Join the Far North Queensland Branch for a discussion event on “Sustainable Critical Minerals: The opportunities and challenges for Far North Queensland”
About this event
Featuring an address from Matt Canavan, Federal Senator for Queensland followed by a panel of local industry representatives, the event will drive a conversation on the critical minerals cycle in FNQ from exploration through to advanced manufacturing and the increasing focus on ESG to engage effectively with stakeholders in our environmentally and culturally sensitive region.
This event includes time to network over canapes with other professionals in the region, including members of the AusIMM, and build relationships with those working in the local resources industry of Queensland.
Registration is essential for catering purposes.
