As Queensland continues to dominate Australian mining output, the Queensland Mining Awards (QMA) has grown to become the region’s premier platform for showcasing our minerals and energy resources sector.
Now in our 12th year, entering QMA is vital for businesses interested in expanding their networks and demonstrating expertise to a qualified audience.
As a signature event of the Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME), Australia’s largest regional mining exhibition, QMA delivers direct access to 600+ industry decision-makers and genuine business development opportunities.
All companies involved in Queensland’s minerals and energy resources sector, from mining companies to contractors and suppliers of any size, are invited to enter the Awards and gain recognition for their hard work and entrepreneurial spirit. The Queensland Resources Council is our major event partner, affirming the significance of the Awards as a benchmark for industry performance.
The Awards Program is accessible, affordable and straightforward to enter, with categories across all mining aspects – productivity, innovation, safety, collaboration, environmental and community or staff initiatives.
QMA’s transparent peer-judging by mining’s C-suite leaders means that people who understand operational realities evaluate every entry. Winners and finalists get more than a certificate and peer recognition, they gain referrals, partnerships, and proven ROI from the outstanding industry connections made.
Beyond the prestige, the Queensland Mining Awards delivers measurable business value through year-round marketing opportunities, exclusive networking access, and direct positioning in front of Queensland’s mining leaders – the people making procurement and partnership decisions.
The Awards attract national media coverage, truly acknowledging and championing Queensland’s resources sector. We hope you will join us to make the 2026 Awards the best yet.
