Following the success of the previous two years, Industrial Minerals Events will host the 3^rd South East Asian Industrial Minerals Conference in Jakarta, Indonesia in June 2013.

Launched to complement the biennial Industrial Minerals International Congress, which has served the industry for over 30 years, this event will focus specifically on what the South East Asian region has to offer to all players within the industrial minerals marketplace, as well as creating the opportunity for all to convene in one room.

The South East Asian region has been of interest to many industrial minerals producers, investors and customers for quite some time. However, with recent global changes and the introduction of new mining and export laws from key countries, the region is now more strategically critical than ever before.

As the region offers growing alternative consumer markets, new and exciting investment opportunities and new sources of raw materials that could potentially disrupt traditional supply chains – can you afford to miss the 3^rd South East Asian Industrial Minerals Conference?

The programme will cover a wide range of topics focussed on examining the increasing consumption demands, investment opportunities and mineral exploration projects underway in the region at present. Also, addressing key end user markets that have strong holds in the Asia Pacific such as Ceramics, Pigments, Glass, Paper, Electric vehicles and fertilizers.

Key topics for discussion: 

Indonesia’s regulations - how do they fit into the government’s plans for growth?

How can the new export bans present a golden opportunity for mineral processing firms looking to invest in the region?

TiO2 and Zircon processing and replacement

Why it might be in China’s best interest to invest in bauxite beneficiation in Indonesia

The Markets in Myanmar - why are international companies taking such an interest?

Can South East Asian sources offer a long term solution for rare earth supply security for large consumers like Japan?

Gaining a better understanding of Sri Lankan Vein Graphite and its applications

Will Vietnam become a new hotspot for chromite?

What do the finance markets say about minerals in South East Asia?

Could the Malaysian Palm Oil industry give a massive boost to potash consumption?
