This much-requested conference seeks to provide real value and content to the industry's professionals who are responsible for the design, selection, operation and maintenance of mineral processing, slurry handling and tailings operations, surface disposal, mine backfill and transport. The inclusion of filtering equipment for thickening tailings has resulted in a number of new case studies, with particular emphasis on the relative costs of different solutions.

In addition, mine tailings, rock dump, and leach pad geotechnical issues have received the attention of ecologists and law makers in the mining industry. In order to address new challenges, operators, researchers, superintendents and engineers need to stay at the forefront of change. If you don’t know what others are accomplishing, how can you gauge your own company’s performance? If you don’t know the latest and best developments, how can you measure your achievements or indeed, the impact the best executive talent is having on new design solutions and developments in mining mechanisation systems. This enlightening conference seeks to illuminate all these issues and so much more!

We believe this conference will provide immeasurable worth to all attendees and I look forward to your participation.
