Developed by Science North and the Canadian Institute for Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum, Mine Evolution lets players find, build, operate and close down their own mine
The Sudbury developers of a new mining-based video game hope to win over young people with the story of mining, new technology and teaching people that mining can be done in an environmentally safe way. The game is called Mine Evolution and is a collaboration between Science North and the Canadian Institute for Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum .
Samantha Espley, the chair of the CIM–Science North joint venture project, said once the students download the new app, they would discover the reality of Canadian mining. "The second value is that we need to protect our planet …. And we need to do that as environmental stewards,” Espley said. “So trying to shrink the footprint as much as possible when we operate our mines and our plants. And when we're done, and we close the facilities, we bring it back to its natural state."
The game itself features 3D animation showing a mine at work. Players are invited to create a mine in any part of Canada, how to search for minerals, choose options of how to provide energy to the mine as well as options for financing and environmental choices. Points are awarded for making good choices. The app also features a series of "mini-games" or challenges for the player.
