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）。它将服务于安大略省东北部采矿业的中小型企业和大型最终用户，以及全省和加拿大的公司。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世纪第一次大规模的工业开采矿产资源开始，加拿大已经成为世界采矿业的领导者。在全球范围内，加拿大是主要的矿业国家之一，也是最大的矿物和金属生产国之一。采矿业面临的挑战是，与其他行业相比，采矿业采用数字革命的速度较慢。采矿业的转变更为繁琐，因为在采矿业采用新技术是多么困难，因为采矿业的规模和业务的复杂性使这些类型的步骤变化变得令人望而却步。大多数矿山仍在使用传统技术，并且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约变得越来越难以实现。智能采矿中心位于被称为“采矿业硅谷”的安大略省萨德伯里，该中心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HQP和设备，帮助他们缩小创新差距。
