Location
The Convention being held in the garden city Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka State, is one of Indias most charming cities. Founded in 1537 by a local Chieftain Kempe Gowda, Bangalore has changed dramatically over the years. His son Kempe Gowda II built the famous towers at the four corners of the old city. In 1638, Shahaji Bhonsle, the father of Shivaji captured the city. In 1687 Aurangzebs army captured the city and sold it to the Wodeyars for a paltry sum of 3 lakhs. In 1759, he built the famous Lal Bagh, one of Bangalores most beautifully laid out gardens. There are numerous not-to-be-missed sights in Bangalore like the magnificent Vidhana Soudha, sprawling Cubbon Park, Colourful Lalbagh etc. Adjoining it are the government museum and the industrial and technological museum. Today, it is Indias 5th largest city, the momentum of its industrial, commercial and IT growth is unequalled in the country. It is a city for all seasons. Come any time of the year Bangalore is beautiful. The uniqueness of Bangalore can be attributed to the open mind progressive nature of its citizens. The weather is the citys best feature, with pleasant summers and bearable winters. Bangalore has a moderate climate throughout the year due to its elevation. It is also blessed with a large number of lakes and parks within the city. The venue will be the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) Karnataka. Tropical cloths are required throughout the year. Light woolens can be worn during winter season.

Background
India is endowed with large mineral resources, especially iron ore, bauxite, coal, base metals, noble metals and diamonds. However, most of these resources are either underexplored or under exploited or both, for a variety of reasons. For achieving a high manufacturing growth rate as envisaged in the New Manufacturing Policy, the mining sector has to grow faster, and has to make higher contribution to GDP. To achieve these ambitious objectives, entire value chain of the mineral sector starting from reconnaissance, exploration, mining and beneficiation to the value addition downstream sectors have to be streamlined so as to attract investments from both domestic as well as international investors, particularly in strategic and deep seated minerals requiring state-of-theart technologies and risk capital. Regulatory mechanism has to improve to facilitate such investments and accelerated implementation. All these developments need to happen in a Sustainable Development Framework so as to ensure inclusive growth. In order to attract investment and technology FIMI is organizing a threedays Convention on Mining, Exploration Convention & Trade Show from 30 August - 1 September, 2012 at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bangalore with the support of PDAC. The Ministry of Mines has sponsored the Convention. The Convention will provide a unique opportunity for various stakeholders involved in the mining value chain policy makers, exploration agencies, mining companies, regulatory agencies, technologists, economists, investors including people from abroad for intense deliberations and discussions.
