Conference Proceedings
CMMI Congress 2002
The 2002 CMMI Congress proceedings cover three themes which are becoming increasingly important in the mining industry of the 21st Century:
International Reporting Standards;
New Technology and Competition; and
Sustainability for the Minerals
Industry.
The CMMI 2002 Congress proceedings volume addresses the challenges facing the industry and a way forward for the professionals in the minerals industry. The Congress attracted presenters of national and international renown, and this is reflected in the quality of the technical papers contained in these proceedings.
The volume examines a proposed International Code for the Public Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Reserves and the question of the most appropriate organisational structure through which industry should host and manage international codes of this nature. The volume looks at International Accounting Standards and ways to respond to and create opportunities from globalisation and centralisation of the industry and to explore what sustainable development means to the professional.
The New Technology and Competition theme gives an emphasis both on innovation and on maximising efficiencies with current technology. Several papers discuss new or applied technology in controlling fragmentation, and others examine the improved use of geological knowledge in maintaining efficient operations. Automation to improve the utilisation of existing assets is discussed, and the concept of sustainability is introduced, leading to the third theme of the conference.
Sustainable Development is now an important consideration for the international minerals industry. The challenge is to understand how to put the principles into effective practice at a time when practical application is not well understood. The topics in the Sustainability stream are broad, reflecting the diversity of views and issues. These Congress proceedings will play a useful part in advancing the understanding and implementation of sustainable development, including the role of professionals in this area.
