Mineral Processing Framework
Amira Global’s Mineral Processing Framework is a coordinated platform designed to guide, connect, and accelerate innovation across the global mineral processing landscape. It identifies current and future challenges and opportunities, supporting interdependent, cross-collaborative R&D that fuels mutual knowledge growth and delivers measurable industry value.
By aligning researchers, industry leaders, governments, and funding bodies, the framework defragments research efforts to promote complementary and supplementary development. It also strengthens Amira’s standing as a leader in mineral processing innovation on the global stage.
Internally, the framework enables Amira to develop targeted programs that respond to member feedback and industry needs—especially those offering short- to medium-term value enhancement. It leverages key Amira resources such as the Pan-African Decarbonisation Institute (P-ADI) and the Centres of Excellence (CoE) to enhance existing and emerging projects.
The framework fosters operational efficiency, aligns the mineral processing portfolio with related areas including Mining, Geoscience, and Big Data, and provides clear direction to focus efforts on productivity, collaboration, and impact.
