The 2019 International Mining Geology Conference was held in Perth, Western Australia on 25-26 November 2019.It was jointly convened by the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG) and the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM).
The conference focused on the future of the industry and the impacts on mining geology and the mine value chain. The papers in this volume cover a range of topics, including best practice in data collection and mining geology; geological and geometallurgical modelling and resource estimation; maximising orebody value and driving productivity improvement; mine value chain integration; and the future of mining and mining geology.
