The future of the critical minerals sector has never been more contested with the industry exposed to price swings, geopolitical strains and sudden disruptions. Paydirt’s Critical Battery Minerals Conference is the premier forum for stakeholders from every link in this complicated supply chain to discuss the future of the space.

Minerals as diverse as lithium, rare earths, copper, antimony, niobium, graphite, nickel, manganese, cobalt, tin, and vanadium are attracting unparalleled attention, not only from traditional investors but also governments, carmakers and end-users around the world.

US President Donald Trump’s critical minerals policies have set a new agenda, while the EU, UK, Japan and Korea are just as hungry for new critical minerals supply as they aim to break China’s domination. 

Australia and its mining sector is poised to play a crucial role in the middle of the critical minerals debate, and Paydirt’s Critical Battery Minerals Conference not only affords investors the opportunity to build their understanding of this dynamic sector but also brings together critical minerals stakeholders – representing governments and end-users from across the globe to discuss market outlooks, project development and the future of critical minerals supply chains.

Join us on 21-22 April 2026 for Australia’s only event dedicated to the development of the critical minerals industry.
