A Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science research team is developing a more sustainable way to mine.
Working in tandem with Newfoundland and Labrador-based Anaconda Mining Inc., and keeping with the industry’s move towards sustainability, the researchers’ sustainable mining by drilling (SMD) method continues the movement by developing vein-type deposits that are exposed on the surface or in open-pit mines as opposed to underground.
