NTWIST is a company based in Edmonton, Alberta. Since 2018, NTWIST has provided Artificial Intelligence solutions to the industrial sector to achieve Industrial Excellence. However, the company is under a transition period which response to its recently renewed purpose: to reduce 100 million tonnes of GHG while improving $1 billion in revenue for our industrial […]

Gold mining is an important industry for the Yukon economy and provides minerals critical to the Canadian economy. However, most of the historically mined deposits have targeted a relatively small portion of Yukon territory related to the formation of a volcanic arc about 100 to 90 million of years ago. This project will characterize a […]

To determine the infrastructure and their equipment needs throughout the life of a mine, mining companies solves a long-term planning problem that aims at determining the mining sequences that will maximize the net present value of profits while taking into account operational constraints. These problems are very difficult to solve because of their huge size. […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de développer une approche d’intégration de données provenant des nuages de points et des images dans le but d’obtenir un modèle 3D précis, complet et texturé. Le modèle 3D ainsi permet d’effectuer une inspection visuelle immersive à haute résolution et de procéder à des analyses structurelles précises assurant un suivi […]

Copper is typically extracted from secondary sulfide minerals using heap leaching, a relatively low-cost hydrometallurgical technique. In this process, leaching solutions are irrigated on top of a packed ore bed and percolate through the porous materials. Fe(III) is required as an oxidant in the extraction process and must be continuously regenerated to sustain the reaction. […]

With the announcement by the Government of Canada of increasing measures to reduce CO2 and other GHG emissions to Net-zero, the PTRC has begun to reposition itself as a world-leader in CCUS to help the country, and international partners, reach aggressive targets by 2030 and 2050 respectively. With the new realities of carbon pricing, taxes […]

The goal of this study is to look at the effects of healthy lifestyle on obesity status in men who are middle aged, slightly overweight and don’t exercise. This study will use exercise and nutrition guidelines to look at their effect on some of the hormones which maintain healthy body weight. Subjects enrolled in this […]

At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We know that the world can’t get to net-zero starting from ground zero – so we provide the know-how to […]

This project will be used to assist the mining industry in predicting the best possible practices for designing and operating mines. By developing an understand of how comminution tests represent the machinery we can predict what is required to breakdown the raw rocks from the ground into valuable products we can make mining both more […]

La société moderne présente de nombreux enjeux, mais deux seront attaqués par ce projet : une production alimentaire respectueuse de l’environnement et le réchauffement de la Terre par les gaz à effet de serre. L’utilisation d’engrais biologiques s’avère manifestement préférable aux engrais chimiques. Il est proposé que l’apatite (un minéral de phosphate et de calcium […]

There are four main objectives for the proposed project: (1) To investigate three techniques of aiding the wet screening process including: (a) inclined screening combined with water jets, (b) sonication, and (c) a combination of those two techniques, to find optimum operating conditions for each technique and allow them to be evaluated and compared. (2) […]

The green transition requires the sourcing of critical metals like copper, zinc, cobalt, and nickel for use in climate change mitigating technology. This internship will train one Masters-level student to study the geological setting and localization of these metals associated with ancient submarine volcanic rocks in the Tilt Cove and Betts Cove regions of the […]
