 The Canadian mining industry is well known for its high standards of sustainability and ethical practices. And when combined with a stable political landscape, it's no surprise that Canada is one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Canada also has a diverse set of minerals and therefore there are many types of mines you can work at in Canada. And here are 8 examples of these mines. The first one is Copper Mountain. The Copper Mountain mine is a confessional open pit, truck and shovel operation located just 20 kilometers south of Princeton, British Columbia. It is a copper gold porphyry deposit that has an expected mine life of 31 years. Copper Mountain is proud of its commitment to achieve mining association of Canada's Towards Sustainable Mining Standard, including having the AA tailings management rating in early 2020, which is the second highest level rating a mining company can get. In another part of the BC province, we have Tex Fording River coal mine, which is located 29 kilometers northeast of the Elkford community. The coal mine here is used to produce metallurgical coal, which is an essential ingredient in steel production. The mine life is expected to last for another 43 years based on proven and probable reserves. One exciting innovation being implemented here is the usage of machine learning for predictive maintenance, where data is being used to predict equipment failures before they happen using machine learning algorithms. Over in the next province of Alberta lies Suncore's Millennium Oil Sands Mine. Millennium is one of the largest open pit oil sands mine in the region, producing 330,000 barrels of bitumen per day, and is upgraded before being distributed through the 1,850 Petro Canada stations across Canada. The Millennium Mine is the first mine in Canada to deploy the autonomous haul trucks, which will help improve safety performance, improve operating efficiency, and lower operating costs. Jumping over into the next province in Saskatchewan is Stutrient's Corey Underground Potash Mine. Potash is an important commodity used in fertilizers, animal feed, and various industrial applications, such as soaps, deisers, and more. Because potash is considered a soft commodity, as in it is physically softer than say the host rock of underground gold mines, the Corey Mine uses continuous mining it machines to excavate the potash and then transfers it up to the surface using conveyor belts. Also into Saskatchewan is the world's highest grade uranium mine, which is Kamiko's Cigar Lake. As you may have guessed, the uranium mine is used to power nuclear reactors around the world to generate carbon-free electricity. The Cigar Lake's ore deposit is a challenging one to mine and requires a unique mining method called jet boring, which requires freezing the ore and the host rock to negative 40 degrees Celsius before a set of drill holes and high pressure water jets is used to bore through the ore body while the loose ore is collected underneath. In the province of Ontario lies Newmont Gold Corp's Muscle White underground gold mine, and it is a fly-in, fly-out operation located roughly 500 kilometers north of the city of Thunder Bay. The mining methods used in this operation includes both overhand and underhand cotton fill as well as long-haul stoping. Next is the moss pit. The moss pit is an extension of the current iron ore Canada's operations in Labrador City, in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and is expected to extend the mine life to 50 years. Not much is known about this mining operation publicly, other than the announcement of the opening in 2018. The iron ore products is shipped to various customers around the world in the US, Middle East, Europe and Asia. Lastly, heading up north is the Daivik Diamond Mine located 305 kilometers northeast of Yellow Knife in the Northwest Territories. It is both an open pit and underground mine, but it faces some of the most challenging mining conditions due to the cold northern climates and the surrounding water. This diamond mine also boasts a hybrid wind diesel power facility, which offsets Daivik's diesel use by over 26 million liters and reduces the overall greenhouse gas emissions by 73,000 tons since 2012. So there you have it, eight mines that you can work at in Canada. Of course, there are many, many other more mines that you can work at in Canada, but I chose these eight mines because each of them focus on different commodities and there's a unique innovation being used as those minesites. Which country do you want me to do next? Let me know in the comments below and I'll see you next time.
