Their technology reduces operator fatigue and enhances efficiency. Already installed in 60 percent of draglines in Australia, the company is working with global equipment manufacturers to expand adoption in hydraulic shovels.
Loop Hydrometallurgy
Loop Hydrometallurgy is commercialising the Halion Loop™, a process for producing high-purity copper on-site using saltwater-based extraction. This innovation reduces energy consumption, operating costs, and carbon footprint while enabling the processing of lower-grade and complex ores. The company is seeking investment and partnerships to advance commercialisation.
University of Adelaide - Fluorine Sensor
The University of Adelaide has developed a handheld fluorescence-based sensor for real-time fluorine contamination detection in coal. This sensor improves operational efficiency by eliminating delays from lab testing, protecting equipment, ensuring regulatory compliance, and enhancing coal marketability. Further investment and partnerships are needed for commercialisation.
University of Adelaide - MOVE Toolkit
The MOVE Toolkit, developed with BHP and IGO, provides a techno-economic analysis tool for mine electrification. It helps companies plan and optimise the adoption of electric haul trucks, charging infrastructure, and renewable energy to minimise costs and emissions while maintaining operational efficiency. The project requires further investment for commercial rollout.
Theia Simulation
Theia provides dynamic simulation modelling for mining operations, focusing on decarbonisation strategies. Their platform enables mining companies to assess fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, and renewable energy integration, helping avoid costly physical pilots. With established industry partnerships and a growing revenue stream, Theia is scaling its solution and will present proof-of-concept results at GRX25.
Stratum AI
StratumAI’s SAIGE technology uses machine learning to create highly accurate 3D models for mine planning and ore control, outperforming traditional Kriging models. It improves drilling, resource classification, and processing efficiency while reducing waste. The company seeks wider industry adoption to demonstrate its value and overcome skepticism toward AI solutions.
Metalogenia Australia
MTG has developed smart ground engaging tools (GET) for hydraulic excavators, using sensors to track wear, detect detachment, and optimise digging performance. The system improves efficiency and reduces downtime, with a fast return on investment. Adoption is challenged by competition from other digital tools and industry hesitation toward new technology.
Stimula Strategic Consulting
Stimula is working with FitWork Chile to commercialise FitIris, an AI-driven eye monitoring solution that detects cognitive impairment and fatigue in workers. Using infrared sensors and machine learning, FitIris provides real-time assessments, reducing accident risks and improving worker safety, productivity, and compliance. The solution is currently in pilot phase, with plans for expansion.
Pointerra
Pointerra3D provides a cloud-based geospatial platform for real-time data processing, analysis, and visualisation in mining. It integrates LiDAR, photogrammetry, and AI to improve exploration, stockpile management, and infrastructure monitoring. The platform eliminates data silos, speeds up decision-making, and reduces costs while enabling seamless collaboration and easy system integration.
Wulguru Technical Services
Wulguru Technical Services is a spatial and environmental consultancy supporting the resources sector. Using advanced spatial sciences and technology, the company provides mapping, land assessment, approvals, and compliance services for exploration, mining, remediation, and decarbonisation projects. They aim to showcase their capabilities to help the sector grow sustainably.
WearVue
WearVue has developed colour-changing wear indicators that provide real-time, visual assessments of equipment wear, eliminating the need for manual inspections. This technology improves safety, reduces downtime, and optimises maintenance scheduling. Currently in use at BHP, WearVue is expanding into mining, construction, and manufacturing. Future developments include AI integration for predictive maintenance, with international expansion plans underway.
Jevons Robotics
Jevons Robotics builds large, battery-electric autonomous robots to improve safety and productivity in mining. Their ARTEV6000 removes workers from hazardous blast zones while automating loading tasks. It reduces diesel use, enhances safety, and supports round-the-clock operation. With successful trials underway, the company is now focused on scaling through increased industry awareness.
Nomad Atomics
Nomad Atomics is developing compact, drift-free quantum gravimeters that offer precise, absolute gravity measurements for exploration and underground mine monitoring. Their technology eliminates the calibration and drift issues of traditional gravimeters, reducing field time and improving data quality. Currently working with mining partners, Nomad is seeking further trials to support commercial rollout.
Kurloo Technology
Kurloo provides autonomous, high-precision GNSS-based ground displacement monitoring for mining and infrastructure. Its solar-powered sensors deliver near real-time, millimetre-accurate data, supporting early risk detection for slopes, dams, and rehabilitation sites. Easy to deploy and scalable, Kurloo enables proactive decision-making, supports AI integration, and reduces the need for manual inspections in hazardous areas.
CMS Asia Pacific
CMS Asia Pacific has developed a durable, high-speed electrical connector for downhole instruments, designed to be easily installed, recovered, and reused. The product reduces downtime, enhances safety, and boosts data transmission rates. Made with recycled materials and already approved for market, it will be soft-launched at GRX ahead of full release in mid-2025.
Elementa
Elementa is a mining education company behind platforms like Edumine and Careermine. Its latest innovation, Edumine Answers, is an AI-powered tool that delivers instant, role-specific learning to mining professionals. Designed for on-the-job upskilling, it simplifies complex topics through interactive formats and supports faster, more accessible knowledge transfer across the industry.
