Future Minerals Forum (Saudi Arabia)

"New Lands Of Opportunity\nFuture economic growth and prosperity requires robust supply of minerals and metals.\n\nDemand for commodities like copper, steel and aluminium has increased exponentially to sustain our growing need for essential materials and power.\n\nThese drivers for consumption can only continue to proceed if the mineral and metal value chains’ capacity and logistics are at pace.\n\nThe adoption of ‘green metals’ and establishment of ‘industrial hubs’ in an emerging minerals super region that stretches from Africa through the Middle East and into Central and East Asia will have a huge impact on the future development of resilient supply chains of minerals and metals.\n\nThese countries hold large resource endowments that present a strategic base for all minerals deemed critical to our future.\n\nComing together, they increase their share of mineral output and promote themselves as international champions to the world."
