Critical Mineral Processing & Value Addition

The critical minerals story is shifting from extraction to refining, processing and downstream manufacturing, with governments increasingly focused on capturing more of that value domestically.

China still dominates global processing capacity for many critical minerals, but industrial policy, export restrictions and incentives across Asia, Africa and Latin America are actively working to shift that balance. At the same time, OEMs and manufacturers are pushing for more diversified and resilient processing capacity.

This means new refining hubs and technologies are being developed now, creating an immediate opportunity for processors, metallurgists, engineers and manufacturers to influence where and how the next generation of critical mineral capacity is built.

Practical outcomes

Identify emerging processing opportunities

Understand where new refining and processing hubs are developing, which minerals they are targeting and the technologies supporting their growth.

Evaluate opportunities to move downstream

Explore how mining companies are linking extraction with processing and assess where beneficiation or refining could unlock greater value from your own projects and operations.

Benchmark new processing technologies

Compare advances in recovery rates, emissions reduction and cost efficiency to identify solutions that could improve operational performance and project economics.

Find the right technical and commercial partners

Connect with processors, metallurgists, technology providers and manufacturers who can support technology selection, plant development and downstream expansion.

Where relationships meet returns

Conference themes

The 2027 agenda is designed to educate and inform Asian capital on current market realities, including:

Hong Kong as a Financial Hub
Hong Kong as a Financial Hub

Hong Kong isn't just where mining companies go to IPO, it's where Asia's critical mineral economy actually gets built.

Hong Kong's Gold Ecosystem: Clearing, Storage & the Next Trading Hub
Hong Kong's Gold Ecosystem: Clearing, Storage & the Next Trading Hub

Gold is having a moment. The question isn't whether Asian demand exists; it's where it clears, settles, and trades.

Belt & Road: Asia's Capital, Africa's Minerals
Belt & Road: Asia's Capital, Africa's Minerals

Africa's mineral wealth is being unlocked not just by mining companies, but by an expanding web of Asian capital, infrastructure and industrial strategy.

Capital Under Pressure: Discipline, Delivery, Certainty
Capital Under Pressure: Discipline, Delivery, Certainty

Mining's next decade won't be won by the biggest capex budget. It'll be won by the operators who deploy capital with the most discipline and the least wasted motion.
