[ About Conference ]

The Mining 2006 Resources Convention is one of Australia’s most widely regarded events within the resources industry and it is anticipated this year’s event will be the most paramount yet.

The conference will run over three days, from 1 to 3 November (Welcome Function on Tuesday 31 October), and will include two Auditoriums covering topics such as Metals Outlook, Funds Management, International Outlook, Exploration in Australia and Junior Company Presentations.

The hub of the conference will be the 70 booth exhibition area where companies will be showcasing the latest they have to offer.

[ Minister’s Endorsement ]

Queensland’s dynamic mining industry is looking to the future.

Mining investment across Queensland is expanding at a record pace as the companies look to emerging market opportunities both within Australia and globally.

International investment in Queensland’s mining sector is also growing, with significant joint venture partnerships secured for the long-term benefit of our State.

Investing in mining technology, environmental rehabilitation, exploration and research are fundamental to our reputation as the Smart State, and continue to drive industry development.

The Queensland Government’s support for the mining industry is emphasised through a low tax regime, competitive labour costs, electricity prices among the lowest in Australia, partnerships in government and industry research, the establishment of world-class ports and decentralised road and rail networks.

As Minister, I’m pleased to welcome delegates to Mining 2006, and I look forward to addressing this important conference.

Hon. Geoff Wilson
Minister for Mines & Energy
