International Mining Symposium
September 25 – 28, 2023 in Dresden
RE-THINKING MINING REMEDIATION
Innovative approaches towards sustainability
The remediation of mining sites is often a highly complex and technologically demanding task that depends on available technologies and economic conditions. Mine remediation aims at the necessary and permanent reduction of risks and impacts on people and the environment. From the planning phase through to the completion of the remediative work, it is important to also consider future challenges with a view to achieve a sustainable subsequent use of remediated sites. Innovative reuse of former mining sites, including the implementation of efficient energy concepts and the responsible use of resources, all increase the social acceptance of mineral extraction and its consequences.
The experience and skills gained in over 30 years of active mine rehabilitation will also be needed in future, forming the base of making mining sustainable. At the Symposium, innovative approaches towards sustainable mine remediation will be in the focus of attention.
The 5th International Mining Symposium WISSYM 2023 offers a platform for exchanging and discussing experiences in mining remediation for national and international remediation specialists, mining operators, scientists, representatives of authorities and administration as well as consulting engineers.
