A big thank you to the PRIF Mining Consortium for involving the TC and Tatiana Khmeleva (PRIF Manager) and Nigel Cook (PRIF Director) for organising the event. The PRIF Mining Consortium has proven to be successful scientifically, and demonstrated how government, industry and investigators from the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia can work effectively together towards shared research and commercialisation goals.
