Future Minerals Forum 2025 – Event post-script
As the global transition to a low-carbon economy accelerates, the mining industry finds itself at the centre of the action. With critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel increasingly in demand, the mining sector is not just an enabler of sustainability – it is becoming the foundation upon which the green future will be built.
The Future Minerals Forum (FMF), held in Riyadh in January 2024, highlighted this undeniable reality, demonstrating the industry’s evolving role in shaping the future of the global energy transition.
Below are the key takeaways that underscore the mining industry’s critical function in this transformation.
