The National Mining Association (NMA), the MINExpo International 2020 sponsor, announced today that it is postponing MINExpo International 2020 until September 2021.

"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," the NMA said in a statement. "NMA 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, which will continually be updated as additional information becomes available.
