Digging Deep: Rare Earth Minerals and the Geopolitical Fault Lines
Please join Women in Mining UK and Pinsent Masons on the 26th of June as this panel discussion will explore the critical role of rare earth minerals in shaping today’s geopolitical landscape. With global tensions emerging from recent US actions, the war in Ukraine, and the Thucydides Trap, the mining industry confronts complex challenges at the nexus of industry, government and international relations. Our panel — comprising miners, experts in geopolitics, and export regulation experts —will share insights and spark dialogue on the forces reshaping the sector.
Key discussion points include:
• How do sanctions and export restrictions alter mining operations in volatile regions, and what approaches can balance compliance with operational continuity?
• What tools or strategies can help evaluate geopolitical risks like tariffs and trade barriers, and how can these inform decision-making?
• In what ways can collaboration between advisors and industry operators address regulatory hurdles while strengthening resilience?
• How have mining operations in conflict zones like Burkina Faso and Mali adapted to geopolitical upheaval, and what broader lessons emerge?
• What steps can the industry take to anticipate and mitigate the impacts of shifting tariffs, sanctions, and global policies?”
Please note that this event may be recorded and/or photographed and shared after the session.
