On 27 November 2023, Resourcing Tomorrow will be holding its first Critical Minerals Ministerial Roundtable and Reception in London, in conjunction with the Critical Minerals Association and hosted by the UK All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG).
Government delegations from Australia, Armenia, Canada, Chad, Nigeria, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Czech Republic, Portugal, the UK, and the US have confirmed their attendance.
The world is at a key juncture in the transition to greener energy and each resource-rich country is under unique pressure to attract lasting, meaningful investment into the development of their respective Critical Mineral resources.
Robust Critical Minerals policy is key in ensuring a stable landscape for investors, but also one that benefits the local population and country as a whole.
The Resourcing Tomorrow Conference taking place from the 28 – 30 November recognises this importance and is working with governments who are featured on the Conference Programme and will be delivering Ministerial Keynotes.
The Conference will welcome Geoffrey Pyatt, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Energy Resources, US Government.
“The US Inflation Reduction Act is a game changer, providing US$783 billion of investment. Much of it will flow into investments into not just US based mining projects, but also mining projects with countries aligned with Western thinking. At least 40% of critical minerals in US-made EV batteries must come from US miners or recycling plants, or mines in countries with free trade deals with the US,” said Andrew Thake, Divisional Director at Resourcing Tomorrow.
Other Ministers scheduled to speak at the event include:
- Nusrat Ghani, Minister of State at the Department for Business and Trade, UK.
- H.E. Bandar Al Khorayef, Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, Saudi Arabia.
- Dele Alake, Honourable Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Nigeria.
- Josie Osbourne, Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation of British Columbia, Canada.
- Hon. Ranj Pillai, Premier of Yukon, Canada.
- George Pirie, Minister of Mines, Ontario Government, Canada.
- Maïté Blanchette Vézina, Mining and Natural Resources Minister, Quebec Government, Canada.
- Nathalie Camden, Associate Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, Quebec Government, Canada.
- Hon. Abdelkerim Mahamat Abdelkerim, Minister of Mines and Geology, Chad.
