Deep Mining 2027
16–18 November 2027 | Perth, Western Australia
Underground mining is occurring at ever greater depth: many well-established world-class ore bodies are open at depth and many greenfield projects are located deeper. The Deep Mining conference series is therefore highly relevant.
The abstract submission deadline is 14 April 2027.
Conference Themes
- Geotechnical and financial risk assessment and management
- Numerical and empirical design and analysis
- Rock mass response to mining (from seismicity to squeezing ground)
- Ground support
- Case studies (success stories as well as failures)
- Occupational health and safety
