Conference 2011

Interested in Presenting?

The breadth and scope of the topics being discussed at the Mining Magazine Congress is beyond anything available at any other conference and represents a vast spectrum of industry insight and knowledge.

Attendees will hear a large number of key presentations on areas such as IPCC, automation, optimising minerals recovery, latest technologies in drill and blast, and improving the efficiency of the mining cycle.

What is on offer is two days of very high-quality information from key product managers, engineers and consultants at the forefront of new technology development and evolution. For miners, it represents an opportunity to meet senior representatives from their suppliers, large and small, to debate how the operational part of the industry can move forward.

The panel  forum feature of the conference will allow debate and discussion from the audience and the panellists

Mining Magazine Congress offers the operational mining industry and its suppliers a forum in which to share knowledge, innovative ideas on best practice, case studies and experiences, and new technologies and equipment.
