Focused on “Mining in a World of Innovation,” the event will take place in Rio de Janeiro from October 18-21, 2016. For paper presentation at WMC, it is necessary to submit each abstract on www.wmc2016.org.br.
The topics covered will be mineral exploration, open-pit mining, underground mining, mine economics, mining sustainability, mineral processing, automation and robotics, and mining innovation.
The event will bring together an exhibition area, a space for technical paper presentation and a conference.
