Innovation & Development

Research

Advancing mining science through rigorous research in resource estimation, geotechnical analysis, environmental modelling, and blast engineering.

Research Areas

Our research spans five critical domains that drive innovation and excellence in mining engineering and environmental science.

Resource Estimation

Advanced resource estimation techniques using geological modelling, geostatistical analysis, and industry-standard software to deliver accurate and reliable mineral resource estimates compliant with international reporting codes.

Mine Planning & Design

Comprehensive mine planning and design services from conceptual studies through to detailed mine designs, incorporating pit optimisation, production scheduling, and economic evaluation.

Geotechnical Studies

Detailed geotechnical investigations and analyses to assess ground conditions, slope stability, and foundation design for safe and efficient mining operations.

Environmental Assessment & Impact Prediction Modelling

Environmental baseline studies, impact prediction modelling, and assessment services to evaluate and mitigate the environmental effects of mining and industrial activities.

Blast Optimisation & Impact Prediction Modelling

Specialised blast optimisation studies and impact prediction modelling to improve fragmentation, reduce vibration and flyrock, and minimise environmental impacts of blasting operations.
