Large amounts of crude oil and natural gas are located deep beneath Canada’s ocean floors. Currently, the offshore oil and gas industry makes a significant contribution to Canadian economy. Proper geotechnical modeling of seabed sediment is very important for safe, economic and reliable development and operation of offshore systems. The proposed research will advance the […]

The problem to be addressed is if detailed laboratory studies can be designed out to confirm and extend the historical, anecdotal information on the therapeutic/medicinal properties of Kisameet clay (KC). There is much non-scientific information alleging the potent antimicrobial activities of many clay products. In this research proposal we propose to carry out a detailed […]

With the growth in demand for electric vehicles and mobile devices powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, demand for lithium is expected to increase by over 200% in the next decade. Current lithium production comes primarily from Australia, South America and China. There are significant lithium reserves in the same Saskatchewan aquifers currently being exploited for […]

There is an increasing interest in applications of machine learning to solve mining and geotechnical problems; this is made easier thanks to user-friendly and open source machine learning codes and improved computational power. The benefit of incorporating machine learning in rock engineering design are apparent, including the reduction in the time required to sort and […]

The raw materials that support and accompany the development of society will always be essential beyond the technological evolution. The challenge is to renew the reserve of natural resources at great depth. For new exploitation of these resources, the borrowing of old infrastructure of mining camps above and below the ground makes it possible to […]

In an environment of high risk and competitive, the mining industry needs continuous innovation and productivity enhancement. One of the major issues with present hard rock deposits is the cyclic mining operation associated with the drill and blast method. Another major obstacle in the extraction and processing of such rocks is the relatively high wear […]

Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation is currently facing stagnancy to branch out into various projects. COVID-19 had limited their funding and now the corporation would like to attract for investors and entrepreneurs to invest in the natural resource industry. These investments not only are limited to boosting the local economy of Trail BC but also overall […]

Panoro Minerals is one of more than 1,300 mining and/or exploration focussed companies listed on either the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) or the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX-V). Panoro Minerals competes with such companies to attract investment capital. The intern will carry out an analysis of the shareholders of companies with a similar business to Panoro […]

First Mining is a Canadian gold developer focused on the development and permitting of the Springpole Gold Project in northwestern Ontario, one of the largest undeveloped gold projects in Canada. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company remains uncertain; however, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s […]

This research work will establish a systematic workflow for analyzing transient equilibrium foamy oil phase behavior by coupling the CCEC tests, depletion rate and presence of water-in-oil emulsion which are seldom performed for heavy oil. It will provide a strong connection and comparison with previously studies which was conducted in the absence of water-in-oil emulsion. […]

Aluminum smelting is a highly energy consuming industrial process. The process generates a large amount of the heat that leaves through the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas must be scrubbed of its contaminants before release to the atmosphere at the gas treatment unit exit. The scrubbing process is more effective if this gas is cooled […]
