Séven Million Dollar Plant For Town 0f Port Hope Eldorado Mining and Refining Limited is to construet' a new $7,000,000 plant in Port Hope to refine zirconium. J. C. Bua-ger, vice-president, maide the amnouncemnent at a press conference in Port Hope last week. Be said the construc- tion of the'new plant would be started. early in 1968, with first production scheduled for the end of the year, The location of the plant, which will provide employment for about 100 persons, will be adja- cent to the present Eldorado building. Mr. Burger said negotiations had been completed to take over the former Agrico property own- ed by the Hai-bour Commission and crown lands towards the lake. "The reason for theurgency to get the construction underway Ilis, the market, deinand for .zirconium alloy is . increasing 'and it is nec- essary to get in on.the market as quickly as we can," lie said. The comipany has been' work- in., on dvlpetof zirconium for the past four years.ý Research was started by thile Research and Development Division in Ottawa wifh W. E. Tranmer, Port Hope, acting as liaison to establish the pnocess. Useful Ailoy "Due to zirconium's excellent resistance and hîgh 'temperature strengths unçler intense radia- t ion, it makes a particularly use- fnlý alloy in the structural com- ponents of nuclear poo,,er react- ors," hie said. the Eldorado decçion to con-, struct facilities to' produce zir- conium alloy insured Canada a self -sufficiency in the ýfield of nuclear power generation. Mr. Burger said since, a leng- thy development for sncb a criti- cal component was iiecessary and a proving Period *as required to confirm the acceptability of reactor componets, zirconium al- loy was assured of a continuing demand over the next two dec- ades. The automated type plant, sim- ilar to the present uranium set- up, will require 25 tecbnical per- sonnel for supervision. "The re- maining '75 will flot need special_ qualifications," Mr. Burger said, "They wiîf be trained in tbe plant." ;Russell Honey, Durham1 MP, who was present at the press also the potential export market. He congratulated Mr., Burger conferen ce, said the new plant would be helpful to the develop- ment of the area and to Canada, "9% of Canada's employed la- bour force produced the food to' supply ou r own national require- ments and stili make us the four- tb largest exporter of f arm, prod- ucts in the world," Durham M.P. Russeill Honey told a meeting of the Durham Farmers Union in Pontypool last Friday 'evening. lHe stated this is possible only because of the great efficiency of the Canadian farmner. Mr. Honey said that on his ré- cçnt trip to Rome to, attend the Food and Agricultural Confer- ence of the Uniited Nations bie had learned that Western Eur- ope bas, 23% of its labour force employed. in, agriculture, Eastern Europe and 'the USSR have 4 1%, Latin Amterica, had 55% and Asia bas 60% and yet many of theso countries stili 'cannot- provide enouigh agricultural' products, for their domestic consumption. The Durham M.P. stated that' the 'Canadiian agriculturai in-*' dustry bas reached this level of production without -penalizing the Canadian consumer. Consum- ers in Eastern Europe and the USSR spend 47% of their income on food, 42% in Africa, 41% in Latin America,, 36% in Western Europe and the Canadian Con. sumer spends about 20% -of bis -income on food., "While ail o f this is heartening for the Canadian consumer and the economy of Canadians. gen- erally one must question wheth- er or not the farmner is being ask-- ed to, sacrifice too much", Mr. Honey said. Be stated that it was 0o10 of ter.esponsiblilities of, government- in consultation with the farm organizations to. keep a balance between -production andi m arket demand. "It might seem to be an easy solution to the fiarmers net in- come problem to increase the, cost to the consumei; but this would only drive him 'to dairy product substitutes" said the M.P. He stated butter consump- tion in Canada is down 8% this year and the consumptionof mar- gamine isý going up proportion- ately. The federal, government tries Lo inclrease the farmers return and at the saine time keep, the cost to the consumer at reason- able levels. This year the subsidy paid by the federal goverament directly to the faimer on manu- facturing milk is $1.21 per cwt. which will total approimately,130 million dollars in ail, Mr. Honey said. and bis staff for, the work over the past four years in developing zirconium. "It had to be donej carefully, efficiently and correct- Iy,"' he said, "to satisfy the Gov- erfiment that the company should ,go ahead with the project."1 Mr. Honey said the Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, the Hon. Jean-Lue Pepin, -had been pleased at the way Eldorado pre- sented the project. Mr. Pepin had- indicated lie would like to, pay a visit to the plant and Port Hope. "Perbaps this can be arranged for early àa the new year," he added.
