Proceedings of the 10th Asian Mining Congress 2023
The Preamble
The Mining, Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI), established way back on 16th January 1906, is an internationally acclaimed professional body and is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in the world. Since inception, it has been working to promote and advance the mining and mineral industries. Its flagship events, the Asian Mining Congress (AMC) and International Mining Exhibition (IME), held concurrently, are international affairs organized biennially. These events provide ample opportunities to all stakeholders including practising engineers, manufacturers of machinery, planners, regulators, academicians, scientists and policy makers, for sharing their knowledge, experience and expertise, and exhibit their products that can benefit the mining and mineral industries not only in the Asian region but also globally.
The first AMC and Exhibition were held in January 2006 to commemorate the centenary of MGMI. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th AMCs were held in January 2008, January 2010, January 2012, February 2014, February 2016, November 2017, November 2019 and April 2022 respectively. There was very good response worldwide in each event with participation of a large number of delegates from India and useful contributions by experts from Asian countries including Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Iran, Mongolia, Oman, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Thailand, Turkey etc. Besides the Indian Mineral Industries boosting the events. The conference proceedings were further enriched with valuable association of eminent professionals from Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, South Africa, Sweden, UK and USA.
The 10th Asian Mining Congress and International Mining Exhibition have been scheduled to be held during November 06-09, 2023 in Kolkata. For this conference, invitations are being extended to all mineral rich Asian countries for active participation. Other countries, who have made significant advancements in the evolution of best mining practices and technological developments are also being requested to participate.
The Background
The Asia region is a significant producer of metal ores and minerals; the production of some major metal commodities accounts for more than half of the world’s total. This region is also a main producer and consumer of coal. However, the Mining Sector in particular and Mineral Sector at large are at the crossroads of a global transformation for their long-term sustainability. While increasing depth and complexities of mineral deposits, efficient processing and utilisation of coal, minerals and metals and value addition are major technical challenges, combating the menace of climate change, implementing energy transition and living up to strong societal expectations are serious concerns.
At this juncture it is very pertinent to brainstorm on best mining practices taking stock of the recent developments, availability of state-of-the-art technologies and equipment and relevant cutting-edge innovations, including digital transformations in the sector.
In this backdrop, the Congress will provide a forum to promote and advance techno-scientific cooperation towards national and international progress in the areas of mineral production, in addition to the development of new opportunities of sustainable business that will benefit both Asian and global mining communities.
