Aaron Morey, CEO of the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME), sat down with IMARC to discuss Western Australia’s role in the future of the global resources sector. From growing demand for LNG, gold, iron ore, copper and lithium to the importance of investment certainty, efficient project approvals and access to skilled workers, Aaron shares his perspective on what will shape Western Australia’s competitiveness in the years ahead. He also explores the role of technology and innovation in driving opportunities beyond mining and energy, including advanced manufacturing, defence and space, as well as WA’s ambitions in critical minerals processing and economic diversification.
