Mine planners/managers, engineers, scientists, financial specialists and community engagement practitioners will assemble to participate in a program that integrates the many disciplines involved in mine closure. Delegates will gain a better understanding of mine closure challenges, risks and opportunities to develop cost effective solutions that reduce environmental impacts and improve social legacy. Delegates will learn about innovative mine closure techniques, strategies and processes.
Over 500 delegates from North America and overseas are expected to attend Mine Closure 2011. Many will submit papers for the technical program that emphasizes innovation and showcases the application of state-of-the-art technologies and cost-conscious practices as industry specialists seek to minimize the environmental footprint, provide for sustainable mining practices and avoid end-of-mine liabilities.
