The Northern Miner

London Mining Week
2026-12-01 08:00 - 2026-12-03 17:00 (America/Toronto) | Business Design Centre, London, United Kingdom
Resourcing Tomorrow London brings London Mining Week back in 2026 under the theme “Beyond the echo chamber: Turning talk into action.”
A market under mounting pressure needs informed decisions. Demand is rising across defence, AI, energy and industrial supply chains, yet projects continue to face familiar barriers: slow permitting, limited capital, infrastructure gaps, processing challenges and public trust.
As the anchor event of London Mining Week, the event gathers more than 2,300 senior decision-makers in London, at the heart of global finance and policy.
The focus is practical: how capital gets deployed, projects get approved, partnerships are built, and the sector delivers the metals and minerals the world needs.
