The Big London Meet-Up: Talking Minerals and More

guess what’s happening in London? A bunch of government bigwigs are getting together to talk about sustainable critical minerals. It’s called the Resourcing Tomorrow Conference, and it’s a pretty big deal. They’re all meeting up from the 28th to the 30th of November, and it’s going to be a real eye-opener.

So, why are they all gathering in London? Well, the world is moving towards greener energy, and that means we need a whole bunch of critical minerals. Each country with these resources is feeling the pressure to attract investment and develop their mineral reserves. It’s not just about making money, though. They want to make sure it benefits the local people and the country as a whole.

The US is making some big moves with the Inflation Reduction Act, pouring a whopping US$783 billion into investments. A big chunk of that is going into mining projects, not just in the US, but also in countries that share similar values. They’re even setting rules for EV batteries, saying that at least 40% of the critical minerals must come from US miners or recycling plants, or from countries with free trade deals with the US.

Some heavy hitters are going to be speaking at the event, like Nusrat Ghani from the UK, Bandar Al Khorayef from Saudi Arabia, and Dele Alake from Nigeria. It’s going to be a star-studded affair, with government reps from Australia, Canada, Chad, and more.

The Resourcing Tomorrow Conference is a big opportunity for anyone interested in the mining sector. It’s not just about the talks; it’s also a chance to network with global mining companies, investors, and suppliers. If you want to know more, check out resourcingtomorrow.com.
