Canada’s mining industry is one of the largest and riskiest in the world – with a fatal injury death rate more than six times the national average of other private industries. This week’s Blog from Speedshield Technologies explores the innovations and best practices working behind the scenes to help narrow the gap when it comes to safety.

With remote camps, vast perimeters, harsh climates, and high-value assets create an environment where safety and security are constant priorities, mines have typically been difficult to protect. This week’s Blog from Axis Communications discusses how cybersecurity can no longer be treated as an add-on to mining operations and how companies must instead take a lifecycle approach to cybersecurity.

Sarens is participating in the construction of potash storage facilities on behalf of its client Maple Reinders, which will enable the export of 4.5 million tons of potash per year of for the manufacture of food fertilizer. This week’s Blog will look at the project scope and what it will bring to Canada’s potash industry.

To strengthen its production capabilities and optimize resource efficiency, Nyrstar has partnered with the German manufacturer MSE Filterpressen GmbH, a company specialized in industrial filter press systems, to support the solid-liquid separation stage within the established Roast-Leach-Electrowinning (RLE) zinc production process. This week’s Blog explores the technology that directly affects yield, process stability, and occupational safety.

With demand for critical minerals on the rise, mining activity in Northern Canada is only going to increase., which will require new solutions for treating water that becomes contaminated from mining. This week’s Blog from the Canadian Light Source shows us work being done at the Yukon University Research Centre and Université de Moncton that is setting out to help mitigate this contamination.

The push to decarbonize, as well as geopolitical events, have turned once-overlooked niche metals markets into essentials, and demand for these minerals could double or even quadruple by 2040. This week’s Blog from Stantec discusses the importance of due diligence and how the best past forward will be navigated with a clear head, tough questions, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Upgraded integration with Imago expands Leapfrog’s cloud-integrated capabilities and advances the value of core images for geologists at every stage of modelling for faster, better insights. This week’s Blog explores how Seequent helps its customers address ever-evolving geoscience challenges more productively and intelligently.

Heap leaching has been the backbone of metal recovery for decades, yet some operations still rely on outdated irrigation leaching systems. This week’s Blog from Orbia, Netafim showcases how transitioning toward systems able to sustain diffusion uniformity, along with automated technology, can help streamline operations to improve metal recovery while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Mining operations run on one fundamental truth: downtime costs money – a lot of money. This week’s Blog from Opticom Tech shows us how thermal video monitoring catches issues early to help avoid expensive downtime and catastrophic failures.
