PRIF Mining Consortium 'Unlocking complex resources through lean processing'
Commendation: Innovation and collaboration, Resources sector
Copper is the leading commodity produced in South Australia.
The rapid development of the electric vehicle sector is driving copper demand, with experts predicting a three-fold increase by 2050.
The PRIF Consortium is unique in its interdisciplinary approach to optimising the entire mining value chain. In partnership with end-users and the METS sector, the researchers:
- maximise value from complex resources and minimise environmental impact
- develop innovative, effective tools to integrate each production stage
- optimise the mining process by decreasing variability and increasing certainty
- deliver data-driven models that interpret existing and new sensor information, and use machine learning to help refine models
- commercialise game-changing technological outcomes for industry partners in global markets
- provide training and upskilling of young researchers in critical areas of sensors, data analytics and AI for complex resources.
The PRIF Consortium has demonstrated how successful collaboration between academia, industry, and state agencies can be achieved, enabling pathways from good science to commercialisation and implementation.
