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.

寒武纪学院提议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型企业和大型企业以及全省和加拿大的公司提供服务。采矿是加拿大历史基岩的一部分，但它也是其经济未来的重要组成部分。从18世纪的第一个大规模工业提取矿产资源的工业提取，加拿大已成为矿业领域的领导者。在全球范围内，加拿大是领先的采矿国家之一，也是最大的矿产和金属生产国之一。采矿业面临的挑战在于，采用数字革命比其他部门要慢。采矿的转变更加麻烦，因为在其运营的规模和复杂性使这些类型的步骤变化的行业中采用新技术有多困难。大多数矿山仍在使用旧技术，并且面临着更深入地下运营的日益增长的需求，易于达到的成本和生产率的节省变得越来越难以获得。智能采矿中心位于安大略省萨德伯里（Sudbury），被称为“采矿业硅谷”，将与中小型企业和最终用户合作，通过应用研究，专业培训机会以及对HQP和设备的访问，帮助他们缩小创新差距。
