Summary
Ore Dressing Investigations was first established in 1934 as a collaborative venture between the Kalgoorlie School of Mines, the South Australian School of Mines and Industries and the University of Melbourne. Until 1950 the research was directed by the investigators. In February 1970 the Ore Dressing Investigations unit was disbanded with some of the staff and expertise joining the CSIRO Division of Chemical Engineering, while the majority was incorporated into the CSIRO Division of Mineral Chemistry.
