Mine Planning Colloquium
6–7 June 2017
Mintek
Randburg
The SAIMM’s Mine Planning Forum has previously clearly highlighted the limitations currently available for mine planning skills. The 2012 and 2014 Planning Schools was well received and there seems to be sufficient support for it to be successfully repeated in 2017.
