Introduction
Post-pandemic economies are experiencing increased demand in electronics, sustainable energies, and electrification of things. As a result, global demands for critical minerals are on the rise. Lithium production is projected to increase by nearly 500 percent by 2050 to meet demands for renewable energy technologies, while global demand for Rare Earth Elements (REE) and other precious metals continues to skyrocket.
Our guest speakers and industry experts, in conjunction with AZo Mining, the leading online publication for the mining community, hosted a virtual symposium focused on mining and metallurgical challenges and the analytical trends to overcome them. The various presentations of the symposium also discuss topics like assessing the quality of raw materials, impurities management, precision mining methods, and much more.
