 Session 1: Impact of geopolitics on the present and future of mining in Central Asia 

Moderated by David Pearce, Principal Mining Engineer, SRK (Consulting) UK

The Russia-Ukraine conflict, the rising energy costs, and the disruption of international logistics and supply chains have severely affected mining operations across the Eurasian continent and other parts of the world. To maintain production targets and commitments the mining industry went through a major overhaul which also opens opportunities for wider cooperation with global markets.

  • How has the Ukraine-Russia conflict impacted mining in Central Asian states, Mongolia, and what steps are the businesses, and the local governments taking to circumvent them?
  • Update on FDI policies and priorities
  • What opportunities are arising for international investors and supply chain companies in the region?
  • Mitigating the impact of geopolitical risks from exploration to production and delivery to the customers.

 

Session 2: Securing supply of metals and critical raw materials from Eurasia

Moderated by  Tim Lucks, Managing Director & Principal Consultant, SRK Consulting (UK)

The energy transition is causing a surge in demand for minerals for clean energy technologies. As Russia’s and China’s dominance as the global suppliers of these raw materials is diminishing due to sanctions and trade disputes, Central Asia, Mongolia and some European countries are likely to become new hotspots for mineral extraction and a major global supplier of selected critical materials for clean energy technologies.

  • Mining and Renewable energy infrastructure projects 
  • Mining spotlights and company presentations

Moderated by Richard Oldcorn, Corporate Consultant, SRK Consulting (UK)

• Meeting ESG and Climate change commitments.
• Securing the supply of critical raw materials to global markets.
