Our Difference
As an independent and non‑for‑profit, all revenue is reinvested into research, capability development, and technology commercialisation. This allows us to focus on long‑term industry needs rather than short‑term returns, and to invest in innovation where there is no immediate commercial outcome
Our founding and continuing motivation is to bridge the gap between research and practical industry solutions, ensuring innovation translates into measurable, real‑world outcomes.
Through sustained engagement with universities, suppliers, startups, and industry partners, Mining3 helps nurture a mining innovation ecosystem that multiplies the impact of global investment in Australia. Our support for interns, PhD students, collaborative research programs, and industry‑academic partnerships strengthens skills development and reinforces Australia’s leadership in mining technology.
Our independent, not‑for‑profit status further allows us to convene competitors and suppliers through industry consortia such as Cave Mining 2040, which is addressing shared challenges in large‑scale underground mining.
Your Trusted Advisory
As a trusted advisor to the mining industry, Mining3 provides independent expertise and a collaborative approach that helps organisations navigate complex challenges and emerging opportunities. Our strong relationships across industry, research, government and global networks enable us to connect people, knowledge and technology to drive informed decision-making and practical innovation.
Apply to Our Internship Program
Mining3 is committed to supporting the next generation of mining and engineering professionals through a range of student engagement opportunities. We partner with The University of Queensland’s Bachelor of Engineering/Master of Engineering (BE/ME) Industry Placement Program, offer internships for undergraduate students, and support research through relevant PhD programs. By providing hands-on experience, we give students the opportunity to gain insight into the mining industry, understand the complex challenges it is working to address and see how innovation can contribute to a safer, more sustainable and productive future. Our goal is to inspire talented students to explore rewarding careers in the resources sector and to help build the skills and expertise the industry will need in the years ahead.
