The Resourcing Tomorrow Government Roundtable is once again setting the benchmark for dialogue between governments and the mining sector, event organisers say.
Now in its third year, the roundtable will bring together ministers, ambassadors and industry executives to focus on the critical pillars of the G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan.
