The Western Australian Mining Conference and Exhibition is set to return to Perth in 2025, bringing together some of the biggest names in resources innovation.
The global mining industry can collectively agree that Western Australia has a world-class resources industry, covering a diverse range of minerals and energy.
Iron ore, gold, alumina and nickel are just a handful of the more than 50 minerals unearthed right across the state – and they are all are vital to one industry or another.
These minerals are extracted by some of the largest mining companies in the world and exported through world-class ports among the busiest operations known to the industry.
Despite the immense mining activity undertaken across WA, much of the state is still largely undeveloped when it comes to mineral exploration, making it the perfect meeting place for the industry’s rich legacy, and the next generation of mining might.
Recognised as a leading industry event, the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition (WA Mining) serves as a key platform for the exploration of innovations that are transforming the mining and resources industries.
The event will feature a dynamic exhibition showcasing the latest advancements in areas like productivity and sustainability, alongside an in-depth conference where industry experts will address the challenges and opportunities shaping the sector.
Delegates can expect insightful case studies and discussions on the most pressing challenges and opportunities affecting mining operations across the country, with a honed focus on the inner workings of the heart of Australia’s mining industry – WA.
Prime Creative Media mining events marketing manager Rebecca Todesco shared her enthusiasm for this year’s event, following an outstanding turnout in 2024.
“Last year’s WA Mining achieved its highest attendance yet, with over 3000 participants,” Todesco said. “Nearly half of those attendees were key decision-makers with purchasing power.
“This incredible response has inspired us to elevate the 2025 event even further, providing an unmatched opportunity for industry professionals to connect and collaborate.”
The rapid digital transformation of the mining sector has prompted leading companies to secure their involvement early. Big industry players such as Komatsu, Blackwoods, Denver Technology, Martin Engineering, Pinnacle Hire and VIPER Metrics have already confirmed their participation for 2025.
As mining continues to evolve, WA remains an industry powerhouse. Todesco noted that 92 per cent of 2024 attendees were from the state.
“By hosting this event in Perth we’re bridging the gap between the country’s biggest mining region and businesses nationwide,” she said..
The WA Mining Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from October 8–9.
