MetFest Hosted by Northparkes

In October, we hosted the 11th Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy MetFest event, bringing around 130 metallurgists, process engineers, associated professionals and undergraduate chemical engineering students to Parkes.

The annual event boasts a series of unique networking events which connects technical professionals, undergraduate students and operational leaders across the resources sector. MetFest Parkes included a guided tour of Northparkes’ processing facilities a unique opportunity to showcase Northparkes’ metallurgical exploits to experienced and upcoming technical persons. Additionally, a series of technical presentations by the Northparkes Ore Processing team showcased learnings from successful and unsuccessful plant trials, and the mineralogy program we utilise for process improvement.
