BC-based Mining Technology Company Moves Head Office to Vancouver
Vancouver, BC, June 16, 2014--(T-Net)--MineSense™ Technologies Ltd., an early stage technology company which develops and markets sensor based ore recovery and extraction solutions for the mining industry, announced that it has recently moved their Head Office from the North Shore to Vancouver.
MineSense has moved from a 2,000 square foot head office in North Vancouver to the new 20,000 square foot location, which houses a combined office, manufacturing and laboratory space near Ontario Street and Marine Drive in Zone 1 Vancouver.
Says MineSense CEO, Dr. Andrew Bamber, “While we enjoyed our incubation period in North Vancouver, that location was suboptimal for the company for a number of reasons. Moving to Vancouver has given us access to more space with better infrastructure, logistics at lower cost, and excellent connections both to downtown and the airport. Our ability to attract and retain top quality people is greatly enhanced at the new location.”
Bamber adds that “MineSense is ideally positioned to capitalize on trends in the mining industry, as customer-funded studies demonstrate that the value creation potential of the MineSense product suites, such as ShovelSense and SortOre, is in the Billions of Dollars. Customer-funded activity runs the gamut from sampling and feasibility studies through field pilots and product trials. We will continue to expand this activity over the next year to aim for full commercialization of the MineSense Solution at an industrial scale in 2016.”
According to John McPherson, Sector Development Manager with the Vancouver Economic Commission, “the relocation of Minesense to Vancouver adds jobs to the emerging ‘green mining' cluster in Vancouver; green mining means finding innovative ways to minimize waste, increase efficiency, and leave behind rehabilitated, healthy ecosystems from mining operations. A greater appetite for innovation in traditional risk-averse resource industries will only continue, and we are pleased Minesense has chosen Vancouver as its new home”.
