Since ancient times, minerals have played a central role in human civilization and remain critically important for our future: gaining deeper insights into minerals is essential for building a sustainable and thriving tomorrow. Experts at Camborne School of Mines' Minerals Engineering team concentrate on enhancing mineral recovery and recycling secondary materials, investigating processing characteristics, extraction methods including physical separation and bioleaching, monitoring and control systems, along with computational modeling. A crucial aspect of this work is geometallurgy, an approach that connects mineral deposits' geological features, formation processes, and distribution with mining operations by analyzing and quantifying critical characteristics.
