The Biggest Trends in Mining Right Now: Global Investment, China, Governments & Supply Chain Shifts

In this episode, we chat with Andrew Thake, Director at Beacon Events, one of the leading mining-focused events and conference businesses, operating across the world. We explore the important role mining conferences and industry events play in connecting investors, miners, governments, and the wider supply chain across the sector. Andrew also shares insights into his own journey within mining, how he developed his knowledge and network within the industry, and some of the influential books, personalities, and conversations that helped shape his understanding of the sector. We also discuss some of the major trends currently impacting mining globally, including the growing influence of government policy, critical minerals strategies, supply chain security, and the increasing importance of downstream and midstream processing. Andrew gives his perspective on the evolving role of Asian financial centres such as Hong Kong and Singapore within global mining finance, the commodities attracting the most market attention today and lessons he’s learned around mining investment from some of the industry’s most respected investors.
