds largest and highest grade deposit, with an average ore grade of 21% and annual production of around 8,200 tons of uranium oxide. However, production levels in Kazakhstan and Africa are projected to increase over the coming decades. In June 2009, Uranium One announced its purchase of a 50% share of the Karatau uranium mine in Kazakhstan, which is expected to triple production over the next four years. Arevas large Imouraren uranium mine in Niger is scheduled for commissioning in 2010 and full production in 2012.

truck Cargo mirrors Base metals markets

Canadian Mining Facts

As detailed in its 2009 Transportation in Canada publication, Transport Canada reports trucks carried $137 billion worth of Canadian exports in 2008 (down 20% from the previous year, reflecting the recession), of which $13 billion or 9.3% was base metals and articles of base metal. Of the $193 billion in imports shipped by truck, $15 billion (7.7%) was base metals and articles of base metal. Only small quantities of minerals, ores and concentrates are traded by truck around 0.5% of total truck exports and 0.1% of imports.

rank of Canadas diamond production rises in world markets


Canada has presented a particularly interesting story in diamonds over the past 12 years, progressing from zero production value to the worlds third-ranked diamond producer during this period. Canadian diamonds, mined in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Ontario, account for 13% of global production. Canadian diamond exports totaled $2.8 billion in 2008, versus zero exports in 1998. These Canadian exports are primarily sold to Antwerp and London for further processing, although some processing is conducted in the NWT. Some 10% of the diamonds from De Beers Victor Mine, which came into production in Ontario in 2008, will be cut and polished locally. One new facility for this purpose, Crossworks Manufacturing, is located in Sudbury. From 1998 to 2004, the Diavik and EKATI mines produced $6 billion worth of high-quality diamonds. The Diavik mine reached full production in 2004, producing seven to eight million carats per year. The first half of 2008 saw strong growth in Canadian production, with the opening of two new De Beers mines, Snap Lake in the NWT and Victor in northern Ontario. By year-end, however, the global industry suffered a setback as the recession took hold and demand for luxury goods such as jewelry declined. This resulted in a drop in a 40-50% drop in average rough prices, as well as in temporary mine shutdowns during 2009 for most leading diamond-producing countries. On a positive note, the Snap Lake and Victor projects have entered into full production, culminating a 40-year Canadian diamond exploration and development effort for De Beers.

Canadas oil sands Continue to produce


Oil sands development increased wealth and economic activity in western Canada during the past decade, creating 200,000 jobs that helped to offset job losses in Canadas manufacturing sector. Fort McMurray in Alberta, the hub of oil sands activity, has grown from a population of 6,000 in 1968 to around 80,000 in 2008. Until the recent recession, it was felt that labour cost and availability issues could serve to curtail investment in the oil sands, as the cost of equipment, labour and supplies had increased considerably and availability had tightened. However, growth and investment returned to the region and sector through mid-2009, as oil prices rebounded to $70 from the 2008 $40 per barrel. Prices remain in this range as of mid-2010. Enbridge has proposed a dual pipeline between Edmonton and coastal facilities in Kitimat, B.C., that could open up Asian market potential and move a projected half-million barrels per day to Asian markets. There have been noteworthy investments by Chinese entities in the oil sands during the past year including a $5 billion investment in Syncrude and more are anticipated in the coming years.

Cameses participation in international mining events
Each year, CAMESE monitors information on mining events that take place all over the world including conventions, conferences, symposia and exhibitions. After an initial evaluation based on market size, mining activities, potential business opportunities and/or previous editions of the events, we make a selection for presentation to the associations membership to determine the interest of individual member companies. On average, 10 to 12 events are chosen annually by CAMESE for participation and organization of a Canadian contingent. CAMESE also partakes in the initiation and organization of other events such as small conferences, workshops, teleconferences and mining trade missions in cooperation with Canadian government institutions.
