Minor Metals 2005

Marriott Hotel, Lisbon, Portugal

June 1st –3rd 2005

Make sure you keep one step ahead - Book your place today at the premier event for the minor/specialty metals industry and benefit from big savings on the full delegate fee!

With many minor metal prices having soared over the last twelve months there will be much to discuss at Minor Metals 2005. China has continued to exert a powerful influence over the markets, new uses and technology have led to exponential growth in demand for some metals and an improved economic outlook in Europe and the USA has seen demand from end-use sectors grow.

The meeting will provide invaluable market knowledge for anyone in the industry and is the year’s main networking event for producers, consumers, traders and service providers to the minor metals industry. Presentations will cover specific metal markets as well as more general issues such as China, government stockpiles and the potentially huge changes that the proposed European REACH legislation could have on the industry.
