Pre-conference tours announced!
On behalf of AusIMM and the organising committee, we are thrilled to announce new professional development opportunities designed specifically for our Life of Mine delegates are now open for registration, with special member rates available.
Registered delegates are invited to expand their conference experience and get a sense of scale of the inner operations of a mine by attending one of two all-inclusive pre-conference tours, held on Tuesday 1 August 2023.
Our pre-conference tours have been selectively curated to be of interest to delegates, including international and national professionals.
