TerraCore Labs
Research that will mine the next century.
Twelve active research programs across four themes: decarbonisation, autonomy, exploration, and rehabilitation.
Active programs
Decarbonisation
Hydrogen-fuel blasting agents
Partnership with CSIRO. Pilot at Pilbara West targeting 34% blast-emissions reduction.
Autonomy
Level-5 underground haulage
Fully driverless underground loaders in trial at Karratha Deep, sub-level 12.
Exploration
Deep-earth AI targeting
Convolutional models applied to 4.2M line-km of legacy geophysics. 3 new porphyry targets identified.
Rehabilitation
Accelerated ecosystem return
Native-seed drones and biological soil amendments. 1,840 ha reclaimed on 6-year cycle.
