The mining industry is gearing up for a pivotal event in 2025, as the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) releases its agenda, promising to reshape the sector’s trajectory. Following a record-breaking 2024 event, which saw over 9,000 delegates from 120 countries converge, IMARC 2025 is set to build on this momentum, focusing on strengthening supply chains, optimising costs, and driving productivity.
The conference will tackle these themes through six concurrent streams over three days, each delving into critical aspects of the mining ecosystem. The Energy Transition and Decarbonisation stream will explore how the industry can reduce its carbon footprint, while the Digital Transformation stream will examine the role of technology in enhancing operational efficiency. Meanwhile, the Mining Innovation stream will showcase cutting-edge advancements, and the Mine and Project Development stream will provide insights into accelerating project timelines. The Mines & Money Investment Stream will focus on accessing capital, and the Global Opportunities stream will highlight international trade and investment prospects.
IMARC 2025 is not just about discussing challenges; it’s about driving action. The event will delve into how to de-risk supply chains, leverage new technologies, and foster collaboration to drive productivity and decarbonisation. As IMARC’s Managing Director, Melissa Williams, puts it, “IMARC 2025 is about mobilising the mining ecosystem for shared prosperity. It’s about finding, funding, and fast-tracking mining projects, and driving technological advances and adoption.”
The conference will also emphasise the importance of sustainability and circularity. Sessions on developing sustainable mines and championing circularity through reducing, reusing, and recycling resources will be at the forefront. This focus on sustainability is not just about environmental responsibility; it’s about ensuring the long-term viability of the mining industry.
Moreover, IMARC 2025 will explore the continuous quest for value, balancing productivity and operational excellence with cost efficiency. This is a critical discussion, given the industry’s current challenges and the need for innovative solutions.
The event will also provide a platform for global opportunities, with a focus on trade and investment. This is particularly relevant given the current geopolitical climate and the need for the mining industry to navigate these complexities.
Mining.com.au will be in attendance once again, providing live coverage and insights from the event. Official registration for IMARC 2025 will open in the next few days, and interested parties can register their interest here. For more information, attendees can write to [email protected].
IMARC 2025 is more than just a conference; it’s a call to action. It’s a chance for the mining industry to come together, share ideas, and drive change. It’s an opportunity to shape the future of the sector, and it’s an event that Mining.com.au will be watching closely.
