2025 11th Antimony Forum
2025-03-20 00:00 - 2025-03-21 23:59 | Xiamen, China, Xiamen, Fujian, China
In 2024, antimony prices hit historic highs as the industry ushers in an era of “New Situation, Pattern, and Development”. During the year, the world sees escalated geopolitical conflicts, frequent volatility in global finance markets, and distinct differentiation in global economic recovery. As China tightens its hold on export of antimony, the global price difference of antimony products changed dramatically, and the supply pattern is facing adjustment. In light of China’s push for low-carbon development and green transformation, antimony raw materials producers are facing enormous environmental pressure while keeping a low operating rate. The downstream flame retardant and photovoltaic markets also encountered development bottlenecks, and the end market entered a new round of adjustment.
How will the global antimony resource supply pattern shift in 2025? How will China adjust its antimony export control policies? How will the development direction of the European and American markets evolve? How can Chinese upstream and downstream enterprises resolve their pressures on high cost? How will the price trend of antimony products develop in the future?
First established in 2012, the Antimony Forum hosted by Asian Metal is dedicated to becoming a global forum summit event for antimony industry. Attracting hundreds of companies around the world each year, the Forum has been successfully held in places like Bangkok, Lisbon, Madrid, Changsha, Zhangjiajie, Kunming, Sanya and Zhuhai. In the eleventh year of the Forum, antimony industry elites from around the world will gather in Xiamen, China on March 20-21, 2025, to collectively explore the new era of development of antimony industry.

16th Rare Earth Summit
2025-05-15 00:00 - 2025-05-16 23:59 | Ningbo, China, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China
Reflecting on 2024: Challenges and Adjustments in the Rare Earth Industry
The year 2024 was marked by significant global changes and challenges:

The global economy was still in recovery mode, facing prominent geopolitical tensions, increasing trade barriers, and escalating financial risks.
The global rare earth market encountered numerous challenges and tests.

Developments in China’s Rare Earth Industry

As the core of the global supply chain, China’s rare earth separation and smelting capacities continued to expand.
Structural adjustments within the industry accelerated, with NdFeB permanent magnet production capacity rapidly increasing.
However, demand growth from end markets like new energy vehicles fell short of expectations.
Traditional downstream industries, including catalysts, phosphor powders, glass, and ceramics, faced significant dilemmas.

International Market Dynamics

A sluggish global economy slowed the development of downstream industries, such as the new energy vehicle market.
Despite the challenges, overseas rare earth producers expanded production and strengthened vertical supply chains.
Several rare earth projects pushed forward, defying the odds, all vying for greater market share.

Looking Ahead to 2025: Key Questions for the Rare Earth Industry

How will Chinese rare earth prices fluctuate?
How can China’s rare earth enterprises innovate and adapt to navigate the complex international landscape?
What opportunities and challenges await the overseas rare earth market?
Can emerging rare earth miners establish themselves globally?
Will the new energy vehicle industry experience rapid growth?
Can other rare earth downstream industries find paths to recovery?

Financial Review Mining Summit 2025
2025-05-21 00:00 - 23:59 | The Ritz-Carlton Perth, 1 Barrack St, Perth, WA, 6000, Australia
Australia’s mining industry is navigating a year of enormous political upheaval. A new administration in the White House is threatening to impose hefty tariffs on major trading partners, while at home elections could bring change to Canberra and the big resource states like Queensland and Western Australia. It means extra turbulence for an industry trying to keep pace with the fast-changing demands of big global battery makers, rising competition from regions like Africa, tightening sustainability standards, and the ongoing challenges of cyclical commodity prices. Such volatility often sparks M&A activity and IPOs – so where will investors place their bets?
Moderated and curated by the Financial Review’s experienced team of journalists, the 2025 Mining Summit will bring together the sector’s most influential leaders to confront critical questions: How can Australian miners stay globally competitive, drive sustainability, and extend the value chain for future prosperity?

The China Xinjiang International Mining Expo (CXIME) is one of western China’s largest and most strategically significant trade shows dedicated to the mining and mineral resources sector. Held annually in Urumqi, Xinjiang, the expo is organized with the backing of regional and national Chinese authorities and serves as a platform to promote mineral exploration, investment, equipment, and technology exchange across China’s vast and resource-rich northwest.
Key Features:

Strategic Location: Xinjiang is one of China’s most mineral-rich provinces, with 154 types of minerals identified and over 100 confirmed reserves. Its proximity to Central Asia and inclusion in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) makes it a vital hub for transcontinental mining logistics and supply chains.
Industry Scope: The expo covers a full range of mining activities, including exploration, drilling, blasting, mineral processing, tailings management, green mining practices, and digital mining technologies. It also emphasizes critical and strategic minerals, including rare earths, vanadium, titanium, and rubidium.
Attendees and Exhibitors: CXIME attracts over 500 exhibitors and 20,000+ trade visitors, including mining companies, equipment manufacturers, government officials, foreign trade delegations, and institutional investors from China, Central Asia, Russia, and the Middle East.
Government-Driven Agenda: The event is often used by the Chinese government to announce new mining rights, promote strategic mineral projects, and signal national priorities in resource security. For example, in 2025, 162 mining rights were publicly promoted at the expo, including rare metal blocks.

The Xinjiang Mining Expo is more than just a trade fair—it’s a strategic signaling event. As China accelerates domestic resource development and tightens control over critical mineral exports, CXIME is a frontline venue for showcasing its ambitions and forging cross-border partnerships. For Western observers and competitors, it’s an early window into Beijing’s evolving mineral dominance strategy.
