Kinross Gold Corp. Nov. 10 reported that its global operations produced 680,679 gold-equivalent ounces during the third quarter of 2015. This is down slightly from the third quarter of last year, due to heavy rains hampering production at its Maricunga Mine in Chile. The company said strong production at its Fort Knox Mine in Alaska, Kupol-Dvoinoye operation in Russia and Round Mountain Mine in Nevada helped offset some of this loss. In terms of operational excellence, we saw...

A four-year rout in metals, coal and oil prices left Alaska's mining community digging deep for reasons to be optimistic during their annual gathering at the Alaska Miners Association convention in Anchorage. While depressed metals prices naturally cut into the bottom lines of those companies mining gold, silver, zinc, lead and coal in Alaska, the effects reverberate across the entire mining community. In order to adjust to lower metals prices, the producers have cut back on...

I believe that cow flatulence and the melting of permafrost emit methane and probably other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere; I believe that if people who live...

"It is outrageous that one federal agency would bypass everything else, all the processes, come to a predeterm...
