On the back of sharing invaluable insights on the panel for Future Female Leaders' STEM Day in May, Emma Edwards, MMS Chief Development Officer, plans to again at the upcoming NT Mining in the Territory Conference across 2nd & 3rd September 2026. This time, Emma will be speaking about key MMS case studies and operations.
Most people hear "contract mining" and think tonnes moved. Emma sees it differently. "Where tech services delivers value is by maximising ore recovery. It's not just about mining tons, it's about getting the most value out of the ore deposit."
Emma grew up in the goldfields and has worked across the entire value chain, from greenfields exploration through to production, shipping and logistics.
That's the thinking behind MMS's technical services team, who are constantly chasing smarter ways to work that better optimise the mine, from quicker geological modelling to faster assay techniques like photon assays.
The Northern Territory event, held at the Darwin Convention Centre, brings together three leading conferences, SEAAOC, Mining the Territory, and Clean Energy & Digital Infrastructure, under one roof, with over 900 industry professionals and 100+ speakers exploring the Northern Territory's growing resources, energy and infrastructure opportunities.
