CRC ORE
Optimising Resource Extraction
Improving operational value and reversing the marked trend of declining productivity.
STATE OF PLAY
OUR WORK
Since our establishment in 2010, we have made significant progress in rapidly developing and integrating technology from concept to implementation.
We use innovative methodologies to develop new technology, or repurpose existing technology, often from outside the mining industry, to significantly reduce the time from prototype to production scale application. Our progress can be demonstrated as follows:
HOW WE WORK
We are CRC ORE, the Cooperative Research Centre focused on Optimising Resource Extraction for the mining sector. We work to minimise the impact of declining grades and radically improve the productivity, energy and water signatures of mining operations. CRC ORE is jointly funded by Essential Participants - which include mining companies, METS, research organisations; and the Australian Government. The centre is a trusted, independent broker and facilitator, driving collaboration across all our activities.
