Artificial Intelligence and geospatial intelligence are revolutionizing Canada’s mining sector, and companies are increasingly turning to AI-powered technology platforms for a competitive edge. This week’s Blog shows us how BigGeo is at the forefront of AI, providing real-time data visualization, analytics, modeling, and simulation on an unprecedented scale in order to enhance efficiency, safety, and sustainability in mining.

For mining operations, special attention to piping is needed to keep and maintain operations flowing. It is not uncommon for metal pipes to leak or break due to significant wear and damage over time, and maintenance managers often anticipate that their metal pipes would need replacing sooner rather than later. This week’s Blog from Redwood Plastics and Rubber showcases an option wrapped in plastic and talks about how polyurethanemight bring a solution.

From harsh weather conditions to dangerous machinery, mining can be a dangerous job and operations must be able to overcome many unique safety challenges that change on a daily basis. Composite and industrial plastic materials may hold the solution. This week’s Blog from Redwood Plastics and Rubber explores how plastic solutions can increase the safety of your mining operations.

At present, Canada does not have any production of valuable mineral sands such as zircon and titanium and, given current development plans, we are unlikely to see new mines producing these minerals in the foreseeable future. The good news is that tailings ponds may hold the key to unlocking critical minerals. This week’s Blog from CVW CleanTech explores the hidden riches withing Canada’s oil sands.

The race for global LNG dominance is ongoing, with fierce competition. This week’s Blog from EY Canada breaks down the numbers and discusses the future of LNG in Canada.

Ontario Mine Rescue district competitions were underway in arenas across the province last month, where twenty teams of mine rescue volunteers demonstrated their emergency response capabilities at the event. This week’s Blog takes a closer look at the event, as well as the winners from each provincial mining district.

At the heart of mining, quarrying, and aggregate operations lies a crucial yet often overlooked aspect: rugged, robust, and reliable electrical connections, where every component is exposed to a relentless onslaught from dust, moisture, vibrations, and extreme temperature. This week’s Blog from MELTRIC® Corporation discusses the unique set of challenges to keeping the power on at your mine site.

TAKRAF’s railcar dumper technology is forming an essential part of the key material handling equipment supplied to an important Canadian bulk terminal expansion. This week’s Blog takes a closer look at the wagon tippler and what it brings to the project.
