Sundowner & Charity Auction
Thanks to our sundowner sponsor
Anglogold Ashanti Australia,
returning in 2025 – and supporting us since 2021 –
attendees enjoyed a moment of conviviality, among nibbles and drinks.
As a result of widespread generosity, the 2024 edition of the silent auction brought $6,187 whilst the live auction raised $10,360 thanks to the support of our patrons.
Core learning foundation ($1430), with Kanyana Wildlife Rescue ($2210), in addition to Street Friends WA ($5500) and -unsurprisingly- the Mineralogical Society of Western Australia ($3310) will benefit from the over AU$16500 raised in 2024.
We outdid ourselves this year despite a smaller audience than before!
Thank you.

PGMS 2023 is just around the corner! But did you know we also hold an exclusive evening during the show? With thanks to AngloGold Ashanti Australia, we bring you the Sundowner and Auction Evening for the third Perth Gem and Mineral Show.
The event will include nibbles, drinks, various meals and a variety of sides followed by an exclusive mineral auction.
Charities this year include Core learning foundation, Kanyana Wildlife Rescue, Street Friends WA and MinSocWA.
Last year we raised over AU$18,050 for charity and hope to achieve similar this year.
Vendors and members of MinSocWA will have access to purchase tickets from 1st October until Sunday 10th October (check your emails for this offer). From 11 October onwards, tickets will be open to the general public.
Tickets are just $60. We hope you can join us for this special event!
If you are a mineral collector, geologist, jeweler, mining professional, student, hobbyist or commercial dealer and wish to socialise with like-minded people AND raise money for a great cause – this event is for you.
None of that could have happened without the support of generous donors of mineral specimens and the respective generous buyers.
Charity Rocks!
