- Additional information
- The paper is a key output from two consortium projects: 'Cobalt: the roles of Geology, Geomicrobiology and Geometallurgy (CoG3)' (ref: NE/M011372/1) and 'SoS RARE' (ref: NE/ M011429/1), supported by combined NERC funding of around £5M. The described research focusses on a technique to promote sustainable extraction by uprating resource models with environmental information. The research is being commercialised by Minviro, a start-up company incorporated in March 2019. Minviro has since grown to 4 FTEs, received funding from Innovate UK and EIT Raw Materials, and secured collaboration with global mining companies and service providers to further commercialise the research.
