The IOM3 Mining Technology Group (formerly the Mining Technology Division) is run by a dedicated leadership group with extensive knowledge and practical experience across a wide range of mining disciplines.

The group supports the mining and extractive industries worldwide by providing a focus for the promotion of, and exchange of knowledge on, all aspects of mining lifecycle technology including mine design and development, production and transport, and mine closure and remediation, plus other mining industry related matters. The group also encompasses, and supports the two associated subgroups the Ground Engineering Subgroup and the Sustainable Development Subgroup.

The Mining Technology Leadership Team aims to:

  • Share knowledge about mining technologies that will be central to the drive towards more sustainable and safer mining practices whilst meeting the projected exponential growth in demand for materials in the built, communication and transportation infrastructures of the future
  • Collaborate within IOM3 and consult with the wider membership and external bodies 
  • Create technical news content, networking and professional development opportunities for IOM3 members with mining interests
  • Develop a wider public and political acknowledgement that mining is global, essential and influences, affects and provides the needs of societies across the world
  • Inspire the next generation of entrants into the extractive industries, and support individuals on their journeys to perhaps become future leaders of IOM3 and the stakeholders it serves

The Ground Engineering Subgroup (GES)

GES provides a focus for the ground engineering community within IOM3 as a subgroup of the Mining Technology Group. Its main objective is to create a space for ground engineering professionals in IOM3 for national and international ground engineering and to act as a forum, collating and facilitating networking and information exchange to provide opportunities for professional development.

IOM3 Investigates... Responsible Mining

 

In this first segment of a bumper double episode of ‘IOM3 Investigates’, Dr Colin Church (CEO IOM3) is joined by Fiona Cessford (Corporate Consultant with SRK) and Adam Matthews (Co-Director Investment Team at the Church of England Pensions Board) to discuss aspects of responsible mining - that is, mining that engages ethically with local communities, minimises environmental damage and doesn’t exploit its workforce.

In this segment, the focus is on investor and other influences that are driving the spread of responsible mining; in the second segment they look in more detail at the rising demands placed on mining companies in terms of tailings storage facilities.
