Sulphide leaching technologies: the holy grail to unlock supply

In this panel, industry experts will discuss about the potential that new leaching technologies have in extending the life of mines or increase output. Particularly we will engage in understanding the different approaches and strategies that different companies have taken, and how this could shape future copper projects development and ultimately unlock supply to meet the increasing copper supply gap.

Leveraging Copper Discoveries in the Energy Transition

In order to meet copper demand, that needs to rise by 20% by 2035, mineral exploration discoveries need to increase dramatically. With holding costs for tenements set to dramatically increase over the next few years, 'speed' of exploration is more important than ever'. Ambient Noise Tomography method helps address this challenge with near real time results, speeding up the whole exploration journey. Learn how this cutting-edge technology is helping change the exploration scene and being deployed in South America.

Session 1 - Keynote discussion – Integrating Sustainability

Integrating sustainability into business practice requires multidisciplinary teams with the ability to identify interconnections. Miners have to simultaneously deal with the challenge of what this integration looks like in terms of known and familiar challenges and in terms of emerging changes such as carbon pricing and policy such as the IRA.

  • How are miners integrating sustainability at a corporate and employee level?
  • What are the challenges faced integrating existing systems with emerging technologies and environmental imperatives?
  • How does sustainability change thinking when it comes to developing new mines in already complicated high-cost environment?
  • How does a deeply integrated sustainability mindset alter relationships with host communities and governments?
  • What challenges and opportunities are posed by carbon pricing and green premia?
  • What steps are being taken to meet consumer requirements for greater traceability and transparency?
  • What new business conditions will be created by Carbon clubs and policy such as the IRA?

Shifting Sands: New Paradigms for Focused on Community & Choice, Copper’s Newest Variables

  • Policymakers, regulators, and investors increasingly affording outsized weight to historically marginalized voices right from the beginning of a mine permit review process       
  • The implications for future global copper production due to this shift are stark. FID now is dominated by the loudest voices
  • Even a small band of opponents can exert outsized influence as the social license to operate a copper mine is adjudicated
  • Options for action: Engagement success looks increasingly like engagement from the very beginning and a framework update to FPIC

The copper outlook: Debating CRU’s view with a bull, bear and dragon

The changing structure of the fundamental drivers of copper demand (broadly from China-construction-centric to GET-centric) is making the outlook for the next decade perhaps uniquely uncertain. It is therefore essential to consider alternative trajectories to a central case as investment decision makers set make their plans. This panel will discuss their views on where the industry is most likely to see potentially disruptive influences to CRU’s central case.
