Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

NeuraNetworks, Unified Communications Networks for mining operations

Agreement Number:

1008948

Duration: from Aug 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024
Description:

Neural networks are a branch of machine learning that draws inspiration from the functioning of the human brain. These networks consist of interconnected nodes, called Neurons, that work together to process and analyze complex patterns and data. Neural networks have found applications in various industries, and mining is no exception.

Our proposed NeuraNetworks ( NeuraNET) applications for mining operations is the next level in our innovation’s roadmap for mining. Integrated with our AI based infrastructure for mining and tunnelling operations, NeuraCOM, this innovation will introduce another breakthrough in mining technologies to enhance the safety in the mines and optimizing their productivities.

NeuraCom Regulatory and Compliance Certification Program

Agreement Number:

994451

Duration: from Aug 1, 2022 to Dec 31, 2022
Description:

Across the world, there are number of regulations and requirements in the mining industry which dictate how products are designed, developed, certified and manufactured in order to be allowed , installed and operate in the mines.

In this project we will conduct a comprehensive investigations and research to identify the relevant regulations and compliance standards required in our mining industry. Further, we will perform complete analyses to identify the requirements of modifying our current technologies, NeuraCom system, for compliance with these regulations and standards. A comprehensive plan and strategy report will be developed as road map for our technology Regulatory and Compliance Certification Program.
