Results of the MRNF-FRQ Research Program on Sustainable Development in the Mining Sector

This session will present the results of five of the 20 research projects funded in 2021 by the MRNF. These projects focus on the design of open-pit mine slopes, the development of an intelligent body antenna system for deep underground mines, the production of lithium-ion battery-grade graphite, the development of critical and strategic minerals (CSMs) and the recovery of mine tailings. The research program aims to encourage researchers working in a variety of disciplines to help the mining industry meet the technical, environmental and technological challenges posed by Quebec’s geological context. This session is offered jointly by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MRNF) and the Quebec Research Fund (FRQ), Nature and Technologies sector.
