Supporting local business is a key priority for MMG’s Dugald River mine, with the team participating in key events to boost spending while delivering community economic benefits.

Engaging in events brings local suppliers and buyers together, facilitating greater supply chain opportunities. MMG’s attendance at the annual North West MPX event, hosted in Queensland’s Mount Isa mining town, connected MMG with over 100 exhibitors offering goods and services for mining operations. The three-day event promoted networking, matching supplier solutions to MMGs needs and enhancing the industry-leading standard of MMG’s business.

The Dugald River team used the event as a forum to deliver a local supplier roadshow, visiting host and regional communities and meeting relevant businesses. As a result of the team’s engagement and local participation, Dugald River increased its local business spend in Cloncurry and Mt Isa by 58.8% in 2022.
