Background

The SAIMM is proud to announce its 3rd conference around the topic of Tailings. Since the inaugural conference, which raised the profile of tailings and encouraged collaboration between the various role players in the tailings industry, and the 2nd conference, which focused on embracing the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), there has been much progress. Progress in terms of a better understanding of the requirements and implications of the GISTM, progress in terms of improved geotechnical understanding of how tailings dams work, progress in terms of involving stakeholders and progress in terms of working towards improved safety performance through compliance with the GISTM.

There have unfortunately also been further tailings dam failures, which suggests that there is still work to be done and lessons to be learnt.

This conference focuses on the future of tailings for the next generation. In a future of new standards, expectations and possibilities - what opportunities exist? And on the flip side, what are the residual risks? How can tailings be reduced, reclaimed or reused? How can existing technologies be improved, and new technologies become the new normal. What impacts, once considered acceptable, are no longer accepted, and how do we best address these?
Join us in exploring these exciting topics in a forum with participation with all the key role players in the tailings industry.
