As we start 2025, and look ahead, the committee has multiple initiatives on the radar for the year, including:

Our flagship Study Processes Course

Back again this year, this course has something for everyone including investors, company directors, project managers and those involved in delivering studies. This year we will be offering the Monograph 35 - Study Processes Handbook at a discounted rate with course registration.

Mineral Consultants Handbook

Following the publication of the Monograph 34 - Mineral Consultant's Handbook and Mineral Consultants Recorded Webinar Series, is the self-paced course Mineral Consultants Fundamentals Series for those just starting out or seeking a refresher.

The next ConSoc Forum

Our enthusiastic steering committee is planning the next forum for our members. Find out more at the event webpage here. If you are interested to participate/present, please reach out to ConsultSoc@ausimm.com.au. Throughout this year we will be sharing the presentations with our membership through our newsletters.

Congress

Following Congress 2024, we are looking forwards to collaborating with other AusIMM COIs, whether this includes newsletter contributions, webinars or other initiatives.

We will share on our other initiatives as the year progresses. If you have anything to share or are interested in participating, please don’t hesitate to contact us via email at ConsultSoc@ausimm.com.au.
