The Government of Ontario is organizing a mining export mission to the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) 2025 in Sydney, Australia with an outreach program in Melbourne or Adelaide. 

As one of the largest and most influential mining events, IMARC covers all aspects of the mining supply chain from exploration to investment, production and optimization through new technologies and global opportunities, alongside discussions on health and safety, renewable energy, critical minerals, and sustainability.

Recognized globally as a market leader in mining and mining supply, Australia's mining Sector contributes an estimated 15% to Australia’s GDP, and almost 10% of all full-time employment. As the shift of mining automation moves from integration of existing equipment to the implementation of the next generation of digitally enabled technology as well as solutions for the decarbonization from mining, equipment, technology and service companies, the projected growth for the sector is estimated to add more than $50 billion to the local economy by 2030. 

IMARC 2024 brought together over 9,000 attendees from 120 countries, showcasing 500+ exhibitors, 800 mining companies, and featuring 600 expert speakers across nine concurrent conferences. The 2024 event focused heavily on sustainable practices, innovation, and the future of critical minerals.

Joining the Ontario mission to IMARC represents an excellent opportunity for innovative Ontario companies with mining and cleantech supplies, solutions, technologies or services to explore and expand to the Australian market. The mission provides a unique platform and unrivaled visibility to access potential clients and partners from Australia and Asia Pacific region.
