This workshop provides an opportunity to share information, through presentation of research results and case studies highlighting leading practice AMD management principles. Australian mining companies, researchers and consultants have contributed greatly to our collective knowledge of AMD. This is testament to the cooperative approach and open dialogue encouraged and maintained by the Australian AMD workshops.

The workshop theme, “What’s Working, What’s Not and What Could Be”, emphasises the need for companies to ensure their AMD risk assessment processes truly communicate a clear message to senior management, to learn from observations of the practical long-term implications of climatic extremes and to integrate appropriate emerging treatment technologies and research into perpetuity maintenance.
