MINE VENTILATIONThe Australian

31 August – 2 September 2015 | Sydney, Australia

THE CONFERENCE Ventilation is a major factor in the safe and effective operation of mines, and is a major contributor to capital and operating costs. Significant developments in practice and research in recent years has helped ensure that we maintain and improve levels of safety within our underground mining sector.

The organising committee aims to provide an opportunity to present these developments so that the industry can benefit from this collective knowledge. As with previous events held in 2011 and 2013, we will again call on the expertise of industry and academia to present the third in a series of ventilation conferences.

The conference will bring together operators, planning personnel, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, government regulators, consultants and research and technology personnel to explore achievements and build a better industry.

Consistent with the aims of The AusIMM, the conference enables members and industry to keep abreast of views on various aspects of mine ventilation and provide a forum to showcase technical and factual information within the minerals industry.
