Abstracts will be accepted until December 9, 2011.
For guidelines and requirements on submitting a paper abstract, visit the conference website at http://www.smmh2012.co.za/papers.htm.
The conference program includes technical sessions, workshops and exhibits and is intended for anyone involved with design, parameter setting, software supply, management, construction, operation and maintenance of structures for mining and materials handling.

Addendum (Sept 16) - Curious about that logo? The correlation is actually more simple and direct than it first appears. The word “steel” translated into Afrikaans is “staal,” hence the stylized type in the SAISC logo. Afrikaans is a derivative of Dutch and one of the most widely spoken of South Africa’s 11 official languages.
