Impala plans to close Ontario palladium mine due to low prices
The South African company currently employs about 750 people at the mine north of Thunder Bay, Ont.
The operation includes underground and surface mining operations and a concentrator.
Impala Canada says due to a prolonged period of low palladium prices the business is not generating the cash flow required to sustain the operation.
In a message to employees last week, Impala Canada chief executive Tim Hill said there is still plenty of work to be done in the operation and responsible closure of the mine.
He thanked workers for their commitment and safety performance.

Federal government posts $6.5 billion deficit in April, May
The federal government posted a $6.5 billion deficit in the first two months of the fiscal year. The result for the April-to-May period compared with a $3.8 billion deficit for the same stretch last year. Revenues increased $26 million, virtually unchanged from the prior year, as increases in customs import duties and pollution pricing proceeds to be returned to Canadians were largely offset by a decrease in revenues from corporate income and goods and services taxes. The Finance Department says program expenses excluding net actuarial losses rose $2.9 billion, or four per cent. Public debt charges increased $400 million, or 3.8 per cent, due to an increase in the stock of marketable bonds and higher consumer price index adjustments on real return bonds. Net actuarial losses fell $600 million, or 46.8 per cent. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 25, 2025.
