•  Remediation of affected land and water to reduce long-term social and environmental liabilities 
•  Repurposing mining site landform to enable second life use of assets, potentially commercially, or in public-private partnerships
•  Recommercialisation by reprocessing mine waste with new technologies
•  Researching new cost-effective technologies to reduce environmental impact of mining

Examples of these approaches are EQ Resources at Mt Carbine, recommercialisation of mine waste with new XRT technology.

Genex solar - pumped hydro power generation repurposing of mining site landform.

Phibion's development of its MudMaster® system for dewatering tailings storage facilities.

SoilCyclers remediation project to ameliorate soil deficits.

END-OF-MINING EXPERTISE

Through active participation, enviroMETS Qld’ collaborators build tailored solutions  for mutual benefit by focussing on, and contributing to, our go-to Expertise Steams.

ENGAGING AN INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM

An innovation ecosystem capability is derived through its unique ability to bring together and manage a wide range of capabilities across the participant groups to deliver tailored cutting-edge solutions to industry challenges. The landscape of current, prospective, and potential active participants illustrates how the innovation ecosystem can build unique collaborative relationships across six characteristic groups. 

The enviroMETS ecosystem can reach out across and beyond the mining industry offering solutions beyond the capability and scope of a single firm, or industry subgroup. The organisations shown below are representative of this ecosystem's potential.

Note: We have used industry recognised logos of organisations representative of the clustering ecosystem groups that can potentailly work together to generate new value for the sector.

BENEFITS OF ENGAGING 

enviroMETS Qld offers a single source robust solution to complex post mining land use challenges.

1. Identification and feasibility of innovative solutions for projects to improve the economic, social, and environmental value of mining affected land.
2. Superior client solutions from an open collaborative approach is beyond that possible from a single source.
3. Access to extensive knowledge and experience to solve increasingly complex mine site and industry level challenges. 
4. Multiple ecosystem perspectives to identify solutions, from within and beyond the mining industry.
5. Effective engagement with local, state and commonwealth governments and their policy drivers.
6. Global affiliations brings skills, experience, knowledge, and connections to develop solutions. 
7. Client project risk is diminished by collaborators sharing both the risk and opportunity. 
8. External investor funding can be attracted to de-risked projects.

COLLABORATIVE CAPABILITIES

Being founded on a not-for-profit innovation ecosystem model allows enviroMETS Qld to tailor our project capability as managed venture consortiums developed across our collaborator groups.enviroMETS Qld offers a single source robust solution to complex post mining land use challenges.
