The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) received $15 million in federal funding for its Ultra Deep Mining Network, announced Greg Rickford, Minister of State for Science and Technology.

Rickford made the announcement at Science North's Vale Cavern, where representatives from CEMI and Vale said the funding will help address the challenges posed by mining deeper than 2.5 km.

The CEMI project was one of the winners of the government's Business-led Networks of Centres of Excellence.

The $15 million in funding for the Ultra Deep Mining Network was the largest grant awarded to the program's four funding recipients.

“Clearly Sudbury is going to be the face of ultra deep mining research,” said Rickford. “We think this kind of research isn't just important to improve the effectiveness of deep mining and safety, but it also creates jobs.”
