We're pleased to be co-sponsors of 'The Evolution of Mining: Securing a Sustainable Future' on 10 September 2025.

Continuing our commitment to knowledge-sharing across sectors, the Mining Technology Group, together with NEIMME, is collaborating with The Hydrogeological Group for their upcoming conference.
