As part of the successful bid to host Asia-Pacific’s International Mining Exhibition (AIMEX) for the next decade, Adelaide will also welcome the mining industry’s most esteemed and prestigious awards program.
The Australian Mining Prospect Awards have been recognising and celebrating the excellence and success of the companies and individuals across the sector for more than a decade.
Prime Creative Media marketing manager of mining events, Rebecca Todesco, said the glittering black-tie gala event will take place on the second night of AIMEX 2025 and will give delegates the chance to get behind their peers.
“The Prospect Awards are the premium awards ceremony for the Australian industry, so bringing them across to coincide with our history-making event in South Australia was a natural decision,” she said.
“As well as our commitment to building industries, Prime Creative Media is dedicated to supporting the individuals and organisations that drive them and a big part of that is celebrating industry excellence.
“Building on the success of last year, we’re taking the awards up a notch for 2025, with an extra award category and a spectacular awards program to really celebrate those excelling and going above and beyond.”
As well as the change in location, the Prospect Awards has increased its number of categories, with industry achievements celebrated across 12 different awards categories:
- Indigenous and Community Engagement
- Excellence in IIOT Application
- Excellence in Environmental Management and Sustainability
- Excellence in Mine Safety, OH&S
- Innovative Mining Solution
- Safety Advocate of the Year
- Project Lead of the Year
- Outstanding Mine Performance
- Engineering Success of the Year
- Discovery of the Year
- Lifetime Achievement Award
- Australian Mine of the Year
“The Prospect Awards are the mining industry’s night of nights,” Todesco said. “It’s the perfect chance to get your colleagues together, grab a table, have a boogie and show up for the people doing great work across the industry.”
The Australian Mining Prospect Awards will be held on Wednesday September 24. If you’d like to be involved, contact Danny Jennings on 0435 963 075 or email danny.jennings@primecreative.com.au.
