About this event

MetFest! has become an iconic AusIMM event in regional calendars around Australia, bringing together teams of regional metallurgists, geo-mets, process engineers and other associated professionals for a unique day of networking and professional development. 

Following on from these successful MetFest! events, the AusIMM Central Victoria branch, Metallurgical Society, Melbourne branch and WIMnet Victoria are bringing MetFest! to Bendigo with the support of Agnico Eagle Fosterville and Mandalay Costerfield Operations.

MetFest! Victoria (Bendigo) will commence with optional pre-event tours on the Thursday: a site visit to Agnico Eagle Fosterville processing plant, and a second site visit to Mandalay Costerfield Operations, followed by an evening networking function.

This will be followed by a day of technical talks on Friday at the All Seasons Hotel Bendigo, focused on the practicalities of operating a concentrator, both from a met and geo-met perspective, technical wins (or losses) and on-going project work. This will also include the annual G D Delprat Distinguished Lecture Series: Models, madness and mill design presented by Aidan Giblett.

Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with industry peers in a relaxed and friendly environment as we celebrate metallurgical collaboration, innovation and networking.
