Rising demand for critical metals is driving operators to adopt digital platforms to build smarter, faster mines. This week’s Blog from AVEVA discusses how Canada is stepping up and making major investments into its critical mineral resources to meet the demand.

With global supply chains under strain and an intensifying race for critical minerals, resource-rich nations like Canada are seeing a convergence of digitalization and energy demand, which represents both an economic opportunity and a strategic leverage. This week’s Blog from VJ Sahi at Clark Street Associates explores how Canadian mining companies can optimize these opportunities while minimizing the risks.

With new federal investment, tax credit extensions, and infrastructure funding, Canada’s mineral exploration and development sector is at a turning point – and AME Roundup 2026 is where you can find out what the future holds. The event is the premier gathering place for thousands of geoscientists, prospectors, financiers, investors, suppliers and indigenous partners, so mark your calendars for January 26-29, 2026, in Vancouver as this week’s Blog explores everything you can expect to see when you attend.

New technology isn’t always about automation or artificial intelligence (AI). Sometimes, it’s about finding a safer and more efficient way for people to reach the places machines can’t. This week’s article from MCL Height Safety shows how rope access is gaining ground fast in the mining world.

Traditional methods of moving material from pit to plant are being re-evaluated to deliver higher performance with greater flexibility – while reducing costs and carbon footprint. This week’s Blog from Railveyor shows how the mines of today could be designed around haulage and materials handling systems to make the best use of rail systems and belt conveyors and drive greater value.

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.
