Taking place on November 30th, These awards highlight excellence across the board, from groundbreaking exploration projects to inspiring tech innovations, industry deals, and visionary leaders and CEOs.
Andrew Thake, Divisional Director for Resourcing Tomorrow said:
“We have been careful to ensure these awards have transitioned along with the industry over the past two decades, by including categories that better reflect our times and recognise those that are doing significant work in technology and ESG, while also maintaining the traditional awards centred on deal making and strong company leaders.”
The judging panel, consisting of 10 industry experts, will now deliberate and vote on which companies, individuals and even which country out of the stellar list of nominees, they think should take home the respective trophies.
Among the nominations, some of the world’s blockbuster transactions are of course in there, including Newmont’s acquisition of Newcrest and BHP’s purchase of OZ Minerals. However bigger is not always better in this category and in the past we have had smaller to medium size transactions take the crown.
Awards Dinner
