#DisruptMining Finals Presentation
Finals of Goldcorp's annual innovation contest where mining technology disruptors compete for up to $1M investment in a shark-tank format presentation during PDAC. The competition showcases breakthrough solutions addressing cost reduction, production enhancement, and environmental challenges.
The #DisruptMining finals represent the culmination of Goldcorp's annual search for quantum-leap innovations in mining technology. Held during the prestigious Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference, this event brings together the most promising mining technology disruptors to present their solutions in a high-stakes, shark-tank format before senior mining executives and decision-makers. The competition is specifically designed to identify breakthrough technologies that can achieve Goldcorp's ambitious 20/20/20 strategy goals of increasing production, decreasing operating costs, and increasing reserves by 20% each. Finalists gain unprecedented access to industry titans and the opportunity to secure up to $1 million in development funding, along with the chance to pilot their innovations in real-world mining scenarios. The event serves as both a showcase of cutting-edge mining technology and a platform for accelerating the adoption of disruptive solutions that might otherwise struggle to gain traction with traditional mining executives. Previous winners like Acoustic Zoom have demonstrated the program's effectiveness, with their reserve analysis technology now being deployed with Goldcorp's backing and minority ownership stake.
