Canada invest C$5m in mining innovation
The Canadian government has announced a C$5-million investment in the Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation Inc (CEMI) to support the Mining Innovation Commercialisation Accelerator (MICA) network.
The funding will help Canada deliver critical minerals more efficiently, accelerating the global transition to net-zero technologies and reinforcing the country’s leadership in sustainable mining.
"As Canada's mining industry grows, so do the opportunities for Canadians. We are in a great position to build the foundation for a future net-zero economy, and we are committed to making sure that Canadians stand ready to benefit from the jobs and growth that accompany this transition. By investing in Canada's mining sector, we are securing high-paying Canadian jobs that set this generation and the next up for success," said Innovation, Science and Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne in a statement.
Headquartered in Sudbury, Ontario, the MICA network has played a key role in innovation within Canada's mining sector. Since its inception in 2021, MICA has supported the creation of more than 435 jobs and mobilised C$170-million in private-sector investments.
"The government of Canada is committed to driving innovation and sustainability in the mining sector. Through this investment in the MICA network, we are supporting Canadian innovators in developing cutting-edge clean technologies that will increase production, reduce emissions and strengthen our critical minerals supply chains. This funding will help accelerate the commercialisation of transformative solutions, ensuring Canada remains a global leader in responsible and sustainable mining," said Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson.
