Research and Projects

JKMRC undertakes projects for its global sponsors, involving applied research in geometallurgy and mineral processing.  Built on the principle of the ‘the plant is our laboratory’, the JKMRC has evolved research methodologies built from laboratory studies, mathematical modelling and plant data.  This leads to realistic and robust research outcomes for use by the minerals industry. Associated with these research efforts are numerous success stories of significant improvements in plant performance for sponsor companies.
