Technology & Innovation

Workers talking by machinery
Newcrest’s capabilities to find, develop, mine and process a diverse range of orebodies – including lower grade, complex, refractory, deep, narrow or those in poor ground – have been enhanced by ongoing innovation and problem-solving.
It is Newcrest’s capability in bulk underground mining, particularly block caving which truly sets us apart and positions Newcrest to take advantage of future discoveries.
