Objectives
This page presents all XTRACT project's objectives
Automation of mineral prospecting and extraction in a complex mining context
Ιntroduction of the novel concept of “precision mining” for the selective recovery of valuable metals from low-grade minerals and mine wastes
Scaling and deployment of remote sensing systems and analytical resources to allow the systematic and remote monitoring of “hard-to-access” mining sites and waste deposits
Enhancement and deployment of an open standards-based, trusted and certified digital repository, supporting data interoperability and enhancement of industrial symbiosis in the mineral recovery supply chain, fostering the transformation towards sustainable mining
Evaluation of different mine sites and waste disposals. Demonstration of the feasibility (evidence-supported) of innovative technological solution supporting a green transition to the sustainable mining
Organisation and facilitation of the uptake, replication and upscaling of the technological solutions developed by XTRACT
Planning and facilitation of the exploitation of project results
Communication and dissemination of the project’s scientific and technical results – Outreach to other R&D initiatives, end-users’ communities and the global mining environment for knowledge transfer and Market development through liaison and training activities
