Accurassay Laboratories is receiving $1 million to invest in their automation system.
The money from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund will be used to purchase a new crusher for the mineral analysis company.
President Rob Duncan says this is a huge step to becoming fully automated.
“We’re really excited about what it means, not just for the process today but for the process in the future,” Duncan told CKPR Radio.
“Crushing is the first step of our process, and so we are really excited for the opportunity this gives us to automate our entire process.”
Duncan added that this is the first system of its kind in the America's and will put the Thunder Bay lab on the map.
