MMTA International Minor Metals Conference 2024

The MMTA’s International Minor Metals Conference 2024 will be held on 17th-19th April 2024 at the Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore.

We are delighted to bring the MMTA’s main conference to Asia following the successful two smaller regional minor metals events that the MMTA held in Hong Kong in 2018 and 2019.

The MMTA International Minor Metals Conference 2024, 17-19 April, Singapore, is a key international information and networking event for minor metals in Asia. This industry gathering will showcase what is happening in China and across Asia as well as look at the leading role companies in the region play as suppliers to the global specialty metals industry and strategic sectors such as energy transition. This is a unique opportunity to gain insights across critical raw materials and critical metal markets, to network with industry leaders and to expand your regional and global business.

Presentations will focus on the minor metals critical to these strategic sectors, including cobalt, rhenium, molybdenum, tantalum, indium, germanium, gallium, tungsten, chromium, magnesium, lithium, antimony and specialty alloys.

There will be plenty of networking opportunities again with the welcome reception on the evening of April 17 kindly hosted by CCMA.

New for 2024 there will be a gala dinner for all delegates on the evening of April 18, sponsored by ICD Group and Donald McArthy Trading PTE Ltd. The pre-drinks reception is kindly hosted by Advanced Alloy Services.

Lunches during the event will be hosted by Titan International and the coffee breaks by Exotech. There will also be a golf competition on April 17 hosted by ICD Group.
