Our goal is make the 2018 CTMF program as rich in content as the 2017 event. The link  here  is to a 4 page Flyer about the 2017 Conference. This year the audience included more than 220 officers from 18 countries, with 35 mining companies attending. In total at 2017 CTMF events were about 280 key industry people attending the workshops, conference, receptions and dinner. There were 21 panels or round table discussions in 2017.
