One of NORCAT’s aspirational goals is to serve as the global one-stop-shop for all that is the future of mining technology and innovation. To deliver on this priority, NORCAT offers the world’s only operating mine designed to enable start-ups, small and medium enterprises, and international companies to develop, test, and demonstrate emerging technologies that are poised to transform the global mining industry.
“The NORCAT Underground Centre has proudly become the global destination to “see and touch” all that is the future of mining. Using our “active laboratory,” we connect and broker relationships between mining technology companies and global mining companies, creating an ecosystem like no other in the world,” cites Don Duval, NORCAT’s CEO. “We are very excited that EY, a global leader with a well-founded reputation in the mining industry, has opted to establish a presence with us to help enable their new Centre of Excellence.”
The EY Americas Mining and Metals Centre of Excellence offers companies access to cutting-edge services and innovation-led solutions that meet the most pressing needs of mining and metals businesses today and in the future. Supported by NORCAT, EY will have unique opportunities to engage with emerging technology companies, global mining companies and ultimately formulate more robust insights and perspectives into the future of the global mining industry.
“Whether it’s supporting new infrastructure or enabling the energy transition, the mining and metals industry is positioned to receive a significant demand in the foreseeable future. But companies are going to need to make the necessary changes and investments today if they want to capture growth tomorrow,” says Theo Yameogo, EY Americas Mining and Metals Leader. “By joining forces with NORCAT, we’ll not only be able to deliver extended expertise and capabilities but have the infrastructure needed to test and deliver business transformation and innovation initiatives to support companies’ growth ambitions.”
