Assisting Continued Production and Safeguarding Environmental Responsibility

Social, economic and environmental factors are increasing pressure on those responsible for the storage, cleansing and release of water in mining.

Mines now have to find ways of amending their plans, capabilities and strategies in order to handle the changing climate and incorporate new regulations, whilst minimising production downtime and maintaining the Social Licence to Operate.

Mining IQ’s Water Management in Mining 2012 conference in Brisbane is Australia’s foremost water management in mining event. This is your chance to learn from and network with your mining peers to gain insights, identify opportunities and take away new key strategies for successful and compliant water management in mining.

Water Management in Mining 2012 will identify and dissect the current issues and present the strategies to successfully traverse these complex concerns:

Regulatory and Compliance Amendment: Community pressure, increased mining and a changing climate are the three main drivers behind regulatory change; study how each one presents its own specific burden, in addition to the resulting legislation and how to effectively mitigate the effects of these issues from the outset.

Water Management in the Mine Plan: Providing guidelines relating to how long-term policy needs to be adapted from short- and medium-term issues and balancing this with economic demands, as well as the need for stability.

Flood and Surface Water Preparation: As mines planned on previous precipitation data struggle to cope with recent years’ amounts of rainfall entering the mine, hear about state-of-the-art flood and surface water management initiatives alleviating the challenge.

Cumulative Effects and Stakeholder Management: Hear case studies on how to collaborate and integrate with the local community and other stakeholders to provide a mutually beneficial and transparent position to reduce the impact of cumulative effects on water sources and maintain social licence to operate.

Water Conservation and Recycling: With many competing interests for investment, we investigate the key business reasons for investing in water efficiency, as opposed to other aspects of the mine site, and discover new technologies and water conservation strategies.
