Klondex Mines Ltd. (“Klondex” or the “Com-pany”) (TSX: KDX or OTC-QX: KLNDF), a Northern Nevada gold exploration and development com-pany, is pleased to provide an update on progress at its flagship Fire Creek un-derground gold project in Lander County.

Klondex began an un-derground decline in April 2011 to facilitate explora-tion and development at Fire Creek. The Company expects to begin bulk sam-pling in the second half 2013, based on the timely achievement of the mile-stones discussed below.

Paul Huet, CEO of

Klondex, commented, “Over the past few months we have addressed key issues required to take Klondex and Fire Creek closer to gold production via bulk sampling. We strengthened the balance sheet, solidified the Nevada team with outstanding new hires, and developed a plan

and budget to achieve our objectives, the key compo-nents of which are outlined below.” Exploration and Development Milestones:• Exploration Activ-

ity – American Drill-ing Company has been contracted to resume underground in-fill drill-ing of the Main Zone on 23-meter (75 foot) centers. Drilling began in a muck bay between the 5370-ACC and 5400-ACC crosscuts, and will test both A and B veins. In-fill drilling should pro-

vide additional data to better define the extent and continuity of veins within the Main Zone. Klondex also continues to sample veins and al-teration zones in the underground workings. Data from this effort will guide the planned resource update, as well as development plans for bulk sampling.

• Core Logging and Resource Update – Klondex’s geology team has begun examining, photographing and re-logging approximately 73,000 meters (240,000 feet) of historical drill core. It expects to take 5 months to complete this program, which will provide an enhanced un-derstanding of the Fire Creek deposit, includ-ing geology, alteration, structure, gold distribu-tion, metallurgy, waste rock characterization, and rock mechanics. Once this program is

complete, Klondex will develop an enhanced resource model. An up-dated resource estimate in accordance with Na-tional Instrument 43-101, prepared by Micon International, is expected during the second half of 2013. The resource update will incorporate data from underground sampling and drilling since the last technical report and resource es-timate in May 2011, in-cluding 63 surface drill holes totaling 23,704 meters (77,770 feet), and 12,103 meters (39,709 feet) of underground drilling. Klondex plans to complete an additional 3,658 meters (12,000 feet) of underground in-fill drilling during Q1 2013.

• Milling Agreement – Un-der the leadership of GM Mike Doolin, Klondex is in advanced discussions on a toll-milling agree-The Leaders of the Heavy

Equipment Industry Meet Here.• The LARGEST Equipment in Canada• The LARGEST Audience (over 11,000 buyers in 2 days!)• The LARGEST Venue, Easy Access

There’s a new kid in town in the compact crushing business. Rubble Master recently signed an exclusive Western Cana-dian distribution agree-ment with Abbotsford, BC and Calgary, Alberta-based ShearForce Equip-ment, the attachment and mobile crushing equipment division of West Coast Machinery.

Mobile crushing equipment is revolu-tionizing the materials recycling industry by replacing the traditional practice of moving and processing demolition waste. Rubble Master units transform raw materials into products for resale on-site, all while saving time and money on trans-portation and processing costs. The compact range is easy to transport, re-quires minimal down time, and offers unbeat-able high performance, with exceptional fuel ef-ficiency and low emis-sions.

With more than 20 years of international ex-pertise, and more than 10 years of parts, ser-vice, and backup support in North America, Rubble

Master has always been a leading supplier to the construction, demolition, quarry and recycling in-dustry in North America and worldwide.

“We are very excited for the opportunity to provide Rubble Master products to the BC and Alberta markets,” said Brad Dewit, President of ShearForce Equip-ment. “We know there is significant potential for customers in many dif-ferent industries to save a substantial amount of time and money on their job sites with this equip-ment.”

Rubble Master offers crushers in the range of 26,500 lbs. to 62,000 lbs. with no special transport permits required. The crushers have hourly production rates ranging from 88 tons per hour to 275 tons per hour, and fuel consumption rang-ing from 2 gallons per hour to 6 gallons per hour, due to their in-novative diesel-electric concept.

ment to process its bulk sample. Initial metallur-gical work is in progress to assess the compatibil-ity of the mill with Fire Creek mineralization and to ensure that accept-able gold recovery rates are achievable. Klondex expects a final milling agreement as early as Q1 2013. The Company has selected a trucking com-pany to transport the bulk sample to the mill.

• Vent Raise/Second-ary Egress – To meet MSHA safety standards for possible production, Klondex must excavate a vent (or escape) raise to connect the under-ground workings with the surface. The Compa-ny has developed a new plan that substantially reduces total vent raise construction costs by re-locating the raise to the west, thereby shorten-ing its vertical length by nearly 200 feet. The raise contractor has been se-lected, and a final agree-ment has been signed. Construction of the vent raise is targeted to begin in January 2013 with completion expected by the end of June 2013.

• Power Line – To date, Fire Creek operated with diesel generator power. Klondex has made sub-stantial progress on the permits and infrastruc-ture needed to bring grid power directly to the project. All the required equipment has been pur-chased and is on site, and U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ap-proval was received al-lowing NV Energy to tie into the offsite substa-tion in December 2012, Permit #N-56088. Work is underway to secure easements required to bring power to the site. Klondex currently ex-pects the power line to be completed and func-tioning by mid-May 2013. Grid power should reduce costs by as much as 50% per kilowatt-hour, greatly benefit-ing the potential project economics, and facilitat-ing power distribution and operating flexibility compared with the limi-tations of diesel electric power.

• Water Management – As previously reported, Klondex has secured key Federal and State permits required to pursue its

bulk-sampling program. In order to manage the volume of underground water at the Fire Creek project, Klondex has pro-posed to install a rapid infiltration basin (RIB) system. The Company is preparing the permit ap-plication documents as-sociated with the design and operation of the RIB. Klondex has begun geo-technical work necessary to complete the final RIB design.

• Funding in Place - Over the past two months Klondex has raised a total of $C30 million in equity and debt financ-ing, which includes a January 4th placement of C$7 million in 2-year, 9% Senior Unsecured Notes. The proceeds enabled Klondex to retire its former debt with Waterton Global Value, L.P. for a total of US$10.9 million and thus reduced its cash burn from debt service by over US$760,000 per month for the next 14 months. The refinanc-ing also reduced invest-ment risk by eliminat-ing the security lien and other covenants on Fire Creek. b

Tigercat brings back the 726E feller buncher with a high horsepower twist.

Jim Ard, owner of Jim Ard Timber Inc, a Mis-sissippi logger and B&G Equipment customer, strolled into the B&G Mag-nolia branch one day with a brilliant idea. Ard, who primarily contracts to Wey-erhaeuser, generally works in mature pine and the ter-rain typically tends to be broken up by some steep ground that constrains the deck areas and taxes the feller buncher. “We’ve got these ridges,” says Jim. “Very rarely do we have the room to put two load-ers on the same deck. We usually can’t even get the loaders close enough to-gether to be fed by a single skidder. It’s almost like two little jobs in one.”

The day Jim popped into the Magnolia store, president W.J. Bates as well as branch manager Red Williamson happened to be there. Jim came right out with it, asking the two

men to fi gure out a way to sell him a 300 hp 726E feller buncher. “For us the 724E doesn’t quite do the job,” Jim explains.

The 220 hp 724E is very capable in almost any wheel feller buncher clear fell application yet its size and wheelbase still lends itself to thinning jobs when required, especially when equipped with the 5500 saw which combines big timber control with small stem bunching ability. The versatility and performance of the 724E had completely displaced sales of the 726E over the last few years, and Tigercat had quietly discontinued production of the model, as a feller buncher, that is.

Tigercat has been busy selling a 300 hp mulcher version called the M726E which always has had an optional multi-function hy-draulic system and quick-attach boom adapter so that the machine could be changed to a feller buncher in a pinch if a land clearing

contractor wanted to fell merchantable timber.

That said, granting Jim’s request wasn’t as simple as slapping a sawhead on the mulcher carrier. There was some work involved to op-timize the hydraulics for a feller buncher application. The mulcher version has a very large attachment pump and a different drive circuit so Tigercat agreed to do the required back-end work and put the machine into production if B&G would make a larger com-mitment to three machines. Feeling confident about the idea, they agreed and now, a few short months later, Tigercat has shipped ten machines and demand for the industry’s newest, largest and most powerful feller buncher is expanding into other regions with big timber and tough terrain.

Jim equipped his ma-chine with aggressive cleat 66x43-25 tires providing an optimal combination of traction, low ground pres-sure and side stability. “We

run the 43 tires all year round so that the machine can work side slopes but also covers my flotation in the winter.”

Jim is overjoyed with the performance of his new machine. “The extra horse-power is most noticeable when backing uphill load-ed — which in turn helps the skidders.” The 726E has an additional 127 mm (5 in) of wheelbase and is 230 mm (9 in) longer over-all which augments stabil-ity and traction on slopes when the 5702 saw is clutching a big tree. Opera-tor David Craven routinely cuts 25 loads daily.

Howard Means, own-er of R.H. Logging, pur-chased the second and third of the initial three machine run from B&G Iuka. Working summers in Chickasaw State Park in southern Tennessee, Howard’s machines are felling a steady diet of 60 year old pine growing in very fertile soil. The 35 m (120 ft) tall trees average 510-585 mm (20-23 in) diameter at the stump, weighing 1,8-2,7 tonne (4,000-6,000 lb). In addi-tion, the hilly Tennessee country can bring slopes

up to 30%. “We like the extra weight in the back end,” says Howard. The state forest also has quite a bit of oversize, top heavy hardwood. In fact, the famous Tennessee whisky, Jack Daniels, is aged in white oak barrels made from timber that comes out of the region.

Operator, Eddie Nunn-ley is also impressed with the machine, adding, “That’s probably the best cutter ever made and easy to work on.” Aside from the incredible performance in this most challenging application that the major-ity of the world’s harvest-ing professionals would say hands-down is a job

for a track buncher, How-ard is seeing other signifi cant advantages. “I’ve run a bunch of 726 cutters and I’ve owned a lot of Tigercats over the years. The new machine with the low 1,900 rpm engine speed really has an effect on fuel consumption,” he says. “You take 400 rpm off and I think this is really going to affect engine life as well. It still pulls down but not nearly as much as the old machine. My fuel consumption has dropped from 34 L/h (9 gph) to 28 L/h (7.5 gph).”

‘Super’ 726E


The producers of the all new Canada North Re-sources Expo (CNRE), to be held on May 31-June 1, 2013, are pleased to re-port that the event is well underway. Booth sales are going extremely well, with lots of machinery ex-hibits and several exciting features planned that will showcase the Big Iron front and centre at this mam-moth event.

The CNRE comes at an exciting time for this re-gion and the industry as a whole.

“We are so pleased to be the host city for Cana-da North Resources Expo 2013. As BC’s northern capital and the largest sup-ply and service centre for one of the fastest growing regions in Canada, Prince George is the ideal location for this show,” said Heath-er Oland, CEO of Initiatives Prince George. “With $70 Billion in resource projects planned and underway in northern BC over the next

10 years, there is a lot of business to be done and we look forward to wel-coming everyone to Prince George,” said Oland.

Northern B.C. is bustling with activity in regards to forestry, mining, pipelines, energy generation, trans-portation, oil & gas and so much more. This event will showcase the leaders and rising stars of all of those industries.

The event will focus on the machinery, products, technology, services, tal-ent and manpower needed to get the infrastructure developed, as these mega-projects ramp-up.

Show Management re-cently attended the BC Natural Resource Forum in Prince George. Traffic and interest at their booth was excellent and the buzz around this new event was extremely positive.

“Contractors and deal-ers alike are already talking about CNRE, and making plans to attend,” explains

MaryAnne Arcand, Chair of Resources Expo, and Executive Director of the Canadian Interior Logging Association. “Concurrent events will bring billions of dollars’ worth of proj-ects and their representa-tives together to showcase contract opportunities. Our steering committee is en-ergized and excited, full of creative ideas to make this the best Expo Prince George has ever seen,” said Arcand.

The Canada North Re-sources Expo will surely be a must-attend event for decision makers, buyers, industry workers and their families to see the latest products and services re-quired by these flourishing industries , in one place at one time... • Forestry - harvesting,

woodlots, community forests, silviculture, pulp and chips;

Genie lift equipment provides solutions to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex for a va-riety of application needs on a daily basis. Genie scissor and boom lifts are regularly used as elevat-ed platforms for cameras and camera operators to tape and broadcast sporting events at the sports complex. The lifts are also used to perform

ongoing maintenance at the 255-acre site. Addi-tionally, Terex branded light towers will light up popular runDisney races that take place through-out the theme parks each year.

“ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex already uses Genie lift equip-ment,” said Matt Fearon, President, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). “By being the official lift equipment provider to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, it al-lows us to highlight the various applications and capabilities of our qual-ity equipment at a vari-ety of events across the complex.”

“We are excited to have Terex as a new sponsor at ESPN Wide World of Sports Com-plex,” said Tom Wolber, Senior Vice President, Disney Sports Enter-prises and Downtown Disney. “Terex produces an outstanding line of

lift products, which are key instruments in the sports industry, and this relationship helps us en-sure that our athletes, teams and coaches have the very best experience at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.”

To commemorate the sponsorship, Terex has custom painted a new Genie S-60X telescopic boom as a way to inau-gurate the alliance. It is a one-of-a-kind airbrushed boom by renowned artist Tim Norris. The boom’s unique sports-themed motif is interwoven with special Disney-inspired details that highlight the relationship between Ter-ex and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The boom will be on display at the sports complex when not in use.

“We are thrilled about this new relationship with ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and look forward to working with them in the upcom-ing years,” said Fearon. “Our new alliance is one of the many exciting opportunities we have ahead of us to strength-en the Genie and Terex brands globally.” b

Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT), an Osh-kosh Corporation company (NYSE:OSK), is pleased to introduce new 40 tm and 50 tm models to its lineup of truck-mounted articulating cranes. Featuring excellent lift-to-weight ratios, long-reach capabilities and mini-mized space requirements, the cranes provide custom-ers with powerful, flexible new options to meet their specific application needs.

The 40/275 crane pro-vides a maximum lifting capacity of 19,026 pounds (8,630 kilograms), while the 50/345 model delivers a maximum lifting capacity of 22,840 pounds (10,360 kilograms). The 40/275 and 50/345 models can be equipped with up to eight hydraulic extensions for maximum horizontal reaches of 69 feet 11 inches (21.3 meters) and 70 feet 3 inches (21.4 meters), re-spectively. The minimized dimensions and lower weight of these cranes al-low for additional truck configuration possibilities and increased payload.

“IMT is dedicated to of-fering a spectrum of crane options to match unique customer needs,” said John Field, Product Manager of

material handling at IMT. “The new 40 tm and 50 tm articulating crane models meet customer demand for particular lift and reach ca-pabilities, minimized space requirements, robust safety features, ease of mainte-nance and low mainte-nance costs.”

The 40/275 and 50/345 models feature ultra-high tensile steel that provides lower weight, high lift ca-pacity at long reaches and increased payload capabili-ties. The mounting space required has been reduced to 3 feet 9 inches (1148 millimeters) and 3 feet 11 inches (1198 millimeters), respectively, expanding truck configuration possi-bilities.

The 40/275 and 50/345 cranes feature a dual pow-er plus link arm system (DL), which is well suited for long reaches and lift-ing in high positions with demanding equipment (such as fly-jib and winch). In addition, the DL sys-tem provides precise and regular movements in the entire working area while offering the best lifting ca-pacities under almost any working conditions.

Another feature of the 40/275 and 50/345 models

is “over-bending,” which means the working area between the main boom and the outer boom is no less than 195 degrees. Over-bending offers greater flexibility when working through narrow passages and under overhead ob-structions, the ability to lift maximum loads in all boom positions, and a lower total height when the crane is stowed on the truck body.

A key safety feature standard on all IMT ar-ticulating crane models is the RCL (rated capacity limiter) 5300. The RCL sys-tem monitors the crane’s load moment, operation and function. In an over-load situation, the system warns the operator and interrupts the distribution of oil for crane functions, while allowing functions that reduce load moment to remain operational. The RCL 5300 cooperates with the user and compensates when the RCL senses a situation requiring inter-vention. The system not only monitors safety dur-ing crane operation, but also crane position during transport (stabilizers and boom position).

Additional features of

the new articulating crane models include:• A radio remote control

equipped with an infor-mation center that con-trols stabilizer functions and feedback of loader operation conditions.

• Continuous rotation.• An internal hose routing

system.• Optional stabilizer solu-

tions for each side.• An innovative, flexible

stow bracket design that secures boom for trans-portation but does not al-low bracket damage.Additional features of

all IMT articulating cranes include:• A strong hexagonal pro-

file. • Load-holding valves on

all load-bearing cylin-ders.

• An extension system equipped with a regen-eration valve to increase working speed.

• High resale value.The 40/275 and 50/345

cranes join the other IMT articulating crane models, which are designed to offer a wide range of options in lifting capacity and reach. The IMT articulating crane lineup has a maximum reach ranging from 10 feet 2 inches to 70 feet 10 inch-es and offers lift capacities ranging from 1,740 pounds (790 kilograms) to 38,185 pounds (17,320 kilograms) maximum rating. The new cranes replace the 34 tm, 38 tm, 42 tm and 47 tm models in the IMT articu-lating crane lineup. b

Humantech, Inc. an-nounced Terex Utilities, a division of Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP) as the winner of its sixth annual Find It – Fix It Challenge during a live webinar Friday. The Find It – Fix It Challenge recog-nizes and rewards simple and effective workplace solutions that increase productivity, improve worker morale, and re-duce workplace injuries and illnesses.

Honourable mentions for the Challenge were given to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com-pany, located in San An-gelo, Texas, and to Senior Aerospace Metal Bellows, located in Sharon, Mass. The contest was derived from Humantech’s RAPID Team Events, which are based on the concept of making quick, simple, visible changes to im-

prove ergonomic issues in the workplace. From over 150 entries received, rep-resenting 24 companies, one winner was selected and two honourable men-tions were recognized.

Terex Utilities in Hu-ron, SD, took top hon-ours with its Pedestal Weld Station entry. The improvement focused on improving the posture and comfort of the worker responsible for welding a vertical gusset and top plate to the metal shell of a pedestal. The ped-estal connects a boom to a truck chassis and also houses the bearing that enables the boom to ro-tate while in operation. From digger derrick units used to set power poles to aerial devices with work-ing heights of 125 feet, Terex fabricates large to small pedestals for its full line of utility equipment.

Prior to improving the task at the pedestal weld station, the worker had to climb in and out of a met-al shell up to eight times per unit. While lying in a horizontal position, with legs dangling outside the pedestal, the worker had to weld parts of the ped-estal together. When one section was complete, the welder would get out of the pedestal, rotate the pedestal to the next weld position, climb back into the unit, and weld the next section. Due to high air temperatures inside the pedestal, the welder had to lie on blankets for

extra protection in addi-tion to wearing welding leathers. A total of eight pedestals were fabricated each day using this pro-cess.

Because of the high temperatures and con-tact stress on the legs, the team knew it had to change the job. The im-provement idea came from Jereme Kempf, the welder shown in the “be-fore” picture. “We had strong internal support from the entire team. This was a good example of designing for safety and manufacturability,” said Bethany Kovash, Indus-trial Engineer.

Within a few weeks, the idea to improve the job, and the funds required to make the necessary modi-fications, were approved. With a $300 budget, the team engineered and fabri-cated a steel welding table

Before: Welding vertical gussets and top plate to a pedestal shell took approximately 10 minutes. Workers complained of contact stress to the legs and hot temperatures. After: Newly-fabricated welding table holds the pedestal in an upright position. The pedestal was also redesigned so that the vertical gusset would be welded from the outside. This fix resulted in a cycle time reduction of 20 minutes and eliminated contact stress.


to hold the pedestal in a vertical position. The team member can now perform the work in a seated posi-tion, eliminating what Hu-mantech calls “Butts Up” postures and contact stress. The cycle time was also re-duced by 20 minutes. In ad-dition, the design engineer-ing department redesigned the pedestal to eliminate the vertical gusset weld to a plug weld on the outside of the pedestal.

“Everyone likes the im-proved task, and the pro-duction team member’s involvement was crucial to its success,” said Matt Klein, Manufacturing Engineer. “The compli-ance of all team mem-bers tasked with this job proves its success.”

The Goodyear Tire

and Rubber Company received an honourable mention with its Outdoor Resiliometer (ODR) Con-trols entry. Prior to the improvement, the opera-tor had to bend down to floor level to check or adjust the ODR controls. By simply raising the height of the ODR con-trol panel, operators are now able to stand in a neutral posture to read the controls. The BEST assessment score was reduced from a medium job hazard score of 22.4 to a low job hazard score of 8. The improvement cost only $300.

Senior Aerospace Metal Bellows division also received an honour-able mention with its Hand Welding Worksta-tion entry. Initially, the

operator had to move a 150-pound chuck turn-table from a cart to the floor and then push the turntable across the floor to another location. When properly placed, the oper-ator loaded a work piece into the chuck turntable. The recommended weight limit for this task, per the NIOSH Lifting Equation, is 39.1 pounds, with a Lift-ing Index of 3.84. Reen-gineering the work bench to accommodate a per-manently mounted chuck turntable underneath it not only eliminated the bent neck, flexed back, and squatting postures required to move the fix-ture, but also eliminated all lifting, pushing, and pulling movements from the task, resulting in a Lifting Index of 0. b

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced the new Millermatic 350P Alumi-num MIG welder, the first dedicated aluminum weld-ing power source with a new true torque push-pull design, electronic wire spool brake, Trigger Sched-ule Select and synergic ca-pabilities in both MIG and Pulsed MIG weld settings. This makes it one of the most versatile products for welding aluminum, by giv-ing the operator the ability to tailor the arc to the weld by adjusting machine per-formance to the weld at the point-of-use — eliminating trips back and forth to the machines and concerns over wire feed consistency.

Consistent aluminum wire delivery is the hall-mark of the Millermatic 350P Aluminum thanks to the enhanced wire delivery design. The Torque motor and the electronic brake work together to provide hours of continuous and productive wire delivery. The new true torque push-

pull feed motor provides positive and accurate wire feeding between the torque motor and gun and the electronic brake allows the wire spool to free spool providing drag-free wire delivery. The all-in-one Millermatic 350P Alumi-num’s programs, speed, wire feed consistency and flexibility are perfect for builders of aluminum wa-tercraft, trucks, trailers, aluminum signs and others products.

“We recognized that people making a living welding aluminum wanted more consistent wire feed-ing and more productivi-ty,” said Chris Roehl, Prod-uct Manager, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. “The true torque drive motor delivers a con-tinuous push while the gun controls the speed, provid-ing accurate and trouble-free feeding. Welding alu-minum requires the ability to have exacting control over your arc to adjust to changing joint profiles and positions, and this system

provides that.”The Millermatic 350P

Aluminum synergic weld-ing system gives the op-erator the first of its kind flexibility with synergic “one knob” control in both Pulsed MIG and MIG op-eration. The synergic con-nection means the Mill-ermatic 350P Aluminum automatically adjusts volt-age and amperage when the operator adjusts wire speed. This saves time and improves quality because the welder can react in real time to changing joint pro-

files and positions without having to stop welding and go back to the machine, while the Pulsed MIG pro-cess provides sufficient fu-sion, yet controls the heat input to prevent warping or burn-through.

The machine is equipped with easy-to-use operator controls, including the new “Trigger Schedule Select,” which permits the user to pre-program two weld set-tings that they can quickly toggle between. This al-lows for quick changes between weld settings or

from Pulsed MIG to MIG welding. This also prevents costly stop-and-go welding — just select the preset set-ting and keep welding.

The new Trigger Hold feature is like cruise con-trol for the welder. Simply press the trigger down and after a few seconds the gun holds, giving the welder better comfort while work-ing on long weldments. The wire jog feature is a conve-nient and safe way for the operator to feed wire at the machine without energiz-ing the weld output.

The 350P provides su-

perior aluminum perfor-mance when matched with the XR-Aluma-Pro, or the new XR AlumaPro Lite or XR Pistol Pro air-cooled push-pull guns. The Mill-ermatic 350P Aluminum’s Hot Start eliminates fusion issues by ensuring correct heat from the beginning of the weld. Sharparc gives control of the arc cone shape, puddle fluidity and bead profile while in the Pulse MIG mode.

Other features of the Millermatic 350P include:

1. Six aluminum-dedi-cated pulse programs, in-cluding new settings for .040 wire.

2. Jog and purge: al-lows operator to jog wire or purge gas and preset gas pressure at the regulator before welding.

3. Retains Auto Gun De-tect feature: direct connec-tion for Miller 10-pin XR-Aluma-Pro and XR Pistol Grip air-cooled push-pull guns. Pull the trigger and the machine automatically detects the gun.

4. The Millermatic 350P Aluminum continues the efficient Fan-On-Demand feature. The fan operates when needed, reducing power consumption. b

Atlas Copco has an-nounced the upgrade of the popular ROC D3 RRC. This rig now comes with Tier 4 engine emis-sions and improved die-sel consumption. It also takes a natural place in the new naming plat-form and is re-named to FlexiROC T30 R. This radio remote drill rig is one of the safest, most efficient drill rigs in its class.

FlexiROC T30 R is an ideal choice for small yet demanding construction jobs.

The FlexiROC T30 R is a tophammer drill rig de-signed for a wide range of drilling applications. Extended boom coverage of 5200 mm through an 80-degrees radius saves contractors time and mon-ey with more holes from fewer set-ups. Automatic RPM reduction, adjust-able fan speeds and Tier 4 emissions offer further savings and improved ef-ficiency.

Designed for small yet demanding construction and quarry jobs, the rig’s low center of gravity and

high ground clearance provide rugged mobility on the most challenging terrain. Powerful enough to drill into very hard rock, its versatility makes FlexiROC T30 R a suitable choice for specialist tasks such as self-drilling an-chors and boulder blast-ing.

Radio remote control comes as standard, allow-ing the operator full con-trol of the rig from a safe working distance - ideal for work on confined sites or unstable terrain. Its compact size means the FlexiROC T30 R can easily be transported from job to job, allowing contrac-tors to maximize on the availability of their invest-ment, says Mats Birkestål, Product Manager, Atlas Copco Surface Drilling. b

Sandvik Construc-tion and Dyno Nobel held another highly suc-cessful Quarry Academy in San Antonio, Texas. From November 13 to 15, nearly 100 people par-ticipated, all eager to hear about the very latest de-velopments in quarrying, participate in workshops, listen to guest speakers, and find out how they could improve their pro-cesses through instilled expertise.

The latest Sandvik / Dyno Nobel Quarry Acad-emy was recently held in San Antonio, Texas, and continued the excellent work that began in the USA over 7 years ago. The Quarry Academy was de-veloped in order to pro-vide information to for the quarrying professional concerning improving the total value chain in quarry operations. This continues the Sandvik / Dyno Nobel operational focus of work-ing with quarrying com-panies to help ensure that world class knowledge is made available, produces the right products / equip-ment for the right applica-tion, all with the features that provide the highest levels of productivity, but the lowest levels of over-all operational cost.

The latest Quarry Acad-emy was held at both the Omni La Mansion del Rio Hotel and at Martin Mariet-ta’s Beckman quarry. Nearly 100 participants from differ-ing backgrounds - ranging from global concerns, large scale and smaller quarry-

ing operations to distribu-tors and sales professionals - came from across North America to learn about the very latest in quarrying, lean processes and safety. The Quarry Academy program was conducted by Sandvik Construction and Dyno No-bel specialists possessing expert knowledge, as well as guest speakers from Volvo, Friedman and South West Research, with all topics be-ing guided by the principle “Improving processes. In-stilling expertise.”

In order to provide integrated coverage, the Quarry Academy program is comprised of two sections, with an initial lecture being given on the concept of the quarrying processes examined. To ensure that attendees get the most from the program, a great deal of thought and planning goes into creating an itinerary that provides the maximum benefit, and is of interest to the assembled quarry-ing professionals. In ad-dition, the subject mat-ter is reviewed annually using attendee feedback to focus on those areas of most interest to those attending. Thus, specific subjects included lean processes, drilling, blast-ing, fines and boulder management, load and haul, fleet and transpor-tation issues, crushing and screening, the quar-rying process, quarry management and unit operation efficiency. The second component of the

program consists of in-depth workshop sessions where the faculty experts discuss specific process improvements in small-er, highly interactive groups. To further en-lighten and enhance the learning, Quarry Acad-emy also includes a site visit which, this year, was Martin Marietta’s Beckman quarry where product demonstrations and explanations were given to the attendees.

In addition to a formal program of events and seminars, a special guest speaker, former astronaut Mike Mullane, shared his insights, specifically with regard to operational safety. Mike’s “Count-down to Safety” presenta-tion delivered a powerful message centered on the individual’s role in keep-ing themselves and their teams safe in hazardous environments. Mike’s talk proved to be inspi-rational and set the focus for the final day of the program as well as pro-viding the audience with a unique perspective on both space travel and safe operations.

As with previous pro-grams Quarry Academy was successful, as it not only addressed critical processes within the quar-ry environment, but it also provided focus on the relationship between each processes, how they sys-tematically interact with one another, and how the processes may be linked in order to achieve overall operational improvement. All participants found the Quarry Academy to be highly informative and entertaining as well as enjoying Sandvik / Dyno Nobel’s excellent evening hospitality. b

The U.S. wind energy industry had its strongest year ever in 2012, the American Wind Energy Association announced re-cently, installing a record 13,124 megawatts (MW) of electric generating capac-ity, leveraging $25 billion in private investment, and achieving over 60,000 MW of cumulative wind capac-ity.

The milestone of 60,000 MW (60 gigawatts) was reached just five months after AWEA announced last August that the U.S. industry had 50,000 MW installed. Today’s 60,007 MW is enough clean, af-fordable, American wind power to power the equiv-alent of almost 15 million homes, or the number in Colorado, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio combined.

In this historic year of achievement, wind energy for the first time became the number one source of new U.S. electric generat-ing capacity, providing some 42 percent of all new generating capacity. The final tally will be released in April in AWEA’s annual report. In fact, 2012 was a strong year for all renew-ables, as together they ac-counted for over 55 percent

of all new U.S. generating capacity.

Resulting from 190 projects across 32 states plus Puerto Rico, this new record for annual installa-tions of over 13,000 MW by the U.S. industry far sur-passes the previous record of 10,000 MW installed in 2010.

AWEA Interim CEO Rob Gramlich said, “It is a real testament to American in-novation and hard work that for the first time ever a renewable energy source was number one in new capacity. We are thrilled to mark this major milestone in the nation’s progress to-ward a cleaner energy sys-tem.”

Currently installed wind power will avoid 95.9 mil-lion metric tons a year of carbon dioxide emissions, equal to 1.8% of the en-tire country’s carbon emis-sions.

In last year’s fourth quarter alone, 8,380 MW were installed, making it the strongest quarter in U.S. wind power history. This was due in large part to impending expiration of the successful federal Pro-duction Tax Credit (PTC). It was slated to end on De-cember 31, 2012, but was extended by Congress on

January 1, 2013, as part of the “fiscal cliff package,” the American Taxpayer Re-lief Act of 2012.

Gramlich added, “What is just as striking as the new records is the expan-sion of new customers. A total of 66 utilities bought or owned wind power in 2012, up from 42 in 2011. We are also seeing growth in new customers in the industrial and commer-cial sectors purchasing or owning wind energy di-rectly.”

New wind power pur-chasers last year included at least 18 industrial buy-ers, 11 schools and uni-versities, and eight towns or cities, showing a signif-icant trend toward nontra-ditional power purchasers from the industrial sector. Manufacturers of every-thing from plastics to light bulbs, semiconductors, and badges, farms, and medical centers are now directly purchasing wind

power.“The fact that wind

power grew by another 28 percent in 2012 alone and poured $25 billion of pri-vate investment into the U.S. last year demonstrates wind’s ability to scale up, and continue to serve as a leading source of energy in America,” Gramlich said.

Top states for new ca-pacity installations in 2012 include:

1. Texas (1,826 MW)2. California (1,656

MW)3. Kansas (1,440 MW)4. Oklahoma (1,127

MW)5. Illinois (823 MW)6. Iowa (814 MW)7. Oregon (640 MW)8. Michigan (611 MW)9. Pennsylvania (550

MW)10. Colorado (496 MW)States with exciting

news in wind project de-velopment in 2012 include California, Michigan, and Illinois. The Golden State regained its position as the second largest state in in-stalled wind capacity, sur-passing Iowa, which had been number two since 2008. California achieved the 5,000-MW milestone in wind capacity, following

Texas, and alongside Iowa.Illinois had its most suc-

cessful year ever. Ranking number five in new capac-ity, Illinois saw the instal-lation of over 800 MW, with half that output sold into the Tennessee Valley Authority market. As one of America’s wind power hubs, Illinois is home to wind power innovation and this year, it installed the first concrete wind tower, which the manufac-turer says can support tall-er turbines to access better winds. Iowa soon followed suit.

While a strong renew-able portfolio standard (RPS) is successfully grow-ing wind power in Califor-nia, such policies are also growing wind projects in upper Midwest states like Michigan. Over 610 MW across 9 projects were built in the Wolverine State, which is close to achiev-ing the 1,000-MW mark within the first few years of its RPS program, while continuing to be a leader in wind manufacturing jobs.

America’s wind energy industry workers had been living under threat of the PTC’s expiration for over a year and layoffs had al-

ready begun, as companies idled factories because of a lack of orders for 2013. Uncertain federal policies have caused a “boom-bust” cycle in U.S. wind energy development for over a decade.

Half the American jobs in wind energy – 37,000 out of 75,000 – and hundreds of U.S. factories in the sup-ply chain would have been at stake had the PTC been allowed to expire, accord-ing to a study by Navigant Consulting.

“America’s wind energy industry is back on track,” said Gramlich. “With a banner year to celebrate, we look forward to show-ing how wind power can continue to strengthen America’s energy future, and create jobs and busi-ness for our families and communities.”

The global wind en-ergy industry will gather in Chicago, Ill., this May 5-8, 2013, for the world’s largest annual wind power event, WINDPOWER 2013. Thousands of workers and leaders from all sectors will attend to show their wares, attend conference sessions, and seek further solutions for success. b

By Rayanne Brennan

Ben Alward is like a lot of Atlantic Canadi-

ans these days. Unable to find work in his field, the young pipefitter packed up and moved to Alberta where he is now earning big money plying his trade. Still, if he could find a well-paying job in his native New Brunswick that used his skills, he would hap-pily head back home, settle down and raise a family. That was a distant dream to Ben until he learned of a proposal to build a $3 billion pipeline that would deliver crude from the oil sands to the ocean waters.

Leading the charge is

Oil Refinery, the largest fa-cility of its kind on the east of North America, which process 300,000 barrels of oil a day. The TransCanada link could increase daily production to a million bar-rels, in addition to creating new refining jobs.

“We recognize and welcome the leadership role Premier Alward has taken on building public and commercial support for a pipeline project to New Brunswick,” Irving Oil President Mike Ashar, told The Supply Post. “This is a project that would be a positive development for refiners in Quebec and At-lantic Canada, as well as oil producers in Western Canada.”

Federal Natural Resourc-es Minister Joe Oliver gave a tentative nod to the line in a meeting with senior man-agement at Irving Oil.

TransCanada’s Presi-dent of Energy and Oil Pipelines, Alex Pourbaix, predicts his Calgary-based company will be supply-ing refineries in eastern Canada by 2017. He notes that 80 per cent of the pipe-line is already built in the ground, offering significant advantages in terms of con-struction, associated costs, and regulatory approvals.

Pourbaix is confident there’s enough commercial investors to bankroll the multi-billion-dollar project, which he estimated would create “thousands of thou-sands of jobs.”

Alberta Premier Allison Redford points out that 40 per cent of the country relies on costly imported crude, rather than cheaper Canadian oil. The flow of crude west to east would build Alberta’s line capac-ity, give producers access to more lucrative markets and get a fairer price for their oil.

On the other side of the country, high hopes are pinned on the pipeline to reverse the exodus of skilled workers west. This outmigration is creating

challenges for an already battered economy, leaving companies that are still op-erating in the region with a shortage of tradespeople and labourers.

Now that the pipeline bid is gaining momentum, Atlantic Canadians like Ben Alward dare to dream of re-turning to Atlantic Canada to live and work, while fathers like David Alward imagine welcoming their boys back home.

none other than the Pre-mier of New Brunswick, and Ben’s father, David Alward. As the Province’s number one pitchman, the Conservative government took a three-day tour of Alberta in early February, drumming up support for the 3,000-kilometre infra-structure project in a series of meetings with oil sands executives and govern-ment officials. Declaring his Province open for oil business, Alward touted the benefits of of shipping oil from the western prov-ince to Saint John — home to Canada’s largest refinery and a deep-water, ice-free year-round port.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for all Cana-dians. Our government is committed to doing all it can to ensure New Bruns-wickers can participate in Canada’s natural resource-driven prosperity from right here at home.”

Under this plan, Trans-CanadaCorp, also the pro-ponent of the Keystone XL project, would convert an existing, underused natural gas line — the eastbound main artery for natural gas out of Alberta — to deliv-er oil to Quebec and New Brunswick.

One of the refineries that stands to benefit from the west-east link is the Irving

Pipeline Could Deliver Thousands Of Construction Jobs

The TransCanada link could increase daily production to a million barrels, in addition to creating new refining jobs.


Nearly one-third of the economic benefits of oil sands investment between 2012 and 2035 will occur in provinces other than Al-berta, according to a Con-ference Board of Canada report assessing the impact of an estimated $364 billion investment on Canada’s re-gions and industry sectors. Much of the economic ben-

efits outside Alberta will be in Ontario and British Co-lumbia.

“The development of Canada’s oil sands deposits constitutes one of the larg-est development projects in the country’s history. It is so large that it will rival massive public works proj-ects in scale, such as the building of the Interstate

Highway System in the United States,” said Mi-chael Burt, Director, Indus-trial Economic Trends.

This report, Fuel for Thought: The Economic Benefit of Oil Sands Invest-ment for Canada’s Regions, was recently presented at the National Buyer Seller Forum in Edmonton.

In the past decade, the

cumulative investment in Canada’s oil sands has surpassed $100 billion. The Conference Board es-timates that nearly four times that amount, $364 billion in price-adjusted investment, is expected to take place over the next 25 years. This level of invest-ment is forecast to support 3.2 million person years of employment over the term of the investment, or 8,800 person years for every $1 billion in investment. One person year of employment is the equivalent of one

full-time job for one year.In addition to the

direct effects associ-ated with spending on new projects, as well as spending on improve-ments, maintenance, and repairs to capital as-sets, this study consid-ers supply chain effects – employment associated with the use of inter-mediate inputs or other support services that are part of oil sands invest-ment. The research also includes income effects, which occur when the wages that employees earn from the direct and supply chain effects are spent.

The study breaks this employment impact down as:• direct effects in the con-

struction industry of 880,000 person-years of employment;

• supply chain effects of 1.45 million person-years of employment in a variety of industries, but predominately in oilfield services, professional services, manufacturing, wholesale trade, finan-cial services, and trans-portation; and

• income effects of 880,000 person-years of employ-ment resulting from the spending of wages and salaries, estimated at $172 billion. These figures include

only the effects of invest-ment; the production that would result from the in-vestments would generate additional employment and supply chain effects.

The majority of the sup-ply chain employment ef-fects (70 per cent) will oc-cur in Alberta. The supply chain effects in Alberta are geared toward industries where oil and gas in gen-eral, and oil sands in par-ticular, are a major source of revenues.

Nevertheless, nearly one-third of supply chain effects will occur in other provinces, (broken out by share of the national total):• Ontario (14.8 per cent):

Above-average employ-ment effects (compared to the province’s share of overall effects) will oc-cur in services, but also in manufacturing inputs for the oil sands. Manu-factured inputs account for one-fifth of the man-ufacturing employment effects.

•British Columbia (6.7 per cent): In the B.C. goods sector, miscel-

laneous plastic prod-ucts (such as plastic building materials and plastic storage tanks), paper products, and wood products all expe-rience outsized (above-average) effects. So do services like scientific services, legal and ac-counting services, computer services and transportation and trav-el-related industries.

• Quebec (3.9 per cent): supply chain effects are tied to the large busi-nesses that are head-quartered in Quebec, such as CGI for computer services and CN for rail transportation.

• Prairies (3.7 per cent): The Prairie region’s role as a transportation hub between Eastern and Western Canada is ap-parent – as rail and truck transportation experi-ence outsized effects. Industries such as steel mills, metal tanks, steel pipes and tubes, print-ing, and medical equip-ment and supplies also gain from supply chain effects related to oil sands investment.

• Atlantic Canada (0.8 per cent): industries that have above-average ef-fects include: ornamen-tal and architectural met-al products; construction machinery; navigational, measuring, medical, and control instruments; and tire manufacturing. Beyond the employ-

ment impacts, oil sands-related investment is expected to generate government revenues of $79.4 billion ($45.3 bil-lion in federal revenues and $34.1 for provinces) between 2012 and 2035, on an inflation-adjusted basis. This includes the effects of personal income taxes, corporate profit taxes, and indirect taxes (such as sales taxes and taxes on fuel).

The investment forecast is based on assumptions that oil sands resources will be developed under certain market conditions, but a number of factors could affect the level of investment over the next 25 years. These include: capacity constraints in the oil sands region, the possi-bility for global oil supply or demand to behave dif-ferently than expected, and the need to mitigate risks associated with the envi-ronmental footprint of the oil sands. b

Don’t be fooled by the compact size of the new ELRUS 6’x12’ 3 Deck Screen Plant — it packs all the punch of its larger counterparts. Designed and developed with an emphasis on increasing plant efficiency, reducing size and weight and re-ducing the overall cost of ownership by increasing in spec uptime production and reducing maintenance and downtime. To the end user this means that the next generation of equip-ment is highly efficient and in many cases, lighter in weight and requires a con-siderably smaller footprint to run.Highly efficient screening is the secret

This new screen design incorporates 2 screening sections on each deck of-fering the benefits of both horizontal and inclined screening. The primary high angle panel at the feed end results in rapid fines removal while the second-ary lower angle panel re-sults in accurate sizing and

stratification associated with horizontal screening. Reduced maintenance and service costs

Powered by two 13 HP Electric Vibrating Motors, the screen requires about half of the power of its larger counterparts, 26 hp versus 50 hp and almost no maintenance, requir-ing just one shot of grease once a year, or every 2,000 hours, a considerable sav-ings of time and money compared to the daily rou-tine of every 12 hours on a larger traditional screen. Since there is no eccen-tric shaft, bearings, gears, seals, sheaves or guards

to replace, there’s less to break down and no inven-tory to warehouse.

Screen cloth is easier to change because the decks are all end tension, are easily accessible from the ends of the screen and con-tain fewer components. 24 screen bolts, washers and nuts and no clamp bars compared to 120 nuts bolts and washers to tighten and 30 clamp bars on a tradi-tional screen. You can in-stall the middle deck with-out removing the top deck and there are also side ac-cess ports for maintenance.

The future of crushing and screening is here and Better, Faster and Smaller may well be the phrase that captures it best.

Outotec is one of the few companies in the world that can offer paste thickening solutions to the mineral industries in one package. Paste technol-ogy means that instead of pumping untreated tailings from the concentrator into tailing ponds, the sand is dewatered to a point when it does not segregate as de-posit.

Outotec’s expertise regarding paste technol-ogy springs from the com-pany’s long experience of minerals and metals pro-cessing technology.

“Paste technology is now widely acknowledged and at the moment Outotec has ongoing paste projects all over the world”, says Anders Nyström, Technol-ogy Sales Manager of Paste and Backfill Solutions at Outotec. “Using paste tech-nology the tailings form a conical pile and do not need big ponds to be stored in. This means that the dis-posal area is much smaller compared to conventional tailing ponds and the dan-ger of leakage is minimal”, he explains.

Anders Nyström got in touch with paste technol-ogy when he was leading a project aiming at minimiz-ing the area needed for tail-ings disposal at a mine in Canada in 2002.

“The mine was not al-lowed to extend the tailing ponds but could use the ex-isting tailing pond by plac-ing the paste tailings on top of the existing tailings. This was possible only by using paste technology.Especially for dry areas

Anders Nyström says that the mining industry faces growing challenges globally on how to use water efficiently, how to recover and recirculate wa-ter and how to reduce the areas needed for tailings storage.

“That’s why the market for new sustainable solu-tions for tailings treatment is growing” he says. “Since the water from the tailings is efficiently recovered us-ing paste technology, the water can be used over and over again. This makes the technology attractive espe-cially in dry regions.”

He also points out that paste technology makes it much easier to restore the landscape in a safe way af-ter a mine is closed.

“We are now investi-gating the possibility with adding fertilizers and seed to the tailings through the paste plant some time be-fore the mine will be closed down. This way the resto-ration process needs very little extra work. By using this method the closure process can be started in good time, saving time and money and in an environ-

mental way improving the closure process.”Stabilizing mined out areas

With the recent acqui-sition of the Australian company Backfill Special-ists, Outotec can now offer even more comprehensive tailings treatment solutions to mining industry world-wide.

“Paste backfill is mainly used to stabilize under-ground excavations, says Mathew Revell, a leading international expert regard-ing backfill solutions and head of Outotec’s Paste and Backfill Solutions business. “It means that a mix of paste and cement is pumped into previously mined stopes to form a rock solid material.”

The paste backfill sup-ports for example the walls of adjacent adits as mining progresses.

“This way the mine can be utilized to a maximum since it makes it possible to mine all of the ore deposit,” Mathew Revell explains. “The paste backfill can also serve as a working plat-form in a mine. In short, by using paste backfill the mines can be utilized more efficiently and above all, safely.”

Since the cost of the binding material is essen-tial for the competitiveness of paste backfilling, Outo-tec’s expertise in optimiz-ing the consistence of the paste can be crucial.

“The mix variables must always be optimized to provide a backfill mate-rial that exactly meets the demands of the individual project”, Mathew Revell says. “With this knowledge accessible it is possible for us to develop more effi-cient and more cost effec-tive backfilling solutions than ever before.” b
