About Us

The BBMC connects you to the mining sector

Our aim is to open the communication pipeline right across the resource sector.

Building relationships with key procurement executives, CEO’s and industry influencers is vital, but making it happen can be difficult. The BBMC is designed to promote healthy business relationships and foster growth.

Membership of the BBMC gives you a regular seat at the table. We’ve seen significant new leads developed and game-changing meetings of minds with innovative business development. It’s completely free to join – members only pay to attend each luncheon.

We have a ‘no-media’ policy at luncheons that fosters a relaxed and convivial atmosphere among peers.

The BBMC also actively champions and advocates for the Bowen Basin mining industry at sector events in metropolitan areas. We hold ancillary events to directly connect mining companies with stakeholders, we publish an industry Yearbook and we are proud to host the bi-annual Queensland Mining Awards.

Speakers

Since its inception, the BBMC consistently presents speakers who are current thought leaders and industry influencers. From CEO’s to project directors and procurement executives, BBMC events attract guest speakers who are leaders and influencers. A popular feature of our luncheons is always the ‘meet and greet’ after lunch with our featured speakers and sponsors.

BBMC Sponsors

A limited number of sponsorship opportunities allow you to raise your company’s profile to the sector and represents excellent branding and positioning value.

Sponsors also enjoy exclusive pre-luncheon drinks with guest speakers and presentation and media marketing opportunities throughout the year.

Queensland Mining Awards

From the inaugural awards competition in 2014 the Queensland Mining Awards has become a premier event of the Queensland Mining Expo, held bi-annually in Mackay.

The BBMC owns and administers the awards program, and hosts the gala dinner where Queensland’s most innovative and forward-thinking sector achievements are celebrated and rewarded.

BBMC Yearbook

The BBMC’s Yearbook is a prestigious summation of the year’s activity in the resources sector and also features thought leadership commentary from peak bodies, government leaders and industry major players.

Limited advertising and Mining Services Directory packages can ensure your company is represented in the yearbook’s national reach into industry boardrooms, offices, reception areas, hotels and mine sites.

BBMC Crib Room Podcast

We created the BBMC Crib Room Podcast during 2020, as a way to keep our community connected with industry changes while things were uncertain. The format is here to stay, as we bring you insights from industry movers, shakers and thought leaders. You’ll hear from mining stalwarts like the QRC’s Ian Macfarlane, CEOs and managers of mines across the Bowen Basin, plus contractors who are pushing the boundaries of innovation. It’s just like a great chat across the crib room table – informal, insightful and entertaining. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts.
