4 September | Customs House, Brisbane
The IFAC Conference is hosted by the University of Queensland.
Mining3 is a an Innovation Igniter sponsor for this year's IFAC Conference.
In-place Mining: Challenges and the Path Forward with Automation, Processing, and Modelling Solutions
Join us
Mining3 invites you to join us for our industry forum on In-place Mining, a future mining approach that promises to fundamentally change the way we mine. This forum will bring together mining industry professionals, academia, and students to learn, share knowledge and discuss solutions. Through presentations from industry experts and facilitated round table sessions, participants will be able to tackle the challenges to accelerate the development of modelling, processing, and automation for In-place Mining.
Ticket pricing
The Mining3 Mining the Gap Innovation Forum is scheduled from 12:30 – 5:15 p.m. on September 4. Capacity is limited and includes lunch on arrival from 12:30 p.m.
Registration for the 4-day IFAC Conference includes complimentary entry to the Mining3 Innovation Forum.

Why you should attend
Academics, are you ready to tackle new challenges?
In-place Mining challenges conventional mining methods, giving you the chance to break away from siloed thinking, optimise models and collaborate across disciplines.
Mining companies, are you racing against time?
As mining becomes less economical, this forum offers you a rare opportunity to collaborate with top academics and forward-thinking students to develop new projects that could accelerate the development of In-place Mining methods.
Suppliers, are you looking to fuel innovation?
Stay ahead by learning from industry leaders and academics, empowering you to shape the future of mining technology and solutions.
