Aspermont's origins are with its flagship magazine, Australia's Mining Monthly, established over 25 years ago. It has consistently been regarded as a market leader, predominantly focussed on the supplier aspect of the resources industry - as it still is today.

Aspermont was subsequently listed in April 2000 and following a management restructure in 2005, commenced a new phase of growth, which has subsequently delivered improved value to its shareholders.

During 2006/2007 the company successfully developed and acquired business interests in several new companies that leveraged on its core strengths in print, online and conferencing media. These are now positioned to deliver sustainable cash flows.

In 2008 Aspermont reached a key milestone in its global expansion with the company acquiring 100% ownership of UK based Mining Communications Limited (MCL). MCL is the publisher of the 175 year old Mining Journal and organiser of the internationally acclaimed Mines & Money Conference Series.
