Demand for critical minerals continues to grow rapidly as we undergo a global energy transition. The challenge: How do we as an industry rise to meet this demand?

AusIMM's fastest growing conference is happening this week at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from 2 -4 September 2025, attracting key figures from across the value chain. The conversation will continue around the significant role of mining as the world moves toward a more sustainable future.

What an incredible few days at the NZ Branch Annual Conference from 24-26 August! Covering technology, geology, mine planning, sustainability and health and safety, the event brought together professionals to share knowledge, strengthen connections and explore solutions to challenges.

Delegates heard from AusIMM President Chris Carr, The Hon Shane Jones, Minister for Resources and many more speakers in a packed program. Thank you to all sponsors, speakers, exhibitors and attendees for being part of a memorable event.
