Debkumar Mallick, Takmaa, Kolkata, 5th April 2022: The Mining, Geological and Metallurgical Institute of India (MGMI), established way back on 16th January 1906, is one of the oldest professional bodies in the world. The Institute is having its headquarters and one of its branches in Kolkata and 18th Chapters throughout the country. Since its inception, MGMI has created a heritage of promoting the cause of the mineral industry providing inputs to the government and industries through its rich member repository of knowledge. In this process, MGMI organizes various events for the benefit of Earth Sciences& Mineral Industries. The biennial Asian Mining Congress, MGMI’s showpiece event, is one of such endeavors, being organized since 2006, its centenary year. As the world opens up post-Covid, MGMI is organizing the9th Asian Mining Congress during April 4 – 7, 2022 in physical mode at the BISWA BANGLA CONVENTION CENTRE & ECO PARK, New Town, Kolkata (WB), India, encouraging normalization. In tune with today’s Global Call the Theme of this Congress is kept as “Technological Advancements in Mining Industry: Status and Challenges”.
The objective of the Congress is to focus on Asia, the World’s largest continent, which is also the World’s largest producers of minerals. With huge area and diversity of geological set up in Asia, it is likely that every kind of deposit is present in this continent. The outlook for mine development is very promising and it plays a major role in the Global Economy to achieve its full potential.
The Congress will provide a forum for promotion and support of Techno-Scientific cooperation towards National and International progress in the areas for mineral production, in addition to the development of new opportunities of sustainable business that will benefit both Asian and World communities. It is expected that over 500 delegates from India and from various countries in Asia and other continents will visit the Congress and the Exhibition that is being held concurrently.
In this Congress, more than 58 Technical Papers will be discussed including 8 Keynote Addresses in 8 sessions. The Congress will come out with recommendations as guidelines for future use of the related industries. The Mineral Industry, likely to face various challenges would share some of the viewpoints.
In the 9th International Mining, Equipment, Minerals and Metals Exhibition (IME 2022) this year, with about 300 stalls from around the world, including from leading Indian industries, expect to have more than 10,000 footfalls from India and Overseas. The partner country and focus country this year are Germany and Australia respectively, with Gujarat as the partner state all being present with large participation. It is an ideal platform for display of equipment, products and technology innovations, to establish and renew international and regional networking, providing opportunities for joint ventures, investments and launch of new initiatives.
