To be held at the University of Queensland’s Business School Downtown on October 27-28, this year’s conference has a theme of Technology Solutions for Challenging Financial Times.
The technical committee for the conference is inviting abstracts from industry and the mining research community on such areas as materials handling, mine planning and scheduling, automated mining technologies, operational decisions support, orebody definition and characterisation, mining methods and rock fragmentation.
“Mining industry and collaborative industry research papers will be highly regarded,” CRCMining said.
Abstracts are due by April 24 and limited to 500 words, with the submission template available from the CRCMining website.
CRCMining’s research covers five program areas: shovels, trucks and electrical, coal production, smart mining systems, and geoengineering and technology.
