A RECORD-BREAKING CELEBRATION

PNG EXPO 2025 PROVIDED AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR MINING INDUSTRY PEERS AND DECISION MAKERS TO COME TOGETHER.

- 

The PNG Industrial and Mining Resources Exhibition and Conference (PNG Expo) saw its largest-ever attendance in July, with more than 560 delegates joining the two-day event at the Stanley Hotel in Port Moresby.

Attendees were able to meet, greet, and network with peers from across the industry, while hearing from sector experts and expanding their knowledge on the latest products and services available in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

The event attracted representatives from industry majors, including Harmony Gold, K92, Newmont Lihir, Ok Tedi, St Barbara, PNG Power, and the Mineral Resources Authority, proving that PNG Expo provided an important decision-making platform.

Alongside the exhibition floor, attendees were invited to learn from sector experts and build their knowledge on the latest products and services.

A comprehensive conference program saw panel discussions tackle key issues such as training and staff retention strategies and how companies have leveraged innovation to make a name for themselves in PNG.

Alta Safety head of design Simon Hughes and height safety expert Zero Murray shared the stage for one particularly well-received session on the financial aspects of mine safety. They explained how well-thought-out measures can drive productivity and efficiency on mine sites and ultimately lead to greater cost savings for businesses.
