The first day of AIMEX has begun, with exhibitors showcasing mining technology, services, and heavy equipment from around the world.
The event, which typically sees thousands pass through its doors, is Australia’s largest mining technology and machinery event.
This year will again focus on innovation, and how miners can make their operations more productive.
Across all four days of the event, attendees can immerse themselves in some of the newest insights and developments to come on the market.
Highlights include the exhibition of over 400 exhibitors showcasing the latest mining technology, equipment and services (and attracting thousands of mining personnel) and a seminar and exhibition program focused on cost savings and innovation.
The show will also host the largest ever Indian delegation.
Australian Mining will be reporting on the latest developments, so keep a track of our facebook at Australian Mining, and our twitter @ozmining to see the newest equipment on show.
