ADVANCING AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE, LOW-CARBON POWER FOR MINESThe global mining sector is now fully engaged in a major energy transformation focused on reducing power use and costs, integrating renewables, and lowering carbon emissions. This transformation is being driven by rising and volatile energy costs, increased power security concerns, shareholder and regulatory pressures to decarbonize, the falling cost of alternative energy and the tie between sustainable energy and social license to operate. The last 18 months has witnessed the highest number of new alternative energy project announcements for mines with around a dozen projects publicly announced and several more advancing.

Mines are also revamping their broader corporate strategies to center on lowering carbon emissions, integrating alternative energy, and, in some cases, decarbonizing the commodities they sell. This heightened activity has opened a window of opportunity for partnering and leading on these projects as they start to become “business as usual” for the mining sector.

Now in its 6th year, the Energy and Mines World Congress is the global meeting place for senior mining, alternative energy, government and finance experts exploring cost-effective, reliable, and low-carbon energy for mines. Join us and become part of mining’s energy transformation.

WORLD CLASS AGENDAEnergy and Mines spends months speaking with the mining and renewables communities to understand the most critical areas of interest, the latest case studies and the key people to invite. An agenda is created that reflects the key concerns in the marketplace and showcases new and innovative examples of alternative energy use in the mining sector.

BREAKFASTS, LUNCHES, BREAKS, RECEPTIONS AND DINNERThe World Congress features formal and informal occasions to meet and network with prospective clients. The functions can be hosted and sponsored by companies to provide the opportunity for brand awareness and thought leadership. Successful sponsor led functions in the past have included the gala dinner, a mine and VIP reception, breakfast briefings, boardroom meetings, hosted luncheons and branded breaks.

EXHIBITION FLOORThe Toronto Hilton Convention Suite is a self-contained network of rooms and meeting spaces at the heart of which is the exhibit area. The exhibit is located outside the main conference, lunch and meeting rooms. It is the location for registration, breaks, lunches and the drinks reception.

ONE-TO-ONE MEETINGS SERVICEFor our major sponsors we arranged private, one-to-one meetings with key mining contacts. The meetings take place in relaxed, private, catered meeting spaces that enable dialogue and interaction between potential project partners. This is a key feature for our leading sponsors as it provides direct access to key mine decision-makers.

EVENT APPThe World Congress is enhanced by a networking app that allows participants to interactand connect with each other, the sponsors and the speakers. The app also facilitates the real-time sharing of thoughts, ideas and experiences. At the last World Congress, over 1,800 messages were sent and received among the attendees.

TESTIMONIALS

WORKSHOP LEADER

AN ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION TO MINING FOR RENEWABLES PROFESSIONALS

Scheduled to take place on December 9th at the Hilton Toronto, the aim of this workshop is to provide energy professionals with a comprehensive understanding of the mining industry. Participants will learn about the fundamentals of the operational practices pivotal to the mining industry. Participants will be taught essential terminology and be provided with a clear understanding of the key concepts involved. Mining professionals will also benefit from having a broader understanding of the mine energy issues and how these relate to larger changes across the energy landscape.

"Arnoldus brings great insight into the world of mining and renewables and his workshop addresses key metrics of both areas while connecting mining and renewable energy specialists"

This course is essential for energy professionals currently involved, or who would like to be involved, in energy for mining projects. The workshop has been enjoyed by a cross-section of professionals involved in energy and mining.

At the completion of this course participants will be able to:

• Appreciate the significance of energy in the mining industry (grid tied & off grid)• Understand frequently used terminology• Describe the use of energy for open pit and underground mining methods• Understand the principles of mine design, planning, operation and closure• Understand the impact of energy on social (CSR) and environmental considerations• Understand the production chain of mining from processing to extractive metallurgy and from pit to port• Figure out and develop specific solutions based on benchmarking processes linked to relevant case studies• International network development with other professionals and former attendees of the 7 previous workshops

Dr. Arnoldus M. van den Hurk is a trainer in technical and financial mining education for energy professionals. He has a Ph.D. in Geology from Barcelona and Tubingen Universities and MBA from Madrid – Shanghai. He is the General Manager of r4mining and Director of REMIO (Renewable Energies and Mining International Observatory). For 30 years, Arnold has been an adviser and professional in geo-mining, renewable energy, and financial analysis. He has worked in Europe, South America, the Caribbean, Africa and China. He has wide knowledge and experience in the renewables and mining sectors. He is passionate about connecting these two sectors to improve the triple bottom line efficiency of mining, reducing uncertainties and risks and mitigating climate change. He also has extensive training experience in universities, business schools and companies around the world.

Carbon War Room

"Arnold's workshop in Perth, Australia provided members of SunSHIFT's engineering and business development teams with a comprehensive overview of the mining cycle in an open and collaborative environment. The workshop was wellstructured and well-delivered to a mixed group of mining and renewables professionals. With an enhanced understanding of performance metrics in the mining indus-try, SunSHIFT can now better articulate its offering to mining companies at all stages of the mining cycle."

"Your presentation was delightfully informative and relevant in describing the diverse mining processes and how they best integrate with renewable energy as well as supporting the clear business case for renewables in mining - the presentation opened my eyes to both the barriers and possibilities of renewables in mining and reinvigorated my motivation towards global carbon reduc-tion - much appreciated."

"What you presented was a very sophisticated yet practical review of the mining industry."

This year has seen the highest number of new renewables hybrids announced for mining clients with around a dozen projects currently public and several more in the pipeline. The primary driver for this increased activity is the economics of renewables that are now less expensive than diesel or gas in many locations. This session will showcase the very latest case studies from around the world.
