Resourcing Tomorrow divisional director Andrew Thake talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about final preparations for the upcoming Resourcing Tomorrow 2025 conference.
The event will welcome over 2,100 C-suite attendees from more than 90 countries. Thake said the conference has expanded in recent years to include the full mining value chain, not just junior miners but also majors, mid-tiers, governments and investors. “We’ve made a real effort to attract the majors, the mid-tiers, the governments as well, and other players in the value chain,” he said.
One notable feature will be a government roundtable at the London Stock Exchange, attended by representatives from 64 governments, including 27 at ministerial level. According to Thake, this will help set the stage for wider discussions around G7 critical minerals policy.
This year’s agenda includes sessions on Defence Critical Minerals, mining opportunities in Ukraine, and artificial intelligence in exploration and production. “We've got like Fleet Space running a leadership roundtable on that,” Thake noted when discussing AI use in mining.
Other themes include resilient supply chains and global commodity trends, especially the focus on gold and rare earths. New speakers include Fortescue’s Dino Otranto and Martin Sorrell, discussing mining and brand identity.
