Mining Magazine Congress moves Down Under |

Following its highly successful launch last year, the Mining Magazine Congress has announced plans for 2010 which will see this unique event moving down under to Perth, Western Australia.
The inaugural show in 2009 was staged in Niagara, Canada and for the first time ever for an event of this kind, combined the whole mining process from drill and blast through to processing. It attracted hundreds of delegates from around the world.
Announcing this year's event, Mining Magazine editor, Paul Moore, said plans were to stay with the Congress's winning formula of a high level conference combined with a focussed exhibition but to take it to the other side of the world on November 10 and 11, 2010. The Congress, which will include exhibition space for 60 stands, consists of four main themes – Drilling and Blasting; Loading and Hauling; Crushing and Conveying and Processing. In addition, the 2010 Mining Magazine Awards will also be presented during the event.
As with last year's event, it will provide delegates with a truly global knowledge sharing opportunity – moving the focus away from huge impersonal exhibitions and expositions towards an environment where senior managers from the mining industry itself, together with existing and potential suppliers of equipment, components and services, can come together to talk about new ideas for faster and more efficient mine production.
"Australia’s mining industry continues to thrive, fuelled by Asian demand for commodities – particularly from China. Additionally, the proximity of other globally important mining countries such as Indonesia and Papua New Guinea give the conference an added significance," said Mr Moore.
Australia also has a reputation for pushing the boundaries in terms of new product development and innovation, both through owner-operators and contractors; so represents an ideal location for this type of conference.
Mining Magazine exists primarily to keep the global mining industry informed of the latest developments and trends in the mining equipment and mineral processing markets. And the same goes for the Mining Magazine Congress. Based on this core principle, and after consultation with a wide range of industry stakeholders, it is our intention that the event will be held annually, but uniquely will move around the world’s principal mine production regions.
As Mining Magazine is part of leading mining publisher, Aspermont, the strong presence and recognition of our sister publication Australia’s Mining Monthly in the Australian market is another key advantage and strength. Both publications will be working together to ensure the event focuses on market leading mine production themes.
