This is the sixth and final document by RFC Ambrian in our recent series of reports on innovation and new technology in the mining industry. In this report we attempt to capture some of the projects being implemented in the mineral exploration field, although in this area, as in some other areas, we find that much of today’s innovation is…
This is the fifth report in a series of reports that are being published by RFC Ambrian on new technology and innovation. In this report we focus on mineral processing and water treatment. We have included water treatment with mineral processing because the biggest consumer of water on any mine site is the mineral processing plant and the single biggest opportunity…
This is the fourth report in a series of reports that are being published by RFC Ambrian on new technology and innovation. In this report we focus on Ground Monitoring, Drones, and Mine Safety. These subjects have a common thread relating to the monitoring and measurement of mine operations and infrastructure efficiently, potentially autonomously, and safely. Ground monitoring now an exact…
NextOre has successfully raised $2.0 million in a private funding round primarily to ramp up manufacturing and sales of its flagship bulk ore sorting sensor system. This disruptive technology in the mining space represents a dedicated and world class development by CSIRO Minerals Resources and is the second game changing and successful partnership between CSIRO and RFC Ambrian commercialising mining…
