GEOCON is the annual conference for geoscientists and other related experts to discuss current research findings and technologies from the various fields of geosciences including energy and mineral resources, geohazards and tectonics, among others. The scientific program will consist of keynote speech, plenary talks, and parallel sessions with oral and poster presentations.

Presentation of recent advances in geophysical exploration, mine tailings management and disposal, and an update on the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code 2020. An open forum will also be conducted to address questions from participants and further discussions on particular subjects that are of interest to participants.

The PMRCC 330.1 Webinar aims to delve into the intricacies of pastefill design and its financial implications, specifically focusing on capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) in accordance with the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code. This webinar is tailored to cater to the technical personnel of mining operations and related industries, emphasizing the significance of conducting meticulous testwork, optimizing design parameters, and thoroughly evaluating the CAPEX and OPEX requirements. By employing these methodologies, attendees will gain insights into the development of a highly efficient and economically viable paste fill solution.

Seminar on the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code (PMRC) 2020 and its implementing rules and regulation, discussion on the accreditation system, GSP code of ethics, PMRC updates, and a lecture on the Basics and Proper PMRC Reporting of Nickel Laterite Deposits.

Objectives: Inform mid to upper-level geologists, mining engineers and metallurgical engineers and other mining professionals of the essence of the PMRC 2020 Edition and to encourage geologists, mining engineers and metallurgical engineers to apply for accreditation into the PMRC. The lecture on the nickel laterite deposits will be important in understanding such mineral deposit and how to make PMRC-compliant report on this type of mineral deposit.

Theme: "Strengthening Metallurgical Practice through Institutional Collaborations and Partnership"

The conference is a gathering of stakeholders in the metals and minerals industry. This year, the event highlights industry practitioners by providing them the platform to share industry practices, advocacies, and other technical seminars. The 2-day event will be hybrid where participants may attend the physical event at MSU-IIT or remotely via Zoom webinar. The program schedule is as follows:

1. October 20, 2022, Thursday

 Company Talks | PMRCC Program

2. October 21, 2022, Friday

 Industry Talks | Q4 Technical Forum

Discussion of the challenges in the comminution as they are effectively communicated by the technical expert practicing in the relevant field of mining and mineral processing.

PSEM will be spearheading the Minerals Industry Symposium which will take place on the 2nd day of the conference. The Minerals Industry Symposium is a whole-day event virtually bringing together experts and resource persons to stimulate discussion of recent government policies/issuances and leading mining engineering practices/initiatives in the promotion of occupational safety and health, sound environmental management, and social responsibility in the minerals industry, amidst the concern of the global health crisis.

This program takes up the processes and procedures which are done in the metallurgical testing of copper ore, from sampling to sample preparation, various types of copper ores and the extractive metallurgy involved and finally the chemicals used in flotation, the most dominant mineral processing step in the beneficiation of copper.

  • Know the procedures in the preparation of copper ores for metallurgical testing
  • Know the types of copper ores and the Metallurgical Tests involved
  • Know the various reagents used in copper flotation

Keynote and Plenary talks about empowering metallurgical engineers as they forge through the pandemic plus research output of advances and developments in metallurgical engineering and allied fields through parallel presentations in mineral processing, extractive metallurgy, physical and applied metallurgy and materials science and engineering.

An introductory course on the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code. Open to all geologists, mining and metallurgical engineers aspiring to become a Competent Person to sign exploration results, mineral resources and ore reserves reports as well as any professionals in the mining and minerals industry.

Familiarize yourself with the basic parts of a mining feasibility study and learn how to organize a feasibility study team and create a project table. 

This is a webinar for CPs, Would-be CPs and People Interested to know about the different regulatory reports required by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.

This is a webinar for CPs, Would-be CPs and People Interested to Know Ethics, Professional Responsibilities and Liabilities of CPs.

This webinar will provide current strategies for assessing and monitoring slope stability for all mines and other large excavations.

This webinar explains the basic concepts and relevance of Geostatistics in Mineral Exploration and Mining.

Learning Outcomes:

  • you will get the meat of Lean Six Sigma and how these practitioners think
  • you will be able to jump-start your digitalization effort the simple and cost-efficient way
  • you will be able to know how to exactly leverage business process management innovations to propel your digitalization efforts

In our current rapidly evolving environment, the roles of engineers have changed and and the paradigm of engineering shifted. The technical aspect remains the core of engineering but essential skills have become as equally important. This webinar provides an overview on the essential skills that will help you excel in your engineering career.

Engineers Without Borders - Philippines invites you to a webinar with presentations from Dr. Sandeeka Mannakkara, Mr. Shankar Neeraj and Engr. Dexter Lo on the build-back-better approach towards post-pandemic recovery and building a world that will be more resilient and sustainable through engineering.
