The Triple Performance Mining Lab
Important information
A one-day CEEC-GMG industry lab in Vancouver
Mining projects are now expected to deliver outcomes that were once treated as competing priorities: stronger productivity and lower costs alongside materially improved performance in energy, water, emissions, tailings, and safety.
Achieving this “Triple Performance” is not primarily a technology question. It is a question of how decisions are framed and made — particularly in the early design, integration, and operating strategy stages where long-term performance is largely determined.
The opportunity: direct strategic impact
The Triple Performance Mining Lab is a focused working environment designed for leaders and specialists to examine these high-stakes decisions directly.
Participants from across mine design, processing, operations, energy, water, tailings, and technology will collaborate on real-world challenges. This lab provides the setting to explore how eco-efficiency, safety, and productivity can be delivered together rather than sequentially or as a trade-off. The environment is intentionally practical, exploratory, and creative, enabling an open examination of assumptions, and system-level interactions across disciplines.
Why you should attend
This lab is designed to provide immediate value for your current and future projects. Participants leave with:
- Clearer insight: better-informed direction that can be carried into active projects, studies, and operating environments.
- Exclusive perspectives: a cross-disciplinary technical perspective rarely available within single organizations
- Practical frameworks: a stronger basis towards evaluating eco-efficiency, safety, and productivity simultaneously
- Operational reality: access to a setting that connects technical depth with real-world operational practice.
The purpose of the day
We move beyond theory to clarify the structure of the problem by:
- Making implicit assumptions visible
- Surfacing where step-change improvement is realistically achievable
- Testing alternative ways of framing design and operating choices and defining system-level interactions across disciplines
- Strengthening the quality of decisions that will define the next generation of mining operations
A powerful industry collaboration
This lab brings together two complementary forms of industry capability to ensure participants and sponsors are at the forefront of minerals development.
- CEEC contributes a system-level perspective on eco-efficient minerals development, grounded in evidence across comminution, energy, water, tailings, technology, and processing performance.
- GMG contributes experience in translating shared insight into operational practice, including guidance, and cross-industry alignment.
Together, they create a unique setting that connects technical depth, system performance, and operational reality.
The Triple Performance Mining Lab participation helps ensure your organization is a leader in the transition toward integrated, eco-efficient, safe, and productive mining. This lab is a strategic starting point; while the challenges are vast, the insights generated here will lead to further work and industry-wide influence, helping to shape the new approaches that determine how the mines of the future are designed and operated.
