U.S. Critical Minerals Leadership Forum

The U.S. Critical Minerals Leadership Forum is a pivotal event focused on enhancing U.S. industrial resilience through a mine-to-market execution summit. As the United States transitions from strategic planning to practical execution, this forum aims to address the urgent need for building, financing, permitting, and scaling critical mineral processing and refining capacities at an accelerated pace. It serves as an execution-focused platform that connects key stakeholders from mining, refining, engineering, industrial procurement, and capital providers to expedite project delivery and expand supply chains.Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with senior leaders from various sectors including mining, refining, defense, advanced manufacturing, engineering, and infrastructure capital, all of whom are actively involved in developing U.S. supply chains. Participants will gain insights into the requirements of industrial buyers and capital providers necessary for fostering long-term offtake and financing commitments. The forum will also feature real-world case studies that address critical issues such as permitting, qualification timelines, delivery risks, and commercial structuring. Furthermore, it provides a unique opportunity to build strategic relationships among upstream producers, downstream demand owners, and EPCM (Engineering, Procurement, Construction Management) partners.The event will also clarify federal funding frameworks, Department of Defense (DoD) procurement programs, and industrial specification requirements, positioning organizations at the forefront of the U.S. industrial build-out. Located in Dallas, a major hub for energy, infrastructure finance, engineering, and project development, this forum leverages the city's strategic importance in connecting stakeholders involved in the large-scale industrial asset development across North America. Dallas's proximity to advanced manufacturing and defense supply chains further emphasizes its role in meeting the rapidly growing demand for secure sources of critical minerals. With a concentration of capital providers, engineering expertise, and industrial procurement leaders, the U.S. Critical Minerals Leadership Forum presents an ideal environment for fostering collaboration among upstream producers, midstream processors, and downstream buyers, all working together to scale domestic processing and refining capacity.
