Why South Australia?

The resources industry is constantly evolving, and relocating the Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) to Adelaide symbolises the shift in Australia’s mining landscape, especially as the industry strides towards a decarbonised, greener future.

Key mining stakeholders have been vocal about the need for a major mining event in South Australia to align with the growth of the state’s resources industry and the ramp-up in decarbonisation and creation of sustainable supply chains.

The move to South Australia represents an exciting new phase in the resources sector, as the state rapidly makes a name for itself as a key jurisdiction for the critical minerals essential to the world’s energy transition, including copper, uranium, graphite and zircon.

As South Australia expands its mining and exploration industry, the state is also driving the investigation of new solutions for decarbonised steelmaking, while its extensive renewable energy network and significant investment in hydrogen to power green steel distinguish it from other markets.

Alongside its slate of emerging and established  mining projects, South Australia’s investment in large-scale hydrogen and water projects make it an ideal market opportunity for exhibitors.

We are partnering with the South Australian Government to deliver a new era of AIMEX, one where key mining  companies, contractors and OEMs will descend on Adelaide to create a leading international event for future mining.

AIMEX offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with Australia’s largest community of mining suppliers and professionals in an environment that stimulates innovation and collaboration, allowing us to deliver a forward thinking mining event for the next generation of Australian mining.
