After a sold-out show in 2024, WA Mining Conference and Exhibition (WA Mining) will return to Perth from 8–9 October 2025, once again transforming the city into the focal point of mining for two days.
With WA being a powerhouse of Australia’s resources sector, the strategically located event attracts key players from the state’s mining industry in one convenient location.
Building on the success of last year’s event, 2025 is taking things up a notch, delivering more thought-leading content, key exhibitors and significant players than ever before.
Dredge Robotics commercial manager (west coast) Barry Steed said the company had been able to connect with big mining companies who were interested in its tech.
“We’re pretty well established in the WA market across the bulk of the miners, but you come to these shows and there’s always someone new and different,” Steed said.
“It’s a good way to condense a lot into a fairly short period of time.”
Blackwoods national account manager Luke Bodel said there was a lot of networking opportunities and people to talk to and connect with at the 2024 event.
“You very rarely get an opportunity to get everyone in the same room,” Bodel said. “Mining in WA and across Australia is very regional based – it’s very hard and costly to go see all of them.
“These events give you an opportunity to draw those people into one room to capture as much as you can, in a streamlined way to allow you to follow up later.”
RaptorTech co-founder and chief technical officer Aaron Lock said that the boosted exposure from events like WA Mining deliver in what can be a challenging marketplace.
“Brand recognition is really important, it’s about people knowing you’re there,” Lock said.
“We’ve got people that saw us last year – they’ve come back this year and they’ve seen how much our stuff’s evolved and are really interested in working with us.”
Attendees can secure their tickets now to lock in an exclusive early bird price. Organisers advice that they hurry as early bird tickets are limited, and WA Mining is slated for another sold-out show in 2025.
