CMIC Exploration Innovation Consortium

The CMIC Exploration Innovation Consortium and its 25 partners from major and junior exploration and mining companies and mineral industry service providers, are committed to the promotion and discovery of new mineral resources. This will be achieved through focused, innovative and collaborative research and technology development, training, and education in mineral exploration in partnership between the exploration industry, the service industry, and the university and government-based research community. This is a long-term strategy that will result in the development of several multi-year research platforms which will act as a focus for both industry and government strategic funding of Canada's mineral research network.
