Sudbury, ON. NORCAT is excited to announce the highly anticipated return of Mining Transformed, the world’s only technology exhibition taking place in an active underground mine —happening for the third time from May 25–27, 2026, at the NORCAT Underground Centre in Sudbury, Ontario.
This hands-on exhibition is carefully curated to foster meaningful connections between those demonstrating the next generation of mining technologies and the companies seeking to procure, adopt, and deploy them. By connecting the buyers and builders, NORCAT aims to accelerate technology awareness, innovation adoption, and strategic partnerships and collaboration opportunities.
Over three action-packed days, attendees will witness live demonstrations of emerging technologies poised to transform the global mining industry.
"Mining Transformed is a unique technology exhibition designed to connect and broker relationships between technology companies (the "builders" of innovation) and global mining companies (the "buyers" of innovation) with the goal of expediting technology adoption and broader diffusion in one of the world’s most important industries" cites Don Duval, CEO of NORCAT. "We are excited to once again leverage our unique ecosystem and validate our role as the global "one-stop shop" for all that is the future of mining technology and innovation."
