March 19, 2017 was the last day of the five-day specialized technological seminar entitled Modern Technologies and Equipment for Mineral Deposits Development – The South African Experience.
Seminar participants met with South African companies that design and manufacture mining equipment and develop advanced technologies for mining and processing of minerals.
There were extensive presentations, lively discussions, and guided visits to production facilities of such companies as Metix, CCS Mining and Industrial, Weir Мineral, Aveng Mining, Mintek, Savannah Process and Transalloy. Seminar participants descended into one of the deepest mines in the world, TauTona mine, owned by the well-known AngloGold Ashanti Corporation. Descent to the 97th level to witness the process of gold ore mining in real time at a depth of 2500 meters left an indelible impression. Participants from Kazakhstan noted the safety and efficiency of the production process and the positive attitude of the employees.
We thank all participants for their feedback and hope that the experience and knowledge gained during the seminar will help the specialists from Kazakhstan improve their production processes and increase the profitability of their projects.
