The Australian Centre for Geomechanics Hosts the 4th Annual Slope Stability in Mining Conference: October 27 – 29, 2025
The Australian Centre for Geomechanics is hosting the 4th International Slope Stability in Mining Conference located in Vancouver, Canada!
The conference will be from October 27 – 29, 2025 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The key events the ACG would like to highlight:
26 October 2025 | Instrumentation and Slope Monitoring and Implementation Workshop
27 October 2025 | WOmen in Mine Stability Networker
At the 4th International SSIM Conference, attendees will have access
to a
forum for open pit mining practitioners, consultants, researchers and suppliers worldwide to exchange views on best practice and state-of-the-art slope technologies.
Best practice with respect to pit slope investigations, design, implementation and performance monitoring will be discussed during the conference.
Themes at the 4th Annual SSIM Conference include:
– Slope optimisation – Application of three-dimensional limit equilibrium methods – Structural data gathering and interpretation – Slope monitoring and its interpretation – Risk management and operational safety – Slope stability in weak rocks and rock dumps
– Constructing geotechnical models – Bench design and implementation – Case studies – Rockfall and runout – Hydrogeology – Hydrology and blasting – Mine closure
Since 2005, the ACG has published technical conference papers across the geotechnical mining spectrum, including underground and open pit mining, paste, thickened and filtered tailings, and mine closure. In 2017, the ACG launched the Online Repository of Conference Proceedings.
It was established to make ACG conference papers more accessible to industry, academia, and government. The Online Repository aims to provide the mining geomechanics community with open access to these peer-reviewed conference papers that may assist readers to maintain and develop their skills, knowledge, and capabilities.
The Online Repository is home to over 2,732 open-access papers and has had over 2.404 million paper downloads since its launch.
