Mining, Metals, and the Circular Economy – 29 October 2024 

The inaugural Mining, Metals and the Circular Economy conference is set to be a significant addition to IMARC 2024. This conference aims to provide industry stakeholders with a comprehensive understanding of the role, impact, and benefits of a circular economy within the mining industry’s supply chain. Attendees will delve into best practices in the mining and metals sectors, including the commercialisation of remining waste and the roles various stakeholders play in a circular value supply stream.

A variety of esteemed speakers will be presenting from Cobalt Blue Holdings, Centre Innovation and Circular Economy, Coreo, Materials Efficiency Research Group, CoTec, Sustainable Minerals Institute, Circular PV Alliance, and the Association for the Battery Recycling Industry. 

Key topics: 

• Insights from international and local experts with real-world applications of circularity. 
• Recognition of the commercial potential in repurposing waste materials. 
• Strengthening ESG and sustainability credentials. 
• Exploring the market opportunity of reprocessing tailings.

AROSE Mining & Space @ IMARC 

Curated by Australian Remote Operations for Space and Earth (AROSE), this conference is co-located with IMARC and focuses on the intersection of space exploration and mining innovation. It showcases requirements, capabilities, and collaborations between these two cutting-edge industries. 

Notable speakers include representatives from AROSE, DARPA, Vignelles Space, and SK Godelius.

NextGen Program

IMARC recognises the importance of encouraging the next generation to engage with the mining and resources sector. The NextGen Program is designed to inspire future workforce talent, facilitate career pathways, and promote talent retention within the industry. The 2024 NextGen Program features three impactful initiatives: 

NextGen Leaders: A three-day program for over 100 undergraduate, graduate, trainee, and apprentice attendees. It includes conference sessions, networking opportunities, and guided exhibition floor walks. 

NextGen Senior: A one-day program for year 9 and year 11/12 students, offering insights into career journeys within the mining and resources sector and featuring interactive activities and guided walks.

Indigenous Participation Program

IMARC 2024 takes place on Gomora, land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. The event acknowledges them as the traditional owners and pays respect to their elders. The conference welcomes back Indigenous Women in Mining and Resources Australia (IWIMRA) as its First Nations partner, alongside other key industry and community groups.  

The program includes: 

• First Nations speakers discussing environmental and cultural heritage challenges. 
• Exploration of how mining can boost employment, skills, and economic participation in First Nations communities. 
• Presentation of a unique artwork by IWIMRA Artist Leah Cummins, symbolising the relationship between First Nations communities and the mining sector.
