Here is a new way Cominco makes money "mining"

"The main reason for the improvement in Trail's quarterly operating profit was the high electricity prices. Second quarter sales volumes of surplus power from Trail's Waneta dam were similar to volumes sold in the second quarter of 1999. Trail's average quarterly electricity price realized on surplus electricity sales was $133 per megawatt hour compared with $29 last year, resulting in a $24 million increase in revenue. "
