Wednesday’s Welcoming Luncheon Keynote Speaker Former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer Chairman of the Board Stillwater Mining Company

Developing mineral resources in North America has never been more important. Resource nationalism and our dependence on critical and strategic metals from China, South Africa, Russia, etc. have hurt America’s economy and forced us into reliance on unfriendly and/or unstable nations. Many mining companies have learned the hard way how important it is to do business in safe geopolitical regions that respect the rule of law… read North America.

Industry Outlook Luncheon Keynote Speaker Andrea E. Neuman, Partner, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP Andrea Neuman was one of the lead trial attorneys representing Chevron Corporation in its recent racketeering trial against Steven Donziger, the lawyer behind a $18 billion fraudulent environmental judgment in Ecuador. Ms. Neuman will discuss how she and her colleagues built their overwhelming case against Donziger through years of investigative work, forensic analysis, and dogged litigation in over twenty U.S. court proceedings — culminating in a sweeping judgment finding Donziger and his allies to have committed fraud, extortion, and racketeering. Among the numerous scams uncovered was the hiring of Stratus Consulting (Stratus and former employees Doug Beltman and Ann Maest were among named co-defendants) to ghost write the report of a purportedly independent expert which was used by Donziger & Stratus to validate their baseless claims.

Mining and Exploration Hydrology Room: Bonanza A Area of interest: Environmental Chairs: Ronald T. Parratt, Project Hydrogeologist, Schlumberger Water Services, Reno, NV Mike Hardy, Water Resources Project Manager, Lumos Engineering, Reno, NV Session Description: Water can be a necessary resource and/or obstacle when it comes to mineral exploration and mining. While many of the mining and milling processes require large volumes of water, others mining operations require the extract and remove the resource before continue. Because of the importance of this resource, the topic of hydrology has become a critical component in many aspects of mineral exploration and mining. The Mining Hydrology Session plans to address many of the challenges associated with this resource and how these challenges are being resolved in the industry. The topics within mining hydrology include, but are not limited to, mine dewatering, groundwater modeling. Permitting (Water Pollution Control Permits), potable water, hydrological aspects of closure, contaminant transport, water rights, water treatment, slope depressurization, and pit lake characterization. Minerals exploration deals with water rights, conveyance, and availability issues. The proposed session will work to bring to center stage the important issues that surround the hydrological aspects of mining and mineral exploration. With the hydrology topic becoming a very important component within the mining sector, the information will be of value to mining professionals who attend.
