Due to technical program restrictions, each author may present a maximum of two works in oral format (additional works may be presented as posters), and each company may present a maximum of three oral presentations (additional poster presentations are also allowed).
Due to data confidentiality concerns, authors from mining companies may choose to submit only an abstract, written in English, of 300 to 600 words, without the need to present the full article.
