New WA Mining and METS Partnership will Promote Resources Industry

WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Austmine and the WA Mining Club have signed a partnership agreement that will further progress the Australian resources sector.

Austmine, Australia’s leading METS industry organisation, has recently signed an Associate Partner agreement with the WA Mining Club.

Austmine CEO Christine Gibbs Stewart said the partnership offered the WA mining industry further insight into the technology advances and innovation taking place right on its doorstep.

“We are delighted to be working more closely with the WA Mining Club.  The synergies between our organisations provide a valuable opportunity for members from both associations to share sector knowledge and continue to build a globally advanced and sustainable mining industry,” Ms Gibbs Stewart said.

“As an Associate Partner, Austmine will work alongside the WA Mining Club to broaden the reach of the mining community and provide solutions to major challenges impacting the sector both now and into the future. The Austmine 2021 Conference and Exhibition being held in Perth from 25-27 May this year will provide an excellent opportunity to explore new and innovative solutions and we look forward to welcoming WA Mining Club members to the event.”

WA Mining Club Vice President Craig Hook said WA Mining Club Members “recognise the power of networking and that sharing ideas to improve the sustainability of the mining industry is good business – partnering with Austmine will further strengthen idea sharing in METS.  The WA Mining Club has grown by actively promoting the inclusion of entrepreneurs, women, young professionals and indigenous businesses to leverage the benefits of this diversity.”

The WA Mining Club was established in 1972 and offers members the opportunity to meet other industry professionals and discuss topical issues, challenges and innovations with others across the spectrum of the Western Australian mining industry.

Members include leaders from mining companies and associated industries, professionals including geologists, engineers, metallurgists, accountants, economists, lawyers, journalists, government representatives, university researchers, technical representatives, and equipment suppliers.
