SMERE Open Cut Mining vs IMARC

The Open Cut Mining Experience has been developed for the students of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering (MERE) subjects at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. The app provides an overview of the mining process of an operating Hunter Valley Coal Mine from start to finish. A cross-section schematic diagram is presented as an interactive menu to show the viewer where each of the mining stages fit in context and how they relate to the underlying geology. The viewer can select to visit a variety of sites corresponding to the mining stages. A series of 360-degree photos and videos are used to take the viewer "onto the ground" at each location where they can look around and observe the conditions with a voice-over that explains what they are looking at.

The International Mining and Resources Conference + Expo (IMARC) will be held at the ICC Sydney from 21 - 23 October 2025. Learn from more than 500+ mining leaders and resource experts throughout six concurrent conferences covering the entire mining value chain. Explore the exhibition featuring over 500 solution providers from around the world, showcasing the latest technology, machinery, and services that are driving innovation and productivity across the mining sector. The show app features the full conference program and a map of the exhibition floor to help attendees easily navigate their way around IMARC. The app features speakers, exhibitors, and highlights. Attendees can create a personalised agenda of keynote panels, presentations, and more; with the ability to edit pre-show and onsite. Attendees can also access information on the various networking events that will take place across the three days, including the IMARC Gala Dinner and the Traxys IMARC Connect meeting platform.
