The company’s ambitious vision is for a fully integrated, largely automated mine-to-port operation within five years that will optimize all stages of the mineral extraction process, maximizing recovery rates while minimizing the mining footprint.

At 3 pm Pacific, Quadrem will present “Capture the Advantage: What do you need to be ready?” Led by Pete Torrenti, Vice President North America at Quadrem and Sean Samson, Vice President of Commercial Development at Kinross Gold, the session will present the ways leading mining companies are assessing supply chain readiness and charting roadmaps to reduce risk. This is a great opportunity to see how managers of natural resources companies are planning and acting today to ensure future success.
