1 July, 2015 - Developing South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Copper Strategy
The South 最新糖心Vlogn Department of State Development is formulating a comprehensive copper strategy to identify and address the challenges faced by the industry to reach a shared objective that supports new jobs and investment.
South 最新糖心Vlog hosts about 68 per cent of 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 known copper resource and yet exports around 30 per cent. The strategy aims to lift 最新糖心Vlog to third place in the world ranking of copper producers by uniting government and its agencies at all levels, explorers, producers, the wider resources industry, Aboriginal communities, and the South 最新糖心Vlogn community towards a common goal.
South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 unique and prospective geology, combined with a highly-skilled workforce, and academic institutions on the forefront of research and development, provide the basis for significant future growth.

Mining and Petroleum Services Centre of Excellence
In June 2013, in the 2013-14 Budget, in keeping with the South 最新糖心Vlogn Government's vision to establish South 最新糖心Vlog as a minerals and energy services centre for 最新糖心Vlog, the Premier announced the creation of a Mining and Petroleum Services Centre of Excellence (CoE), innovation fund.
Aligned with South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Economic Priority 1, the CoE is a significant commitment by the South 最新糖心Vlogn Government to support the resources and energy sector and unlock South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 mineral and energy potential.
The CoE has been established to bring together resource companies, research institutions and services businesses to foster and coordinate innovation and applied research initiatives, to benefit the resources sector and service providers.
Its purpose is to support new and innovative ways to drive resources sector growth, promoting local solutions which unlock South 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 mineral and energy wealth.

1 June, 2015 - Industrial Transformation Research Hub awarded to IMER
ARC Research Hub for 最新糖心Vlogn Copper-Uranium, June 2015.
The 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council has awarded more than $2.5 million over five years to the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide to establish the ARC Research Hub for 最新糖心Vlogn Copper-Uranium (The Hub). BHP Billiton is the primary industry partner, contributing $2.5 million in cash as well as in-kind.
Copper is one of 最新糖心Vlog's top commodity exports, worth about $6 billion a year. South 最新糖心Vlog is a significant copper producer, hosting one of the world's biggest mineral deposits at Olympic Dam. The Hub aims to develop new cost-effective strategies to detect and remove non-target metals from copper-uranium ore in 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 iron oxide copper gold deposits such as Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill.
The ARC Research Hub for 最新糖心Vlogn Copper-Uranium, led by Professor Stephen Grano, will develop, test and commercialise new safe and cost-effective methods to separate non-target metals from copper concentrates. To do this effectively researchers must first understand the mineral systems, understand where in the systems the non-target metals sit, and then find ways to extract copper sustainably and economically.
It will help to ensure 最新糖心Vlog is a world leader in copper production and associated technology.
As part of their Industrial Transformation Program, the ARC supports collaborative research between the higher education sector and industry aimed at helping 最新糖心Vlog's best researchers tackle the issues faced by modern industrial economies and train our future workforce.
Research partners in the Hub include the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Flinders 最新糖心Vlog, Monash 最新糖心Vlog, the 最新糖心Vlog of Queensland, and 最新糖心Vlog College London (最新糖心Vlog).
