The Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) launched a cross-Canada call for proposals for high-impact, innovative clean technologies for the mining industry. The organization has a mandate to provide funding for such projects.
Proposals are sought in four technical areas: how to increase mine production at lower costs; how to reduce mining energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; how to implement smart, autonomous mining systems; and how to reduce environmental risk and long-term liabilities.
