To be hosted by Commerce North West at Buchanan Park at the end of May the Minex19 site is near capacity of exhibitors, according to Exhibitor Manager Beth Anderson.
"This year we have been very lucky to secure exhibitors that will be showcasing the absolute pinnacle when it comes to mining and engineering technology and innovation," Ms Anderson said.
Ms Anderson said many of the world's leading specialists and suppliers will be on show with some of the largest companies in the industry and some of the largest producing mines from across the Carpentaria Minerals Province, the richest mineral producing region in the Southern Hemisphere.
"MineX19 will have everything from larger then life mining equipment, through to pumping solutions and even power tools on show, with some great trade specials also on offer" she said.
An exhibitor likely to capture attention is Force One Australia with their remotely operated dry vac excavator, unique technology resembling a transformer.
"Force One Australia is a company specialising in safe and environmentally friendly ways of excavating and halving times and costs when it comes to mine site shut down works and alike" Force One Australia General Manager Spiro Xypolitos said.
"We will be bringing to MineX our one of a kind in Australia, MTS Suction Excavator (ESE-Saugbagger) also referred to as DryVac, the latest non-destructive digging, material removal and large vacuum excavation machine out of Germany; it combines the functionality of an extreme power vacuum truck, a side tipper haul truck, an excavator and a compressed air unit all in one."
Mr Xypolitos said it could be remotely driven and controlled for unique productivity, and excavates non-destructively, clears silos, tanks, pits, pipes and drains, and removes contaminated soil at 100 metre+ distances and 25 metre+ depths.
Minex runs from Thursday May 30 to Saturday June 1 with daily free entry (Thursday is a trade and industry buyer only day) featuring demonstrations, presentations and functions ranging from breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and the first-ever MineX Rocks closing concert.
