The mining industry is currently experiencing earnings growth obstacles that intimidate daily business procedures, operations and the ability to meet demand that is rising exponentially.

LOAD & HAUL ASIA 2008 forum comes at a time when miners are compounded with the above challenges - translating directly to higher operational costs across the board. Constant operational challenges, including soaring fuel costs, constrained supply of skilled labour, shortages of equipment and tyres among other constitutes almost 60% of overall operational costs.

Escalating environmental constraints and over-stretched demand for haulage trucks and equipments are adding to the woes. Suppressing operational cost is the key priority for every mine owner and contractor. This forum will enable you to plan for short- Medium- to long-term strategies to overcome these hurdles.

Major themes covered in this forum include:
