Providing Research Grants for All Mining…
Overview
A priority for the Foundation is to make the results of the research efforts broadly available so that the solutions derived from the studies can be implemented by the mining industry or used by other researchers and practitioners to further advance these research agendas.
The outputs from funded projects, including final project reports as well as related publications and presentations, are provided here.
