Saddle Brook, N.J., February 20, 2019 – Solvay will share its latest mining industry insight and expertise at the 2019 SME Annual Conference and Expo. At SME, Solvay will also debut a new digital platform, a first-of-its-kind offering for mining operations. The flagship event will occur from February 24-27 in Denver, Colorado, providing a forum for Solvay to share innovative ideas, best practices and research with other mining professionals and unlock new opportunities.
“A number of macro trends are impacting the mining industry, including the decline in available ore grades and sustainability challenges,” explained Chuck Price, executive vice president for Solvay’s Mining Solutions business. “To thrive in today’s operating environment, mines need more selective and tailored reagents to reduce their operational costs and impact on employees and the environment. They also need on-site applications support and tools that enable them to achieve and maintain optimal conditions in a dynamic environment. We help the mining industry do more with less, and support the industry in becoming a more sustainable and responsible source of the world’s metals and minerals through our reagents and expertise.”
