CRC ORE’s Grade Engineering: focusing on extracting metal more efficiently by separating ore from waste before it enters comminution
There is a perception that mining low grade ore is an unavoidable consequence of ore deposit geology and mass mining. The energy cost and capital of used in the typically ‘Crush-Grind-Float’ method for low-grade deposits versus the output of minerals can drive poor productivity in a company. CRC ORE’s technology ‘Grade Engineering®’ seeks to address this issue by focusing on extracting the metal more efficiently by separating the ore from the waste as early as possible. The CRC ORE report on Grade Engineering and its different applications can be located here. CRC ORE General Manager - Implementation Luke Keeney will be presenting on outcomes achieved to date from Grade...

Diesel emissions research now available
The results of two research projects into nano diesel particulate matter (nDPM) were outlined at a free information session hosted by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety on 29 July. The MIAC media release can be located here. In 2016, the Mining Industry Advisory Committee (MIAC) commissioned the research projects into the physical-chemical properties of nDPM in an underground mine and the potential health effects on workers from exposure. The DMIRS and the Mineral Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA) co-funded the first research project which focussed on evaluating the physical-chemical aspects of DEE. The research report can be located here. DMIRS...
