Wheaton Precious Metals ( (TSE:WPM) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Wheaton Precious Metals has launched its third annual US$1 million Future of Mining Challenge, targeting cleantech ventures that can optimize mining operations and reduce land impacts. The 2026/2027 edition focuses on technologies that improve orebody knowledge or extraction methods, underscoring the company’s push to enhance efficiency and cut environmental footprints.
Expressions of interest are open globally until late August 2026, with selected ventures invited to submit full applications in September and a winner to be named at the PDAC Convention in March 2027. Working with the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business and building on last year’s water-focused award to Cetos Water, Wheaton is positioning itself as a strategic backer of early-stage innovations that could reshape mining sustainability and operational performance.
