Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. has proposed the Whale Tail Project, approximately 130km North of Baker Lake, NU. The project includes the construction a dyke within Whale Tail Lake that will divert water from the proposed mining pit into the surrounding lakes and tributaries, resulting in flooding that will elevate the water levels by 4 m […]

The project focuses on the evaluation of the arsenic-containing glass material that the new Dundee Sustainable Technologies (DST) process produces. The idea is to evaluate the stability of arsenic in the material, and through a feedback process to DST improve the quality of the process for the production of arsenical materials.

In recent years the lithium consumption for batteries has remarkably increased because of the extensive applications of rechargeable lithium batteries in portable electronic devices, electric tools, electric vehicles, and grid storage. The surging demand for these applications asks for innovative solutions for recycling of the spent lithium ion batteries. This proposed project is an attempt […]

The overall goal of the proposed program is the co-development of education programs and academic research with opportunities to apply this understanding in context of SEF/industry activities. The outcomes will benefit SEF’s business activities in Mongolia and other developing countries with significant mineral resource potential. The program will also support investment and business opportunities for […]

Champion Iron Mines est une société de développement et d’exploration québécoise effectuant de l’exploration régionale dans la plus importante région de production de minerai de fer du Canada. Le minerai se trouve dans des formations de fer plissées en une géométrie complexe lors de la formation de la chaîne de montagne « Grenville » il […]

Devonian reservoirs have contributed significantly to the development of the petroleum industry in Alberta. This is mainly due to their favourable characteristics of high permeability enhanced by dolomitization in these often reefal structures. Although many have had good recoveries, much oil remains to be recovered. Many of the same characteristics that led to good production […]

This collaboration between the Tai Lab at BC Cancer Agency and the biotechnology company STEMCELL will validate a 3D culturing system that supports the growth of normal and malignant pancreatic stem cells. Specifically, we hope to optimize the culturing condition for the growth media to ensure efficient and reproducible outcomes for pancreatic stem cells growing […]

Afin de réduire son empreinte environnementale, l’entreprise Nemaska Lithium souhaite revaloriser les résidus produits par le traitement de leur minerai de spodumène, un minéral riche en lithium, afin d’éviter leur entassement. Dans cet optique, différentes voies de valorisation ont été envisagées, incluant, entre autres, la fabrication de verre et vitrocéramique lithié, l’utilisation dans le ciment […]

We propose the development of novel statistical methods to improve upon detection of normal and abnormal behaviours in industrial sensors. The ability to detect subtle changes in sensor performance in a wide range of operational conditions has significant potential for MineSense Technologies Ltd., which operates sensors in challenging conditions. It can be very difficult to […]

The goal of this research is to investigate the extension of upscaling and multiscale methods and their application to efficiently simulate (frequency-dependent and time-dependent) electromagnetic fields in geophysical scenarios that include metallic-cased boreholes and fractures filled with conductive/resistive fluids. Simulating this type of geophysical settings is quite challenging because they consider highly heterogeneous media and […]

TechnipFMC is a global leader in subsea, onshore, offshore, and surface technologies. They use innovative technologies to help their clients develop their oil and gas resources. The purpose of this project is to research and evaluate two new technologies to determine the best fit for deploying the technology in TechnipFMC’s operational environment.

Oil and gas exploration and development in northeastern British Columbia contributes to the Province’s economy, but also results in disturbance of cropland due to construction of pipelines within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Currently, there is no long-term monitoring of cropland productivity on reclaimed pipeline footprints. The proposed research addresses priorities of the British Columbia Oil […]
