Brisbane Resources Round-up on October 17 and 18 will provide an opportunity to learn more about the Australian resources industry from companies actively involved in the sector.

Over its 18 year existence, this convention has been the catalyst for initiating new investments, placements, joint ventures, and the like, and this year will be no exception.

Presentations from 37 companies

There will be 37 mining companies making presentations over the two days at the Hilton Brisbane as well as representatives of state mining bodies and corporate investment advisers.

Vertical Events managing director Stewart McDonald said all delegates, whether they were a managing director from one of the presenting resources companies, a drilling contractor delegate or a high net worth investor, would have reason and opportunities to benefit at the convention.

Keynote from Julian Babarczy

Day one opens at 9.05am and Regal Funds Management’s head of Australian equities Julian Babarczy will then deliver a keynote address titled ‘How Institutional Investors Analyse the Investment Opportunities for New Age Commodities’.

This will be followed by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy deputy director-general Rachael Cronin presenting on ‘The Queensland Opportunity’.

Day two begins at 9am with a keynote titled ‘The Australian Metallurgical Coal Industry’ from S&P Global Market Intelligence senior research analyst Richard Foy.

McDonald said, “The genesis of the convention came from a small group of junior explorers who in the year 2001 held a small quarterly investment forum in Brisbane with the premise to discuss resources activities in Queensland.

“Some members of this group had attended our RIU Explorers Conference in Western Australia and they asked me to consider bringing the same format to expand their forum in 2002.

Queensland government support

“From my experience, I knew to make this convention a success there had to be support from the Queensland Government Natural Resources Department and I was very fortunate that the then Queensland Premier Peter Beattie was an advocate and supporter of this concept.”

McDonald said that by the Mining 2007 Convention, the event had grown into one of the largest resources conferences on the East Coast of Australia and continued to hold this position.

Along with the 48 presentations, there will also be an opportunity to network with the 70 exhibitors in the exhibition hall.

McDonald said the event had been purposely designed to accommodate the three main components of the resources industry - listed resources companies, services companies and the investment community – as none could survive without the others.

“I am so appreciative at the tremendous long-term support from the Queensland Government and their assistance is one of the reasons for the success of this event,” he added.
