Overview

Extractive metallurgy is a specialist field that deals with the extraction of metals and mineral products from their ores through the application of scientific principles. Extractive metallurgists play a key role in the mining industry. They are responsible for the development of the best process to treat a particular ore and the efficient operation of the processing plant to convert the ore into metal and other products, as well as the disposal of wastes in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Students with an interest in chemistry and mathematics and the desire to pursue a rewarding career in the mining industry often make successful extractive metallurgists.

The final year of this major is completed at the WA School of Mines in Kalgoorlie.
