This 45-minute tour allows you exclusive, guided access of the NORCAT Underground Centre, the only underground, operating mine designed specifically for startups, SMEs and multinational corporations to test, demo and showcase their technologies in a real mine environment.
The Underground Centre has become the global destination to see the emerging technologies that are poised to transform the mining industry and, in doing so, has helped build and support Canada’s global reputation as a market leader in the mining industry.
