About Mines and Money
Mines and Money is Asia’s largest mining investment conference and exhibition. Now in its 11th year, it has generated millions of dollars in new business, deals and opportunities and helped to finance hundreds of miners.
With majors looking at replenishing their resources, explorers once again raising money, and M&A deals getting done, Mines and Money is still how and where deals get done.
This year’s event is already shaping up to be bigger and better with over 1,500 global mining leaders and investors from over 40 countries expected to attend the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre from 3-6 April 2018 to hear from over 150 speakers for three and half days of learning, networking and deal making.
Furthermore, with the addition of our brand new investor relations partner matching projects with global investment in pre-set meetings on the event floor, complimented by our brand new Mines and Money app this year’s event expects to see a 25% increase of new investors from some of the most active funds in the region so this is truly one event you cannot afford to miss.
This year’s programme will cover the old favourites including gold, precious and base metals; as well as battery metals that are driving the future of energy; while also looking at the carbon to electron revolution taking place. There will also be a strong focus on Belt and Road and the enormous impact on commodity demand, alongside the lessons that can be learnt following the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
