Outlook 2025: complexity sets in; 'Exciting and scary time to be a miner'; IMARC 2025 update
International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC)
Australia's largest mining event | Where global mining leaders connect with technology, finance & the future
A complicated critical minerals outlook picture has only got more interesting in the opening weeks of 2025.
Dominic Barton , chair of mining major Rio Tinto , said in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: "There’s so many forces – technology, [mineral and metal] demands, geopolitics – all shifting at one time."
And that was before new US president Donald Trump was sworn into office for a second time. A Fitch Solutions BMI webinar this week heard a raft of White House trade missives signal the "biggest US policy led shock to the world economy since the 1970s".
We are also thrilled to share some exciting IMARC 2025 updates with you.
Following the success of IMARC 2024 we are delighted to announce that over 50% of the floorplan for IMARC 2025 has already been booked.
The planning for IMARC 2025 is well underway, with a strong focus on shaping an agenda that reflects the future trajectory of the mining industry. Stay tuned for the full agenda release in the next month, covering key industry topics such as decarbonisation, operational excellence, circularity and fast-tracking mining projects. In the meantime, you can watch the engaging sessions from IMARC 2024 below. Get insights from influential speakers and be inspired by the discussions that took place.

New mineral projects stuck between a rock and a hard place
Policy manoeuvring signalling the “biggest US policy led shock to the world economy since the 1970s” would likely result in further delays to critical mineral project delivery worldwide without disrupting China’s dominance of key metal supply chains, a 2025 mining and metals outlook webinar has heard.
Complexity piques demand for real mining vision
It’s an exciting and scary time to be a miner, Rio Tinto chair Dominic Barton said at this year’s Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Someone should get the number plate slogan ready for next year’s event. The ride is only going to get more exhilarating.
