Monday at the 26th World Mining Congress, Brisbane

On the first day of the Congress we explore:

  • Minerals policy requirements for the next 30 years.
  • Sand – the most mined mineral on Earth, and perhaps a critical mineral.
  • Sustainable concrete in an urbanising world.
  • The art of closure: Mines turning into physics labs, parks, pumped hydro.
  • First Nations perspective on mining closures and transitions – voices from Australia, Canada and Mongolia.
  • Plus state and federal ministers speaking.

Can mining walk and talk at the same time?

The future for our planet depends on it

Media welcome at 26th World Mining Congress in Brisbane starting Monday 26 June.

Humanity needs vast quantities of lithium, cobalt, copper, sand and many other minerals for a sustainable net-zero world.
