Mine Tours for Mine Rehab Conference 2017
This year we are pleased to have a number of opportunities to experience first hand current mine rehabilitation practices within the Hunter Valley.
We would like to thank the mines for their generosity in allowing access to their sites for conference delegates to observe in-situ best practices in progressive rehabilitation of open-cut coal mining operations. Below is the list of mine tours to be held at our 7th Annual Best Practice Ecological Rehabilitation of Mined Lands Conference (2017).

Hi-Vis is highly recommended. Please note that media organisations are by appointment only.
