Impact.

Harnessing the Collaborative Intelligence of the copper industry, this platform aggregates knowledge, accelerates innovation, sustainability and enables the global resources industry of the future.

Whole industry collaboration

CopperConnect is an industry-wide collaboration to unlock innovation and advance responsible practices in the mining industry, with the inclusion of the public and community sectors. We enable organisations to share resources and overcome the currently dispersed and fragmented research, development, innovation and implementation challenges that are beyond any single organisation's scope.

The Platform

This Collaborative Impact Platform is a partnership between the International Copper Association Australia and other Industry members. The prototype is searchable by our members and stakeholders across the public, research, mining technology and community sectors. It is a platform for those interested in best practices and innovation in the global resources sector. Delivering reliable information to help the industry make sense in a world where complex forces are driving transformational change across the mining value chain. Information is shared under the FAIR principles of scientific data management to accelerate and amplify the impact of research and development. Knowledge is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.

Connected Knowledge

The central repository aggregates knowledge and provide insights into technology and emerging research on key industry challenges. Initially, the platform hosts ICAA research, and the CRC Ore Grade Engineering Practitioners Guide e-book. With this platform the future of mining moves a step closer.

Innovation Pathways

Innovation pathways accelerate discovery, planning, and implementation to support informed industry decisions. Find new solutions available today, emerging technologies for tomorrow, and next-generation innovations for operations of the future.

Meaningful Impact

Key measures of success include accelerated research; innovation uptake; informed industry decision-making and planning; and community acceptance. The CopperConnect platform also enables zero-emission mining using the Roadmap to Zero that includes the framework established by ICAA research. Revealing the potential impact of innovations to Sustainable Development Goals.

CopperConnect is a platform we are roadmapping together.
We invite contributions and expertise from the wider community.
