Leaders across sectors came together to explore “Maximising Mining Value: The Strategic Benefits of Asset Management Excellence” at an Asset Management Council side event at IMARC 2025.
Asset management is more than a technical discipline — it is a strategic enabler of productivity, resilience, and long-term value. Our panel delivered a rich, forward-looking discussion on how a whole-of-life, systems-based approach aligned to ISO 55001 principles — leadership, value, and alignment — can:
✅ Drive operational excellence
✅ Deliver measurable gains in cost efficiency and risk management
✅ Enable sustainable growth
✅ Position mining enterprises to thrive in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven global market.
A huge thank you to our outstanding panellists — all active AMC members — who shared their deep expertise and real-world insights:
👏 Dr Yvonne Power – Director, IMPOWER TECHNOLOGIES
👏 Stephen Renshaw – Asset Management System Specialist, Transgrid
👏 Monika Lemajic – Asset Manager Marine, Port Authority of NSW
And special thanks to our skilled facilitator and National Chair, Toby Horstead, who ensured a dynamic and insightful conversation that connected strategy, technology, and operational realities.
The panel explored critical questions around:
🔹 How structured asset management frameworks can unlock cost, risk and performance improvements in mining.
🔹 The role of advanced technologies and AI in knowledge management, predictive maintenance, and lifecycle planning.
🔹 Integrity management and corrosion control strategies to extend asset life and safeguard operational reliability.
🔹 How aligning port, vessel, and mining operations strengthens supply chains and creates sustainable value.
The message was clear: Asset management is not just about maintaining assets — it’s about enabling enduring competitiveness.
