GRX26
Competing in the Critical Era
May 5–7, 2026
Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre
Following a landmark debut in Brisbane in 2025, the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX) returns in 2026 with even greater ambition, momentum, and global impact.
GRX26 is more than an event — it’s the new industry-led international platform bringing mining and METS together to drive the future of the resources sector.
Co-hosted by leading peak bodies Austmine and AusIMM, GRX26 is where cutting-edge technologies are unveiled, bold ideas are exchanged, and cross-sector partnerships are forged.
From 5–7 May 2026, Perth – Australia’s mining hub of excellence – will welcome the world’s most forward-thinking mining companies, METS innovators, policymakers, researchers, and professionals to explore the future of mining technology, sustainability and global collaboration.
We invite your organisation to join us at GRX26 as a strategic partner, sponsor or exhibitor and be positioned at the forefront of global mining innovation.
