Oil sand tailings could take ages to naturally dewater enough to be reclaimed. Finding ways to accelerate dewatering fluid tailings is crucial to improving overall reclamation planning and performance. The goal of the proposed project is to establish a new thermoanalytical technique for quantification and analysis of free and bound water contents in both individual […]

Le Canada est un important producteur de cuivre et de zinc. Ces deux métaux sont exploités pratiquement en continu depuis les années 1950 dans le Camp Minier de Matagami en Abitibi. Le district a produit près de 5 millions de tonnes de zinc à l’aide d’une douzaine de gisements appelés « amas sulfurés ». Ces […]

Brine water is often produced in mineral extracting processes. It can cause damage to soil and biota when being spilled during storage and transportation. The damage can last for decades. Even after a mineral extracting process is closed, the damage of soil structure and composition would still not be recovered. The long-lasting devastation may cause […]

Natural gas use in transportation sector has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy truck, marine, light duty vehicles, and rail transport with a 20-30% reduction. It is proposed that a comprehensive scoping of research priorities related to natural gas vehicles and refueling infrastructure be undertaken. The outcome of this work would be […]

Heavy gas oil (HGO) obtained from Athabasca bitumen is very difficult to hydrotreat due to high sulfur and nitrogen content. It is proposed that removal of non-basic nitrogen species from HGO prior to hydrotreating will strongly enhance desulfurization process and improve the length of catalytic cycle. The goal of this research is to develop a […]

Shawcor wants to work with a team of three MBA students looking for a challenge. Each student will be assigned one of the business segments of pipeline and pipe services, composite systems, or automotive and industrial (connection systems), stretching across all served markets. 1) After they complete an orientation and conduct an in-depth analysis of […]

Reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to limit the impacts of climate change requires implementation of CO2 reduction technologies across a wide variety of industries. This research project will develop carbon management and sequestration technologies for reducing CO2 emissions in the mining industry with a focus on diamond mines in Canada, South Africa and Botswana. The […]

The intern will determine which factors determine the distribtuion of gold at the Magino gold project, near Wawa Ontario. This will be accomplished by geologic mapping and examination of drill core at the Magino site during two summer field seasons. Samples and data collected in the filed will be returned to Laureitan University and examined […]

This study will assess the behaviour, physiology and reproduction of individual birds breeding on reclaimed mine tailings, and will provide a robust measure of the effectiveness of reclamation efforts on the Highland Valley Copper operating area. By examining a range of life-history traits in two ecologically distinct species, and comparing birds breeding on reclaimed mine […]

In an economic crisis such as a pandemic, every aspect of a company’s strategy and capital deployment must be reviewed, from management to assets and projects that are within the company’s pipeline. Investors both domestically and internationally will ultimately be more risk-averse during periods of economic crises. Therefore, going forward, a junior mining company’s corporate […]

Metals extraction is essential to society and to Québec’s economy, and gold is one of the main economic substance that the Province in renowned for. Gold mineralization is formed by processes involving hydrothermal fluids and these processes are not fully understood. For example, the source of the fluids, copper and gold are still hotly debated, […]
