Abstract
In March of 2020, the mining community along with the rest of the world and its industries was met with an unprecedented challenge of a novel coronavirus. The mining supply chain needed to immediately address how it would handle the new regulations and restrictions which were instituted by governments and corporate offices. In this presentation, we will briefly cover four projects in various stages along the mining process and how a small mining supplier in Ontario, or our customers, were able to use technology and innovation to meet some of those challenges. We will look at two customers in North America, one in South America, and one in Asia. The projects range from fully installed to the procurement stage prior to construction.
