Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) 2025 opens on 23 September at Adelaide Showground in South Australia. The event runs through to 25 September and marks a new chapter by relocating to South Australia, where it will remain for the next decade.
AIMEX is Australia’s longest running mining show, with a history of supporting the mining industry’s latest trends and innovations. This move follows a strong bid from the South Australian Government and highlights the state as a leader in future-focused mining.
AIMEX 2025
Expanded Venue and New Verticals
The AIMEX 2025 will include more outsourced areas, which will provide outdoor areas to conduct live demonstrations and exhibitions. The new verticals that are presented by the event are Transformative Technology and a dedicated Research and Development Hub. These additions testify to the fact that the industry is turning towards innovation and it requires advanced technological solutions in its mining operations. The broadened plan provides increased points of interaction and stakeholders to communicate and work together.
Industry Participation and Networking
It will bring thousands of mining delegates to Australia and throughout the Asia-Pacific region such as Papua New Guinea. The three days will be a wide opportunity for networking, professional and business expansion. AIMEX links mining companies, contractors, suppliers and buyers in a professional setting whereby innovation and collaboration are encouraged. Stands are being bought quickly, meaning that there is a lot of support and excitement in the industry towards this historic event.
Programs and Conference Highlights
The AIMEX 2025 conference entails three phases full of educational talks and panel discussions on important themes in the industry. The official opening address will be given by the South Australian Minister of Energy and Mining, Tom Koutsantonis.
Some of the main topics that are covered in the programme include safety and workforce resilience, sustainability and decarbonisation, green iron and copper, workforce skills development, autonomous technologies and emerging commodities.
The topic of safety features is also the most prominent in the first panel, Safety reimagined: the future of safety standards, where the authors discuss the changing regulations of safety, technologies and risk management practices. There will be prominent speakers such as Charlie Paterson, the Executive General Manager of the Royal Flying Doctor Service SA/NT who will be the keynote speaker.
Other sessions emphasise digital changes in mining, including the combined presentation of Hitachi and Bengal Mining Company about developments in digital implementation.
AIMEX 2025 will be held from 23-25 September 2025
Innovation Stage and Technology Focus
Transformative mining technologies are emphasised in AIMEX 2025. One of the exhibitors (Sandvik) will present digital technologies, such as DeckMapp/WearApp, a cloud platform that enhances the maintenance of screen decks.
Another product offered by Sandvik is ACS-s, a new generation monitoring system, which identifies equipment anomalies in time to reduce downtime and avoid expensive failures. The technologies promote the decarbonisation and efficiency of the mining industry.
The innovation phase of the event will contain the presentations of industry visionaries who will talk about the future of mining and its topics, such as autonomous systems and sustainable practices.
The Research and Development Hub promotes the discussion of the government, producers, and researchers in order to facilitate improvement depending on the needs of the region.
Economic and Regional Impact
The shift of AIMEX to South Australia will support the developing resource industry of the state. South Australia is situated as the fastest emerging modern mining market in Asia-Pacific and targets responsible mining exploration and sustainable industrial solutions such as decarbonised steelmaking. Hosting AIMEX will be in line with these priorities and will provide a boost to the profile of the region as a mining innovation and investment hub.
