WA Mining stands as a nation-leading platform for showcasing innovative solutions that are driving the resources sector.
One of Australia’s premier resources events, WA Mining Conference and Exhibition (WA Mining), is set to make its return in 2025, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers at the forefront of industry innovation.
The event remains a must-attend for professionals looking to stay ahead in an industry that is evolving at an unprecedented pace.
Alongside a comprehensive exhibition, the highly anticipated paid conference will once again feature renowned industry experts tackling critical sector-wide challenges and presenting case studies on the latest trends shaping the Australian mining landscape.
Prime Creative Media mining events marketing manager Rebecca Todesco expressed excitement about building on the achievements of the previous event.
“Our 2024 conference saw record-breaking attendance with over 3000 visitors, 48 per cent of whom held purchasing authority,” Todesco said.
“This motivated us to create an even bigger and better experience in 2025, facilitating meaningful connections between buyers, sellers and suppliers.”
With major corporations moving quickly to secure their role in the industry’s evolution, leading names such as Komatsu, Blackwoods, Denver Technology, Martin Engineering, Pinnacle Hire, and VIPER Metrics have already confirmed their participation in this year’s event.
Western Australia has long been the heart of the country’s mining industry and, in recent years, has solidified its position as a leader in innovation. Not just the beating heart of Australia’s mining industry, WA is widely recognised as a global leader in the resources sector, with a diverse range of minerals and energy commodities.
The state produces more than 50 different minerals, including iron ore, gold, alumina and nickel, all of which are essential to various industries.
Some of the world’s largest mining companies operate in WA, exporting these resources through major ports that are among the busiest in the world.
Despite the significant mining activity across the state, large areas remain underexplored, making WA both a centre of established industry expertise and a key frontier for future mineral discoveries.
The 2024 WA Mining event was a roaring success which, as Todesco highlighted, was dominated by local attendees.
“A remarkable 92 per cent of visitors coming from the state, showing WA remains a pivotal force in the mining industry,” Todesco said.
“By hosting the event in Perth, we’re strengthening ties between the country’s mining capital and businesses from across Australia.”
