WASM Wallabies

A week ago, the WASM Wallabies Integrated Industrial Co-ed Team competed in the 48th Intercollegiate Mining Games Competition, hosted by the University of Arizona in Tucson, USA! ⛏️

Our Co-ed Team gave it their all, showing strong commitment and teamwork while competing against the best Mining Games teams in the world. It was great to see the effort and sportsmanship demonstrated by all teams throughout the competition! 💪

A special thank you to the University of Arizona for delivering a well organised and successful event. We also extend our appreciation to the organisers, volunteers and fellow competitors who contributed to such an amazing experience. It is always inspiring to see this community come together every year. 🙌

A sincere thank you to all of our generous sponsors for making this opportunity possible, we truly could not have done it without your support and we greatly appreciate your involvement within our community!! 💚💛

What a weekend in Kalgoorlie! The WASM Wallabies had an incredible time travelling up to Kalgoorlie for the annual Emu Cup, competing alongside some fantastic teams. Congratulations to everyone who took part and a special thank you to the WASM Wombats for hosting us and putting on such a fantastic event. ⚒️

Beyond the competition, we thoroughly enjoyed attending the WASM Guild Ball and the WASM Social Club, it was a great opportunity to connect with the wider mining and student community at Kalgoorlie and experience the amazing spirit that defines WASM. For many of our members, this was their first visit to Kalgoorlie and highlights like checking out the Super Pit made the trip even more memorable.

We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors for their ongoing support in making opportunities like this possible. A special thank you to Integrated Industrial, who also supplied our PPE and uniforms, and to Vault Minerals for sponsoring our Emu Cup teams and supporting the next generation of mining professionals. We’d also like to thank Steel Blue, SafeStyle and Big Yellow Mining for providing our team with high quality safety gear that keeps us protected and competition ready.

Experiences like this, where our community comes together with a shared passion, truly showcase the heart and teamwork that defines the mining industry. 🙌

Thank you to everyone who came down to our BBQ with our special guests from Integrated Industrial. It was not only a great way to come together before competition, but also a moment to reflect on over a decade of incredible support from our sponsors.

For more than 10 years, the team at Integrated Industrial have kept us equipped with high quality uniforms, safety gear and everything we need to perform at our best. Your ongoing support ensures that our team can focus on training, competing and representing our community with pride. We’re so grateful for everything you do behind the scenes that makes everything possible.

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to send the Wallabies off to Kalgoorlie to compete in the Emu Cup! 💪

The APAC Mining Games have been an unforgettable experience for the WASM Wallabies! Over the weekend our teams had the chance to showcase months worth of training, connect with peers from all across Australia and proudly represent our community on the national stage.

A huge thanks to all of our sponsors for the event, we couldn’t have done it without your help. With Integrated Industrial and Dyno Nobel sponsoring our Men's A and Mixed Teams respectively, we are proud to be supported by leaders of the industry. Your support allows our members to compete, develop and help shape the future of the mining industry. We extend this thanks to Steel Blue, SafeStyle and Big Yellow Mining Pty Ltd for keeping us safe and providing us with high quality PPE.

We are extremely proud of our teams, with each member giving it their best throughout every event, despite the downpour and cold. Congratulations to the Dyno Nobel WASM Wallabies Mixed Team on their outstanding achievement, taking home 1st place in the Mixed Division and to the Integrated Industrial WASM Wallabies Men's Team for securing 5th.🥇

Earlier, the WASM Wallabies also participated in the New Leaders Summit, where our members met with and heard from industry leaders and forged lasting relationships with like-minded students.

A big thank you also goes out to AusIMM, event sponsors, organisers and volunteers who made these events possible. It was truly inspiring to see the effort and teamwork displayed from everyone to be able to make this come to life.

We’re excited to see what’s next and can’t wait to welcome the opportunities ahead! 💪

The WASM Wallabies recently competed in the Swan Cup and what an experience it was! Our teams showed determination, teamwork and sportsmanship throughout every event. It was amazing to see the energy and support from our members and community as a whole. 💪

A huge job well done to the Vault Minerals WASM Wallabies Co-ed A team for winning 1st place! 🏆

A huge thanks to our sponsors, volunteer judges and to everyone who helped set-up, run and pack-up the event. It truly was a team effort from everyone involved. 👏

It was truly such a fun and memorable event, and there’s more competition to come soon. Stay tuned! 🙌
