EMBRACING A NEW ERA

PROUDLY HOSTED BY AUSTMINE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUSIMM, THE GLOBAL RESOURCES INNOVATION EXPO 2025 IS SET TO SHOWCASE THE BEST OF MINING INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY.

- 

Since its first iteration two decades ago, the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX) – previously known as the Austmine Conference – has grown to become a leading industry innovation event.

An expo “by industry, for industry”, GRX brings people working across the global resources sector together to network, drive important conversations about the latest trends, and showcase cutting-edge innovation. Reflecting on the last 20 years, Austmine chief executive officer Christine Gibbs Stewart shed light on how GRX has evolved.

“Mining innovation was somewhat of an oxymoron 20 years ago,” Gibbs Stewart told Australian Mining. “The fact we were doing a conference involving technology and innovation in mining was new and rare, people weren’t really buying into the idea at the time. Fast forward to now, innovation is discussed in every boardroom and is part of every strategy.

“The use of technology such as machine learning and artificial intelligence is powering the mining industry forward in several ways, including increasing efficiency, productivity and safety, but also through sustainability and the global energy transition.”
