The 2025 MinEx CRC Annual Conference brought together MinEx CRC postgraduate students and industry representatives for a Postgraduate Industry Workshop at the Tradewinds Hotel in East Fremantle.

The workshop created a valuable space for students to present how their research fits across the minerals value chain, and to engage directly with professionals from across the exploration and mining sector. Through roundtable discussions, value chain mapping, and scenario-based conversations, participants explored how emerging technologies, new insights and developing skills can translate into real-world impact.

A huge thank you to our industry representatives for generously sharing their time, expertise and career wisdom, and to our postgraduate student cohort for approaching the day with such enthusiasm and engagement.
