ALTA 2020 Online is a world-class annual metallurgical conference, celebrating its 25th year, and a leading platform for innovation. The emphasis of the carefully crafted program is practical rather than academic, and the themes running through the conference are the various aspects of technology and project development. ALTA conferences are well-known for providing exceptional opportunities for the industry to share ideas, innovations, technologies and projects, and develop new contacts and broader networks.

ALTA is pleased to partner with CSIRO Mineral Resources for the In-Situ Recovery Conference (ISR) and Curtin Gold Technology Group for the Gold-PM Conference. The Uranium-REE and ISR Conferences, and Uranium short course are organised in co-operation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The program will be presented 8:00am to 5:30pm in Perth time (AWST) but is designed to be accessible to participants from all time zones.  Presentations, panel discussions, short courses and webinars will be available for on-demand viewing from the day of presentation until March 2021.  Download conference program
