Moving Technologies from Research Prototype to Production Demonstration: CRC ORE Success Stories

The Cooperative Research Center for Optimising Resource Extraction (CRC ORE) focusses on the development, demonstration and implementation of technologies aimed at improving mine productivity across the value chain, delivering step-change value. The technology focus centres around two key themes, namely Grade Engineering and the Integrated Extraction Simulator (IES). These two technologies have been successfully developed, demonstrated and implemented in a number of mining operations globally and are being further developed in Western Australia through the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Mining Innovation Hub. This presentation will highlight the CRC ORE successes to date.
