GARD Guide Rollout The GARD Guide has been garnering excellent response from the world-wide mining community. Over twenty presentations, including three short courses, have been prepared and presented or are scheduled during the latter part of 2010. The locations include Australia, Brazil, Chile, Europe, and North America. INAP appreciates the great support of our Global Alliance members is this effort.
Previous News Items: GARD Guide Update After a herculean effort by Keith Ferguson and others, a draft GARD Guide will be placed on the Wiki at the end of February 2009 for review and vetting. The official roll-out of the GARD Guide will be at the ICARD 8 on June 23, 2009. ICARD 8 June 22-28, 2009 were the dates of the ICARD 8.
