OPTIMISING RESOURCE EXTRACTION

“ We must find better ways of extracting value that requires less water and energy . We need to generate lower volumes of much coarser waste by-products , which we can dry stack and recover all the water from . Ultimately , these will be cheaper processes , which will actually produce more metal ”
— Dr . Ben Adair , CEO , CRC ORE
“ We are seen as independent , trusted advisors by the Mining companies , to the point that we are now often used to manage their site-based gangue rejection strategies on their behalf .”
OPTIMISING RESOURCE EXTRACTION
Dr Adair explains that CRC ORE ’ s commitment to optimising resource extraction ( ORE ) is underpinned by two suites of technologies : Grade Engineering ® and the Integrated Extraction Simulator ( IES ). The former focuses on extracting metal more efficiently by separating ore from waste before it enters comminution . The latter is a cloud-based simulation and optimisation platform across the mine to mill value chain . Grade Engineering therefore involves the implementation of practical gangue rejection technologies at production scale on sites .
