The conference programme will have four streams running consecutively starting with shared session on the supply/demand balance in the market, demand from the steel industry and the China factor. We will then move onto the half day sessions on chrome, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum & vanadium on day one. Day two will start with the Junior Miners Showcase when we will focus on the new projects coming online, if you wish to participate please contact us on marketing@metalbulletin.com  Later we will move on to half day sessions on manganese, silicone,  tungsten, minor metals & rare earths.
