MineSense Technologies Ltd is a Vancouver, B.C., based early stage, technology development company with offices at the University of British Columbia. MineSense and its technology evolved from collaborative research at UBC between Vale INCO, the Norman B Keevil, Institute of Mining Engineering, and BC Mining Research Ltd. MineSense technology includes the first mineral-specific sensor of its kind in the mining industry. Currently, no other sensor technology is available that has the sensitivity or accuracy in the sensing of Nickel/Copper ores. The MineSense technology is already in use at UBC and has applications for extensive use in the global mining industry.
MineSense sensor technology also provides a gateway for MineSense to offer engineering and consulting services, which focus on an innovative Mill-Mine Integration system and design created by the current MineSense CEO, Dr Andrew Bamber. This innovative approach to traditional ore extraction and mill processing methods completes the MineSense concept, and provides an outcome that not only supports Towards Sustainable Mining, the Canadian Mining Initiative that is receiving global recognition, but also provides substantially improved economic performance and profitability. By embracing efficiency for the purposes of reducing energy consumption and reducing mining's impact on the environment, MineSense can provide the mining industry with solutions specific to its sustainability goals.
MineSense is driven by a qualified, experienced, professional technology and systems development team and a strong advisory board with past experience in nurturing and launching early stage technology startups. MineSense's goal is to provide the mining industry with applied technology solutions, mine systems and designs that support TSM and the global industry's direction towards sustainability.
The MineSense concept provides the total pre-concentration solution, of which the philosophy is:
Maximum base metal recovery + Maximum waste rejection = Maximum mine sustainability (Economic, Environmental & Social Benefit)
Today, MineSense is focused on commercializing its proprietary Nickel/Copper ore sensing technology and growing its innovative, technology driven concept.
