SSIM 2023 | Perth, Australia
The third International Slope Stability on Mining Conference (SSIM 2023) provides a convention for mining practitioners, consultants, and researchers to exchange knowledge on state-of-the-art slope technologies.
The Introduction to Open Pit Slope Stability will be held 17-21 April 2023 in Perth Western Australia.
Ground Support 2023 | Perth, Australia
Ground Support 2023 will cover the latest developments and applications of ground support in mining where the objective is to mitigate rockfall. The series of events has evolved over the years to cover all areas of mining related ground support and provide a documented timeline of the significant advancements in ground support technology and practice in the last 38 years. These are reflected in the improved safety statistics and performance of excavations.
Abstract submissions are due April 14, 2023 via ProMPT

Geotechnical Design for Underground Metalliferous Mines Course 2023 | Perth, Australia
This course is designed to develop specific underground metalliferous mining geomechanics design competencies for engineers to enhance their contribution to mine site geomechanics programs. This course will benefit industry practitioners seeking to understand and explore the geotechnical aspects of the mine design process.
Introduction to Open Pit Slope Stability Course 2023 | Perth, Australia
This introductory ACG training course is to be presented by Professor Phil Dight. He brings together a wealth of experience to share with course participants.
This course provides a holistic big picture overview of geotechnical design and operational management processes; takes delegates sequentially through the various stages of the slope stability design process; covers operational issues related to managing open pit operations from a geotechnical perspective; reviews selected open pit failures and discuss how the geotechnical industry addresses stability problems in all parts of the world.
Case Studies of Managing Seismic Risks in Mines Seminar 2023 | Perth, Australia
Hear from Dr. Daniel Cumming-Potvin from the Australian Centre of Geomechanics, The University of Western Australia on Managing Seismic Risks in Mines Seminar. This seminar explores seismic hazard and numerical modelling, seismic model building for geotechnical design, design on a fit-for-purpose quarterly seismicity report for Vivien Gold Mine, and seismic source modelling from seismogram data and in WAVE3D.
Australian Geomechanics Society 2023 | Perth, Australia
The Australian Geomechanics Society event on the key pitfalls and important considerations when designing and working with open pit and slope design.
Hear from industry leader Ian de Bruyn (Principal Consultant, Geotechnical Engineering, SKR Consulting, Australasia Pty Ltd).
The hybrid event format allows for participation either in-person, or online from anywhere in the world.
Managing Seismic Risk in Underground Metalliferous Mines Course 2023 | Perth, Australia
Hard rock mines in deep and high stress environments often require the use of seismic systems to enable operators to manage seismic risk posed to the workforce, the mining investment and the environment. Seismic data is also used in assessing the rock mass response to mining activities where source parameters are used in the interpretation of rock mass failure mechanisms, the calibration of numerical modelling, and the interpretation of failure mechanics of the rock mass.
