Agenda

Growing demand for raw materials is drawing investors’ attention to new mining regions – from Africa to Central Asia and South America. These are markets with significant potential, but also with high regulatory, political and infrastructure risk.

Exploration increasingly means making a strategic decision to enter new markets and secure access to resources over the long term. The opportunities for developing new exploration projects in Europe and Central and Eastern Europe are also becoming an increasingly important part of the debate.

Main themes:

• New deposits and mining regions
• Investment and geopolitical risk
• Financing exploration projects
• The exploration potential of Europe and Poland
• Strategies for securing access to raw materials

Key questions:

• Where are the resources of the future located?
• Can Europe rebuild its own mining potential?
• How can exploration risk be reduced?
• How can the development of new projects be accelerated?
