Underground aggregate extraction for Ring of Fire road will deliver both practical and environmental solutions
The proposed Eagle’s Nest mine will “set a new benchmark for what mining could look like” in the Ring of Fire, said its Australian developer.
The Ring of Fire is a minerally enriched area of wetlands in the James Bay region, some 500 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay.To be built on the current site of the company’s Esker exploration camp, Eagle’s Nest will run as net-zero greenhouse gas emitting operation with a fully electric mining fleet, powered by zero-emissions energy sources.
After conversations with government and their First Nation partners, the company has agreed to mine aggregate from below the surface at Eagle’s Nest for use as road base. The voids created will be backfilled with tailings from the mine operation. Prior to the acquisition, Noront had consolidated a large 156,000-hectare package through staking and acquisition in the Ring.
Their exploration ground also holds three VMS camps “with a lot of potential” and promising gold occurrences worth following up on. VMS deposits are rich sources of metals such copper, lead and zinc, which can also contain precious metals such as gold and silver.

Investigation into underground mining cable is urgent to ensure safetyReports being received by the media about the South African National Standards (SANS) mark being printed on a certain type of underground mining cable, even though the cable appears to be non-compliant with SANS stipulations, is concerning. Insight provided to the media suggests that such cable is placing underground mining at unnecessary risk. Most mining companies take safety very seriously and as a first step, they should ensure that cable bought has inspection authority certification from accredited test laboratories. Stringent flameproof enforcement in underground coal mining in particular is an absolute must. As public sector enforcement appears to be absent, consideration should be given to the formation of a private sector organisation tasked with ensuring that safety-critical products conform with laid-down standards.
