The Connecting Copper & Gold Forum Queensland brings together the companies behind these projects, alongside industry and the supply chain, to provide a clear and practical view of current activity, upcoming developments and the pathway toward production.
Hear directly from project proponents, gain insight into the market, policy and industry drivers shaping the sector, and be part of a live industry roundtable discussion focused on what it will take to move projects forward.
If you’re looking to understand upcoming opportunities, connect with the right people and position your business early, this is a room worth being in.

Understand what’s driving the sector from local content and value-add opportunities through to policy changes and the realities of progressing projects in Queensland.
The forum brings project proponents, industry and government together for a live, on-stage roundtable discussion facilitated by Queensland Resources Council CEO Janette Hewson, focused on:
“What will it take to move Queensland’s copper and gold pipeline into production and how can industry work together to achieve it?”
This is where perspectives are shared, challenges are unpacked, and the focus shifts to what needs to happen next.
If you want clarity on what’s coming, access to the right people, and an understanding of where your business fits, this forum delivers exactly that.
