Cocktail reception on the LME "Ring" sponsored by the London Metal Exchange |
|
Gala dinner at the London Science Museum sponsored by LN Metals International Ltd |
Bringing together the world’s minor metals and related industries, this is the key opportunity to discuss current and future trends.
The 2010 event combines an exceptional programme of presentations with fantastic networking opportunities, including the welcome reception which is hosted by London Metal Exchange on its world famous open outcry trading ring and the gala dinner on April 27 which is being held at the Science Museum. (www.sciencemuseum.org.uk). The gala dinner is very kindly sponsored by LN Metals International Ltd.
The theme for this event is "Minor Metals Transform the World" and the programme will look at areas where there is the potential for positive growth in demand for a wide range of minor metals, for instance in new energy/power solutions and in environmental products, as well as in automotive, aerospace, electronics, turbines, solar power, etc.
The focus now is also on developing new resources to meet the world's growing requirements for ‘Clean Technologies’ and to meet global carbon reduction targets. Many of these technologies are reliant on minor and specialty metals to work. This conference will also address who will supply these resources? What efforts are governments making to ensure that mine projects are developed? What are the prevailing thoughts on stockpiling and inventory management?
Metals covered in this event will include: Cobalt, Molybdenum, Rhenium, Magnesium, Lithium, Selenium, Indium, Tellurium, Cadmium, Rare Earth Metals, Rhodium, Silicon, Germanium, Gallium, Chromium, Silicon, Niobium, Tantalum and many more.
In addition, February 2010 will see the launch of the LME's two new contracts for Cobalt and Molybdenum and this will also be a focus for the conference in 2010.
To register your attendance to the premier global event for the minor metals industry please contact the MMTA or Metal Events on +44 20 7840 0145 or
