Mining Summit
Video on demand is now available
The energy transition should be a boon for the mining industry. Huge volumes of metals will be needed to build the clean energy infrastructure required to decarbonise the global economy. But current plans for new supply fall far short of anticipated demand. Governments have developed critical minerals strategies but are failing to provide the right support in the right places. Mining companies see a growing market for many metals but too few are building new mines. Investors want exposure to the energy transition and yet the mining sector is struggling to attract capital.
There is a huge opportunity for the mining industry to supply the energy transition but unless companies, governments and investors pull in the same direction, new mines will not be built, production will not increase and the transition will stall.
The 5th edition of the FT Mining Summit gathered the sector’s leading miners, financiers and policymakers to tackle this challenge head on through thought-provoking keynote interviews and lively debates, all whilst setting the agenda for LME Week ahead.
A huge thank you to all those who attended in-person and online, to all of our incredible speakers and valued sponsors. We hope to see you all again next year on 9-10 October 2025.
