Metals & Mining Summit
Limited final release tickets on sale now
As the energy transition accelerates, and demand for rare and critical minerals intensifies, the world’s expectations of the mining industry have never been greater. Policymakers, manufacturers, and investors are pushing for greater supply at the same time as increased sustainability and transparency — all while geopolitical realignment and a US-led trade war ramp up uncertainty and risk.
Mining groups and companies in the value chain must also grapple with fundamental constraints within the sector. Investment is uneven. Smelting and refining operations are facing competition from facilities in China and more difficult market conditions. Even as governments roll out critical minerals strategies, progress on the ground can be slowed by regulatory bottlenecks, weak community engagement, and fragmented value chains.
Against this backdrop, the 6th edition of the FT Mining and Metals Summit will gather company leaders, financiers and policymakers to tackle these challenges head on — through thought-provoking keynote interviews and lively debates, setting the agenda for LME Week and the next 12 months.
