Academic, industry and government representatives recently came together for a seminar exploring the capabilities enabled by Curtin’s John de Laeter Centre (JdLC), one of the world’s leading hubs for advanced geoscience characterisation.

The session highlighted how the JdLC’s cutting-edge tools and expert researchers are helping drive innovation across the mineral value chain – from exploration to processing and product development. Curtin specialists shared emerging techniques and applications, opening the door to new opportunities to unlock mineral potential.

A big thank you to the Curtin staff who helped bring this event to life and showcase the impressive capability of the JdLC.
