Sustainable Mining
Driving Decarbonisation, Efficiency & Responsible Resource Management
5-6 May 2026
With increasing pressure to decarbonise operations, reduce water use, and improve overall efficiency, the mining sector is entering a new era of sustainability. This conference will explore the innovations, policy shifts, and operational strategies reshaping how mines are planned, operated, and closed—with a focus on reducing emissions, managing waste, and enhancing long-term social and environmental outcomes. Sessions will examine emerging technologies, regulatory frameworks, and case studies across key areas such as water treatment, tailings reprocessing, and ESG implementation. The program will showcase real-world examples and forward-looking strategies from operators, researchers, and stakeholders across Australia and beyond. Don’t miss your opportunity to connect with leaders building the next generation of responsible mining.
