CRU Metals in the Future 2018
2018-03-19 09:00 - 2018-03-20 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Hilton London Paddington, 146 Praed Street, London, W2 1EE, United Kingdom
Metals in the Future 2018 is a new conference to be held in London, March 2018. It will explore the long-term impact of green technology on metals supply and demand. It examines a broad spectrum of materials, including steel, aluminium, base metals, minor metals and ferroalloys.
Understanding materials flows and successfully predicting long-term demand has always been central to maintaining a leadership position in the metals and mining sector. However, as the world strives to meet climate change targets, the complexity of accurately forecasting future resource requirements is increased, in large part due to the challenge of successfully predicting which green technologies will prove most successful. The stakes are also raised financially by the green economy’s step up in metals intensity and the increased costs associated with bringing new projects to market, especially when there is disagreement on the long run price of the commodity in question.
The growth in the green economy is being matched by a relentless tide of disruptive innovation brought about by the increasingly networked way in which we live our lives, and the data that is produced as a consequence. Whilst also interesting from a materials perspective, perhaps the greatest opportunity for metals and mining lies in what this means for efficiency, for greater interdependence between energy companies, miners, metals producers and consumers, and for how materials are produced, transported, stocked, consumed, monitored and brought back into the loop at the end of life.
Metals in the Future 2018 will deliver significant insight into unfolding metals market scenarios. With its expertise in over 120 ore, metals and alloys markets, and a deep understanding of developed and developing markets alike, CRU is uniquely positioned to deliver this pivotal conference.
Representatives from Rio Tinto, ArcleorMittal, Anglo American Platinum, Teck and CRU are all so far confirmed to speak

“Ore Deposits: providing resources for present and future generations”
It is worthy to highlight that this is the first time for Argentina to host such an important meeting. South America, particularly the Andean region that includes some of the richest metallogenic provinces in the world, such as the richest Cu-Mo province, one of the most extensive and rich Sn and Ag belts, one of the richest Sb belts, the most important concentrations of Li in salars, and one of the richest borates provinces. Also it hosts some of the largest individual ore deposits such as Cerro Rico de Potosí, Llallagua, Chuquicamata and El Teniente mines. South America offers excellent geology hosting world class mineral deposits covering the past 2 billion years of Earth’s metallogenic history, encompassing almost every conceivable metallogenic process.
Thus the region offers something that will tempt every economic geologist and metallogenist. The diversity of the geology, mineral resources, and local population invite the world to investigate and discuss our science and enjoy Argentina’s renowned hospitality. The chance for Argentina to host this important meeting is a unique opportunity to help create an extraordinary environment for the presentation and exchange of knowledge and research results on the genesis of mineral deposits.
It will also give an invaluable occasion for local scientists to expand upon their training in various aspects related to metallogeny and research tools. The Argentine bid commits to enhance the participation in the IAGOD Symposium of young geoscientists, students, and delegates from less advantaged countries from around the globe. The commitments from the Geological Survey of Argentina and the Geological Association of Argentina, the support from the Ibero-American Geological and Mining Survey Association, as well as from the private natural resources sector, guarantee a successful 15th Quadrennial IAGOD Symposium.
There are five field trips planned. Trips are organized in order to visit world class deposits of metals (Ag, Sn, Cu) and nonmetals (B, Li), as well as having the opportunity to discover the cultural aspects of the region and their inhabitants, involving mines from Argentina, Bolivia, and Chile.

Industry leaders and experts offer delegates insights into the Canadian and international coal industry. Stay ahead of the curve by learning about the latest developments and trends in the coal industry and make business connections that will last long after the conference is over.
In addition to our first-class presentations and panels, our social and networking events give delegates a chance to get re-acquainted with industry colleagues and forge new relationships throughout the duration of the conference.
We are pleased to be partnered with the Western Canadian Coal Society for this year’s technical program taking place on Wednesday, September 12th. Hear from the industry’s technical experts on a variety of topics.
