    Mark added:
    I am very excited to be part of the hashtag#COEMinerals team, which is discovering and inventing science-based, more efficient ways to recover minerals. I believe my research on the GRolls® crushing technology can benefit mineral processing, and support the mining industry to meet Net Zero targets by 2050.”
