Keynote Speaker

presented by Ault, Progressive Reclamation

William Gowdy, a geologist with 35 years in the industry, will speak about progressive reclamation and its increasing importance. Reclamation is not only a legislative requirement in most jurisdictions, but it is frequently an important part of companies’ social license to operate. Progressive reclamation represents a “blank canvas” to become creative in developing alternative land uses and configurations.

Screening Problems from the field: Working Through Case Studies

Speaker: Alex Caruana, P.ENG, National Manager – Canadian Aggregates, Polydeck

While there is great value in general information, rules of thumb and pro-tips, this presentation relies on actual case studies to bring theory to life. By working through some actual case studies, we consider background, producer objectives, limitations and the actual issue at hand. Once all of this is understood, we work through each case step by step. Along the way, it is noted that there are multiple solutions, each with their own benefits and costs. At the end of each case, a re-cap is presented to both show the presenter’s solution, as well as give a chance for the audience to compare how they may have solved it differently.

11:30am - 12:15pm

Speaker: Dana Imbeault, Senior Director, Operations, NOS and CMCP, The Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR)
