- Managing the iron ore boom 2.0 – FIFO and workers’ camps, engineering requirements, skills shortages, cost inflation, and what we learned from the first boom
- Iron ore price, derivatives and futures market
- Innovation and automation – the future of growth, IOT, remote operation centers, and new productivity developments
- Reducing energy costs – the role of solar and RAPS for mine sites
“Australia’s three major iron ore miners have now committed to spending a total of almost $9 billion on new mining projects across Western Australia’s Pilbara, creating thousands of jobs”
