Sponsored Organisations
SMEDG – Sydney Minerals and Exploration Discussion Group
H&SC have had a long running relationship with SMEDG sponsoring a number of events, helping on the committee and organising conferences.
The Sydney Mining Club
The Sydney Mining Club was formed in March 1997 to bring people in the mining industry together, it was formed to allow anyone to be involved. H&SC has been involved in the Sydney Mining Club since its inception. Some of the underlying principles are:
- Be inclusive – come to one Mining Club forum and you are ‘a member’ for life. In practice it means you are permanently added to our email list and are not required to pay any membership fee or perform any formality.
- Include the media as our guests.
- Avoid droning and technical presenters. Prepare speakers to take a lively ‘current affairs’ outlook to their story and to give something of a beachhead presentation about their company growth, their passions, rocks, riches and the big picture behind their work.
- Limit the formalities and introductions. Present with a tight lunchtime slot that gets you back to the office soon after 2.00 pm.
- Remind the members that they own the club and try to reflect their sentiments in the Club’s running.
