This proposed Alliance project is a partnership with Eriez Flotation, Resourceful Paths and Magneto Investments to develop a modelling tool to improve technology upgrade investment decision-making for the mining industry. Mineral production represents an important sector for the Canadian economy, but is also associated with social and environmental impacts including significant consumption of water and energy. Technologies to increase metal recovery play an important role in reducing the overall water and energy consumption per tonne of product. Although the benefits of such technologies have been well documented in academic literature, there is an overwhelming emphasis on engineering indicators and the associated financial gains are rarely quantified. This project overcomes this gap by developing coupled engineering-financial models which aim to empower site decision makers with an understanding of the financial savings that can accrue due to investment in new technologies. This project has a specific focus on technologies aimed at increasing mineral recovery.

这个拟议的联盟项目是与Eriez Flotation、Resourcful Paths和Magneto Investments合作开发的一个建模工具，以改善采矿业的技术升级投资决策。 矿产生产是加拿大经济的一个重要部门，但也与社会和环境影响有关，包括大量消耗水和能源。提高金属回收率的技术在降低每吨产品的总体水和能源消耗方面发挥着重要作用。 虽然这些技术的好处在学术文献中有很好的记载，但压倒性地强调工程指标，而相关的财务收益很少量化。 该项目通过开发耦合的工程财务模型来克服这一差距，该模型旨在使现场决策者了解由于投资新技术而可能产生的财务节省。该项目特别侧重于旨在提高矿物回收率的技术。
