AusIMM’s Underground Operators Conference is coming to the Adelaide Convention Centre in 2025.

Together, the mining community will address the demand for more intelligent and cost-effective ways to extract orebodies and explore new technologies that are making it possible to mine at greater depths. Key discussion topics will focus on health and safety, mine ventilation, social licencing, technology, automation and the global journey towards net zero.

After the huge success of Underground Operators 2023, we are expecting 2025 to be bigger still, with mining engineers, operators, technical service managers and consultants from around the world congregating in Australia's City of Churches.

There will be an abundance of great opportunities to connect and share knowledge with industry experts and colleagues at Underground Operators 2025.

Scheduled tea breaks and lunches in the exhibition hall, along with a number of additional functions provide a unique chance to grow your professional network. Delegates can also explore the exhibition booths to meet with other organisations showcasing the latest technology, innovations, services and equipment in underground mining.

A challenge for underground mining in Australasia is the struggle to communicate a sense of what working underground really looks like. How can we shape the community view of what this work entails, the sizes and shapes defining the environment and the variety of people you meet underground?
