MINEX Russia Forum was founded in 2005 as an independent, impartial international event platform, not connected with the interests of individual companies and organisations. The Forum is dedicated to discussing the problems and development prospects of the mining industry. The Forum offers opportunities for presentation and exchange of views, experiences, and technologies.
The Forum is open to participants from both public and private sector organisations, as well as international communities and academic institutions. When we prepare the Forum agenda, we make every effort for creating balanced, without any preferences, presentations of experiences, opinions, and knowledge of subsoil management. Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything the MINEX Forum does.
