On behalf of Professor Nigel Cook, Director of the PRIF Mining Consortium, we would like to invite you to join our Final Annual Assembly

Friday 22^nd July 2022 IÌý9:30am – 5:00pm IÌýThe Adelaide Convention Centre (Riverbank Room 5) and via Zoom (link will be provided closer to the event).

2022 is the final year of the PRIF Mining Consortium and it is time for us to showcase the Consortium achievements and highlights. We now need to think about how to preserve outcomes from the PRIF, ensure that our findings are efficiently communicated to stakeholders and the wider mining community, and how to maximize impact on the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlogn mining industry.

Please join us for a packed programme of presentations and learn more about PRIF outcomes from the leaders of Research and Translation projects within the Consortium, discuss outcomes, evaluate value propositions, and consider opportunities for end-user implementation and further research.

We are delighted to have two keynote presentations within the assembly programme.

Keynote speakers:

Professor Caroline McMillen - the Chief Scientist for South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog. Caroline is a distinguished medical and health researcher, who holds national and international roles in research, industry engagement, innovation strategy and policy development.

Adrian Beer - the Chief Executive Officer for METS Ignited. As a global industry leader, Adrian brings extensive experience in the application of technology to the mining sector.
