Minerals and waste
Through our MineralsUK Centre, we carry out research on a range of topics related to the sustainable development of mineral resources.
Working with partners from academia and industry, our research portfolio includes metallogenesis, resource management and security of supply issues.
Much of our research is underpinned by our internationally respected mineral statistics database and our position as the major UK provider of national spatial and statistical minerals information.
