Overview: Inspired by the highly successful West African Exploration Initiative (WAXI) and positive results from the first stage, the SAXI program has progressed to the next stage. The overall aim of the program is to enhance the exploration potential of North-East South America through an integrated program of research and data gathering into the “anatomy” of the Guiana Shield and neighbouring terranes. Key motivations for undertaking this initiative are to assist exploration companies in focusing their activities in areas of maximum prospectivity;…

The Amira P1369 research initiative aims to revolutionise lithium production by creating lithium product precursors from primary sources like hard rock minerals and brines followed by lithium refining and production of high purity battery-grade lithium products.  The project leverages a new extraction method that focusses on enhancing recovery rates by 20%, reducing costs and waste, and improving processing efficiency and lithium purity. This technology will also minimise environmental impact and raise the lithium industry ESG credentials by decreasing waste and…

P420 has a long and valuable history of delivering new data, technology, and knowledge to the gold mining sector over 27 years. The current iteration of the series, P420H, is supported by companies in Australasia, North America and South Africa. Where does the future lie? – P420H! This is a valuable opportunity to join Amira Global and our collaborative partners the Gold Technology Group (GTG), Curtin University to actively participate in the future of applied gold research. More details about…

Amira Global’s research project P1249 will develop new methodologies and workflows for early mineralogical characterisation of complex orebodies that can be upscaled in order to facilitate exploration for and domaining of complex orebodies. It will provide new geochemical and geological exploration tools to aid exploration for and characterisation of porphyry, epithermal, skarn, carbonate-replacement, and other types of hydrothermal ore deposits. The project is currently seeking expressions of interest from sponsors. Please contact Bright Foli at bright foli@amira.global for more information.…

The Geodynamic Inheritance & eXploration (GAXI) Project is a research initiative focused on understanding the spatial distribution and genesis of economic mineral systems along the South American Gondwana margin. The objective is to help develop future industry-relevant targets within a sophisticated exploration framework. GAXI builds on a successful pilot study in the Peruvian Andes, revealing a connection between mineral-forming processes and the localization of economic ore deposits. At its core, the GAXI Project is predicated on the concept of ancient…

The next phase of the highly successful West African Exploration Initiative (WAXI) series of projects. WAXI is assisting the development of the mining ecosystem in West Africa. Sponsors are among those building capacity for future mining exploration in the region. To date WAXI has supported 100 post graduate qualifications, held 1800 technical training days, and developed a 650GB exploration geoscience database. Stage 4 P934C builds on the approach taken in earlier stages by focusing on the mineral potential of the…

Program Overview P1262 is a three-year Amira research project aimed at improving the forecasting of seismic hazards associated with underground mining through the application of advanced numerical and probabilistic modelling methods. The project addresses current limitations in predicting the location, magnitude, and consequences of mining-induced seismic events. The research will develop spatial, probabilistic, and risk-based descriptions of seismic hazard, including the likelihood and potential size of large seismic events, their probable locations, the number of triggered events, and the resulting…

Addressing Complexity in ESG Reporting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting in the minerals industry has become increasingly complex and fragmented. Companies are required to navigate multiple frameworks, memberships, regulatory obligations, and site-level certifications — often with significant overlap. This complexity creates duplication, inefficiency, and compliance risk, particularly for junior and mid-tier companies with limited internal resources. The Amira ESG Tool: A Practical Industry Solution The Amira ESG Intelligence and Governance Tool (Amira ESG Tool) is a global-to-local, AI-enabled ESG…

Program Overview As part of the internally funded development of CollaborateOre Phase 1, Amira is currently investing in revitalisation of the Data Metallogenica (DM) collection. This project is focused on transitioning DM’s digital collection to a more accessible, interactive, data-enabled platform, whilst also undertaking significant investment in physical curation of the collection. The initiative represents the first step in evolving Data Metallogenica from a primarily visual reference into a modern, data-rich resource capable of supporting deep insights into mineral deposits…

Program Overview P1245A is a follow-on Amira research program building on outcomes from P1245 Spectral Induced Polarisation (SIP), which concluded on 11 September 2024. The original program demonstrated the strong potential of SIP for mineral exploration, particularly in identifying and distinguishing between different sulphide mineralisation types and textures. However, limitations in field data quality reduced interpretive confidence and highlighted the need for improvements in survey design, data acquisition, and interpretation. P1245A aims to address these barriers by identifying methods of…

Amira Global’s program P1372 Core Scanning Technology Evaluation aims to provide unbiased, data-backed, hype-free guidance on which core scanning tools are best for which purpose(s) and why. By running samples from a broad range of commodities and global jurisdictions through a comprehensive suite of core scanning technologies, and having the data analysed by leading, independent experts in their fields, P1372 aims to bring mining & exploration companies, core scanning service providers, academics and other industry representatives together to collectively understand…
