ledge base of the situation, then act to correct a deficiency or exploit an opportunity. Therefore research at MIRG (Mine Intelligence Research Group) involves information engineering (database design), data mining, business process improvement, mining engineering, and change management. MIRG has become the only research laboratory in the mining industry focused on information technology and its applied use in mining. The teams of highly experienced researchers develop and implement products into mines and have even patented research output. MIRG has undertaken contract research (both consulting and product development) for mining companies and government agencies, as well as undertaken complex multi-year research initiatives for some of the largest multi-national mining companies in both hard and soft-rock, as well as both surface and underground. MIRG's team members have deep work and consulting experience in both the technical and project management aspects of mine automation. Dr. Sean Dessureault is the founder and current director of MIRG.
