MT Newswires Live06-03

BHP Group (ASX:BHP) said Wednesday it is using advanced computing in partnership with Microsoft and Prescience Insilico to discover advanced copper extraction technologies.

The company said in a statement that, working with Microsoft, its team screened over 500,000 molecules that might help extract copper more efficiently using quantum chemistry calculations and simulations.

The resulting candidate molecules are being tested against the realities of our ore bodies and operating constraints, said Jessica Farrell, vice president of innovation at BHP.

BHP's shares rose past 2% in recent trading on Wednesday and earlier hit an all-time high.
