Dassault Systèmes Mining Executive to Keynote at SME’s 4th Annual Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference

Who: Andrew Pyne, Vice President Mining, Dassault Systèmes
What: Banking your Deposits – How Mining companies can realize radical, sustained improvements by driving variation out of their Operations
When: Tuesday, 26 April 2016 at 12:15 p.m.
Where: Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration’s (SME) Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference
Luncheon Keynote
Shearman & Sterling, LLP
599 Lexington Ave, New York, USA
Why: Productivity, inefficiency, cost containment, the need to innovate – all common themes in the dialogue in the mining industry these days. What is really at stake is ensuring mining businesses are sustainable in tough economies, and nimble enough to exploit opportunity as demand for resources fluctuates. After all, what does it really matter if profits move when commodity prices pick up if the fundamental problems, inherent in mining businesses, are not addressed? On even the best day, potential profit is being left on the table; on the worst, it means magnified losses. There is more potential profit, and greater shareholder confidence, to be gained if mining companies learn from successful transformations in other industries, whose leaders achieved stability and, through it, set the path to enterprise agility. Learn how mining companies can realize radical, sustained improvements by driving variation out of their operations. The talk  will shed light on how mining companies can deliver on the plans they define, and promises made to their stakeholders, by employing approaches and technologies proven in other industries.

Intended for senior executives and mining industry specialists including bankers, analysts, investors and engineers, SME’s Current Trends in Mining Finance Conference is a 3-day event focussing on important issues that affect mining finance, investment, raising capital, project finance, smarter use of data and Big Data, strategic planning and networking with colleagues and fellow professionals.
