Innovation
Committed to fostering a culture of enquiry and innovation, we introduced an internal innovation award in 2021 to recognise and reward ideas that inspire us and have the potential to positively impact the business
A number of innovative ideas were progressed during the year:
Dry Mining Unit
-
The DMU represents the radical marriage of underwater track crawler technology with high capacity skid-mounted materials handling and sand pumping systems, into a single 400 ton remotely controlled mobile sand processing machine
-
The technology will be implemented at the Grande Côte mineral sands operation in Senegal, the largest single dredge mineral sands operation in the world
-
Developed by ADP in Cape Town, the DMU was the inaugural winner of our Innovation Award
Digital Twin
• The connected digital twin approach, whereby the plant is engineered as a static digital twin (digital replica of the asset) using augmented reality and virtual reality technology, enables the static digital twin to be the primary interface for operations and plant maintenance, linked to the connected digital twin running in the background
- The technology, developed collaboratively by ADP and a Tier 1 client, will provide whole-of-life benefits that will lead to better designs and more efficient operations in the future
ATA[TM] Technology
- ADP has designed and constructed a unit to implement ATA[TM] technology on a mine site to convert mineral waste slurry into two discrete products – a dewatered solid for landfill, construction and/or reclamation, and a clean water stream that can be immediately reused on site
• The unit is containerised and is currently in test phase at the Orapa diamond mine in Botswana and all process data recorded will be used to generate a design envelope for the full system
Orway IQ
FBICRC
OIQ is continuing to roll out • its MillROC (Mill Remote Optimisation Consulting and Coaching) platform
As a key participant in the Future Battery Industries Cooperative Research Centre, we are collaborating with researchers, governments and the community to support the development of Australia’s battery industries value chain
The platform provides customised data analysis and dashboards and is used by OIQ’s specialist metallurgists and advanced process control consultants to deliver • real-time coaching and implementation of continuous improvement • initiatives
-
- We are directly participating in five of the FBICRC’s foundation projects
-
The first of these to commence is the flagship Cathode Precursor Production Pilot Plant, for which Lycopodium is providing the FEED services
-
Perseus’ Yaouré mine was the first project to be purpose-built ‘MillROC ready’

14 Annual General Meeting 2021
Continuing to Manage COVID-19
-
FY2021 represented the first full year operating under the challenges presented by the global pandemic, with varying degrees of restrictions across our operational jurisdictions
-
Impact on operations has continued to be well managed, with open lines of communication vital, both internally with staff and externally with clients and other stakeholders, particularly given new projects mobilising in Africa
-
Operating protocols are aligned with the advice provided by the various governments and authorities within our operational locations globally
-
Focus remains on the health and wellbeing of our people, clients and partners, and the broader communities in which we operate, working together to maintain business continuity
-
The mental health and wellbeing of our people has been a particular area of focus, with ongoing support provided

15 Annual General Meeting 2021
Our Community
Our engagement with the communities within which we live and work is an integral part of how we like to do business and in late FY2021 we established the Lycopodium Foundation, to provide a formal vehicle for the administration of our philanthropic, community engagement and sponsorship activities:
-
A key pillar of our engagement strategy is to support social development and education and therefore our established partnerships with the Murlpirrmarra Connection in Australia and BASICS International in Africa remain ongoing
-
In response to the hardships being felt as a result of the pandemic, we contributed to the Salvation Army and St Vincent de Paul Society to assist families in need in our community and also supported the Child In Need Institute, an NGO which launched a COVID relief campaign to establish assistance centres in metro cities across India
-
Also in response to the pandemic, our electrically operated ventilator, LycoVent, obtained its Export Only Listing for use outside of Australia, and in partnership with Australian Doctors for Africa, we intend to make LycoVent available to African hospitals
-
Throughout the year, the Company also continued to support various charitable initiatives championed by our staff, including Jeans for Genes, Breast Cancer Care WA and the Cancer Council
