| From
the commencement of the project until 1996, the JKMRC was the
only research contractor in the project.
During
this period of the project the JKMRC provided all the technical
research input in all modules of the project. A significant
working relationship was established between all parties in
this project, ie sponsors, AMIRA and JKMRC, with sponsors
commonly asking and expecting JKMRC to identify the new technical
targets and direction for the project.

| In
1996 a very productive collaboration between JKMRC and University
of Cape Town (UCT) developed. Whilst this was principally in
the flotation area it has grown to other discipline areas including
comminution. The collaboration between these institutions is
now very well established, provides significant technical synergy
to the project and has also been the impetus to securing the
significant South African mining industry support which the
project currently enjoys.
At
the beginning of the P9M extension (January 2000) McGill University
in Canada joined the research team.
Over
the years, there has been a very healthy and timely turnover
of staff in the project, continually providing new initiatives
to the program. Students involved in the project originate
from universities worldwide and are often seconded from sponsors.
Students completing their MSc and PhD studies are highly sought
after by the industry.
