Introduction:
The mining industry now accepts that the majority of the world's future minerals will come from low-grade, high-tonnage, ultra-mechanised operations. As a result, a higher production of waste rock and tailings is expected over the course of the 21st century. Mining systems will require re-engineering, based on the paradigm shift that mining business success is fundamentally dependent upon waste management. As sustainable development principles are increasingly applied by mining companies in the wider world, this event will cover all aspects of life cycle waste rock and tailings management, from site selection and design to post-closure care. As a lead into the conference there will be a selection of workshops and the two-day conference will feature renowned keynote speakers, four expert panel discussions covering key current themes, and paper presentations.
