The Gold Industry Group brought together its members, partners, and special guests on 28 November at The Adnate Perth to celebrate the year that’s been and share updates on its latest activities.
The night was a great opportunity for The Gold Industry Group to thank its dedicated members and partners who have been instrumental in shaping the industry's narrative and growth throughout the year.
As Gold Industry Group Chair Kelly Carter declared in her opening address - “the sense of community runs deep in gold and it’s what makes our industry so strong and resilient.”
“We’ve always been an industry that strives for collective success. Not only do we celebrate the collective success of our companies and our workers, but we also create lasting benefits for the communities that host us,” she said.
Kelly Carter also touched on her most rewarding moments of the year - West Coast Fever players touring the Granny Smith gold mine, witnessing Evolution Mining break a Guiness World Record for gold panning in NSW, and seeing Bellevue Gold pour first gold at its flagship project in WA.
The panel for the night, made up of Regis Resources CEO Jim Beyer, Gold Road Resources General Counsel and Joint Company Secretary Julie Jones, and Northern Star Resources CTO Steve McClare, all then shared insights into their highlights of 2023.
They also touched on some of the amazing work each of their companies are doing in the local community and made some wild predictions about how the industry might look in ten years’ time.
Jim Beyer stressed the importance of communicating the role mining will play in the green energy revolution, Julie Jones discussed the role artificial intelligence and sentient beings might play alongside humans in the workplace at some point in the future, and Stuart McClare had some interesting ideas around electric vehicles, and how they could optimise their movements underground.
The 2023 Gold Industry Group End-of-Year celebration was a resounding success, highlighting the achievements and advancements made within the industry, and also reinforcing the Gold Industry Group’s commitment to its funding members.
As the evening drew to a close, it was evident that the gold sector was poised for exciting prospects heading into 2024. The event not only commemorated the accomplishments of the past year but also set a forward-thinking tone for the years to come, fostering a sense of optimism and collaboration among Gold Industry Group’s members and partners.
