Mica, a shimmering, heat resistant mineral used in everything from car paint to make-up, is in large-part produced by artisanal miners in India and Madagascar, where child labour and unsafe conditions are rife. Heidi Vellafinds out what …
Mica is a major industrial raw material for the semiconductor industry. The most used stones are muscovite and phlogopite. Phlogopite mica is mined at the Kovdor deposit. Mica is a common …
MICA is positioning itself as a conduit to take late-stage developed mining-related technologies, and technologies from other industries that have mining applications, to a place where they can be integrated into the mining …
MICA is a National ecosystem initiative designed to modernize mining and improve its productivity and environmental performance, strengthen the Canadian mineral supply chain, and increase the domestic and export sales of Canadian innovators.
Mica mining employs both open-pit and underground techniques. Open-pit mining involves removing layers of earth to access minerals near the surface. This method is efficient but can drastically alter the landscape. …
Mica is the name for a group of different minerals that form in distinct layers. The commodity is particularly coveted for its heat resistant and highly reflective properties and can be found in everything from paints to soil conditioners to make-up and smartphones. The mineral is …

MICA is a $112.4 million pan-Canadian initiative bringing together stakeholders from a wide range of fields to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative technologies to make the mining sector more productive and sustainable.
Sustainable mica sourcing reduces the environmental impact of mining, conserving resources, and supporting ecosystem preservation. By using eco-friendly mining techniques, companies can contribute to broader conservation goals, enhancing their corporate social responsibility efforts.
MICA stands to be the definitive globally relevant one-stop-shop for accessing emerging technologies spanning the entire mining cycle. What specific initiatives or programmes can MICA implement to effectively connect …

Mica, a shimmering, heat resistant mineral used in everything from car paint to make-up, is in large-part produced by artisanal miners in India and Madagascar, where child labour and unsafe conditions are rife. We find out what can be done to rid the commodity of its unethical origins.
Mica mining can be done in two ways: open-pit or underground. Open-pit mining, generally more environmentally disruptive, involves stripping large surfaces to reveal mica deposits. In contrast, underground mining, though less invasive, presents challenges in terms of safety and extraction efficiency.
Mica is a major industrial raw material for the semiconductor industry. The most used stones are muscovite and phlogopite. Phlogopite mica is mined at the Kovdor deposit. Mica is a common mineral located in the earth's crust. Its content ranges from 2-4% of the total volume of rocks.
