CRC ORE is transforming the minerals sector by developing and deploying innovative world-class technology to effect a step change in value across the whole-of-mine system. Our research is focussed on extracting more value through optimising all elements of the mining process and extracting value-chain efficiencies. New technologies are assessed live on mine sites and then transferred back to the industry.

One of CRC ORE's headline solutions is Grade Engineering®, which is focused on extracting metal more efficiently by separating ore from waste before it enters comminution. Early physical rejection of non valuable material through pre-concentration techniques before processing, decreases processing costs and importantly can significantly increase the life of a mine.

Another major CRC ORE breakthrough technology is the powerful Integrated Extraction Simulator (IES) - a whole-of-mine optimisation simulator. It is the next generation of fast, reliable and accurate simulation of the entire mining process - from the mine to the mill.

The Kalgoorlie-Boulder Mining Innovation Hub is a major new collaborative venture to harness the development and deployment of new mining technology to unlock significant additional value for Mining, METS companies, Researchers and the broader community in the region.
