Autonomous Robots in Mining: The Differences Between Online and Offline SLAM
There are many ways we can empower robots to navigate their environment autonomously. We can equip them with GPS, use an array of cameras and sensors (including smell), even get them to talk with each other and strategize. But if you want a robot to do all that on its own without using any outside sensors you’ll most likely have to use a process known as SLAM, or Simultaneous Localization And Mapping. SLAM is a remarkable algorithm that enables robots to safely navigate an environment they have no prior knowledge of. However, SLAM has its weak spots — relying heavily on environments…

Canada’s Federal Government Commits to Expedite, Streamline, and Stimulate Mining Exploration and Permitting – But is it Enough?
After years of underwhelming policy support, Canada’s federal government is pivoting from being a disinterested gatekeeper to being a more invested partner and project enabler. Does this mean a new day is dawning in Canadian mining? This week’s Blog from the experts at Fasken takes a look at what international mining companies and investors interested in exploring Canadian opportunities need to know, as well as the wider economic and geopolitical issues at stake.

Canadian Miners Asking: Will Canada Remain a Competitive Jurisdiction for Mining Companies with Global Assets?
Canadian miners have been looking for alternative investment structures to secure much needed capital investment to build new mines and refining capacity. Yet it would seem as though the federal government is throwing cold water on the idea of foreign investment. This week’s blog from the experts at McMillan LLP explores what this means for Canadian mining companies and what options they may have at their disposal

Simplifying Autonomous Robotics: A Guide to Waypoint and Exploration Missions
The idea of using robots might sound like futuristic sci-fi jargon, but actually the technology is analogous to the same chips and code that’s in your smartphone or advanced driver’s assistance in your car. Robotics for mapping and surveying are similar. The technology can seem complex, but the goal is to provide you with the safest and most cost-effective method to autonomously navigate and map an area with extreme precision. This week’s Blog from Exyn Technology helps to determine science fiction from science fact when it comes to robotic autonomy.

Reducing Maintenance with Polyurethane Pipes: Superior Abrasion Resistance and Lighter than Steel
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.

Alberta: Rich in More Than Just Oil
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.
