Transforming resource extraction and its evaluation.

CRC ORE is transforming resource extraction and the way it is evaluated by developing innovative techniques to upgrade ore between mining and concentration.

Through a systems approach encompassing orebody characterisation, metallurgical process design and life-of-mine project evaluation, these technologies have the potential to dramatically reduce water and energy consumption while ensuring the viability of mines beyond high commodity prices.

Research Overview	News	Integrated Case Studies
CRC ORE's three program research portfolio investigates ore body characterisation, extraction and evaluation to combat inefficiencies in all stages of the mining process, resulting in major savings to both industry and the environment. Analysing each step in the process from a whole-of-mine perspective enables optimisations that have a significant cumulative impact on the operation's efficiency. Read more...	CRC ORE Phase 2 As the Centre approaches the half-way mark of its initial term, CRC ORE activities are moving focus toward developing and delivering technologies to transform resource extraction and the way it’s evaluated. Read more...	Site based case studies play a major role in validating CRC ORE research and putting new technologies in the hands of industry end-users. These studies enable researchers to dramatically demonstrate the impact new methods and technologies will have on mining, transforming the mineral industry's approach to evaluation and extraction of mineral deposits.
