Diggers & Dealers Conference (miners!)

Well, looks like the ALP is absent from this conference - where people are being encouraged to vote for the Coalition!

Welcome to Diggers & Dealers

This leading annual mining conference combines presentations by listed mining and exploration companies with a large exhibition area housing exhibitors from the mining, exploration and service sectors.

A world class entertainment program ensures that delegates experience the very best of the style and hospitality of Kalgoorlie, the unofficial gold mining capital of Australia.

The Forum, the most important event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, was the brainchild of the late Geoffrey J. Stokes. A delegation of 150 back in 1992 has now reached a record high of 1900 for the three-day and three-night event. The Forum has developed into an enduring mining industry event, thanks in no small part to the support of industry leaders worldwide.

The delegation is made up of mining and exploration companies, brokers, bankers, investors, financiers and mining service industries. A 40-strong media contingent ensures that the proceedings of the Forum are widely reported.
