Mine to Mission 2026 is an invite-only critical minerals leadership roundtable taking place at Resourcing Tomorrow in London on Tuesday, 1 December 2026.
Held under Chatham House Rule, this confidential 90-minute discussion will bring together senior leaders from government, mining, finance, processing, defence, energy and technology to examine how capital, policy and geopolitical drivers can be converted into deliverable critical minerals projects and resilient supply chains.

This invite-only roundtable is designed for senior leaders with direct influence over critical minerals policy, capital allocation, project development and strategic supply chain delivery.
For senior policy and strategy leaders focused on critical minerals, industrial resilience, procurement and supply chain security.
For export credit agencies, development finance institutions and public finance bodies supporting strategic mining and processing projects.
For producers and project developers building the mineral supply chains needed for defence, energy and technology markets.
For organisations supporting offtake, market access, commercial structuring and supply chain execution.
For defence bodies, procurement agencies and primes exposed to critical minerals supply risk.
For engineering, infrastructure and project delivery organisations involved in bringing complex industrial projects to market.
Western and allied governments are seeking trusted, diversified sources of critical minerals and processed materials as recent rare earth export restrictions expose the risk of single-source dependence.
Defence demand is vital, but automotive, energy, AI and technology sectors continue to drive upstream investment and allocation decisions across critical minerals markets.
Export controls, resource nationalism, mineral independence policies and critical minerals strategies are reshaping where and how mining and processing projects are financed.
Export credit agencies, development finance institutions and strategic investors have signalled appetite for sovereign-aligned supply chain projects, but industry-led coordination is still needed to deploy capital effectively.
As a global mining finance hub, London is positioned to support the capital formation and strategic partnerships needed to deliver critical minerals projects.
The roundtable will identify priority critical minerals and processing capabilities, financing and policy barriers, and practical mechanisms for allied institutions, financiers and industry leaders to develop, co-finance and de-risk strategic projects.
By the close of the discussion, participants will have a clearer view of where action is most needed, which institutions can help move priority projects forward, and what should be progressed beyond the event.
The outcomes will be revisited at Resourcing Tomorrow 2027 in London.
