High emission areas in Manitoba are associated with non-ferrous mining and smelting operations.

In Manitoba, hotspots are the sites of non-ferrous mining and smelting industries.

In Canada, major source sectors of acid-causing emissions are non-ferrous mining and smelting, electric power generation, upstream oil and gas and transportation.

In western Canada, emissions of SO2 have declined by 6% over this period due to emission reductions in the non-ferrous mining and smelting sectors.

In 2002 and 2003, further thematic studies on industrial heritage were conducted on the textile industry and non-ferrous mining and metallurgical sites (27th Session, doc.

In Canada, these reductions are primarily from actions in the non-ferrous mining and smelting sector and electric utilities as part of the Canadawide Acid Rain Strategy.

Non-ferrous mining and smelting is the main contributor to anthropogenic sources of SO2 in Canada and along with industrial coal combustion, is a primary source in the United States.

Three sectors, electricity generation, non-ferrous mining & smelting and incineration were responsible for 71% of mercury emissions into the atmosphere, accounting for 35%, 19% and 17% of Canadian emissions respectively.

Another brother William Ralph Merton founded the Metallgesellschaft in Frankfurt-am-Main in 1881, which became the second largest company in Germany and the largest non-ferrous mining company in the world.

SANTIAGO, April 8 (Reuters) - Spending on global non-ferrous mining exploration surged to an estimated $10 billion last year, and Latin America is the destination of choice, industry experts said on Tuesday.

From its inception, the Institute has focused on the Duluth Complex, a minerals deposit 140 miles long and 28 miles wide arching up the north shore of Lake Superior, as having the greatest regional potential for non-ferrous mining.

Chinalco, which earlier this year was thwarted in its attempt to make a $19.5bn investment into Rio Tinto, the Anglo-Australian miner, this week said it was interested in investing in non-ferrous mining assets in Australia.

There is justified concern that mercury may be exported as mercury compound produced for example, during non-ferrous mining and smelting operations (as calomel Hg2Cl2) to other countries and converted to elemental mercury for further use there.

During this period, emissions of NOx decreased by 17% in eastern Canada as a result of reductions in emissions from the transportation (heavy-duty diesel vehicles, light-duty gasoline vehicles) and non-ferrous mining and smelting sectors.

Industries sending for storage metallic mercury recovered as a by-product from the cleaning of natural gas and mercury recovered from waste or as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations shall also make proportional contributions to this fund.

It has also been approved that industry sectors that gain mercury from the cleaning of natural gas or as a by-product from non-ferrous mining and smelting operations must provide relevant data to the Commission and the competent authorities of the Member States concerned.

Stock picks include Sberbank and Nomos among banks, MTS, the telecoms group, X5 retail group, Synergy, the spirits distributor, Globaltrans in transport, Gazprom in oil and gas, Severstal in steel, and Norilsk Nickel in non-ferrous mining.
