Why Should I Attend?

Uranium mining is presently a hot topic in the industry because of the global increase in demand for energy and its cleanliness to the environment. Though international pressures and local legislations make it difficult to break into the industry, this has not discouraged companies from exploring uranium deposits. Uranium enrichment in South Africa is predicted to produce at least 5 000 jobs over the next 5 years because of the global nuclear renaissance which makes uranium mining a topic worth delving on.
