The National Mining Association (NMA), the MINExpo INTERNATIONAL^® 2020 sponsor, announced today that it is postponing the event, the world’s largest mining-focussed equipment and technology convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada every four years, from the planned dates of September 28-30, 2020 until a to be announced new set of dates in September 2021.

The statement said: “Because NMA’s highest priority is the health, wellbeing and safety of exhibitors, attendees, stakeholders and their respective families and colleagues, as well as event partners in Las Vegas, the COVID-19 pandemic has made holding MINExpo in September 2020 impracticable.”

NMA says it is “working with our event partners to identify and secure the necessary exhibition facilities and hotel accommodations in Las Vegas for a successful MINExpo INTERNATIONAL^® 2021. Once logistical arrangements have been confirmed, new dates will be announced.”  Further information about MINExpo will be posted on the MINExpo website www.minexpo.com, which will continually be updated as additional information becomes available.
