Recorded in Adelaide as part of AusIMM’s Thought Leadership Series, this five-part discussion brings together leaders from BHP, CSIRO, Sedgman, the South Australian Government and AusIMM to explore Australia’s copper opportunity, the complexity of future project delivery and the professional capability needed to support the sector’s long-term competitiveness.

As global demand for critical minerals grows and the world accelerates toward clean energy, open dialogue across the mining community has never been more important.

The conference will bring together leaders from industry, finance and government to explore the next steps toward a net zero future.

Strong standards start with capable teams. AusIMM’s industry‑designed online courses help mining organisations build critical capability, reduce operational risk and support professional development hours across disciplines — from JORC and VALMIN reporting to tailings, ESG and mine operations. Tailored learning that delivers real‑world outcomes.
