Canadian comet triggered the 'Big Freeze' 12,900 years ago: study

A comet that came crashing down over Canada roughly 12,900 years ago may have killed off the continent's megafauna and triggered a thousand years of global cooling,according to research by Professor Mukul Sharma of Darmouth University.

Sharma's work offers a new explanation of theYounger Dryas, or "Big Freeze" climactic period, which saw temperatures drop significantly around 13,000 years ago.

He and his team located concentrations of crystalline rocks, "formed by temperatures of 2,000 degrees Celsius," that Sharma thinks were the result of impact from an extraplanetary body, which led to the freeze:

"[The extraplanetary body] definitely came down in Quebec…just north of the St. Lawrence River," he told the Register.

The Younger Dryas is considered to have pushed humanity out of its hunter-gatherer stage and into agriculture. It's also cited as having killed off such North American megafauna as saber-tooth cats and giant camels.

The fix-it job on a major piece of machinery at Syncrude Canada Ltd. has wrapped up, but with it comes worries for the largest stakeholder in the oil sands consortium.

Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., which controls 36.74 per cent of the project, but does not serve as its operator, may be pinched after summer maintenance at one of its cokers took longer than expected. Cokers are key to upgrading bitumen and now Canadian Oil Sands is in danger of missing its production target.

The company has already lowered its production expectations twice this year. Canadian Oil Sands reduced its estimate for its share of Syncrude’s bitumen production to 100 to 104 million barrels for 2013, with a “single-point estimate” of 102 million barrels when it reported its second-quarter earnings in July. But now at least one analyst thinks even the low end of the company’s forecast is out of reach after repairs took 21 days longer than expected.

Phil Skolnick, an analyst at Cannacord Genuity, believes Canadian Oil Sands’ production in 2013 will come in at 98 million barrels. His estimate is based on Syncrude’s historical production: The project would have to operate at near-record rates in order to hit the company’s most recent target, he calculates.

Syncrude would have to average 325,000 barrels of bitumen per day in order for Canadian Oil Sands’ take to reach the low end of its guidance, Mr. Skolnick said in a note to clients.

“We feel this is unachievable,” he said. There have only been seven times since the beginning of 2010 that the project has met rates at or above this level, and never for more than two consecutive months, he said.

Syncrude was slated to perform maintenance on the coker in the second half of 2013, but instead started earlier because of unplanned maintenance outage at a related boiler unit. The so-called turnaround on the coker started June 10 and was expected to last 50 days, analysts at RBC Dominion Securities said.

They called the delay “slightly negative.” Canadian Oil Sands announced the return of its coker Tuesday evening.

The company did not address whether its production would be affected by the maintenance when it announced the coker’s return. Canadian Oil Sands did not return a call seeking comment. An Imperial Oil spokeswoman said her company does not provide production guidance, and Suncor Energy Inc. did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Imperial and Suncor are Syncrude’s next two largest investors.

Those companies, however, do not rely on Syncrude to the same degree as does Canadian Oil Sands. Syncrude, one of the country’s largest oil sands mining projects, is that company’s only asset.

Mr. Skolnick noted the company expects changes at one of Syncrude’s mines to improve the project’s operations. However, this is not enough to sway the analyst. “Given the extended turnaround and guidance decrease, we are taking a ‘show me’ stance on the matter.”

In bid to cut red tape, B.C. eases permit process for mining companies

Mining companies will be able to apply for exploration permits online for existing mine sites, as the B.C. government cuts red tape for the booming sector.

Natural Resources Minister Steve Thomson says low-impact activities such as exploration drilling and induced polarization, which uses an electrical current to measure deposits in the ground, can now be undertaken through the website FrontCounter BC.

Mining companies will have to give the province 30 days notice of the exploration work, for the information to be referred to area First Nations.

Companies will also be able to go online to extend the timing of previously approved exploration work up to two years.

Thomson says his ministry is reducing bureaucracy so that companies can create jobs more quickly.

Last year, mining companies spent $680-million on exploration in the province, and the Liberal government has committed to opening eight new mines and expanding nine existing mines over the next two years as part of its B.C. Jobs Plan.

Offtake partner prepays Canada Lithium $5m

Canadian lithium producer Canada Lithium Corp on Tuesday said it would receive a $5-million prepayment from Chinese offtake partner Tewoo-ERDC (Tianjin Products and Energy Resources Development).

The company said the prepayment would strengthen the Tewoo/Canada Lithium relationship as the two companies continued to advance their lithium carbonate business in China.

Canada Lithium and Tewoo were also in discussions about future prepayments based on further milestone achievements.

The funding from Tewoo would be used for working capital purposes as the company continued to commission the Québec Lithium project located near Val d'Or, Quebec.

At the end of August, the company announced a three-week suspension of commissioning activities at its process plant for maintenance and upgrades. Operations were scheduled to restart by mid-September, and the company would subsequently restart lithium carbonate shipments to Tewoo, in China, in October.

The project was still scheduled to complete commissioning and be at full production by the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Meanwhile, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice had on August 28 permitted a class-action lawsuit, initiated by Ontario-based Siskinds LLP against Canada Lithium for misrepresentation of mineral resources, to go to trial.

John Keyton and Hugh Latimer, on behalf of various shareholders, accused the lithium miner of supplying misleading information in an October 2010 resource statement and a January 2011 prospectus regarding the volume of mineralised ore and the grade of lithium at the company’s Quebec lithium project.

The plaintiffs were seeking the cancellation and refund of shares bought between October 28, 2010 and February 28, 2011 based on the resource statement.

The losses were allegedly the result of Canada Lithium’s March 2011 independent review of the mineral resource estimate for the lithium project, which identified geological modelling errors and led to a material reduction in the mineral resource estimate.

The company, along with deputy chairperson and CEO Peter Secker, president and COO Charles Taschereau, director and VP for explorations Mitchell Lavery and geologist Michelle Stone, who were also named in the lawsuit, would defend the allegations and denied that they would be proven at trial.

The company's stock gained 16.67% on Tuesday on the TSX, to change hands at C$0.45 apiece. The stock traded at about C$0.90 at the end of January.

UK: Reef Subsea Appoints New Divisional Managing Director

Reef Subsea has taken the step to restructure its business into two divisions – one being a new division focused on integrated subsea projects and the second a restructure of the Dredging & Excavation division.

In the restructure, Reef Subsea Power & Umbilical and Reef Subsea Norway has merged to form the new division, Reef Subsea Integrated Projects, which will offer subsea installation, inspection and protection services to clients in the oil & gas and offshore renewables markets.

The new division will be headed by new Managing Director, Arne Bengt Riple, who will be based out of Bergen, Norway. Mr Riple has considerable experience in the oil & gas and international shipping industry, working for Ulstein, TTS Norlift, and latterly at Aker Solutions as Vice President Subsea Services and Operations.

The strategic restructure will ensure Reef Subsea Integrated Projects remains focused on existing and future customer needs to become even more competitive within its core markets. The merger will also allow better flexibility when it comes to sharing the exceptional pool of in-house engineering talent.

Reef Subsea Dredging & Excavation (RSDE), which is part of Reef Subsea group of companies, has been restructured to manage two defined regions, Americas Asia Pacific (AMAP), and Europe Middle East Africa (EMEA), with a new Middle East office based in Abu Dhabi. The EMEA will include Aberdeen, Mandal in Norway, Abu Dhabi and Canada, whilst the AMAP region will include the Singapore, Mexico and Houston offices.

AMAP will be headed by Regional Director, Jason Miller, based in Houston, with Christian Aas, Regional Director, based in Mandal, heading the EMEA division. The restructure of the RSDE division will allow the division to retain its strong brand name, and strengthen the services it offers its worldwide operations.

Duncan MacPherson, CEO of Reef Subsea, said: “We strongly believe that we operate in an exciting market with growth opportunities and we want to be able to achieve our vision of being the leading subsea services partner to energy and construction companies worldwide, most recognised for our passion, presence and performance.

“To prepare for continued growth, it was vital that we combined our subsea projects businesses to form Reef Subsea Integrated Projects and restructure the Reef Subsea Dredging & Excavation division to better serve our clients around the world.”

Reef Rescue Plan Must Address Industrialisation Impacts

Despite mentioning the Great Barrier Reef during the people’s forum and in election campaign appearances, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has missed the opportunity to address the most important new threat to the Reef in the ALP policy announced today.

The World Heritage Committee, scientists, fishers, tourism operators and the local community are all very worried about the impact of industrialisation on the Reef.

Last month, a poll of nine Queensland electorates along the Reef coast and South East Queensland found a majority of people (73.2%) wanted a ban on dumping dredge waste in the waters of the Reef’s World Heritage Area.

Yet the announcement today does not include strong protection to limit the impacts of ports, dredging and dumping or other industrialisation on the Reef, according to Felicity Wishart, Great Barrier Reef campaign director with the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS).

“You can’t have a credible ‘reef rescue’ plan without addressing the destructive impacts of rapid industrialisation being driven largely by plans to export more coal,” Ms Wishart said today.

“While we welcome the commitments announced today to tackle poor Reef water quality, support the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and create a ‘Reef Bank’ to help fund protection of the Reef, this policy will do nothing to rein in the plans for 5 mega ports and more dredging, dumping and shipping through the Reef.

“It’s a missed opportunity that could hasten the destruction of the much-loved natural wonder.

“The ALP previously supported a Greens motion in the Senate in June 2013 to end the practice of dumping dredge spoil on the Reef but it has fallen far short by failing to follow through with an election commitment for the ban.

“Neither major party is in step with community concerns for the future of the Reef.”
