MIRARCO Mining Innovation

The innovative research partner of choice for the mining - advancing safe, productive and sustainable practices.

Geomechanics Research Centre

Conducts geohazard assessment and risk mitigation research and engineering. Their work aims to promote safer and more economical excavations at depth.

More

Ventilation and Production Optimization

Developing the next generation of decision-support tools for mining with an emphasis on underground mine ventilation and life-of-mine schedule optimization. These two areas of research are key in maximizing the profitability of a mining operation.

More

Energy, Renewable and Carbon Management

Is dedicated to excellence in energy research for industry, public sector and community or municipal interests, with the mining Iidustry being our principal area of focus.

More

Mining Safety Research

Addresses unique issues related to safety and risk management in the mining industry: ventilation, ground control, and mining health & safety research.
