We are excited to announce the teams that will be moving on to Phase 2 of the Rio Tinto Ore Upgrading Challenge:

  1. HavenSter Team - Hendrik Havenga and Simon Streicher
  2. Eric Agorhom's Team - Eric Agorhom, Clement Owusu, and Jim Pae Lem

Rio Tinto is excited to see what these two teams are able to accomplish during the development period. 

We would like to thank everyone who participated in Phase 1. At this time, Rio Tinto has selected only two entries to fund for Phase 2 development and will not be selecting a third entry. The winning submissions propose novel approaches that are well substantiated and Rio Tinto is hopeful that the teams will be able to make significant progress in the development period.

Congratulations to the teams progressing to Phase 2!
