Speaking to Mining Zimbabwe, MSU Association of Students in Mining President Ope Muranda said the launch will be officiated by ZINIRE President Renius Tirivabaya, accompanied by the Institute Vice President Omberai Mandingaise and the Secretary General Eng Chikwiri.
He mentioned that the students are determined to ensure a deeper understanding of the world of rock engineering for all students.
He also expressed that the forum’s launch will ensure students are prepared to come up with solutions to tackle the fall of ground in the artisanal and small-scale mining industry.
“We want the students in Mining to gain a deeper understanding of the world of Rock Mechanics as we try to find practical solutions to real-world rock mechanics challenges that Zimbabwe is facing in small-scale mines. The symposium will help students prepare for the future of mining as we delve deeper,” he said.
