The inaugural Meeting of the Mines event is being staged in Cloncurry from September 7 to 9.
Hosted by the Cloncurry Shire Council, the Meeting of the Mines will provide miners, research specialists, industry and government with a platform in which to explore the latest developments in the sector, with a strong focus on sustainable mining futures, innovation, technology, finance and investment and social responsibility.
Cloncurry Shire Council Mayor Greg Campbell said it was the perfect time for a Meeting of the Mines.
“New mining projects and a commitment by Government to the Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy places Cloncurry and the North West Minerals Province in a strong position to generate ongoing employment, and the materials the world needs as it moves towards Net Zero,” he said.
“Strong ongoing investment in our shire, backed by the Queensland Government’s 70 per cent renewable targets by 2032, means we’ve had strong interest in the event.”
Meeting of the Mines 2023 coincides with the Cloncurry Beat the Heat Festival and the Cloncurry & District Races, allowing delegates to make the most of their visit to the region.
