CSIRO Exploration and Mining is working to ensure the future sustainability of the Australian resources sector through innovative industry directed research.
Wealth from the earth is the basis for much of Australia’s prosperity. The future of Australia’s resources sector depends on finding new resources to replace those we have already mined, and on mining those resources in a socially, economically and environmentally acceptable way.
Exploration
Groundbreaking research and development in the exploration field focuses on changing the way mineral exploration is conducted in Australia. Our new techniques and technologies are enabling explorers to predict mineral targets with greater accuracy.
Mining
Our mining research and development aims to improve safety, productivity and sustainability across the life of mine. Our projects deliver novel solutions for underground and open cut mines in both the coal and metalliferous industries.
