A premier international event, the Mining 2003 Resources Convention, will be held from 29-31 October this year in Brisbane. Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie MP, will launch the three-day convention. This key event will be an ideal opportunity to showcase Queensland's mineral investment and prospectivity potential to the global exploration, mining and investment community. It will also provide a venue for national and international investors and explorers to meet in Queensland. The forerunner to this year's convention was Mining 2002, which was successfully held in Brisbane in October 2002. With nearly 600 delegates and 57 information booths Mining 2002 created a significant economic benefit to local Brisbane businesses. Following this success in 2002, Mining 2003 will again concentrate on exploration company funding and on Queensland mining opportunities. Many interstate and overseas delegates are expected to attend.
