BACKGROUND The minerals industry is a backbone for most of the economies in the African continent, thus, it is vital that the exploitation of the mineral resources is conducted profitably. However, without any paradigm shift in the tactics we employ to mine these resources, the mineral wealth we possess will not be of any benefit to the current and future generations. There needs to be a shift in the way we exploit the resources in order to ensure longevity of current operations and enable mining of deep-level complex orebodies in a safe, healthy and profitable manner. This can be achieved through integration of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th revolutions to create a sustainable minerals industry OBJECTIVE ‚ Provide proof of the ‘unlocked value’ offered by innovations through technology (tools), strategy and skills development. ‚ Offer deeper context specifically for the African minerals sector (risks & opportunities) ‚ Document impact of current/anticipated changes on future sustainability and competitiveness ‚ Offer clarity on expectations for papers/abstracts submission through announcements WHO SHOULD ATTEND This conference should be of value to all professionals across the entire minerals industry value chain, including: ‚ All metallurgical fields ‚ Exploration ‚ Geology ‚ Geotechnical engineering ‚ ICT experts ‚ Industrial relations and community involvementMechanical, electrical/electronic engineers ‚ Leadership/management/government/community ‚ Mineralogy ‚ Mining ‚ Mixed reality visualisation tech ‚ SHE practitioners ‚ Software developers EXHIBITION/SPONSORSHIP Sponsorship opportunities are available.
