  • The Australian Resources and Energy Conference

  • Broken Hill, 21st – 25th May 2011

    THIS WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, OVER 440 DELEGATES, EXCELLENT PRESENTATIONS, ENTERTAINMENTS AND TRADE DISPLAYS. CONGRATULATIONS KERRY – A TRIUMPH!
    ROLL ON MAY 2012 IN BROKEN HILL

    The industrialisation of Australia was kick-started by Broken Hill. It is the gateway to The Outback with a rich mining history, extensive resources and surprisingly, more art galleries than pubs!

    With such a vast array and wealth of natural resources, it was time to showcase what this region – and indeed the whole of Australia – had to offer across all resource and energy sectors, from mining, oil and gas, to minerals, precious metals and alternative energy.

    This was to be the largest event ever run in Australia – across any industry – with a wide mix of delegates comprising the majority of Australian resource and energy businesses and keen international investment interest from fund managers, bankers and private investors.

    Register your interest on the Symposium Web Site.

    Profits from the conference were allocated for scholarships for students entering the resources industry.

    Air charter interest was available through the air charter link.

  • Vale – Dave Suppel
    1943 – 2011

    Dave Suppel passed away on 11 March 2011 after a three year battle with cancer. Many in the minerals industry knew Dave as the long-time Principal Geologist Metallic Minerals in the Geological Survey of New South Wales.

    To encounter a Dave Suppel in a career was to have had an experience one should value for a lifetime. Quality individuals such as Dave are unfortunately rarer than we would like to think. Accordingly, Dave Suppel’s death was not only a loss to our professional community but also a loss to that small cohort of good men.
