The biennial Austmine Awards are the industry’s most prestigious awards for miners and METS, recognising excellence in innovation and export. The finalists for the Austmine 2019 awards have now been announced.
After a very high calibre of submissions across all four of the awards categories, the judges have selected their finalists for the Austmine METS Innovation Award; the Austmine Miners Innovation Award; the Craig Senger Excellence in Export Award; and the esteemed Champion of Innovation Award.
The winners of all awards will be announced at the Austmine Industry Leaders’ Dinner and Awards evening, part of the Austmine 2019 mining innovation conference, taking place in Brisbane on Wednesday 22 May 2019.
