CSIRO commences MR technology research
Initially aimed at detecting explosives for national security applications — the genesis of what would become two decades of breakthrough science.
Timeline
Initially aimed at detecting explosives for national security applications — the genesis of what would become two decades of breakthrough science.
A pivotal proof point: magnetic resonance technology could characterise ore mineralogy — laying the foundation for bulk ore sorting.
Spinout from CSIRO to bring magnetic resonance analysers into real-world metals & mining operations at scale.
Commissioned in Zacatecas, Mexico — the world's first full-scale deployment of magnetic resonance bulk ore sorting technology.
Tested and proven in Zambia — the most ambitious deployment of MR bulk ore sorting to date, delivering industry-leading throughput.
A new spinout purpose-built to develop CSIRO's magnetic resonance technology for explosive detection and drug enforcement applications.
A ground-breaking mobile platform enabling real-time ore grade measurement directly from haul trucks — transforming mine-to-mill intelligence.
MR sensor co-developed with the world's largest humanitarian demining NGO — technology in service of saving lives.
Successful testing at Brisbane's MILTECS facility and live minefield trials in Angola — validating performance under real-world conditions.
NextOre and MRead merge to create a unified global platform spanning mining optimisation, humanitarian demining, and security detection.
NextOre, CSIRO and a significant Australian miner execute agreements for next-generation lithium and iron ore MR analysers — opening two major new markets.
