AUSBIZ NEWS
GOOD NEWS FROM THE NORTH WEST MINERALS PROVINCE Running from July 12-14 in Mount Isa, the North West MPX is a new combined conference and expo for the mining and resources sector. This fantastic new event has grown out of the longstanding Minex. The theme for this year’s conference is “The North West Minerals Province, where good news stories keep coming.” This event will bring together representatives from mines across this diverse, rich and vibrant region of Queensland to exchange news, ideas and expertise. The conference will be chaired by Andrew Barger, the Policy Director of Economics at the Queensland Resources Council. Day one begins with welcome drinks and networking, while day two allows you to hear from speakers on topics such as reducing energy waste and women in manufacturing. Day three includes field trips to local sites to get acquainted with Mount Isa and The North West Minerals Province, and encompasses an underground tour of the Hardtimes mine and a visit to the underground hospital and museum. In the evening, delegates and sponsors can relax and network with the “Dinner and Footy” event at the Buchannan Park entertainment centre, to further develop connections and indulge in some friendly state footy rivalry.
For those looking to enter the mining and resource sector, there will also be a session on “Training, vocational education and upskilling,” where speakers from the industry will present on a variety of topics. This region boasts long-term successful mines and many exciting and dynamic exploration projects, providing new opportunities for those interested in the sector. The North West MPX website is constantly being updated with new speakers and sponsors, so check online for details and to book your tickets today.
