Austmine is Australia’s leading industry association for the Australian Mining Equipment, Technology and Services (METS) sector, driving the success of members by providing opportunities to build relationships, understand industry needs, boost their industry profile and access domestic and international supply chains. International Mining has long had a close relationship with Austmine, both editorially with Austmine itself and its members, but also in relation to events and conferences on both sides.
Last week during MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas, we formalised this cooperation with the signing of an MoU during Austmine’s Welcome Reception event on September 23 by International Mining Editorial Director Paul Moore and Austmine CEO Christine Gibbs Stewart, with International Mining Editor Dan Gleeson and Austmine Director – International Business, Robert Trzebski also present.
The primary goal of this collaboration is to foster growth and innovation in the global mining technology ecosystem through joint initiatives, cross-promotion, and the sharing of expertise. The objectives include further developing global networks, collaboration in mining innovation, and cross-promotion of key events.
Austmine will provide opportunities for International Mining to speak, moderate, or chair sessions at GRX25 and Copper to the World 2025 while International Mining will promote these events through advertising. Both parties will actively participate in each other’s events, including International Mining’s The Electric Mine, enhancing visibility and fostering collaboration within the METS and mining sectors.
Austmine and International Mining will also contribute to each other’s media platforms to promote industry advancements and thought leadership. This includes the publication of joint articles and features, cross-promotion of events, and participation in each other’s editorial content. By working together, both organisations will amplify the global profile of the Australian METS sector and promote key technological innovations.
Austmine and International Mining will also collaborate on thought leadership initiatives, sharing insights and expertise on industry trends and innovations. This will include joint presentations, panel discussions, and publications aimed at driving innovation in the global mining sector. Austmine will bring its knowledge of the Australian METS sector, while International Mining will provide global industry coverage and insights.
Finally, both organisations are committed to advancing sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) practices within the mining industry. Austmine will work alongside International Mining to promote events and initiatives like The Electric Mine conference, which focus on decarbonisation and the electrification of mining operations.
