A note of thanks from the Executive Committee

The 3rd International Congress on Planning for Mine Closure - Planning for Closure 2020 Executive Committee thanks the participation of more than 225 delegates from 20 countries who attended the congress, held from September 7 to 11 on a virtual format.

On this occasion, 54 presentations related to the developments, strategies and tools that allow the integration of mining planning from the initial stage of a project and throughout the life of a mine.

We are particularly grateful to:
• The authors, for their invaluable technical contributions and willingness to share their knowledge and experiences;
• The Directing Members of the Organizing Committee, especially to the Chair of the Congress, Jo Heyes, for her great contribution and enthusiasm;
• The Technical Committee, for their collaboration to the revision of papers;
• The Advisory Committee, for their contribution to promote the conference;
• The co-organizing institutions: Centro de Minería, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Chile; and SMI-ICE-Chile.
• The sponsors, for their generous support;
• Media partners, for their support in the dissemination of the conference and for the delivery of updated information to the public in a timely manner.


And last, but certainly not least, we would like to thank all participants for their contribution to the technical discussion of presented works, which contributed to the success of the 3rd version of Planning for Closure.
