Canada's high-capacity coal mines that produce metallurgical coal, thermal coal and pulverized coal injection. The growing demand for metallurgical coal has meant increased production mines in Canada and new mine openings.
In addition to Peace River Coal (formerly NEMI) and Western Canadian Coal's high quality, metallurgical coal mines, other mines are being developed to provide metallurgical (coking and PCI) and thermal coal to the international markets.

Canada need equipment to transport coal
Canada provides safe, efficient and cost-effective transportation of coal from Canadian mines, in unit trains (90 cars or more), multiple car blocks or single-car shipments.Canada has a fleet of rotary gondolas transport coal products from mine to port efficiently:
- Heavy-duty cars that are designed for unit trains
- Loading or unloading in minutes without being uncoupled
- Capacity of 107 metric tonnes
Canada opens last frontier
Quebec unveiled an $80-billion plan in May to open up its vast northern region -- one of the world's last unspoiled wilds, about twice the size of France -- to forestry and mining at the base of the Myrdalsjokull glacier in Iceland in April 2010. Dropping beneath low-lying clouds, a float plane circles a rocky landscape on the edge of the Arctic Circle grooved by the last ice age eight millennia ago and since then bathed by hundreds of rivers and lakes.Quebec unveiled an $80-billion plan in May to open up its vast northern region -- one of the world's last unspoiled wilds, about twice the size of France -- to forestry and mining. the Quebec government promises up to 11 new mining projects will be launched in the next few years in the far north. picking up a rock sheered from a nearby ridge that could be hiding a major gold or copper find.
"Nunavik still remains substantially unexplored," says geologist and Azimut president Jean-Marc Lulin. "So there's an opportunity to make important discoveries here."
"It's going well," Aurizon geologist Olivier Grondin tells Lulin before boarding a helicopter to scout a potentially significant outcrop of gold, silver, copper and tungsten in a zone named the Augossan corridor. "We're very excited because there's a potential to discover a vast amount (of minerals) near the surface," explains Lulin. Only deposits on the surface can be extracted in this region at a profit, with prohibitive costs of building mine infrastructure to tap resources deep underground.
"Unless it's a major find, it's not worth it," Lulin says.
The new efforts come as the government is proposing to upgrade 10 north ports, 46 airstrips and extend railroads and roads by tens of thousands of kilometers (miles) to improve access to the region.
