Diggers & Dealers 2025: Day 1 of WA annual mining forum in Kalgoorlie-Boulder
The annual Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum begins in its famed home of Kalgoorlie-Boulder today, with goldies once again ruling the roost. Brokers, explorers, contractors miners and media have been piling into the regional town since Sunday, filling up pubs and accommodation to the brim. Despite the ripper run in the yellow metal it's uranium players Paladin Energy and Boss Energy that will greet them as the opening company acts at the Goldfields Arts Centre on Monday, despite a recent capitulation in both share prices. Presenters Dr Chris Keefer from Canadians for Nuclear Energy and Aidan Morrison from Centre for Independent Studies are also due to present. Stay tuned for rolling coverage over the next three days. Cars and utes are stacked around the block. Punters who have travelled from Perth and beyond have been rushing in to grab their passes and a free coffee before the presentations kick off. Delegates are making the final touches to their booths. And the main auditorium has been slowly filling as chairman Jim Walker readies for his speech. The weather is brisk but sunny, and the mood so far genial and upbeat. Stay with us as we keep you updated on the key moments from the Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum in Kalgoorlie.

ASX-listed gold miners arrive at Diggers & Dealers with more than $7.5b of cash and bullion to play with
Local gold miners are making the annual pilgrimage to Kalgoorlie while carrying piggy banks bursting at the seams. The Diggers & Dealers Mining Forum begins in the gold heartland on Monday after a record year for the precious metal. Gold miners were already flying high at last year's Diggers & Dealers and since then bullion's value in Australian dollar terms has surged another 38 per cent to $5120 an ounce. ASX-listed producers of the precious metal are now flush with funds — collectively holding more than $7.5 billion of cash and bullion at June 30. How those riches will be spent, or not spent, is set to dominate conversation among the 2000-plus attendees at the three-day conference. 'Perhaps they could be used for further acquisitions although prices now paid to obtain such new assets are very high,' Surbiton Associates director Sandra Close said. 'The concern is that the larger the cash reserves become, the more the company may become a tempting takeover target.' Dr Close, who has been a gold industry analyst for three decades, said there was 'another rather obvious solution'. 'I am sure that shareholders would love to see higher dividends.' A wave of consolidation has already swept through the gold industry over the past 18 months, with about $9 billion of mergers between Red 5 and Silver Lake Resources, Westgold Resources and Karora Resources, and Ramelius Resources and Spartan Resources. Gold mines and early-stage developments have also been snapped up at a premium left, right and centre across WA. South Africa's Gold Fields in May shook hands with Gruyere mine partner Gold Road Resources to buy its half stake in the Goldfields project for $3.7b in cash and shares. A day prior to this handshake, Northern Star Resources wrapped up its all-stock deal to take control of De Grey Mining and its prized Hemi development in the Pilbara for $6b. Northern Star has the biggest pile of cash and bullion among miners listed on Australia's bourse. It held $1.9b at June 30, well ahead of Ramelius in second place at $810m. Evolution Mining had $760m, Vault Minerals $686m, Greatland Gold $575m and Regis Resources $517m as the other local miners with liquid asset balances over half a billion dollars by the end of FY2025. While gold chiefs are poised to chest-beat at Kalgoorlie's Goldfields Arts Centre's lectern, their battery metals counterparts will cut forlorn figures for the second year in a row. Some, like IGO's Ivan Vella, have decided not to front. WA's once-thriving nickel industry is one mine closure away from complete collapse, lithium remains in the doldrums and no local rare earth element explorers of note had a bumper year. Uranium has also lost its glow. The radioactive commodity became a hot topic at last year's Diggers & Dealers after former Coalition leader Peter Dutton gatecrashed the conference to spruik his nuclear energy policy. Mr Dutton's election failure in May and weakening uranium prices over the past 12 months have largely killed the hype. A notable absence at this year's forum will be the presence of any of the three biggest miners in the State — BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue. Fortescue presented last year via Kristen Pelc, a corporate development manager, and BHP had a booth — infamously an empty one after announcing a month prior to the conference that is sprawling Nickel West arm would into care and maintenance.
