MMTA’s China Minor Metals Conference

Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong

4-5 November 2019

Organised by Metal Events

Following on from the success of the MMTA’s China Minor Metals Conference in Hong Kong last year we are delighted to to announce that the MMTA will be holding a 2 day conference at the Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong during 4-5 November 2019, organised by Metal Events Ltd.

China remains a key producer of a range of minor metals that are vital in technologies such as renewable energy, electronics, aviation and the automotive industries. It also dominates the supply of several minor metals to the rest of the world.

As always we will have an excellent line up of speakers and some of the topics covered will be on China’s trade policy; the impact the Sino/US trade war is having on the minor metals markets and latest developments in electronic metals.

The current fee is now GBP750/USD950 per person for MMTA members or GBP850/USD1050 per person for non-members and these rates are valid for all registrations completed by October 17 2019.
