Global Mining Opportunities
Austmine proactively seeks out information on the latest developments in offshore markets, new mine developments and industry trends through government allies, an active program of trade missions, meetings with mining companies to learn about their offshore expansion plans, and collating and linking to a range of secondary sources. Members are informed of these opportunities through the website, Export News and at networking events, as well as through trade mission participation.
Promoting Australian METS Internationally
Austmine is well recognised and respected, and as such attracts a high-level of attention when involved in offshore promotions. Drawing on this strength, Austmine regularly participates in overseas trade exhibitions and offers members a cost-effective way to raise their profile internationally.
Austmine’s quarterly Export News, which is sent to over 1000 international contacts, is a powerful tool in showcasing member capabilities and providing exposure to overseas mining companies. The key focus of Export News is to promote awareness of the world’s best innovation and technologies available from Austmine members.
Austmine Directory
Austmine’s annual directory has become an essential reference for mining executives, procurement offices and purchasing divisions. The Austmine Directory is available in hard copy, CD or can be found on the Austmine website, and contains a comprehensive listing of members including company profiles, product listings and key contacts. The directory is distributed at tradeshows and international exhibitions either directly, by government or other industry partners.

Staged every 2 years, the Austmine Conference and Exhibition is a much anticipated industry event attracting a range of mining companies, METS suppliers and international visitors to discuss the latest trends in mining technology and innovation.
Along with a complete conference program, there is a technology exhibition which allows companies to showcase their products and services. The Conference Dinner is a highlight of the calendar year at which the Craig Sanger Award for excellence in export is presented.
