Minerals have been at the heart of society since prehistoric times and will continue to be of vital importance moving forward: better understanding of minerals is key to a sustainable and prosperous future. Researchers at Camborne School of Mines in the ‘Minerals Engineering’ group focus on optimising the extraction of minerals and secondary material resources, through research into processing properties, extraction potential via physical separation and bioleaching, measurement and process control tools, and mathematical modelling and simulation. Of vital importance in this field is geometallurgy, a framework that links the geological structure, formation and location of minerals to mining and extraction through the identification, sampling and measurement of key parameters.
