Thought Leadership Series 2024

The Capital Challenge to Fund Mining’s Critical Role

London | Thursday 11 July #TLS2024

Addressing mining’s capital needs

AusIMM and ERM are delighted to showcase AusIMM’s highly successful Thought Leadership Event Series which brings together global executives and finance leaders to explore the pivotal themes shaping the future of the mining sector.

An interactive panel of global industry leaders will discuss "The Capital Challenge to Fund Mining’s Critical Role." We will explore the challenges of how we address the need for more mines, metals and minerals, how do we get capital flowing, and how do we de-risk the sector from an investor perspective to secure finance for future projects.

We are excited to showcase this highly successful event in London as a unique opportunity to have robust conversations examining the global and Australian mining industry.
