Integral Metals Corp. has announced that the Phase 2 soil sample program has begun at its 100%-owned KAP Project in the Northwest Territories. This program expands on previously stated plans for increased geochemical work, with field personnel now on site and systematically collecting soil samples across the finished grid. The Phase 2 exploration campaign will consist of roughly 2,100 soil samples gathered on a 30-meter by 30-meter grid, with closer sample spacing than previously anticipated.

Reviewed by Laura ThomsonIn a breakthrough study published in Scientific Reports, scientists have uncovered a crucial, often-overlooked hazard in coal mine dust—agglomerates hiding harmful silica particles. These microscopic clusters, once considered harmless or easily broken apart during sampling, are now shown to persist through standard dust analysis procedures and potentially obscure the true extent of silica exposure in mining environments.
