About 240 Freeport employees from around the globe attended the event to represent the company and connect with other industry leaders. This year\u2019s MINExpo featured more than 2,000 exhibitors from 148 countries, and the exhibit hall spanned more than 850,000 square feet of space.<\/p>\n
Hosted every four years, MINExpo is the National Mining Association’s industry tradeshow. The event gives mining professionals and vendors the opportunity to explore the latest strategies and products for engineering, health and safety, and more. This year\u2019s event marked the company\u2019s first participation since 2016 due to the COVID pandemic.<\/p>\n
Among the highlights at this year\u2019s MINExpo, Safford received the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 2024 Mine Safety and Health Technology Innovations Award. The award recognized Safford, Arizona, operations for implementing an automated copper cathode stripping machine, which helps reduce hazard exposure while making cathode sampling and labeling more reliable.<\/p>\n
