TUCSON, Arizona, May 8, 2015 – Hexagon Mining takes center stage at the 2015 CIM (Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum) Convention in Montreal, Quebec, May 10-13. The company’s mine safety solutions will be highlighted at this premier event hosted by the Canadian mining industry.

 "Safety is everything to our customers, which is why safety technology is integral to our products," said Hexagon Mining President, Hélio Samora. "Our life-of-mine solution is based upon integrating mine safety with mine planning and mine operations for safer, more productive mines. We look forward to presenting our vision of smart change to CIM attendees."

Hexagon Mining’s SAFEmine Collision Avoidance System (CAS) is world’s best proven CAS with the technology at work in more than 20,000 mining vehicles in over 45 surface mines worldwide. Attendees can get a first-hand understanding of these technologies at the session titled "Safety and productivity improvements through the use of a collision avoidance system" (Speaker: Todd Ruff; Room 513E CIM, May 13, at 10:30 a.m.).
