AusImm introduces landmark conference experience

The Life of Mine | Mine Waste and Tailings Conference 2025 will see two of the resource sectors most influential events run side-by-side this July in a new dynamic two-day event. 

AusIMM’s collaboration with The University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute brings together global mining professionals, researchers and industry leaders to connect and collaborate.   

Hosted at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, the conference will present a broader scope and increased opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration amongst delegates by combining two established audiences. 

Delegates no longer need to choose between mine lifecycle planning or waste management topics, this event brings the best of both worlds. The combined conference prioritises core essentials including practical, real-world solutions and sustainable practices addressing key themes such as responsible mine lifecycle planning, decarbonisation and waste management.  

The united platform will provide an expanded technical program and access to professionals involved in every aspect of mine development, sustainability, waste management and environmental responsibility, fostering long term resilience within the mining industry.  

With a legacy built over six successful iterations, the Life of Mine Conference focuses on responsible, end-to-end planning for mining projects. With its unique holistic coverage of topics including regional rehabilitation, circular economy integration, decarbonisation and effective regulatory frameworks, the event attracts industry professionals and creates an essential forum for advancing sustainable operations.  

AusIMM’s Mine Waste and Tailings Conference, launched in 2015, quickly established itself as the industry’s premier event for advancing safe and compliant waste management practices. Exploring themes of risk assessment, tailings dam management, stakeholder engagement and post-closure site monitoring the event attracts a highly engaged and specialised audience.  

The unified event showcases a comprehensive platform, covering a broad spectrum of critical topics including dewatering, social performance, regional collaboration and biodiversity investments.  

The program features 110 oral presentations across two conferences, seven panel discussions, three keynote presentations and 66 organisations. 

There are 12 nations represented throughout the program, indicating the strong international interest and involvement in the dual event.  

Keynote speakers

ICMM data and researcher director Dr Emma Gagen is an industry leader in mine rehabilitation. Currently leading ICMM’s mine closure and water work programs, Dr Gagen also led research programs on best practice mine rehabilitation as the lead technical advisor in the Office of the Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner.  

WSP senior vice president and geotechnical engineer Christopher N. Hatton and The University of Queensland Geotechnical Engineering Centre director David Williams will combine their extensive industry experience to present a keynote on tailing management.  

The University of Queensland Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining director Deanna Kemp is a leading international expert focused on the social and political challenges of the global mining industry.  

Panel discussions

Key players will be exchanging ideas on important topics at the conference panel discussions, five of which have already been announced.  

On day one of the event, opening the series of panels, is a presentation titled Beyond the Mine: Strategies for Thriving, Sustainable Communities. 

In a panel titled Insights, successes and improvement opportunities: implementing and assuring the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GITSM), key learnings and a view to the future on topics including risk management, safe closure, corporate governance and ongoing assurance will be explored. 

Topsoil deficits and establishment of growth media suitable for vegetated post mining land uses are a major ongoing challenge which poses difficult questions requiring innovative solutions. Bringing together industry leaders and experts to share their knowledge on managing such deficits, the Challenges with managing topsoil deficits for mine rehabilitation panellists will divulge their firsthand experience addressing these challenges.  

Join industry leaders from the July 29-30, 2025 and experience this first-class event.
