The following list is selective. Comprehensive listings of Canadian mining associations, institutes, mining companies, and metal producers may be found under links to the Minerals and Metals Sector http //www.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/mms-smm/index-eng.htm (accessed April 5,2011) at Natural Resources Canada. 

Natnral Resonrces Canada. Minerals and Mining Statistics Online http //mmsd.mms. nrcan.gc.ca/stat-stat/index-eng.aspx (accessed Jnly 12, 2010). The Minerals and Mining Statistics Division (MMSD) is part of the Minerals and Metals Sector (MMS) of Natural Resources Canada. MMSD is responsible for the collection, analysis and dissemination of comprehensive statistics on the Canadian minerals indnstry describing ore reserves, exploration, and mineral production and nse, and for the condnct, in collaboration with Statistics Canada and the provincial and territorial governments, of various surveys of mine complex development and production (from Web page).

Biolubricants, lubricants derived from vegetable oils and other natural resources, provide an eco-friendly alternative. Typically, a biolubficant consists of vegetable oil as a base fluid and a relatively high proportion of eco-friendly additives (corrosion inhibitors, antioxidants, pour point depressants, viscosity index modifiers, etc 2-5% overall), resulting in a high-cost material that performs or often outperforms common mineral oil lubricant products (18). 

Taking on the monumental task of building a complete reference, Marek Kosmulski, a leading authority in the field of surface chemistry (Hirsch index of 22), takes a new approach to provide chemists with the most detailed resource on the points of zero charge of oxides available to date. Surface Charging and Points of Zero Charge presents PZC data on well-defined specimens of materials sorted by trademark, manufacturer (commercial materials), location (natural materials), and specific recipe (synthetic materials). The text emphasizes the comparison between particular results obtained fordifierent portions of the same or very similar material.
