Following its highly successful launch last year, the Mining Magazine Congress has announced plans for 2010 which will see this unique event moving down under to Perth, Western Australia.

The inaugural show in 2009 was staged in Niagara, Canada and for the first time ever for an event of this kind, combined the whole mining process from drill and blast through to processing. It attracted hundreds of delegates from around the world.

Announcing this year's event, Mining Magazine editor, Paul Moore, said plans were to stay with the Congress's winning formula of a high level conference combined with a focussed exhibition but to take it to the other side of the world on November 10 and 11, 2010. The Congress, which will include exhibition space for 60 stands, consists of four main themes – Drilling and Blasting; Loading and Hauling; Crushing and Conveying and Processing. In addition, the 2010 Mining Magazine Awards will also be presented during the event.

As with last year's event, it will provide delegates with a truly global knowledge sharing opportunity – moving the focus away from huge impersonal exhibitions and expositions towards an environment where senior managers from the mining industry itself, together with existing and potential suppliers of equipment, components and services, can come together to talk about new ideas for faster and more efficient mine production.

From the introduction of legislation to address climate change and greenhouse gas emissions to working with indigenous peoples and local communities surrounding proposed projects, environmental and social responsibility has become an integral part of exploration and mining. Against this background, Mining Environmental Management in partnership with PDAC and ICMM proudly presented their first environmental event in conjunction with PDAC’s annual convention in Toronto, Canada.

Welcoming around 150 delegates to this first event discussing corporate social responsibility and sustainability in the mining industry, Mining, People and the Environment provoked excellent debate and lively discussion about the topics covered.

The keynote presenter, Marketa Evans, extractive sector CSR counsellor at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada urged the industry to do more to improve its CSR reputation. The day progressed with further presentations on topics from rights and access to water to the implementation of the PDAC’s E3 Plus toolkit, and while the day covered a plethora of important issues in the CSR space, the key reoccurring message was engaging with communities to achieve that essential ‘social licence to operate’.
