MIRARCO CEO Dr. Nadia Mykyctzuk discusses biomining technology at BEV In-Depth Conference 2022

The “BEV In-Depth: Mines to Mobility” conference was a two day event held at Science North’s Vale Cavern from May 25-26. It was a first-of-its-kind gathering, bringing together stakeholders from both Northern and Southern Ontario who share a commitment to realizing the promise of a fully integrated battery electric supply chain in Ontario and across Canada. The event featured industry leaders from a number of sectors, including mining supply and services, automotive, battery technology, ransportation, green energy, and investment groups.
