Unlocking Australia’s deep mineral wealth

Australia's true mineral wealth is yet to be discovered, hidden deep beneath a thick cover of unconsolidated rock and soil, sediments and igneous rocks which have been laid down over hundreds of millions of years.

Living in a material world

For many years we've relied on a model of turning raw materials into goods that will eventually end up in a landfill. This approach is both economically and environmentally unsustainable, which is why we need the research and innovations that can enable industries to prosper and unlock sustainable solutions.

At CSIRO, we solve the greatest challenges through innovative science and technology.
