The nominations are closed

Each year we celebrate excellence in the mining industry by inviting our readers to nominate people, companies or groups that they feel have demonstrated outstanding commitment to advancing the face of mining over the past 12 months.

Readers can nominate their clients, colleagues or even themselves for a variety of reasons. It could be for the development of a new technology, or the innovative application of an existing one. It can be for their involvement with a particular project that has seen amazing results, or for an initiative that has helped to change the industry's mind-set towards a certain challenge. It can be for their research efforts into areas such as safety or energy efficiency, or for their approach to environmental stewardship. The reasons are endless and extremely varied.

If you would like to make a nomination, please follow the link below. You will need to provide the name of the company/person and a short description of why they deserve an award. Nominations will close on October 27 and the shortlist will be announced, along with the final round of voting, in early November.
