Mining Indaba highlighted a growing consensus that a commodities supercycle is taking shape, driven by electrification, the energy transition, and supply chain security. As Managing Director Luke Derbyshire explains, SPOKE returned from the conference in Cape Town with a clear takeaway: globally, industry is positioning to capitalise on a significant surge in demand across precious and base metals, alongside critical minerals.
AN EVENT FOR THE AGES IN LONDON
Following the launch of our London office in 2025, SPOKE successfully executed our Capital Markets Tasting Table event in the heart of the UK. The landmark event marked an important milestone in strengthening our UK network and opening the door for Australian mining and exploration companies seeking to engage the London capital market.
GOVT RELATIONS ENTERS THE FOLD
Navigating the complexities of government, politics, policy, legislation, regulation and broader stakeholder groups is challenging. SPOKE’s government relations services connect you with influential policymakers and government stakeholders to help shape policy, regulatory and community outcomes.
This year marked a major milestone for SPOKE’s long-term partner WesTrac, as the leading machines and equipment dealer celebrated Caterpillar®’s 100-year anniversary. To bring the story to life, SPOKE captured nine interviews and hours of footage over a week of filming across Australia, crafting a compelling narrative to reflect the legacy of these industry-leading companies.
In November, two teams of first-time debaters comprising exploration managers and mining professionals, took to the stage in front of hundreds of people to determine who could find gold faster: Geologists or artificial intelligence. To help the debaters shine, SPOKE provided customised training to boost their presentation skills, instilling confidence ahead of the Gold Industry Group’s event.
ENERGISING RENEWABLES EDUCATION
Global producer Gold Fields’ St Ives Gold Mine in Western Australia is undergoing one of the most significant renewable energy transformations in our nation’s mining sector. Throughout 2025, SPOKE was engaged to deliver communications, education and stakeholder engagement programs across schools and communities in the Goldfields and Mid West.
GLOBAL LAUNCH FOR A DUAL LISTING
A dual listing is a well-established pathway for companies seeking to broaden their market presence, so when Alliance Nickel (ASX:AXN) decided to pursue a listing on the Nasdaq, SPOKE kicked into gear. From organising journalist briefings and developing key messages, to engaging with Government Ministers and international diplomats, SPOKE helped put the nickel company’s corporate story in front of the right audience.
