Austrade export adviser Hilary Barsby told International Longwall News plenty of interest from exhibitors had been shown so far in the international buyers.

Austrade is offering a free online business matching service where exhibitors can view buyer profiles and express interest for an individual meeting.

Austrade's business development managers will be bringing over buyers from India, New Caledonia, New Zealand and the United States.

Barsby said Austrade had hosted similar delegations at AIMEX, the Goldfields Mining Exhibition and QME in the past.

Austrade and the Queensland Government will also host a networking function during the exhibition.
