30 Second Briefing
Perth will host the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX26) from 5–7 May, with high‑level delegations from Canada and Peru joining Australian mining and METS leaders. Co‑hosted by Austmine and AusIMM, the event will centre on mining equipment, technology and services, including digital mine optimisation, automation and decarbonisation technologies. Attendance by government and industry representatives from major copper and critical minerals jurisdictions signals strong interest in cross‑border collaboration on METS procurement, standards and technology transfer.
Technical Brief
- Co-hosting by Austmine and AusIMM aligns METS suppliers with professional standards, training and technical accreditation.
- Delegation formats typically include government, major miners and OEMs, enabling end-to-end technology procurement discussions.
- Face-to-face meetings at GRX26 allow detailed comparison of automation, digital and decarbonisation systems against differing jurisdictional regulations.
Our Take
Austmine’s push to bring Canada and Peru delegations into Perth for GRX26 lines up with its recent moves to position Australian METS suppliers for global partnerships, as flagged in our 3 March 2026 coverage of its international strategy.
