“The North West Minerals Province - where good news stories keep coming.”
6th to 8th May 2025
Mount Isa Civic Centre,
23 West St Mount Isa. Queensland Australia
The 2025 North West MPX is the original combined conference and expo for the mining and resources sector, located right in the heart of the North West Minerals Province of Queensland.
Building on years of mining exhibitions and conferences, the 2025 North West MPX offers an opportunity for the minds and technology of business to meet with the mining and resources sector over a two-day conference and exhibition in the heart of the North West Minerals Province of Queensland.
This year, the focus of the conference will again be on the pipeline projects in the near vicinity of Mount Isa. As the region faces the imminent closure of one of Australia's largest and longest operated Copper mine, the focus is on the future opportunities. The region boasts rich reserves of copper, zinc, graphite, phosphate, gold, cobalt and so much more. It is a hive of activity with junior minors busy exploring through to established mines producing product for market.
As we look to a future powered by green energy there is a push to not just mine these resources but develop them locally and make them into products that can be used right here. This value ad piece is gathering momentum among the region's leaders looking to ensure the future of not just Mount Isa but the entire North West. As the Copper String project is constructed and moves ever closer, it opens the way up for more energy production to head back down the corridor from the North West
The 2025 North West MPX offers the opportunity for all these stakeholders, mining and energy as well as civic leaders to meet with one another to exchange news and ideas.
Exhibitors showcasing their products and services will benefit from opportunities to engage the mining industry through displays, simulations and discussion. The provision of a catered morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea on the exhibition floor will increase the networking benefits to exhibitors by providing delegates the opportunity to seek out information and build relationships with both exhibitors and each other. Additionally, the exhibition will be open to the public on Thursday 8th May 2025.
Host city Mount Isa is both the gateway to the North West Minerals Province and an outback city rich in heritage and culture, offering delegates an ideal base to explore the region’s mining and natural history, enjoy the adventures of a 4WD tour, jet skiing and fishing on Lake Moondarra or relaxing under a magnificent outback sunset.
We look forward to your participation and involvement in a successful 2025 North West MPX.

2024 was the first year the networking hub was open and we are looking forward to developing this space further.
Not unlike a social media platform, the hub will provide options to upload a profile photo, business details, networking statement, links and contact information.
As sponsors and attendees arrive at the North West MPX, they'll be issued with a lanyard featuring a unique QR code which will be linked up to their profile on the hub.
An oasis in the outback and a city rich in history and culture, Mount Isa is the gateway to your North West Minerals Province adventure.
Travel back in time to ancient past in the Riversleigh Fossil Discovery Centre or enjoy spectacular outback sunsets from one of the many lookouts.
Those keen for a little more active adventure can visit Lake Moondarra for boating, fishing or water-skiing, or if you prefer to stay on terra firma, join a guided bus tour or head out for 4WD adventure.
We acknowledge the Kalkatungu People as Traditional Custodians of Mount Isa.
We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and their connections to land, sea and community.
