10th International Conference on Mine Closure in conjunction with 39th Annual BC Mine Reclamation Symposium

Mine Closure has become an internationally recognized conference series since it was established in 2006. The 10th International Conference on Mine Closure will offer a multidisciplinary global forum for exchanging views and developing capacity, to ensure that new mines are designed with closure in mind, and old sites are closed economically, while minimizing environmental and societal impacts.

This is the second time Mine Closure returns to Canada, after a very successful conference in 2011 at Lake Louise that attracted almost 600 delegates. Following on that success, the conference organizers have again partnered with the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation (BC TRCR). Mine Closure 2015 will be held in conjunction with TRCR’s 39th Annual BC Mine Reclamation Symposium. The joint event will offer delegates a stellar technical program featuring the latest scientific developments, as well as insightful discussions on the most pressing issues.

Evolution of mine closure: changing expectations
Closure – past, present and future
Mine closure and communities
Landform design
Ecosystem reconstruction
