Integrating innovative approaches to mine design, management and operation for delivering enhanced environmental, social and economic performance

9th Australian Acid and Metalliferous Drainage (AMD) workshop is presented by the Sustainable Minerals Institute Institute at The University of Queensland. The workshop, associated short course and site visit, will provide excellent opportunities to share with speakers and delegates, unbiased expertise and advocacy with respect to the causes, management and amelioration of the impacts of AMD and Acid Sulphate Soils.

UQ’s Sustainable Minerals Institue (SMI) is hosting a free one day conference for HDR students to present their research, learn and engage with industry professionals and each other.

This intermediate course provides a current overview of leading industry practice related to social impact assessment and management that is consistent with IAIA’s International Principles for SIA and Guidance for SIA. We address the current issues relevant to the business of managing the social impacts of extractives projects.

On Thursday 13 July 2017 Mr Charlie Sartain, SMI Advisory Board Chair and UQ Senator, hosted our UQ-SMI Alumni and Community Reception. The event was well attended with over 110 acceptances and, by all accounts, it was a very successful and enjoyable evening.
