Phalaborwa: Strike while the iron is hot!
MTE’s Phalaborwa Mining & Industrial Exhibition is back in town at Laerskool Phalaborwa Noord (Rooi Skool) between 13:00 and 17:00 on 6 June 2024. This is an intimate but impactful tradeshow.
MTE has tailored this exhibition to cater to the iron, copper and phosphate ore needs of the numerous open pit and underground mines in the area, targeting the specific needs of PMC, Palabora Mine Company. Andrew Macnamara, MTE operations director says, “We always have overwhelming support from the PMC and Foskor operations in the area.” However, exhibitors will also have an opportunity to meet key personnel from surrounding operations Mopane Mine, Bosveld Fertilisers, Rob 5 and more too.
The annual MTE Richards Bay Mining & Industrial Exhibition will take place at John Ross College between 13:00 and 17:00 on 13 June 2024.
The annual Richards Bay Mining & Industrial Exhibition is tailored to meet the needs of the surrounding mining industry and smelters; the agricultural sector and sugar milling in Empangeni in particular; the Richards Bay harbour and coal terminal and the paper and pulp sector in the area.
This MTE expo is different in that it targets a number of different sectors of the economy in the area looking for new tech to improve production to make them more competitive. The tradeshow is tailored to meet the needs of the surrounding mining industry and smelters; the agricultural sector and sugar milling in Empangeni in particular; the Richards Bay harbour and coal terminal and the paper and pulp sector in the area.
