With the world facing a new and uncertain financial environment following the global financial crisis, it has become more challenging to operate in both a safe and economically viable manner. The 2010 AusIMM New Leaders’ Conference – Success in a New Financial World, to be held in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, focuses in on this topic and examines the strategies being deployed by mining companies to sustain operations through and beyond the current instability and uncertainty.

The conference focuses across all disciplines of the mineral industry and seeks to examine efforts made by mining companies to ensure survival through, and beyond, the financial crisis. Presentations can focus on any aspect of mining or mineral processing from technological improvements through to changes to management systems or social programmes. Presenters are welcome from any facet of the mining industry, from financial analysts and environmental scientists through to mine developers and operators.
