Meet the industry leaders who shape the Future of Mining
DELEGATE INFORMATION PACK
Media
The Future of Mining will bring together C-suite, Heads and Managers of Mine Operations, METS and Support Services from top enterprises around the globe to debate, come up with answers and define the current and future mining landscape.
Expert speakers will include leaders from across the industry in an agenda curated through the knowledge capital of the trusted and globally renowned Australia’s Mining Monthly and Mining Magazine editorial teams.
The Future of Mining will address the key strategic and operational questions that matter from project/operations level management through to the boardroom. The event will offer genuine insight into the catalysts and the trends redefining the global mining environment.
While presentations and panels will provide the broad understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the industry, true value will come from enabling in-depth, open discussion with peers. We will curate and run small-group knowledge exchanges on key issues to encourage collaborative problem solving and growth.
The strategic and operational questions that will be addressed
will cover the future of exploration, development, processing, asset management, infrastructure and sustainability. Some of the questions the conference will pose will include:
lWhat does a fully-automated mine of the future look likenext to today’s manual version: what are the key capex, opex,payback/ROI, safety and reclamation comparables?
lWhat geology structure detection and definition approacheswork best, and why: what does the cutting edge look like?
l How connected are mine and mining company head officeswith the ‘factory floor’? Does full, reliable connectivity acrossenterprises and supply chains mean asset owners are readyto deploy capital more effectively, and reap higher returns? Dothey have the power to switch production on and off in syncwith market fluctuations?
l A new generation of tech-savvy leaders and operators isbringing change to the mining industry. If technology is to playa bigger role in the industry’s future, how does it position itselfbetter to adequately compete for the best people, to executenew exploration, development and production strategies andachieve the returns being promised to investors?
