Because the transfer for all industries towards web zero accelerates, MICA will velocity the event and commercialization of revolutionary autonomous and clear applied sciences for the mining sector. This initiative is anticipated to increase the operational lives of current mines and cut back the time it takes to convey new mineral deposits into manufacturing, making Canada a world chief in sustainable mining in addition to cleantech growth.
“MICA will join regional mining clusters to cross-sector innovation centres throughout the nation to create a nationwide community, permitting mining corporations entry to the mining innovation ecosystem in a single place,” CEMI and MICA chair Marianne Matichuk mentioned.
4 technical themes shall be developed: 1) improve mine manufacturing at a decrease value; 2) cut back mining vitality consumption and greenhouse gasoline emissions; 3) implement sensible, autonomous mining techniques, and 4) cut back environmental danger and long-term liabilities. Funding shall be made obtainable to eligible MICA members to discover these areas.
MICA will attain its objectives with the assist of main companions, together with The Bradshaw Analysis Initiative for Minerals and Mining (B.C.), InnoTech Alberta, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, MaRS (Ontario), Groupe MISA (Quebec) and the School of the North Atlantic (Newfoundland). The federal authorities can also be supporting the community by means of its Strategic Innovation Fund.
