Cambrian College's proposed Technology Access Centre will be known as the Centre for Smart Mining (CSM). It will service small and medium-sized enterprises and large end users in the mining industry in northeastern Ontario, along with firms across the province and Canada. Mining is a part of Canadas historical bedrock, but its also a significant part of its economic future. From the first large-scale industrial extraction of mineral resources in the 18th century, Canada has become a world leader in mining. Globally, Canada is one of the leading mining countries and one of the largest producers of minerals and metals. The challenge confronting the mining industry is that it has been slower to adopt the digital revolution than other sectors. The shift in mining has been more cumbersome because of how difficult it is to adopt new technologies in a sector where the scale and complexity of its operations make these types of step changes prohibitive. The majority of mines are still using legacy technology and face the growing need to drive operations deeper underground, with easily attainable costs and productivity savings becoming more difficult to obtain. Located in Sudbury, Ontario, which has been dubbed the "Silicon Valley of the mining sector", the Centre for Smart Mining will work with SMEs and end users to help them close their innovation gaps through applied research, specialized training opportunities, and access to HQP and equipment.

寒武纪学院拟建的技术访问中心将被称为智能采矿中心（CSM）。它将为安大略省东北部采矿业的中小企业和大型最终用户以及全省和加拿大的公司提供服务。采矿业是加拿大历史基石的一部分，也是其经济未来的重要组成部分。从18世纪首次大规模工业开采矿产资源开始，加拿大就成为世界采矿业的领先者。在全球范围内，加拿大是领先的矿业国家之一，也是最大的矿物和金属生产国之一。采矿业面临的挑战是，其采用数字革命的速度比其他行业慢。采矿业的转变更加麻烦，因为在采矿业采用新技术非常困难，其运营规模和复杂性使得此类阶跃变革令人望而却步。大多数矿山仍在使用传统技术，并面临着日益增长的将作业深入地下的需求，而容易实现的成本和生产力节省变得更加难以实现。智能采矿中心位于被誉为“采矿业硅谷”的安大略省萨德伯里，将与中小企业和最终用户合作，通过应用研究、专业培训机会以及获得总部和设备来帮助他们缩小创新差距。
