This year marks the 118th annual meeting of the Northwest Mining Association. The NMA has grown steadily to become a high point for mining engineering discussions in the United States, with strong keynotes, networking, sessions, short courses, and a busy exhibition space. Learn about new technologies, heap leach design advances, closure strategies, and much more. The NMA’s gathering takes place 2-7 December 2012 in Spokane, Washington. Learn more in the event brochure (updated 10/25/12) and visit the conference website for registration.
