Acid and Metalliferous Drainage (AMD) Workshop

With the aim of continuous improvement, the Organising Committee is updating the format of this event to enhance its relevance to the mining sector.  We are pleased to announce we have secured several talks from prominent industry representatives from our previous call for expressions of interest (EOI).

 

Call for abstracts are now open for the upcoming AMD Workshop. 

• Source control in waste management (waste rock and tailings) 
• Managing AMD from underground mines  
• Reprocessing of waste to reduce AMD risk 
• Management of pit lakes to improve water quality outcomes 
• Advances in techniques to characterise and minimise AMD risks 
• Application of methods to assess large geochemical data sets 

Timeline

• 30 May 2025: Abstract submission deadline 
• 15 June 2025: Abstract decision notification 
• 30 July 2025: Extended abstract submissions due 
• 29 August 2025: Abstracts review finalised  

Please email your abstract (up to 300 words) to amdworkshop@nectarcc.com.au or click the button below.

The Organising Committee are strongly focussed on contributions that advance knowledge and practical improvements for decreasing the impacts of AMD at legacy and operating mine sites across the globe.  

Please note that several of the available presentation spaces will be offered by direct invitation from the Organising Committee. This aims to move the workshop more towards the highly successful MEND workshop format held annually in Vancouver.  

Once the program has been notionally formulated, abstracts only (up to a maximum of 4 pages in length) will be requested from the accepted contributors.  Full papers are not required. 

High quality abstracts that cannot be accommodated as full oral presentations in the new two-day workshop format will be considered for shorter presentations and / or inclusion in the workshop digital proceedings.
