Voisey's Bay Mine
Voisey's Bay Mine is a nickel mine in Labrador, Canada, near the bay of the same name. The mine is located about southwest of Nain. Nickel deposit A large nickel deposit was discovered in the hills along the western shore of Potato Island in September 1993 by Archean Inc., a prospecting firm hired by Diamond Fields Resources Inc promoters Robert Friedland and Jean-Raymond Boulle. This deposit is considered to be one of the most substantial mineral discoveries in Canada in years and was estimated in 2007 to contain 141 million tonnes at 1.6% nickel. In 1996, Inco managers purchased the mine for $4.3 billion Canadian dollars. Surface mining began in Voisey's Bay in 2005 in order to access the nickel deposit. The bulk carrier ship Umiak I was commissioned in May 2006 to transport ore from the mine.Umiak I ''The Gossan: A Voisey's Bay Nick ...

Atlantic Time Zone
The Atlantic Time Zone is a geographical region that keeps standard time—called Atlantic Standard Time (AST)—by subtracting four hours from Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC), resulting in UTC−04:00. AST is observed in parts of North America and some Caribbean islands. During part of the year, some portions of the zone observe daylight saving time, referred to as Atlantic Daylight Time (ADT), by moving their clocks forward one hour to result in UTC−03:00. The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time of the 60th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. In Canada, the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island are in this zone, though legally they calculate time specifically as an offset of four hours from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT–4) rather than from UTC. Small portions of Quebec (eastern Côte-Nord and the Magdalen Islands) also observe Atlantic Time. Officially, the entirety of Newfoundland and Labrador observes Newfoundland Stand ...

Nain Airport
Nain Airport is located on the shore of Unity Bay near Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Replacement A study was completed in 2007 to identify alternate sites for the Nain Airstrip. Two potential sites met the attributes for a more detailed analysis. In October 2018, the Nunatsiavut Government commissioned OCTANT Aviation Inc. to update an earlier study for this airstrip. The study concluded that the current airstrip’s location prohibits required upgrades to enable 24 hour operations and permit larger aircraft. A new airstrip would have to be located outside the community and would require the construction of a new airstrip access road. In 2020, the Nunatsiavut government partnering with the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) funded a pre-feasibility study which determined the current airstrip was unsuitable for upgrades, but identified a potential site to develop about seven kilometres southwest of Nain. Currently, the Nunatsiavut government is attempting t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
