Exploring Exploration:
Where does it start?
Where does it stop?
Join us at EMC 2025 as we delve into the evolving landscape of the mining industry. With increasing interconnections and the breaking down of traditional silos, we invite you to explore the boundaries of exploration—specifically, where does exploration begins and where does it stop.
Conference Structure
Over two immersive days, we will navigate three key sub-themes identified by our advisory group. Each day will focus on a distinct perspective, fostering insightful discussions and collaborative learning.
Conference Sub-themes

Time
time1
ˈtīm
noun
The measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues : duration a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future
Time has a profound connection to the work we are completing in this sector. From the influence of deep time, geological time and timing of mineralisation to the more operational aspects of time to discovery, time from discovery to production, the economic value of time and the changing times in which we are working. We take the opportunity to consider the connection of time, through its many lenses.

Uncertainty
un·cer·tain·ty2
[ʌnˈsəːtnti]
noun
The state of being uncertain:
(uncertainties)
something that is uncertain or that causes one to feel uncertain:
Working within an environment underpinned by the uncertainty of discovery, uncertainty further impacts all of our work. From the uncertainty of data and uncertainty induced by process to leading and managing teams who work with uncertainty in an environment of financial and demand uncertainty. Do we really understand uncertainty and how should we be working with this and understanding its impact.

Collaboration
[kəˌlabəˈreɪʃn]
noun
The action of working with someone to produce something:
Centred around one of Amira’s main focuses, collaboration has a much broader impact on our work. From grand societal challenges, such as net zero, to learning from collaboration, extracting value from collaborative research, collaboration enablers, and adoption of collaboration tools, collaboration forms a significant part of our industries’ remit. Breaking down and collaboration across silos to vertical value chain integration collaboration, how can we learn to and learn from collaboration to prepare for the future?
