A world-first surface and underground electric-diesel mine vehicles, cutting-edge AI-driven software and a sea of new brands will await visitors to the 2025 International Mining and Resources Conference + Expo (IMARC) in Sydney from October 21-23.
And that’s just a snippet of what’s new and sure to turn heads at the ICC Sydney this year when Australia’s most important annual mining event opens its doors to a record number of attendees and an incredible line-up of exhibitors.
With new IMARC brands such as Quartex, Sany, Volvo, CATL, Hitachi Construction Machinery, Birdon, FLS, Movus, Fast2Mine and many others, the event’s 20,000-square-metre exhibition area will be jam-packed with product launches and application unveilings.
What else is new at IMARC 2025?
SANY and its 136-tonne-payload (150 short ton) SET150S hybrid surface mining truck will be a hot topic of discussion at the company’s IMARC booth and most likely next year in the Pilbara region of WA where it will start appearing en masse. Senior SANY mining leaders are keen to outline the group’s mining vision for the next five years and see IMARC as the perfect place to do it.
Volvo Group Australia will be part of IMARC’s first Business Sweden pavilion and will also showcase its full “Toward Zero” group vision via a dedicated Volvo stand. A spokesperson says the vision encompasses “our commitment to sustainability, safety and society”. It is embodied in part in the equipment offerings of Volvo Trucks, Volvo Construction Equipment and Volvo Penta, which will be represented at IMARC.
Hitachi Construction Machinery will unveil its new real-time asset health intelligence and management digital product branding and offering. Senior company leaders will also be on hand to talk through HCM’s updated value proposition.
Some of the world’s best new mining technology firms will line IMARC’s first Innovation & Investment Alley and take part in discussions about future technology trends. One roundtable will bring mining tech accelerator leaders from Founders Factory and Unearthed together with mining companies and tech innovators to talk about funding mining tech into the future. Founders Factory has just announced a new cohort of startups to receive funding and support under its accelerator partnership with Rio Tinto. Founders Factory and Rio Tinto Ventures have now chosen 18 start-ups from more than 1500 reviewed globally in the past 18 months to be part of their program to find better and more sustainable ways to provide the materials the world needs.
Renowned globally for its mining innovation heritage and current supply powerhouses, “Team Sweden”, led by Business Sweden, says its first-ever country pavilion at IMARC will showcase world-leading solutions for sustainable, automated and electrified mining. The organisation will also co-host an exclusive Team Sweden Reception with the Swedish Embassy to bring together Australian and Swedish executives and policymakers.
Australia’s largest ASX-listed mining technology company, IMDEX, has made some important strategic acquisitions over the past few years and is excited about the latest, Norway-based Earth Science Analytics (ESA). ESA’s EarthNET – a cloud-based, AI-driven geoscience platform – is moving from development to early commercial deployment in oil and gas.
“The integration of EarthNET into our digital portfolio enhances our earth knowledge offering and accelerates our AI capability across multiple sectors,” said IMDEX CEO, Paul House.
Mine site operators and procurement teams from mining companies can take advantage of a free Mining Guest Pass, giving access to the full conference and exhibition.
