The APAC Mining Games (APACMG) is the largest interstate event in Australia for students studying mining and mineral processing related degrees.

The Mining Games exist to commemorate those who lost their lives in the 1972 Sunshine Mine Disaster in Idaho USA, and to keep traditional mining techniques alive.

Over two full days of competition, participate in events like track and set, muck and cart, swede saw, airleg drilling, hand-steel, blast board, survey, and gold panning. Network with colleagues, then celebrate with an Awards Dinner. 

Additionally, the APAC Mining Games will provide students and professionals the opportunity to meet and network with industry professionals from across the country. 

The 2025 event will be held in Perth, Western Australia, following the New Leaders Summit.

To attend the APAC Mining Games, you must be:

• A member of an AusIMM Student Chapter (for student teams); OR
• An AusIMM member (for industry teams).
