Connect with the Builders and Innovators of Mining Technology

Mining Transformed is the event where mining executives come to evaluate technologies solving the industry’s most urgent problems.

As the world’s only technology exhibition in an operation mine, Mining Transformed offers an exclusive opportunity to be immersed in the future of mining, providing firsthand access to the latest innovations reshaping the industry.

Attendees will see live demonstrations of emerging technologies, both underground and on surface at the NORCAT Underground Centre, while gaining valuable insights on integration strategies, and best practices for deploying solutions across your operations.

By bringing together the industry's brightest minds, including leaders from the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), Mining Transformed will give you the chance to engage directly with the innovators driving change.

Whether you’re focused on improving efficiency, enhancing safety, or adopting sustainable practices, Mining Transformed is your portal to the future of mining.
