Explore the Exhibition Floor
Headlined by BHP and Molycop: What to Explore on the Mill Ops Exhibition Floor
The exhibition at Mill Operators Conference 2026 is more than a place to collect brochures between sessions.
It's where delegates can see new technologies in action, discuss operational challenges with technical experts and discover practical ideas to take back to site.
Headlined by Major Mining Sponsor BHP and Major Conference Sponsor Molycop, this year's exhibition showcases organisations working across process optimisation, comminution, flotation, water management, laboratory services and emerging technologies.
Whether you're looking for a solution to a current challenge or simply curious about what's new, the exhibition floor rewards exploration.
See Technology in Action
Several exhibitors are bringing live demonstrations to Brisbane.
Hydroflux will operate a working Mini HyDAF dissolved air flotation system, giving delegates an opportunity to observe the process firsthand and discuss water and wastewater treatment applications.
Core Resources will run live Geopyörä rapid rock breakage testing throughout the exhibition, producing ore hardness results in around 15 minutes and demonstrating how additional comminution data can support better decisions.
NUCTECH will combine a live LIBS elemental analyser demonstration with its Multi-Modal AI Off-Conveyor Ore Sorter, showcasing how rapid analysis and intelligent sorting technologies can support ore evaluation and waste rejection.
Talk Through Processing Challenges
Some of the most valuable discussions at Mill Ops happen on the exhibition floor.
SanFang Mining Australia will showcase integrated approaches to grinding media, flotation reagents and process optimisation designed to improve plant performance across the mineral processing circuit.
APT Group will demonstrate its toe-position monitoring technology, providing operators with real-time insight into mill conditions, feed rate optimisation and grinding performance.
IXOM will showcase two solutions relevant to processing operations: the IXOM Cube™ chemical storage and dosing system, and the Anglo Platinum Bubble Sizer, a flotation optimisation tool designed to support improved recovery and reagent efficiency.
Explore Water Management Solutions
Water remains one of the industry's most important operational considerations.
At the exhibition, delegates can explore solutions spanning dewatering, treatment, recycling and water reuse.
Xylem will showcase detailed pump models, dewatering technology and integrated water management solutions designed to support operational efficiency, water security and sustainability.
Together with Hydroflux, the exhibition provides an opportunity to engage directly with specialists working on some of the sector's most pressing water challenges.
Get Curious About What's Next
Emerging technologies also feature strongly across the exhibition.
MAXTA will introduce Max, an AI-powered assistant designed to help mining professionals better understand the mine value chain through curated technical knowledge, visual explanations and interactive learning.
Mill Operators delegates will be among the first attendees able to engage directly with the platform and explore its capabilities.
A Conversation That Gives Back
Not every stand is focused on equipment and technology.
At Brisbane Met Lab, delegates can turn a five-minute conversation into a donation to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, with the company contributing $5 for every qualifying discussion about metallurgy or geometallurgy.
It's a simple initiative that reflects the collaborative spirit of the industry.
Make Time to Explore
Between keynote presentations, technical sessions and networking events, leave time to walk the exhibition floor.
You might discover a new technology, solve a challenge you've been grappling with, or meet the person who offers a fresh perspective on an old problem.
The exhibition is included with your registration and will be open throughout the conference.
