The Mineral Resource Evaluation Conference 2025 (MRE25) will bring together geoscientists and other professionals to discuss the status and future of resource evaluation and share case studies. Session topics will showcase leading practice and advancements in sampling/quality assurance and quality control (QAQC); geological modelling; geostatistical estimation and simulation; predictive geometallurgy; inputs into reasonable prospects for economic extraction; project risk analysis; grade control and reconciliation; and resource reporting (inc. Environmental, Social and Governance [ESG] matters).
It will promote the exchange of information through keynote presentations, regular presentations, poster presentations and a panel discussion. Pre- and post-conference workshops are planned for 30 September and 3 October.
Topics covered within this conference include:
How do we collect and maintain representative samples across the mine value chain?
Limitations of current estimation techniques
Learning from past failures to improve future practice
How do we ensure estimates are clearly and accurately communicated to end-users?
Considerations of reasonable prospects for (eventual) economic extraction
Quantifying and communicating variability in resource models
Optimal mine grade control and reconciliation
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
The Conference will be of interest to all those who work on Mineral Resource Evaluation across the mine value chain. It will be relevant to practice in the following domains: exploration geology, resource development, resource estimation/geostatistics, and mining/production geology. Those that work across industry, consulting and academic sectors are encouraged to attend.
Dr Simon Dominy – Snowden Optiro / Camborne School of Mines
Prof. Hylke Glass – Camborne School of Mines
Helen Oliver – Endeavour Resources
Dr Belinda van Lente – Hummingbird Resources
