Asia-Pacific's International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX)

AIMEX Returns with a Bold New Vision for Mining Innovation in South Australia

As Australia’s longest-running mining show, the Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) enters a powerful new phase — now permanently based in South Australia for the next decade. Following a successful bid by the South Australian Government, the relocation marks more than a change of venue; it signals a dynamic shift in focus for the event and for the mining sector as a whole.

From legacy technologies to emerging innovations, AIMEX has always served as a barometer for progress in the industry. Now, underpinned by a future-focused agenda, the exhibition is set to expand its influence even further, offering a revitalized experience for exhibitors, attendees, and the broader resources community.

A New Chapter Begins: Why South Australia Is the Right Fit

South Australia has long been a strategic player in Australia's mining and resource landscape. Home to world-class deposits of copper, uranium, and critical minerals, the state is well-positioned to become a hub for next-generation mining initiatives. The decision to anchor AIMEX in the region for the next 10 years reflects this alignment between event purpose and regional potential.

With significant government support, improved infrastructure, and a strong base of mining operators and explorers, South Australia provides fertile ground for collaboration, investment, and innovation. The state’s proactive stance on decarbonisation and resource sustainability further reinforces its suitability as AIMEX’s new home.

What’s New at AIMEX: Expanded Layout and Emerging Verticals

The latest edition of AIMEX features a broader layout, expanded to include both indoor and outdoor exhibits. This shift allows for large-scale equipment demonstrations, interactive installations, and more comprehensive experiences across all aspects of mining operations.

New verticals making their debut at the show include:

Transformative Technology Zone: Focusing on automation, digitalization, and AI-driven solutions for operational efficiency.

Research and Development Hub: Designed to connect academia, startups, and mining companies working on cutting-edge materials and mining processes.

Decarbonisation Pavilion: Highlighting the best in electrification, emissions reduction, and renewable integration for mining operations.

These additions mark a clear move toward aligning AIMEX with industry-wide goals such as sustainability, safety, and productivity.

Conference Access and Networking: The Power of Connection

One of AIMEX’s most valuable offerings is its free-to-attend conference, open to all registered participants. The program is structured to provide actionable insights, future outlooks, and real-world case studies delivered by respected voices in mining, engineering, and environmental science.

Attendees will benefit from:

Keynote sessions from mining executives and policy influencers

Technical panels on emerging mining technologies

Workshops and training on digital transformation, workplace safety, and workforce development

Interactive Q&A forums with solution providers

In addition, dedicated networking lounges, informal meetups, and curated B2B sessions offer countless opportunities to forge new partnerships and explore synergies within the mining ecosystem.

Empowering Women in Mining: A Focus on Inclusion and Recognition

A standout feature of this year’s AIMEX is its deliberate spotlight on women in the mining industry. Through a series of events, awards, and recognition programs, the exhibition aims to both celebrate achievements and address challenges faced by women working in technical, managerial, and operational roles.

These initiatives include:

Women in Mining Breakfast Forum: Featuring guest speakers and mentorship opportunities

Diversity and Inclusion Panel: Discussing workplace culture and leadership pipelines

Excellence Awards: Honoring outstanding contributions by women across all levels of the industry

This focus is part of a broader push by AIMEX to encourage inclusive growth and highlight the diverse skill sets driving mining innovation today.

Technologies That Are Reshaping the Mining Sector

The AIMEX show floor will offer attendees a firsthand look at the technologies revolutionizing mining, from exploration to rehabilitation. As the sector evolves, the integration of digital tools and sustainable practices is not only changing how resources are extracted — it's redefining what mining means in the 21st century.

Among the innovations on display:

Electric mining vehicles and battery systems

Remote operation centers with VR/AR integration

AI-based exploration platforms and geospatial tools

Drone-based inspection and monitoring solutions

Emission control and waste-to-energy technologies

The exhibitors represent a diverse cross-section of the mining value chain — from original equipment manufacturers and technology startups to service providers and research institutions.

Supporting Local Industry and Global Growth

By choosing South Australia as its long-term base, AIMEX not only supports local industry but also solidifies Australia's position in the global mining dialogue. With a strong track record in mineral production, regulatory transparency, and technological adoption, the country continues to be viewed as a safe and innovative mining destination.

The event helps channel this reputation into tangible partnerships, investment opportunities, and cross-border collaborations, benefiting both the Australian economy and the broader Asia-Pacific mining community.

AIMEX Sets the Stage for a Smarter, Greener Mining Future

With its relocation to South Australia, expanded footprint, and sharpened focus on transformative technology, AIMEX reaffirms its position as the Asia-Pacific’s definitive mining exhibition. The 10-year commitment provides the stability and vision needed to evolve alongside the industry — from traditional resource extraction to intelligent, low-impact mining.

Attendees and exhibitors alike will find this new era of AIMEX to be rich in opportunity, collaboration, and thought leadership. Whether you're a supplier looking to enter new markets, a miner seeking better operational tools, or a policymaker shaping the future of mining — AIMEX is where ideas become action.
