Mining and Energy Unite: AIMEX 2025 Moves to South Australia
In September 2025, the Asia-Pacific International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) will relocate to South Australia for the first time in its history. This strategic move signifies a new chapter for the event and showcases South Australia’s leadership in sustainable mining and renewable energy innovation.
AIMEX’s Historic Move
AIMEX is Australia’s longest-running mining event, renowned for supporting the latest industry developments. After a strong bid from the South Australian Government, AIMEX will now call South Australia home for the next decade. This relocation highlights South Australia’s growing prominence in critical mineral exploration and sustainable mining practices.
South Australia is at the forefront of global energy transition, with its vast resources of critical minerals such as copper, zircon, and green iron. These minerals are essential for technologies driving the energy transition and advancing decarbonisation efforts worldwide.

South Australia’s Renewable Energy Leadership
South Australia has emerged as a renewable energy powerhouse, attracting billions of dollars in large-scale projects and energy storage solutions. The state is also heavily investing in hydrogen projects to support green steel production and other innovative energy solutions.
John Murphy, CEO of Prime Creative Media, explained the importance of South Australia in this transformative era.
“South Australia is a world leader in renewables and the global transformation economy, and we’re proud to partner with the state to showcase the world-class change the resources sector is driving,” Murphy said.
The state’s renewable energy achievements position it as a global leader in combining resources and energy innovation, making it the perfect location for AIMEX’s next phase.
Mining and Energy Integration at AIMEX 2025
For the first time, AIMEX will heavily integrate energy into its program, focusing on the undeniable synergy between mining and renewables. This integration aligns with the sector’s push towards net-zero emissions and the adoption of cleaner energy technologies.
Hydrogen is expected to play a pivotal role in reducing emissions, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors like steel production. The mining industry is increasingly adopting electrification and decarbonisation initiatives, with South Australia leading this transformation.
AIMEX 2025 will serve as a platform to highlight these advancements, showcasing technologies and projects contributing to the energy transition.
