AusIMM in collaboration with The University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute’s Centre for Water in the Minerals Industry (CWiMI) are pleased to welcome you back to the highly regarded Life of Mine Conference. 

The extensive 3-day program will showcase technical examples of the lifecycle of a mine, including case studies that apply interdisciplinary approaches that enhance outcomes, increase efficiencies, and improve effectiveness to address current and future challenges facing the industry, including the growing costs and production pressures, ever-demanding technical factors, and the increasing societal and community expectations. 

Life of Mine delegates will gain invaluable points of networking, engagement, interaction, and new knowledge. Contributions from a broad range of professional disciplines with a diversity of affiliations and views will stimulate discussion and help elicit conference outcomes to better position the sector in the years ahead.
