The overarching goal of this project is to determine whether glacial mineral extract improves the overall health of skin cells. To do this, we will test the extract on human epithelial cells in petri dishes. More specifically, we will test whether the glacial mineral extracts help the cells to grow and study how the cells […]

Comminution is the most energy intensive process in mining operations, which represents a major operating cost and contributes the carbon footprint of mining activities. In recent years, high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and high speed stirred mills technologies have been attractive due to their energy efficiency comparing to conventional tumbling mills (including autogenous/semi-autogenous grinding mills […]

Mining operations have significant environmental impacts, making the adoption of innovative, energy-efficient materials handling technologies crucial for achieving both economic viability and environmental sustainability. This Mitacs project focuses on optimizing the materials handling systems at the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell (KSM) Project in British Columbia to reduce its operating costs and GHG emissions. The project aims to identify […]

Le projet MicroGeoNx vise l’utilisation des méthodes génomiques pour améliorer la caractérisation et le monitoring des réservoirs géologiques souterrains. Les réservoirs de stockage souterrain sont essentiels aux activités de gestion de réseau de distribution et permettent entre autres d’améliorer la sécurité énergétique des régions où ils sont exploités. Intragaz SEC opère les deux réservoirs de […]

C-FER Technologies, specializing in advanced engineering solutions, primarily focuses on addressing industry challenges through rigorous testing and research in harsh operational environments. This project specifically engages C-FER’s expertise in high-pressure hydrogen testing and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) to tackle the pressing issue of hydrogen embrittlement in pipeline steels. By simulating extreme conditions, the partnership aims […]

STEMCELL Technologies supports the research of Canadian and international scientists (academic, industrial, clinical) by supplying labs with research tools to investigate research questions tied to some of the most pressing health care needs faced by the Canadian community. STEMCELL’s high quality standards in the cell and biomolecule isolation market are continuously driving the company to […]

Greenhouse gas emission is a growing hazard, and in Canada, facilities emitting GHG over 10 kt CO2 eq/yr are mandated to report their emissions. Oxy-fuel combustion (OFC) is one promising solution for decarbonizing industrial production plants with post-combustion carbon capture. However, the implementation in existing facilities is limited by logistical aspects such as the lack […]

C-CORE and Memorial University have teamed to supervised the development of a 3U CubeSat called MUNStar-1. The CubeSat is an earth observation satellite containing a scientific payload for the measurement of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Reflectometry (GNSS-R) signals. The satellite will measure a number of ocean parameters to help understand climate change impacts, particularly […]

Le transport du minerai par convoyeur dans les mines est crucial pour l’efficacité et la rentabilité. Les convoyeurs nécessitent une préparation préalable du minerai par concassage pour améliorer la durée de vie de la bande, la fiabilité du système et réduire les coûts. Comparés aux camions, les convoyeurs présentent un avantage énergétique grâce à leurs […]

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) could potentially increase the efficiency of construction projects and profitability. However, 3DCP typically mixes contain high volume of paste which implies high volume of binder. The expeditious development of 3DCP requires exploring other prospective and sustainable mixes besides the use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based mixes to meet the high-volume […]

Triple Point Resources is in the feasibility stage of developing salt caverns in the Fischells salt dome for green energy hydrogen and compressed air energy storage. Ambient geothermal temperatures affects project economics as it dictates the maximum density or gas capacity for gas injection and extraction therefore being a link to the operational business case. […]

The proposed project is designed to improve the efficiency and accuracy of habitat restoration after it has been used for resource extraction (e.g., mining, forestry). This recovery process is known as ‘reclamation’. We will work with the partner organisation, Teck Resources, to assess reclamation progress in a large copper mine in western Canada. We will […]
