Research project finds home

A $6.8-million research and development program at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont., will focus on developing mining and environmental monitoring technology.

The Ontario government provided $2.2 million, with the remainder provided by the school and the private sector.

The objective is to cut mining costs, as well as improve waste management and reclamation techniques.

As part of the program, two chairs will be created at the university — one in environmental monitoring technology; the other in mining technology and innovation.

Laurentian will manage the program, which benefits from contributions by Denison Mines, Falconbridge, Rio Algom and Inco, as well as non-profit organizations.
