The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) in Sudbury is funding a research project aimed at developing a wireless condition monitoring system to detect faults and avoid catastrophic failures of fixed and mobile equipment in underground mi

About 10 years ago, the federal government in Australia made mining and other resource development research a national priority. Since then, the country has emerged as a leader in mining research.

The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) wants to help mining supply and service businesses develop ideas that have been sitting in the bottom of desk drawers.

The Sudbury-based Deep Mining Research Consortium (DMRC) has commissioned a study to investigate the application of geothermal energy technologies to cool deep mine workings and use the heat from underground to produce energy, heat surface buildings

The Sudbury-based Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) has approved funding for several capacity building initiatives, exploratory projects and research studies.

Exploration geologists and astrobiologists share a keen interest in sampling and analyzing rocks for their metallic content, but while geologists are looking for the next big discovery of base and precious metals, astrobiologists are hoping to learn

A multi-million dollar research project led by Dr. Greg Baiden, Chief Technology Officer at Sudbury-based Penguin Automated Systems Inc., sounds more like a script for a Hollywood science fiction thriller.

Research conducted at the Northern Centre for Advanced Technology’s (NORCAT) experimental mine north of Sudbury this past winter has demonstrated the feasibility of using a mixture of waste rock and tailings sprayed with ice cold water to fill mined

Researchers at Laurentian University are gearing up for a five-year, $24 million research initiativeto enhance productivity and manage risk in underground mining operations.

The final report of a study evaluating the use of filter systems for underground diesel equipment points the way forward to lower emissions of potentially harmful diesel particulate matter and safer working conditions for miners.
