Presentations

Victoria’s Prospects: Past, Present and Future.

A responsible and sustainable minerals supply is one of the pillars of economic development and a key element in tackling some of the challenges facing current and future generations. What does Victoria have to offer in this space? What lessons can we learn from the past? Where is geoscience heading? How will we get there?

AIG’s Victorian minerals Round-up – a highlight in the Victorian geoscience calendar — delivers answers to these questions. From exploration to rehabilitation, regulation to investor advisory, and academia to operations, the AIG Victorian Minerals Round-up will make a deep-dive into Victoria’s geoscience sector, showcasing emerging and established projects, providing insights into best practice and the viewpoints of cornerstone industries and services.
