Rare Earths and Beyond
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
CRITICAL MINERALS 2014 Rare Earths and Beyond: Mines, Markets and Manufacturing Westin Denver, Downtown Denver, Colorado, USA, August 3-5, 2014
PRELIMINARY PROGRAM
CRITICAL MINERALS 2014
Rare Earths and Beyond: Mines, Markets and Manufacturing Critical Minerals 2014 will focus both on rare earths and other critical minerals. It will evaluate where rare-earth markets are today, as well as identify and consider other minerals that are or may become critical, including antimony, indium, platinum, tellurium and tungsten. You will hear presentations on specific markets and projects from leading geologists, mining engineers, metallurgists, financiers and developers. Critical Minerals 2014 presents a unique opportunity to hear the first-hand experiences of a dynamic industry that is changing the global perception of sustainable supply from mine to showroom. SUNDAY, AUGUST 3 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
