Collaboration, not competition, was the objective behind a trade mission by Australian mining suppliers to Sudbury this week.
Austmine, the Down Under version of MineConnect, brought representatives from 13 companies to the Nickel City to meet-and-greet with mining companies and area suppliers to get a feel for the market and determine if there are any alliances to be had.
“For us, it’s fact-finding reconnaissance trip,” said Robert Trzebski, Austmine’s vice-president of international business and leader of the 15-person delegation.
