The dates have confirmed as May 30 to June 1 in a new format that includes a Saturday for the first time.

Showcasing the latest and greatest of one Australia’s largest economic sectors, MineX 2019 will see visitors from across the nation enter a world of mining, with upwards of 100 indoor and open-air exhibits estimated to be on show.

First hosted annually in 1996, and biennial since 2015, this will be the 23^rd MineX in Mount Isa highlighting the wealth and quality of the mining, engineering and support industries throughout Central and North West Queensland and the Carpentaria Minerals Province.

Commerce North West President Travis Crowther said the challenge was always thinking of ways to improve the event for exhibitors, sponsors and visitors.

“The introduction of a Saturday to the program in 2019 is just one example of our developments – a result of feedback from many businesses across the region who were not able to attend on weekdays,” Mr Crowther said.

“It will also allow for a more community driven vibe with many members of the public not just interested in the show specials, but also keen to learn what is happening within the industry their city is renowned for.”

Mr Crowther said there would a return to evening functions which saw tickets quickly sell-out in previous exhibitions.

“MineX 2019 will have an enormous announcement to make in this arena in the coming weeks,” he said.

“It will be another way for MineX, Commerce North West and the industry to give back to the communities in which we operate”.

There will be aTrade and Industry Only Day on Thursday May 30, then there will be free access to the public from 10am Friday May 31 and Saturday June 1.
