In September 2024, Wheaton Precious Metals launched its inaugural Future of Mining Challenge, an initiative that seeks to support the mining industry to continue to deliver essential commodities and materials in a more sustainable manner.
The Future of Mining Challenge invites cleantech companies from around the world to propose cleantech solutions to enhance efficiency and reduce the mining industry’s environmental footprint.
This year's challenge focuses on identifying eligible technologies with the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon intensity at base and precious metals mines. Solutions should be scalable globally, with the aim of future implementation at operating mines. In March 2025, Wheaton Precious Metals will award US$1M to the winner of the challenge to help advance their technology.
