The Prospect Awards, to be held in Perth for the first time in 2022, recognise the best in mining and mineral processing.
The Prospect Awards are the most esteemed and prestigious awards slate for the Australian resources sector. Tickets to this year’s event, to be held at the Pan Pacific Perth on Thursday November 17, are still available.
Mining has always been a part of Australia’s landscape, playing a major part in the development of this nation from its early days.
The sector remains vibrant and innovative, and for almost 20 years the Australian Mining Prospect Awards have been the only national awards program to stop, take a look at what the mining industry is doing, and reward those who are excelling and going above and beyond, recognising and rewarding innovation.
In 2022, the Prospect Awards will head to Perth for the first time, acknowledging the vibrancy and importance of the industry in Western Australia.
This year’s finalists represent the best of what the mining industry has to offer. There will be 10 awards presented at the gala dinner, each acknowledging mining excellence in areas from ranging from Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) application to community engagement.
