Day two of the International Mining and Resources Conference and Expo (IMARC) has finished up with hearty deals, debates and discussions.

A new memorandum of understanding between Hexagon and PT Petronesia Benimel was one of many highlights of the day, while hundreds of meetings between miners and investors at IMARC Connect took place throughout the afternoon.

Many of the theatres were full throughout the day, with high-profile sessions including decarbonisation, tailings dam management and the world’s first “digital mine” displayed in Newmont Plenary Theatre and Caterpillar Energy Transition and Decarbonisation Theatre.

“We are thrilled with the momentum and engagement we’re seeing at IMARC this year,” IMARC chief operating officer Anita Richards said.

“From insightful discussions to our strong sales performance for 2025, IMARC continues to cement its place as the go-to event for shaping the future of mining.”

Secondary school students were also in attendance on day two, exploring the world of mining with VR (virtual reality) goggles, electric vehicles and simulators capturing young imaginations and helping create the next generation of professionals.

There were also presentations, panels and interactive discussions in the Jacobs ESG Collaboration Theatre, the MMG Global Opportunities Theatre, the Hatch Mining Innovation Theatre and the Convergio Digital Transformation Theatre.

As IMARC begins its third and final day, attendees can look forward to perspectives on First Nations participation in mining, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the next generation of miners.

This evening will also see the Gala Dinner in full swing, bringing together industry leaders, government representatives and global partners to celebrate innovation, collaboration and growth in mining.
