is organised under the MINEX Forum international trademark created in 2005 by Advantix Ltd.
MINEX Forum™ is dedicated to driving international cooperation for sustainable mining and development of mineral resources across Eurasia.
Founded in the UK in 2002 Advantix specialises in the organisation of international events in the field of international finance, mining & metallurgy, critical raw materials, industrial digitalisation, the transition to low-carbon production, etc.
The MINEX Europe Forum is an annual international event that has been taking place since 2015. The Forum assembles delegates from mining, technology, investment, and policy-making organisations, facilitating crucial discussions on sourcing primary raw materials sustainably to meet European industrial demands. It also examines the implications of key policies such as the European Critical Raw Materials Act, Just Transition, Green Deal and coal phase-out on the mining industry’s future.
The Forum adopts a nomadic format, rotating between different host countries each year. This approach enables a deeper understanding of the complex role the mining industry plays in the economy and social fabric of each host country while empowering local participants with new connections, best practices, and knowledge from across Europe and overseas. By engaging with industry leaders and policymakers, attendees actively contribute to the future of sustainable mineral extraction across the continent.
Each Forum brings together representatives from 20 to 30 countries in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia. Over half of the participants are actively involved in exploring and developing mining projects, while around a quarter work at innovation and technology companies. Other participants come from academic and research institutions, NGOs, financial services, and national and central governments. A large majority of MINEX Europe Forum participants hold positions responsible for decision-making processes and projects at the board and management levels.
The revitalisation of mining and mineral exploration in Europe has become a hotly debated topic since the escalation of trade disputes with China and the disruption of supply of critical raw materials and energy sources from Russia and Ukraine. The future of the green transition, climate change and the competitiveness of industries from automotive to energy depend on securing essential minerals and metals.
This legislation, combined with the EU's Green Transition Act, is perceived as a catalyst for Europe's Mining Renaissance. In addition to efforts from central governments, synergy between national governments, local authorities and communities is essential to put these acts into motion.

The realities of the proposed reinvigoration of the European mining industry differ from one region to another. While Nordic countries, including Finland, Sweden, Norway and Greenland, are actively enacting mining development plans, their counterparts in Southern, Eastern and Central European countries are struggling to source financial, social and political capital to support existing and new mining projects.
Furthermore, some countries with the century-old mining traditions are concentrating their efforts on closing lignite coal, uranium and PGM mining and focusing on retraining former miners and economic diversification of the historically active mining regions.
Breaking through the “bubble of silence” that often surrounds these sensitive issues and politicised decisions is one of the major objectives of the 8th MINEX Europe Forum, taking place in Prague on 22-23 October. Based on our previous events held across Western Balkans and Central Europe, we believe that the Forum will provide an unbiased platform for an urgently needed professional and open-minded discussion on the current challenges and potential solutions for the mining and mineral exploration sector and its role in securing Europe’s requirements for essential metals and minerals while introducing the highest standards in mining and post-mining reconciliation.
The 8th MINEX Europe Forum will be held on the 22 and 23 October in Prague featuring the two-day conference programme with 40 speaker presentations and panel discussions. On 24 October the Forum participants will be offered an opportunity to visit one of the regions near Prague and to learn from the experiences of the Czech Government programme on post-mining reconciliation.
to stimulate international cooperation in the field of sustainable development of mining and metallurgical production in Eurasian countries. Over the years, the MINEX Forum has become one of the most authoritative international events in Europe and Central Asia. The Forum’s ecosystem connects thousands of specialists from hundreds of companies and organisations worldwide. The MINEXForum.com news and analytical portal regularly covers mining industry news across 30 countries of Europe and Central Asia.
Since 2010, Astana has annually hosted the MINEX Kazakhstan Mining and Exploration Forum.
Founded in 2010, the MINEX Central Asia Forum was held in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.
MINEX Europe Forum has been held since 2015 in Austria, Serbia, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania and Poland. The Forum is dedicated to the development of the reproduction of mineral resources across European mining jurisdictions.
The MINEX Eurasia Conference has been organised in London since 2012. It remains the only annual event in the UK dedicated to the presentation of the investment potential of mining and exploration opportunities in Central Asia and Mongolia.
Established in 2005, MINEX Forum’s Eurasian Mining News Digest is a daily source of comprehensive and up-to-date reportage on the mineral resources sector across Europe, Central and Eastern Asia, Caspian and the Caucasus. We deliver news through a diverse range of mediums, including written articles, videos, and audio content.
