- Clean Energy Transition Inc. (GCRIF) is a Canada-based mining company focused on opportunities across the energy transition, including the exploration and development of critical minerals and high-purity quartz deposits essential for clean energy technologies. The company owns and operates the Aurora Nickel Project, a 905-hectare mining lease located 25 kilometers southeast of Timmins, Ontario, which contains an indicated and inferred mineral resource of 10.5 million tonnes grading 0.44% nickel based on a 2025 estimate, potentially supplying nickel for over 705,000 electric vehicles; the Snow White quartz project in Ontario with NI 43-101 compliant resources capable of producing silicon metal for more than 69 gigawatts of solar panels; and the Silicon Ridge (La Crête de Silicium) quartz project in Quebec, both targeting high-quality silica for solar panel manufacturing. It previously operated two limestone quarries, Johnston Farm Quarry near Bobcaygeon, Ontario, and Speiran Quarry near Orillia, Ontario, selling dimensional limestone for landscape applications, though current emphasis has shifted to energy transition minerals and materials. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the company operates primarily in Ontario and Quebec, seeking low-carbon production in nickel, quartz, and other critical minerals for batteries, electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar infrastructure. In May 2024, the company changed its name from its prior designation to Clean Energy Transition Inc., reflecting a strategic pivot toward energy transition resources, including the advancement of the 2025 Aurora Nickel resource estimate and ongoing evaluation of quartz projects for silicon metal production.
