North West MPX & RJC Jobs Expo

Building on years of mining exhibitions and conferences, the 2025 North West MPX offers an opportunity for the minds and technology of business to meet with the mining and resources sector over a two-day conference and exhibition in the heart of the North West Minerals Province.

This year, the focus of the conference will be on the pipeline projects in the near vicinity of Mount Isa. As the region faces the imminent closure of one of Australia's largest and longest-operated copper mines, the focus is on future opportunities.

The region boasts rich reserves of copper, zinc, graphite, phosphate, gold, cobalt and so much more. It is a hive of activity, with junior miners busy exploring through to established mines producing product for market.

As we look to a future powered by green energy, there is a push to not just mine these resources, but to develop them locally and make them into products that can be used right here. This value-add piece is gathering momentum among the region's leaders looking to ensure the future of not just Mount Isa but the entire North West.

The 2025 North West MPX offers the opportunity for all these stakeholders, mining and energy, as well as civic leaders to meet with one another to exchange news and ideas.

Exhibitors showcasing their products and services will benefit from opportunities to engage the mining industry through displays, simulations and discussion.

There will be a catered morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea on the exhibition floor.

The exhibition will be open to the public on Thursday 8 May from 8am.

RJC Jobs Expo

This year's North West MPX will also include a Mount Isa Regional Jobs Committee (RJC) Jobs Expo. It will be held on Thursday, May 8, from 10.30am to 4pm at the Civic Centre.
