organization with the objectives:
• to create awareness of the importance of minerals and reliable
mineral supply for the society
• to promote mining internationally by providing basic information
for the need for mining to the general public
THE WORLD MINING CONGRESS
• to obtain and make available a world-wide exchange of
information with respect to the development of mining science,
technology, economics, health and safety aspects of mining
operations and environmental protection.
• to support scientific and technical co-operation, with
international organisations in the field of mining of all solid
minerals and the development of natural mineral resources
• to facilitate exchange of non commercial mining and
mining industry related information among its members
THE WORLD MINING CONGRESS

• promoting active interaction and communication between
members of the International Organizing Committee of World
Mining Congress
