Welcome to the website of the South African Minerals to Metals Research Institute

The South African Minerals to Metals Research Institute (SAMMRI) was launched in November 2010. SAMMRI is a joint venture involving the mining industry, the Department of Science and Technology and Universities and has as its primary aim the promotion of high level research and development in minerals processing in South Africa in order to address the dual challenges  of developing new appropriate technologies for the minerals processing industry and the provision of adequate numbers of highly trained engineers for the industry. It is hoped that potential sponsoring companies and research institutions who are interested in our activities will find the information on this site of value.
