As the world’s largest co-located, interdisciplinary research institute, we unite seven specialist centres spanning geology, mineral processing, environmental management, health and safety, organisational effectiveness, social responsibility, and mineral security. This unique structure enables integrated, practical solutions to complex challenges.

Our global reach extends to South America through SMI Chile, where we co-develop projects and share knowledge to build best practice across both resource-rich regions. Through JKTech, our technology transfer company, we deliver laboratory services, specialised software, consultancy, and training to support the industry worldwide.

Students are a vital part of SMI's research community, contributing fresh ideas through our Higher Degree by Research program, while our professional development portfolio supports a skilled workforce through training grounded in cutting edge research.
