Organizations to Explore

Teck

Canadian resource company with mining and processing operations. This view covers its Canadian assets only.

Northern Graphite

Canadian graphite company with Lac des Iles and Bissett Creek assets. Its 1 September 2026 update reported no Lac des Iles mining or processing in the second quarter and a delayed restart. Its 9 September release said an appeal filed on 8 September keeps the mining lease in effect pending the court decision. These statements do not establish resumed production.

Brenntag

Brenntag Canada supplies chemicals for mining wastewater treatment, including coagulants, flocculants and pH adjustment products. Product choice depends on the ore, water stream and treatment requirements; the service page does not establish results for a particular mine.

Univar Solutions

Supplies mining chemicals through Canadian service pages covering extraction, processing, water treatment and reclamation. Offers technical support, delivery and coordination of metallurgical laboratory tests. Confirm the delivery area and the fit for each application with the supplier.

Quadra

Supplies mining reagents and technical services for flotation, leaching, solvent extraction and water treatment. Its Canadian mining business also offers storage and delivery. Product claims do not establish recovery results for a particular ore or plant.

AIM Recycling (American Iron & Metal)

AIM Recycling, a division of American Iron & Metal, buys, processes and sells ferrous and non-ferrous scrap. Its Canadian services include industrial scrap collection, containers and public recycling facilities. Confirm local material acceptance and current commercial terms with the site.

Triple M Metal

Recycles ferrous and non-ferrous scrap in North America and buys industrial by-products including steel turnings, sheet, aluminum, copper, brass and zinc. Its industrial services include an electronic-waste partnership. Confirm current prices and material acceptance at the receiving facility.

Glencore

Recovers metals from electronics, copper scrap and other secondary materials through Canadian operations, including Horne and Sudbury. Listed inputs include electronic components, solar-panel parts and vehicle wiring. Acceptance, capacity and commercial terms depend on the receiving site.
