What happened
The Minister of Industry announced federal support totaling $6.7 million for two Canadian-led mining innovation projects, valued at $19.8 million. These projects, led by Novamera Inc. of Oakville, Ontario, and Koonkie Canada Inc. of Vancouver, British Columbia, aim to advance critical minerals extraction. Separately, Frontier Lithium Inc. received up to $2.3 million from Natural Resources Canada to advance by-product valorization at the Pak Lithium Project in Northwestern Ontario.
Why it matters
The investments support strengthening Canada's critical minerals supply chains and accelerating the adoption of Canadian technologies for responsible resource development. This funding helps move innovative solutions from development to real-world deployment, creating opportunities for Canadian companies to commercialize and scale their technologies.
