A new collaborative research program will formally integrate geoscientific and metallurgical expertise from across the Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) to maximise operational performance across the mining value chain.

‘High voltage’ mineral processing technology with the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and help the mining industry decarbonise is one step closer thanks to funding from the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer. 

Queensland's emerging critical minerals industry has received a boost with the conceptual launch of a state-of-the-art processing plant designed by researchers from the Sustainable Minerals Institute. 

International interest in JKMRC soft sensors is rising as operators seek options for improving process insight and control without the technological risk.

Emeritus Professor Don McKee reflects on the contributions of Professor TC Rao, Dr Geoff Lyman and Honorary Professor Gideon Chitombo.
