Information
International Mining Forum Sponsors: 
The International Mining Forum was first held in 1998. The Forum is a meeting of scientists and professionals who, together with the organizers, establish ambitious aims to confront ideas and experiences, evaluate implemented solutions, and discuss new ideas that might change the image of the mining industry. The International Mining Forum is an event accompanying the School of Underground Mining, organized since 1992 under the auspices of AGH - University of Science and Technology and the Mineral and Energy Economy Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The motto of the School is the beautiful thought of professor Boleslaw Krupinski, a scientist well known in the world's mining community, the founder and organizer of International Mining Congresses. It goes as follows: ‘Miner always was, is and will be a man of technical and social progress, because only progress, infinite perfection of social and technical work conditions, allows a miner to discover the secrets of the Earth, to explore its treasures, to conquer them for the common benefit, to reverse the dangers, which are caused by nature, to provide the country with forces of nature'.
For another time a complete set of papers presented at the International Mining Forum will be published by the prestigious Balkema AA Publishing House, owed by Taylor and Francis, London.
The major themes of IMF 2008 will be: - Economic Evaluation & Risk Analysis of Mineral Projects, - Mining in the 21st Century - New Problems and Solutions, - New trends in coal mine methane (CMM) - recovery and utilization.
A special guest of the IMF 2008 is going to be Mr. Trevor R. ELLIS - the outstanding specialist mineral asset valuation, who will be keynote speaker at the conference. Mr. ELLIS is the founder and leader of the Extractive Industries Task Force of International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC) ant an active member of AIMA - American Institute of Minerals Appraisers. We believe that the international meeting of miners in Orle Gniazdo, close to the old royal city of Cracow, together with special visit to one of the most beautiful world's mining monuments - Wieliczka Salt Mine, has its deep meaning and will be an unforgettable memory for those who value traditional miners' friendship and solidarity'.
