The Future of Mining Australia and MiningNews Select conferences are set to take place at Crown Perth on June 16–17, 2026, bringing together more than 2,000 industry participants, including over 500 mining executives and 100 speakers. The dual event will spotlight critical operational, market, and geopolitical factors influencing the global resource sector, while industry leaders discuss strategies for navigating a rapidly changing mining landscape.
Featured sessions will explore defense-related metals, AI and connected mining technologies, international investment frameworks, startup innovation, supply chain resilience, and workforce development. The conferences are backed by the extensive editorial expertise of Aspermont’s publications, including Mining Magazine, Australia’s Mining Monthly, MiningNews.net, and Energy News Bulletin.
As the world transitions to cleaner energy and increased electrification, the demand for critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements is surging. These minerals are essential for batteries, electric vehicles, and defense technologies. The conference will address how Australia can secure its position as a reliable supplier amid geopolitical tensions and supply chain vulnerabilities. Intelligent automation, including AI and connected mining technologies, will also be a key focus, as companies seek to improve efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.
International investment frameworks will be examined to attract capital for new projects, while startup innovation will be highlighted as a driver of new solutions. Workforce development remains a pressing issue, with the industry needing to attract and retain talent in a competitive labor market. The conferences aim to provide actionable insights for executives and decision-makers.
