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Heap leaching has been the backbone of metal recovery for decades, yet some operations still rely on outdated irrigation leaching systems.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.

Dam safety is a critical responsibility in mining, especially when dealing with tailings storage facilities (TSFs). This week’s Blog shows how real-time monitoring technology can be deployed to meet the GISTM framework, reduce risk, and streamline decision-making across the lifecycle of a TSF.

Copper is currently under the global spotlight as a crucial resource for technologies that drive both the global energy transition and digital transformation. In this week’s Blog, Devan Pillay, President of Heavy Industries at Schneider Electric – recognized as ‘The World’s Most Sustainable Corporation’ – issues a call to action as the world faces a looming copper crisis.

The requirement to comply with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) is widely known by Canadian public companies with interests in mineral projects; however, those requirements are not always understood. This week’s Blog focuses on the specific issues that apply to private issuers when considering technical disclosure and compliance with NI 43-101.

The integration of continuous geochemical scanning in drilling campaigns is allowing geologists to interpret core samples with an unprecedented level of detail. This week’s Blog highlights how this technology provides dense, visual, and comparable data that is transforming the way the subsurface is understood.

Critical minerals are the building blocks of tomorrow, and Canada is uniquely poised to play a strategic role supplying these essential materials that power electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and high-tech industries around the world. In this week’s Blog, Canadian Mining Magazine speaks with Stantec’s Cody Ryckman about how Canada is setting itself up to become a future global critical mineral powerhouse.
