The Australian Government has announced that it will provide A $ 3.7 million to fund a new national mining research and training center, which will be called the Australian Research Council's (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Center for Complex Extraction Operations. resources ".
The Center has already received A $ 2 million in funding from various foundations and A $ 6.8 million in material support from research and industry organizations.
The ARC Advanced Resource Extraction Learning Center, led by the University of Adelaide, will be funded for four years through the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Center program.
ARC CEO Professor Sue Thomas said the ARC Training Center is being set up to train a new generation of scientists and engineers in the use of advanced technology and artificial intelligence to collect, transmit and analyze mining data to improve product quality and ensure the most efficient extraction of useful resources.
The ARC Learning and Research Center will bring together different areas of expertise.
According to Mike Brooks, Vice President of Research, University of Adelaide, the center will help the mining industry make real-time decisions and select the most cost-effective process parameters at any point in the mining value chain.
"Network connectivity and high-speed computing will provide incremental performance gains," Brooks said in a media statement.
