SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) in collaboration with the Steel Market Development Institute (SMDI) have launched new social media campaign to promote and highlight the uses and benefits of steel. The #SummerOfSteel Roadtrip campaign provides a “digital road trip” across North America that displays the positive impact of steel industry on the lives of people in various regions.

The campaign features an interactive map featuring various locations across the US, Mexico and Canada. It highlights facts, stories and photos detailing the improvements that steel has brought in that specific community or region. The posts provide in-depth information on the automotive, construction and packaging steel markets. It also throws light on the public policy and sustainability arenas.

The campaign will run for two months from July 13th to September 14th.

In addition to the interactive map, the campaign also features a social media contest, wherein the public could post images showcasing their personal encounters with steel. The contest is open on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Contestants must use the hashtag #SummerOfSteel and #contest to take part in the contest. The winner of the contest, which will be announced on September 14th, will receive $100 Amazon gift card.

Magna Reports PGM-Bearing Drill Intervals at Levack

Magna Mining reported a 2.1-metre downhole interval at its past-producing Levack mine in Ontario grading 17.5 g/t platinum, palladium and gold combined, alongside 9.5% copper and 2.6% nickel. A separate West Main interval returned 4.6 metres grading 3.5 g/t of the three precious metals combined, alongside 1.7% copper and 4.0% nickel. The results help Magna assess areas that could contribute metal following a potential restart. They do not establish separate platinum or palladium grades, additional reserves or production; a formal restart decision remains pending.
