Overview
The Australian Centre for Sustainable Mining Practices, located in the Schoool of Mining Engineering was officially launched on March 31, 2011 (read full story). It aspires to be recognised by both government and industry in Australia and parts of south-east Asia and the Pacific region, as:
- a leading authority on sustainable mining practices
- a provider and developer of innovative educational resources across both tertiary and professional development sectors
- an active research organisation focussed on new mining practices, and development and application of technologies and systems for sustainable mining initiatives.
Our Logo
The ACSMP Logo represents the holistic, linked nature of Sustainable Mining Practices and links with the Australian and global communities. The oval shape represents both an open pit mine and the world community. The 5 segments (or open pit domains) represent the key sustainability dimensions of community; environment; economy; safety and efficiency. The Colours represent the major mineral commodities of coal (black), gold(yellow), iron ore (red), copper and base metals (green) and industrials (brown). The black, yellow and red represent Australian Indigenous communities with the brown and green representing the Australian landscape.
