The conference will be held from March 7 to 9, 2005, at the Perth Convention Centre, Western Australia. The Conference will take place in connection with the Australian Centre for Geomechanics' 6th International Symposium on Rockbursts and Seismicity in Mines.

Conference themes include mining under high stress conditions; mining methods; safety; human resources; drilling and blasting; ventilation; filling; trucking; contracting; mine economics and; mine optimisation and business improvement programmes.
Abstracts of 300 words are due by April 23, 2004. Abstracts can be submitted to Angie Spry, Publications Coordinator, confvolume@ausimm.com.au
