The College of the North Atlantic will partner with Anaconda Mining Ltd to undertake applied research on improving grade determination and control in a small gold mine. We will undertake a series of research projects to determine the best approaches, improve current methods, and develop innovative techniques to determine grade from advanced exploration through to the ore being shipped to the processing plant. This research will involve the use of the College's new state of the art Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometry (LIBS) facility. The LIBS facility is supported by both NSERC and RDC and the only one in Atlantic Canada. This is the same technology used on NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars. We are excited in using this "space age" technology to resolve real world mining issues here in the Province.

北大西洋学院将与 Anaconda Mining Ltd 合作开展应用研究，以改进小型金矿的品位确定和控制。我们将开展一系列研究项目，以确定最佳方法，改进现有方法，并开发创新技术，以确定从高级勘探到矿石运往加工厂的品位。 这项研究将涉及使用学院最新的最先进的激光诱导击穿光谱（LIBS）设备。该 LIBS 设施得到 NSERC 和 RDC 的支持，并且是加拿大大西洋地区唯一的设施。 这与美国宇航局火星好奇号探测器所使用的技术相同。我们很高兴能够利用这种“太空时代”技术来解决该省现实世界的采矿问题。
