Conference Proceedings
Life-of-Mine Conference 2014
Building on the inaugural Life-of-Mine 2012 Conference, Life-of-Mine 2014
included presentations on the following topics: planning for closure; landform
design; rehabilitation challenges; life after mining; mining in a changing
world; mining and the community; new approaches and innovation; managing water
and waste and managing risk. Delegates from the varied (and not always
themselves sufficiently integrated) disciplines of geology, planning, mining and
mineral processing attended the event, along with those from an environmental,
social and broader sustainability-focused background. Delegates were able to
maximise opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning, reaping the benefits and
valuing the outcomes from such a conference.
