Between a rock and a hard place – welcome to the future of mining
Who’s leading from the front on emissions reduction?
More storms, fires, and floods: how will extreme weather events affect mining operations?
Sharing water. New planning tool offers miners in dry regions a shared water supply solution. The financial, environmental and social feasibility of mining in some of the world’s driest regions could be unlocked through shared water supply networks say UQ researchers.
Critical minerals and legal safeguards. Rushing to extract critical minerals could compromise sustainable development, say UQ researchers. The urgency to provide metals for the energy transition is putting pressure on the legal safeguards and approval processes governing mining.
About the Congress
The World Mining Congress was first held in 1958 in Poland. It has been held every two to three years ever since. It is UN-affiliated and continues to have a secretariat in Poland.
The 26th World Congress will be held for the first time in Australia, spanning the entire Brisbane Convention Centre from 26 to 29 June 2023. The Congress anticipates over 3,000 participants from over 70 countries.
The Congress was brought to Australia with the support of the host, CSIRO, Australia’s ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Science Agency. The Australian Government’s Department of Industry, Science and Resources is our Major Sponsor and Queensland is our Host State Sponsor. A large suite of leading global and national companies and research agencies are also major sponsors of the Congress.
