Join the Young Professionals sub-committee at the final YP event of the year at the stunning Ritz Carlton to hear from a panel of experts in the field of Risk, Exploration and Technology.
2020 has been a tough year for Australia. Despite the challenges of COVID19 and the resulting dislocation and disruption, WA’s resource sector is helping lead a nation-wide economic recovery. The exploration industry is at the forefront of this effort, with both established and emerging miners making discoveries that prove WA will remain an internationally renowned mining province for years to come. The WAMC YP are proud to welcome Alex Dorsch, Scott Williamson and Jordan Rogers to lead this discussion at their November Sundowner.
As with our previous events, we are only able to accept three registrations from any one organisation, so that we can comply with COVID-19 Phase Four restrictions
