MRIWA portfolio overview – Infrastructure & Logistics and Remediation & Mine Closure
View current projects in the two program areas – Infrastructure & Logistics and Remediation & Mine Closure
These programs are two new areas added to the MRIWA Research Priority Plan in 2019.
Research activity within the MRIWA’s research priority program area Infrastructure & Logistics seeks to optimise supply chain infrastructure by enabling enhanced networks and accurate geo-positioning and decrease the capital and operating costs associated with getting commodities to market.
While the Remediation & Mine Closure program aims to develop new technologies and approaches for mine remediation and alternative land use, while filling knowledge gaps to ensure a sustainable positive legacy for the industry and surrounding communities.
As at 30 June 2020, the investment in these two programs is comprised of:
- MRIWA contribution $0.5m
- Third-party contribution $0.8m
- Total grant value $1.3m
