Owing to its relative depth (approximately 60 metres below surface), Iluka has spent decades developing a novel, remotely operated, underground mining (UGM) technology. This mining method is now in operation at the Balranald Mine. This mining method is truly innovative Iluka's UGM technology is akin to keyhole surgery for the mining of critical minerals. It utilises directional drills to access to ore bodies previously thought uneconomic, with marked reductions in both environmental disturbance and carbon intensity relative to traditional mining techniques.
