Methane is a key greenhouse gas (GHG), and atmospheric methane emissions in Alberta are associated with a variety of industry sectors: sanitary landfills, wood waste landfills, feedlot operations and the oil and gas sector. When the quantities released at individual locations are relatively small, this methane cannot be used as an energy source; therefore, environmentally […]

Weather is a significant driver of daily natural gas and electricity price moves in various North American markets. Weather drives retail energy consumption, which in turn drives market prices through a supply and demand process. The combined volume and price uncertainty is one of the main financial risks for an energy retailer like Direct Energy […]

Pegmatites are important sources of several rare elements which are essential for development of modern technologies. The pegmatite deposits in Uganda had been explored and mined until the early 1970’s. At present, they are being re-evaluated and exploration for new deposits is ongoing. Auranda is seeking to establish models for mineral production based on certified, […]

This project focuses on developing a smart, wearable system powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced brain signal analysis to help monitor worker fatigue and stress in the mining industry. Mining is a demanding job, and workers often face long hours and stressful conditions, increasing the risk of accidents. The system uses a small, non-invasive […]

Le projet vise à améliorer un système de détection des anomalies dans des cellules de flottation, un procédé employé dans l’industrie minière. Actuellement, un détecteur d’anomalie développé par Jumine dans la cellule de flottation identifie des problèmes tels que la vitesse inappropriée de la mousse, son affaissement ou encore sa coalescence trop importante, mais ne […]

Finning Canada, as the world’s largest Caterpillar dealer, operates across diverse industries, including mining, construction, petroleum, and forestry, while maintaining a strong commitment to community investment and support. However, the organization faces a pressing challenge in fully realizing its potential for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within its workforce and corporate culture. The need for […]

Elida is a newly discovered copper porphyry prospect located in Central Peru. The overall copper reserves are unknown and cannot be estimated from field inspection alone. The proposed research by the intern is aimed at helping to solve this ‘puzzle’ by using and developing remote sensing (RS) and geographic information systems (GIS) techniques for this […]

L’approche conventionnelle de l’interprétation des résultats de géochimie d’exploration implique généralement des méthodes statistiques variablement sophistiquées. La faible capacité prédictive de la méthode est notoire. De plus, la littérature demeure sans réponse quant aux sites de fixation préférentiels des métaux dans les sédiments de lac. Dans le but d’éventuellement relier la source aux enrichissements secondaires, […]

La mine du mont Wright, située à Fermont au Québec, est le plus important producteur de minerai de fer du Canada. Le gisement se trouve dans des roches ayant été plissée plusieurs fois et possiblement disséquées par des failles tardives. Le projet de maîtrise-recherche proposé, en partenariat entre la compagnie ArcelorMittal et Polytechnique Montréal, vise […]

We are developing a new system to help banks and financial institutions better assess credit risk—the chance that a borrower might not repay a loan. Traditional methods use standard data like credit scores, but they often miss valuable information hidden in detailed credit reports. Our project aims to use advanced artificial intelligence, specifically transformer models, […]

Le présent projet de stage porte sur la propriété Belleterre de Les Mines JAG Ltée qui est située à environ 150km au sud de Rouyn Noranda et 70km à l’est de Ville-Marie, c’est un site aurifère en contexte volcano-sédimentaire, avec zones de déformation et mise en place de veines aurifères et de formation de fer […]

The feasibility of blending hydrogen into its natural gas infrastructure to support global decarbonization efforts is currently being explored in Canada. With hydrogen emerging as a clean energy alternative, this project aims to integrate hydrogen into Energir’s gas infrastructure while addressing challenges related to material compatibility and safety. The study involves laboratory experiments to assess […]
