The Melbourne Mining Club runs six luncheons each year, mainly in the historic Melbourne Town Hall. Keynote speakers include the top executives and chairmen of the world’s leading resource companies, drawn to one of the most knowledgeable audiences of resource industry representatives as well as senior investment and media representatives.
From acorns, big trees grow. The Melbourne Mining Club’s commitment to the resources sector is highlighted in our Cutting Edge events which provide a forum for small-to mid-cap exploration and development companies to showcase their activities, management and business strategies in an informal gathering on a Tuesday afternoon, starting at 5.30 pm, at the Melbourne Town Hall.

Memorandum of Understanding
Between The Melbourne Mining Club (MMC) and The Global Mining Association of China (GMAC)
The Melbourne Mining Club, founded in 2001, is a not-for-profit organisation formed to promote the minerals industry and is Australia’s premier forum for the promotion of the Australian resources sector.
It is based in Melbourne, the Hub of the Australian mining sector.
GMAC is the representative body for both companies and individuals within the international mining community in China. GMAC’s main goals focus on Advocacy, Networking, Representation and Support of its members in the international mining community in China.
Background
MMC and GMAC recognise the long history of mining in Australia and China, the strong relationship and mutual respect between resources professionals of the two countries, and the considerable advantage of having strong and constructive dialogue between all levels of the industry in Australia and China.
The MOU recognises the close trade relations between China and Australia and that the mining sector has been the most significant contributor to that strong trading relationship.
MMC and GMAC have consistent goals to boost the broad mining industry in both countries for the mutual benefit of the industry globally as well as in their respective country.

The Melbourne Mining Club had another triumphant luncheon this May, at the Melbourne Town Hall. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to keynote speaker Bob Vassie, CEO, St Barbara.
During Bob’s speech, he shared with the room a picture of himself at the Gwalia mine-site, dressed head to toe in his safety attire. At the time, Bob mentioned that he felt the horizontal reflective stripes on his shirt were not overly flattering and that he really should speak to the team at Hard Yakka to see if they could do something about this. Lucky for Bob, John Ripani and Caroline Rolleston from Workwear Group were attending the lunch. Workwear Group design and manufacture the Hard Yakka and KingGee brands and were able to come up with a creative solution to meet Bob’s desire for a new ‘slim look’ shirt with vertical stripes. Whilst Workwear Group have noted that the vertical stripes are non-compliant, the Melbourne Mining Club did want to have some fun and share the photo of Bob wearing his shirt. (see below) We do feel that this design should be named the ‘Vassie’.
Thanks Bob, John and Caroline for being part of the fun and thank you in advance to Workwear Group, part of the Wesfarmers Industrial & Safety, for their generosity and support for our Safety First luncheon later this year, timed perfectly with the Feast of St Barbara – the patron Saint of Miners.
