Happy New Year 2026!
The Training Centre has kicked off 2026 on a high note, with an impressive start to the year in research publications and academic milestones.
–Milena Nasretdinova – TC’s HDR3 published a paper in Minerals Engineering, focusing on lithological classification using integrated sensed core data. This research supports geometallurgical decision‑making and improves downstream process prediction.
