This category intends to gather, assess, and give visibility to the successful projects and/or experiences in the field of science and innovation applied to the different areas of the mining industry, as well as to promote its constant improvement.

This category seeks to disseminate technical proposals that can bring about significant changes in productivity, safety, and costs in order to achieve operational excellence and an increase in value in the mining business.

High mineral recovery rates depend upon good processing plant performance, which is why we need to design projects to optimize comminution, concentration, flotation, and even reuse of minerals from tailings.

Social management initiatives make it easier for mining companies and communities of influence to have a harmonious coexistence based on mutual respect, active listening, and a joint effort to achieve comprehensive, organized, and sustainable development of the area.

Geology, along with explorations, enable us to know the potential of our mineral resources and to plan for the future of the mining industry. Therefore, we intend to provide relevant related information to benefit the sector.

We seek initiatives aimed at optimizing the legal and tax framework in order to boost competitiveness of the mining sector and strengthen wealth distribution that leads to a further development of society.

We focus on establishing axes that will trigger the debate about the different challenges facing the sector, exposing innovative good management practices that contribute to a responsible, efficient, and sustainable mining activity.

In the mining business, every viable proposal must have a component that drives high-level decisions to ensure economic-financial health and maximize profitability for the benefit of the company and its stakeholders, at the lowest possible cost.

Works will be submitted in all categories: Mining Operations, Research and Technology, Minerals Processing and Extractive Metallurgy, Environmental Management, Social Management, Geology and Exploration, Legal and Tax, and Mining Economics.
