Lac des Iles back in operation

It's back to business at the Lac des Iles Mine north of Thunder Bay. North American Palladium says it has restarted production at the mine after it was closed down in 2008 because of low prices for the commodity. However now that prices are a lot higher,  the company says opening the underground mine makes sense. It will operate 7 days a week with 2-12 hour shifts employing 180 people.
