When the 2024 Australian Mining Prospect Awards take place in October, it will mark the first time the event has been held in conjunction with a major industry conference.
From the industry’s humble beginnings to its current cutting-edge practices, mining has long been a driving force in Australia’s growth. And the Australian Mining Prospect Awards highlight the continued pursuit for excellence across the sector.
This year’s awards, the only national program to stop, take a look at what the mining industry is doing, and reward those who are excelling and going above and beyond, will be hosted alongside the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition (WAME), which runs in Perth from October 9–10.
Show director Siobhan Rocks believes the significance of the awards is a major contributor to making WAME 2024 a must-attend event for anyone in the mining industry.
“The Australian Mining Prospect Awards are more than just a night of celebration,” she said. “The event represents the culmination of hard work, innovation, and dedication within the mining sector.
“Our goal is to highlight those who are setting new standards and pushing the boundaries in mining.
“There is something for everyone and that’s why we decided to host the awards alongside the WA Mining Conference and Exhibition.”

This year’s awards night promises to be more impactful than ever.
With categories ranging from Safety Advocate of the Year to Excellence in Environmental Management and Sustainability, the awards will recognise a wide range of accomplishments. Each category underscores the multi-faceted nature of the mining industry and the myriad of ways in which professionals contribute to its advancement.
One of the highlights of the Australian Mining Prospect Awards is the Innovative Mining Solution Award, which recognises a mine, company or project that demonstrates innovative ways to protect the environment. This award is particularly significant as it underscores the critical role of innovation in ensuring the sustainability and progression of the mining industry.
“Innovation is the lifeblood of the mining sector; it drives efficiency, enhances safety, and opens up new possibilities for exploration and production,” Rocks said. “The Innovative Mining Solution Award celebrates those who are at the forefront of this movement, showcasing the incredible advancements being made.
“The mining industry is constantly evolving, and these awards are a testament to the adaptability, resilience, and forward-thinking mindset of our professionals.
“By acknowledging their successes, we not only celebrate their achievements but help to inspire others in the industry.”
As part of WAME, the 2024 Prospect Awards represent an invaluable networking opportunity for people across the mining sector. Attendees will have the opportunity to come together with peers to exchange ideas and celebrate their shared successes.
“The Australian Mining Prospect Awards provide a unique opportunity for industry professionals to reflect on the year’s achievements,” Rocks said. “The event is a chance to build connections, share knowledge, and celebrate the incredible work being done across the sector.”
This year’s Prospect Awards and WAME have been developed by Prime Creative Media to provide a complete, memorable and inspiring experience. From the awards dinner to innovative exhibitors to enlightening presentations at the conference, every detail has been designed to provide a first-class experience for all attendees.
“We want every guest to leave the event feeling inspired and appreciated,” Rocks said. “The mining industry is built on the dedication and hard work of countless individuals, and it’s important to take a moment to recognise them and celebrate it.”
The Prospect Awards and WAME are poised to come together as a highlight in the mining industry calendar, celebrating the best and brightest and setting the stage for continued excellence and innovation in the years to come.
