Metals in the Future – why now?

Understanding materials flows and successfully predicting long-term demand has always been central to maintaining a leadership position in the metals and mining sector. However, as the world strives to meet environmental targets, the complexity of accurately forecasting future resource requirements increases and regulatory uncertainty also contributes to creating further challenges around long-term incentive prices and the business environment. The pace of change is accelerating significantly and, given the long -times and high capital costs required to bring new mines and mills to market, it is imperative the industry acts now, to make itself as attractive as possible to investors and to ensure adequate supply of the materials that are building the future. Metals in the Future 2018 is a pioneering conference which will deliver significant insight into the impact that developments in green energy transportation, infrastructure and regulation will have on metals demand, availability, and production costs.
