New knowledge, new mining: the research and technology that drives innovation

Mining is innovating rapidly - because it must. With ever increasing demand for the minerals that make modern life possible as global populations rise and urbanise, the mining industry is faced by challenges on several fronts. Minerals are increasingly difficult to find and develop in a cost effective, safe and sustainable manner. Technological advancements offer green shoots of hope for more efficient, greener, and safer mining in the coming years, but the research, developing new approaches and implementing them in practice face challenges including the need for significant investment.
