International Conferences on Deep and High Stress Mining
Stay tuned for information on the 10th International Conference on Deep and High Stress Mining
Underground mining continues to progress at deeper levels and industry is now extracting mineral reserves at depth that previously would have been considered unmineable. Deep mining is a very technical and challenging environment.
A high level of understanding and technically sound approaches are essential to deal with the significant
geotechnical challenges of deep and high stress mining, and best practice and innovation need to be
implemented.
This conference provides a forum for deep mining professionals to share research, ideas and experiences in order to help improve safety and productivity in the industry.
Conference Themes
- Geotechnical and financial risk assessment
and management - Numerical and empirical design and analysis
- Rock mass response to mining (from
dynamic response to squeezing ground) - Ground support
- Dealing with groundwater
- Blasting
- Case Studies (sucess stories as well as
failures) - Occupational health and safety
- Ventilation
- The ACG Ground Support for underground mines book is available for purchase here.
- Deep and high stress mining papers are available from the ACG Online Repository of Conference Proceedings.
