ABCC at Exposibram 2007

The largest mining exhibition in Brazil took place in Belo Horizonte from 24 to 27th September. Our vice-president Ms Lyn Forsyth participated at Exposibram and had the support of our sister Chamber COCBA (Camara Ofocial de Comercio Brasil-Australia) which has a stand at the fair and organises a number of events surrounding the Mining Forum.
This year the attendance was at a record and Australia was well represented with a delegation comprising companies from Queensland as well as a number of companies assisted by Austrade, leaded by of Benjamin Guimaraes and Marcos Soares. The delegates attended along with the Australian Ambassador to Brazil, His Excellency Peter Heyward, Mr Jose Blanco (ALABC Chairman) and Senior Trade Commissioner Mark Agar a dinner hosted by the ABCC-COCBA.
