A flagship event in AusIMM’s calendar, the Underground Operators Conference will return in 2023. Bringing together mining engineers, mine operators, technical service managers and consultants, this conference sets the benchmark for sharing underground operational experiences and industry best practice.

With deposits getting deeper or lower in grade, there is increased pressure to find smarter and more cost-effective ways to extract orebodies. To address this demand, key discussion topics for 2023 centre around the evolution of digital technologies, automation and artificial intelligence and how these innovations are making it possible to mine at greater depths and lower grades.

Key themes in the 2023 program include: case studies and operating practice, technology and innovation, collaboration, feasibility studies and mine design, health and safety and navigating social licences.

We are pleased confirm three renowned industry leaders and global experts as Keynote Speakers for the Underground Operators Conference 2023.
