What we're exploring
Growing our capacity in mineral extraction and processing and other areas related to mining and minerals
Providing creative solutions to increase mining production while reducing environmental impacts and enhancing safety
Leading innovation in:
- digital, artificial intelligence (AI) and communications applications in mining
- mining automation
- geotechnical and geomechanical applications
- energy and water use
- environmental managment
Strengthening partnerships with industry and research organizations
Why it matters
Saskatchewan holds 50 percent of the world’s potash reserves and produces 30 percent of the world’s potash
Canada is the world’s leading uranium producer at 20 percent of global production, all of which comes from Saskatchewan
USask Engineering is focused on partnering with the mining sector to solve challenges ranging from geotechnical problems in producing ores to adopting new technologies for improving safety, efficiency and environmental stewardship
The world-wide initiative toward the "electrification of everything" will require a 1000 percent or more increase in mining activity
The Government of Saskatchewan has set significant growth targets for production of uranium, potash, and strategic metals and minerals, as well as for mineral exploration
