The Triple Performance Mining Lab

Mining projects are now expected to deliver outcomes that were once treated as competing priorities: stronger productivity and lower costs alongside materially improved performance in energy, water, emissions, tailings, and safety.

Achieving this “Triple Performance” is not primarily a technology question. It is a question of how decisions are framed and made — particularly in the early design, integration, and operating strategy stages where long-term performance is largely determined.

The Triple Performance Mining Lab is a focused working environment designed for leaders and specialists to examine these high-stakes decisions directly.

Participants from across mine design, processing, operations, energy, water, tailings, and technology will collaborate on real-world challenges. This lab provides the setting to explore how eco-efficiency, safety, and productivity can be delivered together rather than sequentially or as a trade-off. The environment is intentionally practical, exploratory, and creative, enabling an open examination of assumptions, and system-level interactions across disciplines.

This lab is designed to provide immediate value for your current and future projects. Participants leave with:

• Clearer insight: better-informed direction that can be carried into active projects, studies, and operating environments.

• Exclusive perspectives: a cross-disciplinary technical perspective rarely available within single organizations

• Practical frameworks: a stronger basis towards evaluating eco-efficiency, safety, and productivity simultaneously

• Operational reality: access to a setting that connects technical depth with real-world operational practice.

We move beyond theory to clarify the structure of the problem by:

• Making implicit assumptions visible

• Surfacing where step-change improvement is realistically achievable

• Testing alternative ways of framing design and operating choices and defining system-level interactions across disciplines

• Strengthening the quality of decisions that will define the next generation of mining operations

This lab brings together two complementary forms of industry capability to ensure participants and sponsors are at the forefront of minerals development.

• CEEC contributes a system-level perspective on eco-efficient minerals development, grounded in evidence across comminution, energy, water, tailings, technology, and processing performance.

• GMG contributes experience in translating shared insight into operational practice, including guidance, and cross-industry alignment.

Together, they create a unique setting that connects technical depth, system performance, and operational reality.

The Triple Performance Mining Lab participation helps ensure your organization is a leader in the transition toward integrated, eco-efficient, safe, and productive mining. This lab is a strategic starting point; while the challenges are vast, the insights generated here will lead to further work and industry-wide influence, helping to shape the new approaches that determine how the mines of the future are designed and operated.
