There are emerging technologies in the mining supply industry which are helping increase production.

Several locally-based mining supply and services companies will showcased during the North America Mining Expo set for August 19th and 20th in Copper Cliff.

Executive Director of the Sudbury Area Mining Supply and Services Association (SAMSSA), Dick DeStefano says it’s a chance to change perceptions about modern mining.

During the two-day Expo, a new conference will focus on Modern Mining Technology, including reps from several local companies.

It will be held August 19th from 10am until 2pm in the upstairs hall at McClelland Arena.

The trades show will provide mining supply and services companies an opportunity to raise their respective profiles and showcase what they offer.

DeStefano says all this underground technology is modernizing the mining industry and helping increase production for mining companies which use it.

He says when people think about mining they tend to forget about mining supplies and services, but he hopes the exposure from the expo will change that.
